JoJo Siwa's Ovarian Cyst Scare: Performing Through the Pain

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

JoJo Siwa is still very much in recovery mode after a scary health scare that landed her in the emergency room just hours before her Black Friday performance at the Mall of America. According to HuffPost and AOL coverage of her own TikTok update, Siwa experienced excruciating stomach pain that got so bad she couldn’t breathe, started blacking out, and couldn’t even get dressed after a bath. Her mom called 911 and paramedics rushed her to the hospital where an ultrasound revealed a burst ovarian cyst bleeding into her abdomen. Doctors told her it should resolve on its own but she’s not fully in the clear yet, as she later clarified in a follow-up post reported by the New Zealand Herald. She credits strong pain medication with helping her feel good enough to dance in the hospital bed, and she joked that the medical team moved unusually fast—maybe because some of them had daughters going to her show.

Despite the pain, Siwa pushed through and performed at the Mall of America, showing her trademark resilience. She’s been open with fans, using TikTok to explain that knowing the diagnosis brought her peace of mind even though the physical recovery is ongoing. The Mayo Clinic notes that while most ovarian cysts are harmless, a rupture can cause significant internal bleeding, especially with vigorous activity, which may be relevant given her high-energy performances.

On the professional front, Siwa is staying active with live appearances. Eventbrite lists her upcoming event at Aspirations Dance Company in Lombard, Illinois on December 3, where she led a dance class to her new holiday song “Message to the World” and hosted a VIP meet and greet. This fits her pattern of blending fan engagement with performance, a strategy that’s helped build her brand beyond music and TV.

Socially, she’s still linked with British TV personality Chris Hughes, her Celebrity Big Brother co-star, with recent coverage from AOL noting their red carpet debut together at the Dancers Against Cancer Gala of the Stars. There’s no new official relationship update, but their public appearances together continue to fuel fan interest.
