JoJo Siwa is most well known for her appearance on Dance Moms with her mother as well as her songs Boomerang and Kid in a Candy Store.
However, the now 19-year-old recdntly made headlines for something all together different.
Siwa made it appear she might be pregnant in a series of Snapchat posts.
After letting the rumors circulate for a while, she dispelled the rumor through a TikTok video showing her laughing and shaking her head at the pictures.
The photo that started the rumor was pretty convincing.

Siwa made a follow up video with her friend Ezra Sosa where he eluded to the fact he was the father of her non-existent child.
" You know that everyone thinks I'm the dad, right?"
In another Snapchat photo, she eluded to the fact that she's pregnant by buying a "haul" of baby clothes.
\u201cThis is the 4th snapchat Jojo Siwa has posted pretending to be pregnant for clicks on her story. (I\u2019ve watched through her extremely long story just for her to say she\u2019s not prego, just excited to be one day)\n\nDoes anyone else find this extremely weird and kinda insensitive???\u201d— Sabelle \ud83c\udf3f (@Sabelle \ud83c\udf3f) 1679862134

People on social media didn't find the joke funny.
Many people took to Twitter to inform Siwa the post was insensitive and inappropriate.

\u201c@chaoticchloeeee Anything that deals with pregnancy jokes is disgusting in my eyes.\u201d— \u2765 chloe haag (@\u2765 chloe haag) 1679935495
\u201c@chaoticchloeeee Extremely honestly. Especially after she\u2019s did the same thing over and over and people have literally told her that it\u2019s not cool lol like the joke was not funny the first time girl move on. I really loved JoJo too til this\u201d— \u2765 chloe haag (@\u2765 chloe haag) 1679935495
\u201c@chaoticchloeeee I think the idea behind the \u201cend result\u201d had good intentions but I think she went about it completely wrong\u201d— \u2765 chloe haag (@\u2765 chloe haag) 1679935495
Most people agreed the posts were in poor taste.
Hopefully Siwa learned from this experience.
