Chris Hughes Defends Friendship with JoJo Siwa Amid Accusations on CBB Finale

The Celebrity Big Brother finale was marked by controversy surrounding Chris Hughes' close friendship with JoJo Siwa, with several housemates questioning his motives. Danny Beard and Ella Rae Wise both suggested that Chris may have befriended JoJo for personal gain, particularly to boost his social media following, a claim that Chris dismissed as a joke. Ella repeatedly accused Chris of being a 'game player' and suggested he could 'benefit' from the friendship, leading to ongoing clashes between the two during the series and on the Late and Live post-show. Chris defended himself, stating that he naturally bonded with JoJo because she made him feel happy and at home in the house, insisting their relationship was genuine. Other housemates, like Chesney Hawkes, supported Chris and refuted claims of opportunism, while online fans were divided over the nature of Chris and JoJo’s friendship. Despite the drama, Chris maintained that his connection with JoJo was authentic and would continue to grow outside the show.
