Contestant JoJo Siwa discloses alarming "stalker bomb" incident to Celebrity Big Brother audience
Viewers were taken aback as JoJo Siwa revealed her horrifying stalker ordeal on last night's Celebrity Big Brother.
During the episode, comedian Donna Preston played a delivery driver, tasking celebrities with various mail deliveries that included strange and unexpected items.
This led to Danny Beard and Chris Hughes being tied together, Jack P. Shepherd getting a fragile wine bottle, and JoJo having to consume a can of Spam.
In a chat with Big Brother after the task, the 21-year-old dance sensation was asked about the most peculiar thing she had ever received in the mail.
Her response left everyone stunned.
"The weirdest thing I've ever had delivered to me before? A bomb," she stated[1].
She recalled being tormented by a menacing stalker who sent her sex toys, knives, and the deadly explosive device[2].
This reckless individual was eventually jailed for five years following the shocking incident[2].
To make matters even more harrowing, JoJo revealed that she was only 12 years old when her home was targeted[2].
"He got out of prison when I was 17," she said[2].
Fortunately, JoJo now has a strong support system in place to protect her from such threats[2].
Still, the incident left an indelible mark on her life.
Interestingly, one of the bright spots in her life came in the form of an annual Christmas card from legendary singer Sir Elton John[3].**
Viewers sympathized with JoJo's ordeal and took to social media to express their shock and concern.
"People were so mean to Jojo when she was 12/13 for being cringe and here she is casually mentioning that someone tried to BOMB HER HOUSE and sent her knives??? I'm so sorry that people were so cruel to a literal child," wrote @amberstrology.
"things like this just make feel bad for jojo because being brought up as a kid in the spotlight would definitely be a very unusual experience. being sent a bomb and sex toys as a 12 year old is disgusting and traumatic," added @idk44455177.

"JoJo Siwa being sent an actual bomb in the post is not what I expected to hear. Actually insane," posted @dddanadine, adding that "it genuinely shocked me just how twisted people can be."
