JoJo Siwa Reacts to ‘Saturday Night Live’ Star Chloe Fineman’s Parody

It solely took a whole month, however Saturday Night time Reside has lastly jumped on the JoJo Siwa rebrand prepare. Throughout this weekend’s Dua Lipa-hosted episode, solid member Chloe Fineman reworked into the previous baby star for an look on Weekend Replace, the place she declared: “I’m the primary homosexual woman on this planet.”

Fineman wore an in depth recreation of Siwa’s glittering black outfit from the “Karma” music video and spent practically 4 full minutes parodying the 20-year-old’s good woman gone unhealthy transformation. Siwa reposted the skit on Instagram Tales, writing: “ICONIC. I actually don’t know what to say that is fucking loopy. 3 and a half minute skit on SNL.”

I needed this primary grownup breakout second to make folks’s heads flip.”
