JoJo Siwa’s mother Jessalynn weighs in on Candace Cameron Bure drama

'It's not about a simple photo it's about how you treat people': JoJo Siwa's mother Jessalynn Siwa weighed in on her daughter's controversy with Candace Cameron Bure; pictured 2018

JoJo Siwa’s mother Jessalynn Siwa weighed in on the recent controversy surrounding her daughter and actress Candace Cameron Bure.

Siwa, 47, posted a video in which she explained the interaction her daughter allegedly had with Bure when she was 11-years-old. The exchange ultimately led to JoJo, 19, calling the Fuller House actress the ‘rudest celebrity’ she had ever met in a now-viral TikTok video.

‘I talked about this on my podcast a while back,’ she posted to Instagram. ‘The recent story told wasn’t quite right so here is the real version. At the end of the day this story, it’s not about a simple photo it’s about how you treat people.

‘Real, genuine kindness always goes a long way. It’s super easy to quote a Bible verse when everyone is looking at you but morals are what you have when no one is looking,’ she added.

In the video, Jessalyn recounted the exchange between her daughter and Bure. The two briefly interacted at the Fuller House premiere when JoJo asked Bure, who played DJ Tanner on the show, for a photo.

‘JoJo ran into DJ and was like, “Oh, my God, I love you so much. Can we please take a selfie?”‘ Jessalynn said. ‘And she was like, “Not now. Maybe later.” Word for word, “Not now, maybe later.”‘ she explained.

‘Fast forward, we go on the Kelly Clarkson show, who was on the day JoJo… I go, “If she even asks for a picture, please say not now maybe later. Just kidding, don’t say that.” ‘

Asked if there was any interaction that day, she said, ‘No, she just couldn’t be bothered,’ she explained. ‘And you know what, maybe she was having an emergency and her kid was crying and she was trying to get a hold of the babysitter, I do not know what was going on, but it’s funny when you don’t know and somebody treats you like that? Not now, maybe later?

And it’s hard to be a celebrity, I’ll give it to you, but that was so long ago. I can’t even tell you and I still remember it.’

The JoJo-Candace controversy erupted last week after the former Dance Moms star called the Fuller House actress the ‘rudest celebrity’ she had ever met in a now-viral TikTok clip.

Bure revealed in a subsequent Instagram post she ended up calling Siwa over the matter, who explained why exactly she publicly bashed the actress as ‘rude.’

The Full House star said Siwa told her the comment stemmed from an incident when the pair met on a red carpet when the former Dance Moms star was just 11 years old. Siwa claimed she asked Bure for a photo at the time—but that Bure told her ‘not right now,’ and then she never returned for the photo despite moving on to take photos with others.

Bure, who is a devout Christian, admitted that the teenager’s story ‘broke her heart’, and revealed that she offered up an apology to Siwa, telling her: ‘I broke your 11-year-old heart. Please know that as a mom that it breaks my heart that I made you feel that way.’

‘All good on the JoJo front,’ Candace said after summarizing their conversation.

But in video obtained by Page Six, JoJo alleged the actress ‘didn’t share all the details of the meeting’.

‘It’s one of those memories that little 11-year-old me was just stuck with. And it was at the after party that she didn’t want to take a picture with me,’ she explained last week.

‘And I was okay with that, but then I turned around, and when I looked back, she was taking pictures with other kids. And that’s what made me really, really upset.

‘It’s just one of those memories that whenever you’re little, somebody says something to you and you just like never forget it for as long as you live.’

‘We had about a 10 minute conversation and it was sweet. She apologized and we talked and it was cool. It was nice,’ she added.

A job applicant who had nothing else to lose responded to a rejection letter with a hilarious meme — and ended up scoring an interview with the company.

TikTok user @swedishswan shared her story in a now-viral video, explaining that she had woken up to ‘another rejection letter’ from a job that she had applied for.

‘I really kind of wanted this job, so I took a lesson from Gen Z, and I sent them back this,’ she said, sharing a picture of the meme she responded with.

The meme in question is a painting of Pope Leo X by Fernando Botero that has the phrase ‘y tho’ written underneath his face.

Much to her surprise, the move ended up reinvigorating the company’s interest in her as a job applicant.

‘They sent me another email saying they do, in fact, now want to interview me,’ she said. ‘I can’t believe that worked.’

The video has been viewed more than five million times and has received thousands of comments from delighted viewers.

‘These are the stories that keep me going in life,’ one person wrote, while another added: ‘As a recruiter, if someone felt that to me, I would ABSOLUTELY want an interview.’

‘Responding to a rejection email was literally how I got my job now,’ someone else commented. ‘I kept thinking: what are they gonna do, NOT hire me MORE?’

'I really kind of wanted this job, so I took a lesson from Gen Z,' she said, adding: 'I can't believe that worked'

TikTok user @swedishswan never shared where she got the idea from, but she was likely inspired by another viral video that took the internet by storm earlier this year.

Samantha Jane, who is known as @samantha_jane on the platform, revealed in March that her sister Hannah, a job recruiter, received the same meme in response to a rejection email.

The bold move didn’t work in this case, but plenty of people thought it was amusing, including Samantha.

The TikTok user has since made her account private, but she described the response being ‘the most Gen Z thing’ she has ever seen, according to The Independent.

‘No context, no other text, just the meme. I love it so much,’ she added.

American woman living in Sydney reveals she NEVER uses handbrake when parking

The American driver known as Brit made the surprising claim in a now viral TikTok, and admitted she was shocked Sydney motorists relied on the brake so heavily

American woman living in Sydney is left baffled by the seemingly obvious action Aussies use to park a car – and she can’t believe we do it every time

  • US woman living in Sydney said she never puts on her car’s handbrake
  • She asked if other Americans did, noticing that most Aussies used the brake
  • TikTok commenters came out in force asking how she got her driver’s license
  • While others were amazed,’the car literally rolls away if we don’t use the brake’

Published: | Updated:

A US woman living in Australia has revealed she never puts the handbrake on when she parks her car.

The American driver known as Brit made the surprising claim in a now viral TikTok, and admitted she was shocked Sydney motorists relied on the brake so heavily.

‘If you’re American, do you use the parking brake when you drive? Or when you park, I suppose?’ she said in the video.

‘Because I’ve never used one in my entire life. But I think everyone uses them in Australia.

‘And my boyfriend asks me to drive and I have to look at it and say ”Is it on? I don’t know”.’

She captioned the video: ‘They’re so safe here I love it’ but copped an onslaught of criticism from fellow TikTokkers.

‘How did you get a license to drive here? Handbrake use is in the driving test, you either get ticked or failed on it,’ one commenter said.

‘The car literally rolls away if we don’t,’ said another.

‘Yeah if you want to find your car where you left it,’ someone added.

Another said they were ‘flabbergasted’ every time they heard an American person say they don’t use a handbrake.

Brit later clarified that cars ‘are not just rolling away’ in the US, and said the parking brake was only used if the driver stopped on a hill.

She added once the car is put in park, it didn’t need the handbrake on.

‘When you put it in park, you can lean on it, you can push it, it doesn’t roll anywhere,’ she said in another video.

‘We don’t need to put the parking brake on unless you’re on a really steep hill – that’s what we’re taught.’

But many were still unconvinced.

‘Using the park break not only is a failsafe it’s to take away stress and strain from your gearbox/transmission,’ one commented.

‘My sister literally got run over by her own car. It was parked without the hand brake on,’ said another.

'Using the park break not only is a failsafe it's to take away stress and strain from your gearbox/transmission,' the man wrote on her TikTok post

A Sydney schoolboy has gone viral for an electrifying 13-second performance of a 1950s rock-and-roll hit he heard for the first time while watching Top Gun: Maverick.

Robbie Hunt, who attends St Joseph’s College at Hunters Hill, belted out a rendition of Jerry Lee Lewis’ 1957 hit ‘Great Balls of Fire’ in one of the school’s music rooms.

Mr Hunt admitted to 2GB host Ben Fordham on Monday that he had never heard the song but was inspired to learn it after watching the Top Gun sequel.

‘I heard the song a couple times and I wanted to learn it but never really took the time to do it,’ Mr Hunt said.

‘I sat down and heard the song and started kind of playing around and I thought, “oh, there it is”.’

Hunt said he did not think the video would receive so much attention and that his new-found fame was ‘pretty crazy’.

‘I just posted it and went to bed,’ Hunt said.

‘When I woke up and my phone kept vibrating, I was like, “that’s very annoying at this time in the morning” and then I went and looked at it.

‘I was like, “Oh, it’s over 500,000 [views]oh that’s a huge number.”

The St Joseph's College student said he first heard the song while watching the iconic scene in Top Gun: Maverick (pictured)

He then went to class and came back to one million views – which has since soared.

Ben Fordham described Hunt as ‘looking like a movie star’ and social media users agree, with some even asking for his hand in marriage.

‘Holy moly, hot and can sing’, one user wrote.

‘He’s Australian OMG I am too, I want you [for real],’ another user wrote.

A third user chimed: ‘So are you single or what?’

‘Who is this kid and when can I marry him,’ another user commented.

Hunt, who has been singing for ‘nearly [his] whole life’ and playing piano since ‘early primary school’, said he wants to pursue music after school and is focused on doing well in his exams.

Hunt noted his family and friends love how the video has gone viral with some calling it ‘hilarious’. However, his grandparents have warned him not to ‘get a big head’ and let the attention distract him from his HSC trials.

‘Obviously music and that stuff is what I want to do with my life but I think the way I can give back is to put my head down and go well in school and sport,’ Hunt said.

The teen is in the midst of preparing for his HSC trials and has already been accepted into the prestigious JMC Arts Academy.

Netflix sues Unofficial Bridgerton musical by TikTokers for copyright infringement

Bridgerton S2 01 IMAGE

Netflix has sued the creators of an allegedly unauthorized musical stage production of its popular period drama Bridgerton, accusing them of copyright infringement after building demand for their knock-off on TikTok.

The complaint was filed against Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear in the federal court in Washington, DC, three days after a sold-out performance of The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical in that city’s Kennedy Center.

A lawyer for the defendants had no immediate comment, having yet to review the complaint.

Bridgerton, based on Julia Quinn’s bestselling romance novels, attracted 82 million viewers in the first four weeks of the series’s debut on Netflix, a record at the time.

It was renewed for a second season, and inspired a spin-off series and live event, The Queen’s Ball, hosted in six cities.

Netflix said after Bridgerton was first released in December 2020, the defendants started posting about the series to TikTok, where they have 2.4 million followers, including creating songs based on characters, scenes, dialogue and plot points.

The company said it warned the defendants repeatedly to stop, but they ploughed ahead with an album titled The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical, which won a Grammy award, and their stage show.

“Barlow & Bear’s conduct began on social media, but stretches ‘fan fiction’ well past its breaking point,” Netflix said.

“It is blatant infringement of intellectual property rights.”

Barlow and Bear’s musical was performed in front of a sold-out crowd at the Kennedy Center in Washington, where Netflix was hosting its own live Bridgerton experience.

The Kennedy Center show “attracted Bridgerton fans who would have otherwise attended the Bridgerton Experience and created confusion as to whether Netflix had approved of Barlow & Bear’s unauthorized derivative works,” Netflix said in the lawsuit.

A September performance is planned for Royal Albert Hall in London, the suit claims.

Series creator Shonda Rhimes said in a statement while there is “so much joy” in seeing audiences fall in love with Bridgerton and find creative ways to express their appreciation, “what started as a fun celebration by Barlow & Bear on social media has turned into the blatant taking of intellectual property solely for Barlow & Bear’s financial benefit.”

Author Quinn added she was “flattered and delighted” when Barlow and Bear composing Bridgerton songs and sharing with their other fans on TikTok.

“There is a difference, however, between composing on TikTok and recording and performing for commercial gain,” she said.

The lawsuit seeks to stop the alleged infringements, plus unspecified damages.
