What happened between Jojo Siwa and Christi Lukasiak? 'Dance Moms: The Reunion' star calls out 'Epic Showdowns' host
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: During the 'Dance Moms: The Reunion', Jojo Siwa discussed the incident when she confronted Christi Lukasiak, the mother of fellow dancer Chloe Lukasiak, over a rude comment she made about dance choreographer Gianna Martello.
Discussing the matter, Jojo Siwa said, "Okay so I saw a video of your mom went viral where she was saying essentially that Gianna who did all the choreography was not a nice person, was not a good person."
During a Zoom call, Christi was asked, "Do you guys ever talk to Gianna," she responded, "She is not actually that nice." Jojo added, "And that to me was very hard to hear because she really was a rock for us girls."
At that point, the 'Dancing With The Stars' alum addressed the whole issue in a video, stating, "I never like to comment on things or get involved in things that don't involve me but this I just have to say, this just came up on For You page and that is absolutely the most disgusting and ignorant thing I have heard anyone say."
Jojo continued, "First of all, Gia is one of the sweetest people in the whole world and second of all, she works so hard every single week for so many people including Chloe. Of course, everyone has their moments and everyone isn't nice 24/7, including you Christi. But the thing is you don't need to say that somebody is not a nice person."
Jojo added, "I'm sure you are a very nice person even though you are not nice to me. You actually made a very rude comment to me but it may just have been a moment. It's just not what you do." She further commented, "I thought that's something that Christi should have known is just don't say bad things about people online."
