“The police said someone called and made a claim, and then paparazzi suddenly came around the corner.”
After you came out as a member of the LGBTQ + community, JoJo Siwa apparently had to get out of her house by the police … for a photo?
The social media star, who blew up social and traditional media this past weekend with a revelation of a few days, says she believes paparazzi ‘talked’ to her and her family to create their moment.

Swatted is defined as a fake report to get a police presence or SWAT team to go somewhere where it is not necessary. In this case, it happened to be the place where someone who just blew up the internet lived.
Although she obviously cannot say for sure who made the false call, Siwa does know who immediately benefited.
“We went outside, hands up, as you should,” she said. “Police said someone called and made a claim, and then suddenly paparazzi came around the corner.”

While swat is illegal, it is also a waste of public resources, which has bothered Siwa even more than being bustled. “There was [sic] ‘About 50 police outside my house and the police could have had a much better time helping someone else instead of dealing with a false claim from paparazzi,’ she argued.
“Come literally just ring my doorbell, paparazzi. I’ll blow you out of my window for you,” she continued.
Although she is not happy at all about the length, she believes that these photographers made a fresh image of her, Siwa repeated how happy she is in general after she came out. At the same time, she appreciates that the media cares so much.
“Since I recently ‘came out’ on the internet, which is officially the term, the media is obviously very excited, which I love very much and I love the support,” she said. “However, you know, you could just hung outside my house, and I would have finally come outside. ‘
As for her outreach, Siwa has yet to put a label on herself, and that may be why she started the whole journey by Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” sync.

“I recently told the internet how happy I was and told the internet that I am who I am. I told the internet, ‘No matter if you’re gay, straight or bi, lesbian, ‘I’m not living transgender, I’m on the right track, honey, I was born to survive,’ ‘she told Javier.
“The only reason I do not say who I am is because I do not really know, but I know I am really happy and that is all that matters.”
After days of teasing with lip zinc and t-shirts, Siwa officially appeared in a long video on her own Instagram on Saturday. Asked by a fan how long he has been part of the community, Siwa said in it: “I do not know – I think all my life?”
“My whole life I was real – I loved people, but I’ve never been in love before,” she continued. “But I always believed that my person was just going to be my person. If the person happened to be a boy, then that’s great. If that person happened to be a girl, great.”
