Jessalyn further continued that Jojo handled that situation greatly and that every individual told her that her daughter “handled herself so well.” She added that it does not make that fine or correct, but she was “lucky” that Jojo could handle herself and that she was “OK.”

It’s a trend to not like her, to hate her (and) make fun of her. … Now tell her ‘You’ll make her not a lesbian.’ What’s next? Why don’t you just take her for face value?”
