The Fight with Abby that Ended Brooke and Paige’s Careers on Dance Moms
JoJo with a Bow Bow made a huge impact in just two seasons of the OG series after appearing on Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition. She gained a massive YouTube following, secured an exclusive licensing deal with Nickelodeon, released branded merchandise, and was named one of Time‘s 100 most influential people of 2020.
In an interview with Kelly Ripa, JoJo shared that one of the biggest lessons she learned from Dance Moms was to either sink or swim, metaphorically speaking. She emphasized the importance of survival and determination.
Today, JoJo is mingling with celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian. In 2021, she made history by partnering with Jenna Johnson as the first same-sex couple to compete on the U.S. version of Dancing With the Stars as an LGBTQ+ icon.
Looking ahead, JoJo revealed to Raven-Symoné and her wife, Miranda Pearman-Maday, that her ultimate dream is to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. Once she accomplishes this goal, she mentioned on an episode of The Best Podcast Ever in August, she plans to retire and start a family.
