Jojo Siwa recently announced plans to increase her personal security after her Los Angeles home was swatted for the second time. The young star, who has faced considerable public scrutiny and memes during her transition from child star to adult artist, experienced heightened attention following the release of her single "Karma" in April. In interviews, Siwa has been candid about the mixed reactions to her music and public persona, expressing a desire to provoke discussion and grab attention regardless of whether it's positive or negative. However, this increased visibility has also come with downsides, as she revealed in a recent interview with E! News on July 15th, recounting the unsettling incident of arriving home to find police outside due to a false emergency call. Reflecting on the incident, Siwa acknowledged the need to prioritize her safety more seriously now, acknowledging the changes in her life and security needs since gaining more prominence.

00:00JoJo Siwa just revealed she will be raising her personal security level after her Los
00:05Angeles residence was swatted for the second time.
00:09JoJo Siwa has been the subject of intense public ridicule and memes due to her drastic
00:15child star to adult rebrand, which reached its peak, at least so far, around April of
00:20this year with the release of her single, Karma.
00:23Fans poked fun at Siwa's sometimes bizarre choreography and odd comments in multiple
00:28interviews.
00:29In an interview with Good Morning America on April 29th, Siwa commented on the hate
00:34she's received, sharing,
00:35"...my goal with Karma was, I didn't care if people liked it.
00:38I didn't care if people hated it.
00:40I wanted people to turn their head at it.
00:42I wanted people to talk about it."
00:44And while Siwa has achieved her goal of gaining more media attention, there's definitely
00:48a negative side to it, as she shared with E! News in an interview on July 15th, stating,
00:54Okay, I guess we'll get really right into it.
00:57I got swatted two nights ago.
00:59I haven't told anybody about this yet, but basically, I showed up to my house, there
01:03was four police cars outside.
01:05The star then elaborated on her plans to up her security detail with her rising level
01:10of fame, sharing,
01:11"...the police asked me, he was like, why do you not have security with you in this
01:14moment?
01:15And I was like, cause I haven't needed it yet.
01:18But now, I do really need it every day with me.
01:21So it definitely has changed in the last month, two months, three months, I guess, since Karma
01:25came out.
01:26It's been fun, to say the least.
