"I’m shooken" — JoJo Siwa reacts to being tricked into thinking her identity had been stolen as part of a prank
JoJo Siwa, the renowned pop star and television personality, recently found herself at the center of a humorous prank that left her genuinely shaken. On October 18, 2024, JoJo was pranked in an exclusive episode of Punk You, a prank show.
According to reports from E! News, JoJo was led to believe that her identity had been stolen, prompting her to react with disbelief and surprise. While discussing the situation with her mother, Jessalynn Siwa, during a phone call, JoJo candidly expressed that she was "shooken" by the entire experience:
"I'm shooken. Because, like, what the f**k is happening right now?" JoJo said.
Punk You is a brand-new digital prank series developed by the original creator of Punk'd. Joelle Joanie "JoJo" Siwa is an American singer, dancer, and actress. She rose to prominence by appearing as a reality TV star on Lifetime's Dance Moms and Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition.
JoJo Siwa's surprising response to identity theft prank
On Friday, an exclusive preview clip obtained by E! News featured JoJo Siwa in a car when FBI secret agents unexpectedly pulled her over. Upon realizing that a secret agent had stopped her, JoJo asked her driver if the doors were locked.
In the clip, JoJo wore a white Gucci T-shirt paired with pants and a red checkered jacket tied around her waist. Her hair was styled in a Dutch braid adorned with two red bows, and she had dramatic red eyeliner on her eyes. The Dance Moms star was pranked into believing she was involved in wire fraud, bank fraud, and credit card fraud. Upon hearing this, JoJo was left stunned.
In the clip, the agent asks JoJo for her full name, to which she responds, "Joelle Joanie Siwa." The scene then transitions to JoJo sitting in a car, informing her mother that her identity may have been stolen or that she could be using someone else's identity.
"Someone's using my identity, or I'm using someone's identity, which obviously not happening. They said they pulled over somebody to bring them up here," JoJo said.
JoJo Siwa revealed to her mother, Jessalynn Siwa, that she was taken to the top of a parking structure as part of the prank, of which Jessalynn was already aware.
"I got pulled over by the FBI. They brought us up to the rooftop of a parking structure, and apparently somebody is stealing my identity," JoJo told her mother.
During the preview clip, Jessalynn Siwa revealed that JoJo had sent her a text message containing the code word "Beyoncé." This revelation indicated that JoJo was unaware of the prank on her.
The preview clip concluded with a woman named Joelle Joanie Siwa appearing on the roof, sitting opposite JoJo Siwa. The woman, claiming to be Joelle Joanie Siwa, suggested that JoJo had stolen her identity, a claim that JoJo vehemently denied.
According to E! News, the full episode of the prank on JoJo Siwa will be released on Saturday, October 19, 2024, on the YouTube channel We Punk You. JoJo has not yet spoken about the prank preview clip.
Moreover, on October 10, 2024, We Punk You posted a prank involving Sexyy Red, featuring a demonic ghost, as the prank platform noted that the artist fears ghosts.
