JoJo Siwa has parted ways with Kath Ebbs, who took to TikTok on April 26th to reveal the heart-wrenching turn of events. In a poignant video, Ebbs disclosed that their relationship came to an abrupt end at a recent afterparty for "Celebrity Big Brother UK." Apparently, Siwa, 21, grew close to one of her costars, Chris Hughes, during filming, leading to the split.
"I traversed continents to offer unwavering support, only to find myself deserted at the afterparty, with Chris [Hughes] just a room away," Ebbs lamented. "I was blindsided by claims of confused emotions and the realization that I wasn't the partner Siwa envisioned for the foreseeable future. This revelation has left me feeling subhuman, utterly humiliated, and deeply embarrassed."
Representatives for Siwa did not promptly respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on the same day.
Ebbs, who embraces they/them pronouns and had embarked on a romance with Siwa months before their reality TV stint, alleged that they were swept off their feet by Siwa's intense declarations of love, including marriage proposals.
During the filming of "Celebrity Big Brother UK," Siwa reportedly sent messages exuding admiration for their bond, which Ebbs perceived as evidence of solidarity and trust. "Siwa showered me with grand promises, reassuring me endlessly," Ebbs continued. "Yet, they ultimately decided to pursue independence and explore certain feelings, leaving me behind."
Addressing recent episodes of the show, Ebbs confirmed that viewers witnessed genuine moments, including instances of emotional infidelity, boundary violations, and Siwa's questioning of their relationship. "None of it was staged," Ebbs emphasized. "It took less than an hour for those actions to unfold."
Regarding Hughes, Ebbs refrained from passing judgment, stating, "I have opinions, but I won't voice them now. Their relationship is their journey, and I wish them well."
Reflecting on the situation, Ebbs added, "The future remains uncertain, but this breakup has been incredibly painful."
Ebbs' candid social media post follows Hughes' defense of their platonic bond on the show, as reported by E! News. "We're just having fun, being kids," Hughes clarified. "She's someone I enjoy being around."
During a confessional on "Celebrity Big Brother UK," Siwa praised Hughes as a "one-of-a-kind gentleman" and someone "so easy to love and laugh with." She confessed, "Christopher, the affection I've developed for you here is overwhelming. I genuinely believe you're a crucial part of my life that I didn't know I was missing."
These revelations paint a poignant picture of a relationship that, despite its promising beginning, ultimately crumbled under the pressures and complexities of reality TV and evolving personal feelings.
