“We didn’t mean to hurt her feelings” — Glasgow Concertgoer Apologizes

Fan Breaks Silence After Being Kicked Out

October 6, 2025: A fan named Anjali, who was removed from JoJo Siwa’s concert on October 1 in Glasgow, has spoken out about the incident, explaining that she had no intention of offending the pop star. The concert stop was part of Siwa’s Infinity Heart Tour. According to Anjali, she and her friend created a custom hoodie featuring an image of Siwa photoshopped onto an egg — a meme tied to jokes made about the singer’s hairline over social media. The hoodie was meant as a lighthearted joke, not a taunt.

In a video posted to TikTok, Anjali expressed regret over the incident. “We didn’t look at the backstory behind it or know it would be a trigger for her,” she said. “None of it was with malicious intent.” She noted that they didn’t have official merch to wear and thought the meme would be funny, as similar jokes have been seen at other concerts.

Emotional Fallout and Staff Response

After being escorted from the venue, Anjali described feeling overwhelmed and on the verge of a panic attack. She attempted to engage with venue staff but felt ignored. Anjali said she called her mother while waiting outside, visibly shaken by the turn of events.

Siwa’s On-Stage Response

During the show, JoJo Siwa paused her performance to address the crowd after spotting the hoodie. She held it on stage and delivered a clear message: “You’re not going to come to my concert and bring a hoodie making fun of me … Not in my house, baby.” Siwa emphasized that she wanted her concerts to be safe, positive spaces for her fans, rejecting mockery and negativity on personal matters.

Divided Reactions Among Fans

The incident has sparked conversation across social media. Some people defended Siwa’s response, citing her past bullying over her hairline and the emotional impact ongoing ridicule can have. Others criticized her actions, arguing that fans often bring humorous tributes or memes to concerts and that the hoodie was not a hostile gesture.

Why the Hoodie Hit a Nerve

The specific meme used on the hoodie stems from past jokes about JoJo’s hairline — a sensitive topic she’s discussed publicly. In recent years, she has shared how comments and teasing affected her emotionally, making it clear that past jokes continue to carry weight for her.

Anjali maintains her apology is sincere and hopes the incident can serve as a moment of understanding, rather than division.
