Miley Cyrus slammed over joke about getting JoJo Siwa ‘back out' of the closet
Miley Cyrus' comment came in like a wrecking ball.
The former Disney Channel star was slammed after joking about JoJo Siwa coming 'back out' of the closet amid her romance with Chris Hughes.
The Hannah Montana star, 32, made the controversial quip in a Dreamland Pride Festival video on Sunday, reports Page Six.
'Enjoy coming out of the closet if this Pride is the time for you,' the actress said over the weekend, telling attendees to 'have an amazing Pride.'
The Grammy winner concluded, 'Alright, I'm going back to get some more pretzels and find JoJo Siwa and bring her back out.'
Social media users took to X to remind Cyrus that 'hello, bisexuality is a thing.'
One wrote, 'I adore Miley but this isn't OK. JoJo never went back into the closet, SHE'S STILL QUEER!! Again JoJo being with Chris doesn't erase or change her attraction to women.'
Others, however, defended the Flowers singer and insisted she was 'just joking.'
Reps for Cyrus and Siwa have yet to respond to Page Six 's request for comment.
Siwa, notably, came out in 2021.
'I still don't know what I am. It's like, I want to figure it out,' she clarified to People at the time. 'I always just say gay because it just kind of covers it or queer because I think the keyword is cool.
'Technically I would say that I am pansexual because that's how I have always been my whole life is just, like, my human is my human,' Siwa, 22, continued.
The Dance Moms alum has since dated Kylie Prew, Katie Mills, Avery Cyrus, Dakayla Wilson and Kath Ebbs.
Siwa was in a relationship with Ebbs when she joined Season 24 of Celebrity Big Brother UK — where she met Hughes.
The pair continued to make headlines for their PDA moments, with Siwa giving an update on her sexuality during a confessional.
'I think being here, I've realised, 'Oh no, I'm not a lesbian, I'm queer,' she said. 'I think that's really cool. I'm switching letters!'
Shortly after finishing the show — and ending things with Ebbs at the wrap party — Siwa confirmed her relationship with Hughes, 32, is not a 'platonic' one.
She gushed, 'I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way.'
As for Miley, the L ast Song star has been publicly out as pansexual since 2016.

Kylie Jenner slips into skin-tight latex mini-dress for night out
Kylie Jenner is proud of her curves. Days after getting candid about her breast augmentation, the entrepreneur stepped out wearing a latex Khy x Poster Girl dress while leaving The Nice Guy in Los Angeles on Saturday night. She let the second-skin dress do all the talking, accessorising only with clear Gianvito Rossi heels. Jenner, 27, styled her long black hair down with loose waves. Earlier in the week, she spilled the details on her breast implants after a fan gushed she had the 'most perfect, natural boob job ever.' 'Help a girl out @Kylie Jenner, I just want to know how to get them to sit like that, respectfully,' a TikTokker asked the reality star. Jenner then responded, '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!!' 445 cc is between a D and a DD cup depending on the original breast size, per London's Centre for Surgery, while a 'moderate profile' is supposed to appear the most natural. The Kardashians star also dropped the name of her plastic surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, who practices in Beverly Hills, California. 'Hope this helps lol,' Jenner added. The makeup mogul previously revealed she'd gone under the knife when she was 19 years old during an episode of Hulu's The Kardashians in July 2023. 'I wish I could … do it all differently,' she candidly shared, explaining she wanted to be an example to her kids: daughter Stormi, 7, and son Aire, 3. 'Because I wouldn't touch anything … I'd be heartbroken if [Stormi] wanted to get her body done at 19,' Jenner added. Earlier that year, the TV personality was called out by fans after claiming she hadn't had 'so much' work on her face. 'I think a big misconception about me is that I've had so much surgery on my face and that I was some insecure person, and I really wasn't!' Jenner told HommeGirls in April 2023. She also clarified that she doesn't 'regret' her lip filler.

Jesse Williams' X account seemingly targeted by hackers
The former Grey's Anatomy star's X/Twitter account was seemingly infiltrated by an outsider who used the page to post inappropriate comments, involving celebrities such as Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Drake, Nina Dobrev and Demi Lovato. The messages, which were still on his account at press time, contained nudity and jokes about racism and paedophilia. During the posting spree, the apparent hacker wrote, "Diddy had cute butt cheeks (loved-up emoji)" and "I miss diddy", to imply that he was close with the rapper.

‘That is wild': Jennifer Lopez stuns with very revealing concert outfit
Now those are some jaw-dropping looks. Jennifer Lopez shocked fans when she hit the stage in dangerously high-cut bodysuits during her WorldPride performance in Washington, DC on Saturday. Created by New York-based brand The Blonds, the sparkly silver thong-style nearly caused a wardrobe malfunction during a rendition of her new song, Save Me Tonight. Lopez's look also included a plunging neckline and grommets studding the barely there piece. Lopez, who works with stylists Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, rocked the bodysuit with coordinating shimmery silver over-the-knee boots. The On The Floor singer, 55, smouldered in her signature bombshell make-up look, finishing her glam with long waves of honey-blonde hair. In true Lopez fashion, the mother of two pulled out a second racy bodysuit during her WorldPride gig. The second look, courtesy of fashion designer Rey Ortiz, included black patent leather and faux beige cutouts that framed her abs and hips. And the sultry looks didn't stop there — Lopez bared her toned body in a sparkly bra and matching tiny bottoms with a flame design. 'Major shoutout to @theblondsny for slaying my sparkly World Pride stage looks — and to @fashionbyreyortiz for that fierce black catsuit moment,' Lopez wrote in an Instagram caption. 'You all didn't just understand the assignment, you rewrote it. Queens of the stage, crowned and confirmed!' Fans were loving the daring looks, with one commenting, 'Iconic but also the cut of that bodysuit is wilddddddddddd I need a documentary on how that works.' Another said, 'Your energy and power is unmatched. What a show you gave us my love!! The queen is back and a third wrote, 'Add runway model to your resume baby!!! Tens across the board.' Per Out Magazine, Lopez stopped to thank her queer fans amid her performance. 'Over the years, your love and your support have been a source of strength for me and today I am here to celebrate you,' she said to the crowd. 'I'm so happy to be able to be here to celebrate community, diversity, love, and freedom.'
