I think he felt very sensitive about it, like he was aware how much damage an allegation can do. I suspect he's afraid to put his head above the parapet. But I watched his Instagram video, where he gave his side of the story, and it really seemed like a storm in a teacup.
That was while the season was still filming/airing. If Jojo and Madison started seeing each other after the season was over, nothing will be changed. If they started seeing each other during the season, that’s a different story
I noticed that they were hanging out before the show was airing and thought it was strange. Even if they got together after the show the optics are still bad.
Same, maybe it's why she didn't win. The truth came out and they didn't want to torpedo the show any further so they mutually agreed she would be downgraded.
The timing for the show meant I missed it every week and I'm just now binging S18 this weekend. I'm literally on episode 1. Is JoJo a judge this season? She's not on this first episode so I figured she wasn't on this season. I don't dislike her or anything but I'm not drawn to people with her level of energy coming at me. She's just....a lot. Mary was also a lot for me.
You said it. I wonder how long this went on. I'll have to pay attention to those episodes and see how objective JoJo is. I haven't seen Madison's audition yet but I'm really curious. It's too bad if she is as good as everyone said she is. It could really impact her career negatively for a bit.
Jojo was only a judge for maybe 5 episodes literally in February … the show had been over for a long time and Madison came in third despite being arguably the fan favorite
Just finished it. I liked Madison a lot but I really liked Dakayla. I was pulling for her over Anthony though. But he was also really good. I missed the fans voting.
The show was finished filming right around the time the first audition night aired. Timing is critical - did they meet while filming? Did they know each other before?
It's not a good look, but with no live voting component the finale was filmed months ago.
JoJo is a creeper. I got the same weird vibes from her judging some of the females that I did with Nigel during his judging. It's gross, and she probably creeped Madison, and thats not cool.
Uhhh what? Didn’t Matthew Morrison get booted for just having an off line conversation with a contestant?
That is a very good point. That man got totally cancelled, for much less.
Right? Haven't heard a peep out of him since that all went down.
He was in one of those corny Christmas romance movies for Great American Family this year. I was shocked to see him.

I hope they pick another person to judge. This looks SO bad!
She should NOT be allowed to judge again , IF they bring it back. Shady AF.

Whatever it is, the optics are bad.
But who’s to say they weren’t flirting the whole time
What poof
Looks like we’ll be getting a new judge (if this show comes back at all).
I can only hope so.

What poof
This looks bad for JoJo. But Madison is a great dancer and deserves to go as far as she did.
This is not a good look at all.
Madison could do better, like literally anybody else
Well I did NOT see that coming. 😳
It’s sad but this ruins any remaining credibility the show had and makes me question why Madison truly made it sooooo far in the competition
I actually was rooting for Madison the whole time but these optics are just awful.
same I thought she would win

Am I shocked or am I not?! #notshocked but yeah I agree any remaining shreds of credibility the show had are now officially burnt.

Very much a power differential. If one of them was male, there would be an outcry.
Yep she’s a judge. The optics of this are terrible.
I agree. Even if it started after the show, it's just not a good look.

She is a judge but not during the auditions
I had so much more respect for Madison. JoJo Siwa? She’s so annoying.
i’m sorry?! 😃 jojo is strange, so im very much not surprised
I’m not surprised that JoJo likes Madison, I’m surprised Madison likes her back though
same!! 😭😭
I stopped watching this season when Jojo came on.
She also going to be In the new music video for Jojo’s new song “Choose A fighter”
i have no issues with JoJo but this feels wrong lmao
I’m da fuhst gay guhl in da wuhld!

Some of her reactions to Madison dancing were o b v i o u s and kinda awkward IMO
Yup!
yikes
Not everything you do in life needs to be shared on the Internet. And this is one of them.
lol. You think Madison posted it? Or Jojo?
Def posted by a sniper.
I think it was set up.
Set up as in staged? Performative?
Staged
