JoJo Siwa's former partner Kath Ebbs has broken their silence after revealing that Siwa dumped them shortly after leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house.
In a statement on social media, Ebbs said: "I don’t even know where to begin. I’m filming this in a complete state of shock, which I know is probably distressing and giving, 'Go have a sleep'.
"But I feel so numbed out right now and so disorientated that I feel like the only thing I have to do to place this situation is to finally address it after two weeks of sitting back watching certain things unfold and not being able to get any clarity from the person that it involved.
"It seems to me I have experienced a version of [love bombing]. Being told I’m the love of someone’s life, being asked to marry them before this social experiment."

Ebbs continued, explaining that they were dumped by Siwa at the show's after party.
"Being adored throughout behind closed doors. Being hurt by what I saw but wanting to work through it and have a conversation and get clarity," they said.
"To be met with, yeah, being further humiliated in a weird way. That’s more of a feeling, I don’t know if it’s fact.
"In the last eight hours I flew here and went to the live show to show up for my partner, and support them in their experience and later on address my feelings of hurt, and work through them. Like all relationships do.
"But before I could even get back to the hotel I… it’s actually crazy… I went to the afterparty with my now ex, and was dumped in the party.
"I was told there were confused feelings there and they had realised in the house I wasn’t the person they wanted to spend the foreseeable with."
During her time in the CBB house, viewers had speculated whether Siwa and fellow housemate Chris Hughes were too ‘flirty’ with each other.
During Wednesday’s episode of the reality TV show, RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Danny Beard had been keeping a keen eye on the pair, and didn't hold back as he commented on their close friendship.
"You two either need to f**k or stop,” Danny quipped.
Both Siwa and Hughes laughed off the comment, as Danny continued: “And your bird is about to pull you when you get out, you’ll have a front page spread in The Sun.”
Danny’s silly warning came just a few hours after he made a similar comment to Siwa about her partner, Kath.
In first few moments of the episode, Hughes and Siwa were seen cuddling in bed, which prompted Danny to say: “Did you sleep together in that bed?”
“No!” Siwa replied.
“I’d be prepared for your girlfriend to throw some punches,” Danny quipped.
“Oh God no, they won’t care,” Siwa explained.
Siwa also revealed that being on the reality TV programme helped her realise she’s 'not a lesbian' and that she now identifies as 'queer'.
On their Instagram Stories, Ebbs added that 'the internet was right for once'.
Tyla has reached out to Siwa's reps for comment.
