Other ventures

In 2016, Siwa released a line of hair bows in a collaboration with fashion accessory and jewelry company Claire’s. The line of hair bows, which were inspired by the hairbows Siwa is known herself for wearing, experienced particular success among primary school pupils in the United Kingdom, where some schools took to banning them for a variety of reasons, including peer pressure, causing distraction from work, the impairment of pupils’ concentration, and violation of school dress policies. Due to the bows’ popularity, some stores also began selling similar bows. In 2017, Siwa commented that her bows were a “symbol of power, confidence, believing-ness.”

Siwa subsequently partnered with the American department store J. C. Penney to release a line of accessories, bedroom decor, and a doll made in her likeness, and has released several books aimed at young children.

In June 2019, the FDA issued a warning about dangerous levels of asbestos in a JoJo Siwa-branded cosmetics kit, prompting Claire’s to recall the product.

Siwa appeared as a playable character in the 2020 video game Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix, as well at its 2022 sequel Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway.

In January 2021, Spin Master created a card game called “JoJo’s Juice”, which contained questions about nudity and theft, despite being marketed toward children ages 6 and older. Siwa later apologized and claimed she was not involved in the game’s content development; the game was recalled from all toy store shelves.

When a fan then asked what her label was, Siwa added that she does not label her sexuality, as she “doesn’t really know this answer”. She later stated “Technically I would say that I am pansexual, because that’s how I have always been my whole life is just like, my human is my human.” In the same interview, Siwa mentioned that she also uses the terms “gay” and “queer”. She has since confirmed that she is not attracted to men.
