JoJo Siwa’s House Swatted After Coming Out As Gay On Instagram Live
After confirming her sexuality and coming out as gay on Instagram live, 17-year-old YouTuber JoJo Siwa‘s house was swatted! This means someone made a false police report, causing law enforcement, specifically a SWAT team, to respond to her location. Swatting is a crime and some incidents have actually turned deadly.
In Siwa’s case, after sharing a lengthy live — speaking candidly on her reveal, claiming, “I have never, ever, ever been this happy before” — someone turned her joyous moment into an unsavory incident. An anonymous caller allegedly told police the young entertainer had a gun and was firing shots.

Social media has since come to Siwa’s defense and blasted the anonymous caller for their alleged homophobic and selfish actions. One user writes, “the fact that Jojo Siwa was swatted really shows that LGBTQ+ folk are never truly welcome, regardless of who you are. pathetic f***ing worms just do this sh*t.” Another writes, “what the f**k did jojo siwa actually get swatted?? there’s way too much hate in the world, that’s so awful. i’m so filled with rage my heart is constantly breaking about how lgbt people will never be able to just live without sh*t like this happening.” #Socialites, thoughts?

Apparently JoJo Siwa lives in my neighborhood and I found that out because some asshole “swatted” her and told the cops she had a gun and was firing shots. 🤦🏻♀️ People suck.
