JoJo Siwa blasted by her ex Kath Ebbs’ best friend as she hits out in shock TikTok rant
CELEBRITY Big Brother star JoJo Siwa has been called out by her ex Kath Ebbs’ best pal in a brutal TikTok rant.
Kath, 27, revealed they had been dumped by the Dance Moms alum during the wrap party for the ITV reality series.
It came despite the fact the pair had been “discussing marriage” and amid the backdrop of JoJo’s blossoming connection with co-star Chris Hughes, 32.
Now Kath’s close mate, Australian media personality Abbie Chatfield, 29, has stuck in the knife and claimed “JoJo is a reality TV genius and knew it would make headlines.”
Filming her TikTok clip on her bedroom floor as she was getting ready, Abbie, dressed in a red dressing gown, said: “The Kath and JoJo thing has missed a huge part of the conversation.
“As Kath’s friend, I want to give you guys a bit of a point of view.”
Abbie admitted she “wouldn’t love” the pair’s behaviour, which saw JoJo plant a kiss on Chris’ shoulder amid a number of intimate moments.
She admitted JoJo was lovely when she met her “a few times and was mature” before she added: “This was proven otherwise.”
Abbie clarified: “Because she is a career reality TV star right?
“She’s incredibly good at it, she’s incredibly smart.
“She’s very hard working, very successful, but she is a rage baiter.
“We are all aware of that, she knows any publicity is good publicity, it’s gotten her a career.
“Well, it’s elevated her career.”
Abbie added: “I don’t think – I would hope – that this was intentional from JoJo to get a headline, I think and hope that it wasn’t the case.
“My issue is that she wasn’t aware of the ramifications for Kath.
“In this whole thing Kath has been collateral damage.”
Who is Abbie Chatfield?
ABBIE Chatfield has spoken out to defend best mate Kath Ebbs after they were dumped by Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa. Yet who is she?
- Abbie, 29, is an Australian-based influencer
- She is also no stranger to reality TV, having starred on the Aussie series of I’m A Celeb in 2021
- She has also appeared on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise series Down Under

- Abbie also told how she was outfit-shamed in a restaurant – before promptly getting her own back
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Australian content creator Kath, said they were in “complete shock” and felt “numbed out and humiliated” after being dumped by JoJo.
A day later, Kath was pictured for the first time since the split.
They had told how dancer JoJo had “fallen in love” with the Love Island alum during their time in the compound.
After posing a video all about their break-up, one fan of Kath’s commented on their clip to say: “Imagine watching your partner fall in love with someone else in real time. Cannot even begin to fathom that.”
Appearing to confirm that this is exactly how they were feeling, Kath, who identifies as non-binary, liked the comment in question.
It is the most telling sign yet that Kath has been negatively affected by JoJo’s bond with Chris.
The pair, who insisted their friendship is purely platonic, left viewers confused over their seemingly “flirty” behaviour, which saw JoJo and Chris secretly hold hands in the bedroom.
Chris then asked JoJo to lick his shorts in a move some found bizarre while he also stripped naked in front of the actress before heading for an off-camera chat.
Chris even offered to have JoJo’s babies in another shock remark.
It comes as a source previously told The Sun: “JoJo and Chris have been the talking point of the series, with the ‘will-they won’t-they’ narrative.
“Even if it’s purely platonic, as they claim, fans are convinced Kath must be furious about the endless physical contact, at least.”
OPENING UP
Yet now JoJo has clarified the pair’s relationship status – as well as when she will return back to home turf – in an interview on Monday’s This Morning.
Speaking about where Chris and JoJo go from here, regarding their “close” friendship, Chris said they have a “really strong bond” – calling it a “soulmate friendship”.
Chris said: “Our friendship, it’s hard to explain… it’s just a really strong bond between two people, it’s just a strong friendship.
“I think you can have a soulmate friendship, that’s the thing.
“To me, it’s that energy when it’s not the standard friendship you have with your friends, but it’s still a friendship, we are friends.
“It’s nice, I found it strange because it was such a strong friendship.
“Having someone in there to go through an experience like that and have someone there everyday when you’re emotional, when you’re happy… that was beautiful, that was genuinely an amazing thing.”
Ben then grilled the pair and asked if it was just “platonic” or if it could develop into something “romantic”.
JoJo laughed and said: “He’s a gorgeous boy, look, he’s a great guy, it is platonic, we have a lot of fun together.
“Life is life and I don’t know any future of anything but I’m really grateful for the dynamic that we have and the bond that we have.
“Whatever life does, life will do.”
