JoJo Siwa's ex Kath Ebbs wants to "heal in peace"

In a series of posts on her Instagram Story, she wrote: "Last month was mental health month and this month is pride...

"I wish people would put themselves in someone else's shoes for a moment before indulging in this kind of online toxicity.

"Better yet to a person that literally did nothing wrong. I'm so sick of being gaslight over and over again by said people and the public. It needs to stop.

"You don't need to choose sides, instead you could do me the courtesy of letting me in heal in peace."

Kath, 27, urged their critics to "be obsessed with those that are screaming for attention", while pointing out they have "never asked for any of this".

They wrote: "People constantly troll me and telling me to 'get over it' whilst simultaneously not getting over it themselves.

"Go be obsessed with those that are screaming for the attention, they love it and they are build for it.

"I'm not and never asked for any of this. My only crime was being in a committed loving relationship and then humiliated on a world stage. How does that make me a horrible person?"

Kath said they are trying to "weather the storm", while insisting they don't owe anyone an explanation from their point of view.

They continued: 'I've been working so hard to hold my own everyday through this.

"Using the tools I have to weather the storm, stay sane and sit knowing I don't need to share the truth of it with the world because those that actually matter in REAL life know exactly what happened and that should be all that matters to me."

Kath was in a relationship with JoJo when she entered the house, but their relationship ended at the 'Celebrity Big Brother' wrap party.

Asked if their bond is platonic or romantic, JoJo paused for some time before she told The Guardian newspaper this week: "It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way."

JoJo dismissed speculation her relationship with Chris is a "PR stunt".

She said: "Clearly, you've never been around us. I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never [before] been in pain from smiling so much."
