- [Bryan] JoJo
love it or hate it, your name comes up a lot when it comes to Dance
Moms in the media. One of the bigger stories was a headline involving
you and Cristi. - JoJo Siwa calls out
former Dance Moms co-star, Christi Lukasiak. - Okay, so I saw a video
of your mom went viral, of Cristi went viral, where she was saying
essentially that Gianna, who did all of the choreography,
was not a nice person, was not a good person. - And that to me, was
really hard to hear because she really was
a rock for us girls. I never like to
comment on things or get involved in things
that don't involve me. But this, I just have to say, this just came up
on For You page. And that is absolutely
the most disgusting and ignorant thing that
I have heard anybody say. First of all, Gia is one
of these sweetest people in the whole world. And second of all, she works
so hard every single week for so many people,
including Chloe. Of course, everyone
has their moments and everyone isn't nice 24/7,
including you, Christi. But the thing is, is
you don't need to say that somebody is
not a nice person. I'm sure you're a
very nice person, even though you
are not nice to me. You actually made a
very rude comment to me. But it may have
just been a moment. I would never say that
you're not a nice person just because our moment,
you were rude to me. It's just not what you do. I think I was upset then because I thought
that's something that Christi should have known, is just don't say bad
things about people online. I think if you put
something out on TikTok, you need to be prepared for people to have
an opinion on it. - It wasn't even online though. Like sure she shouldn't
be sharing it, but it's not like
she was going online, like, "Gia is a bad person." Somebody asked her a question when she was like in a
Zoom with some people she was giving
like, a speech to. - She knew she was on a Zoom. - She was stating her opinion,
which she's entitled to and like, it wasn't
supposed to be a big thing and it's not a big
thing, you know? Like I wouldn't sit
there and be like, that's absolutely crazy that
you have that opinion of Abby, because I know that's
your experience with her. - [JoJo] Right. - Everyone's entitled
to their own experience. - I met your mom twice and both times, she
was not nice to me. She just, she doesn't like me. We're not gonna be friends. - Do you regret
making that video? [tense music] - I don't regret
it 'cause I don't, I try not to regret anything. But would I word
it differently now? Possibly. - [Bryan] You guys had a lot
of amazing moments on stage, but you also had some
times that were rough and it landed you on the
bottom of the pyramid. Let's talk about that. - I used tell my mom,
I was like, "Look, people at the bottom of the
pyramid get more TV time." Your mom fights, you
cry, you run out. You know what I mean?
- Yeah. - I knew it wasn't about
our score at sheer talent. I just...
[laughing] - My placement and energy
didn't mean anything? [laughing] - Absolutely nothing. - [Bryan] So we're
gonna take a look at some of those moments. - Look at me
practicing back there. I still forget it. When I'm backstage,
I'm really nervous because I'm scared I'm gonna
forget my dance before I go on. ♪ It might be too
good to be true ♪ ♪ Baby, you might be too good ♪ Be too good to be true ♪ Baby, you might be - [Brooke] Look
how little you are! - [laughing] I tried. [dramatic music] - Paige.
- Ooh! - You're not winning and you're
not placing in the overalls. [gentle music] ♪ Another year, another season - Oh, you can just
see it in your face. Poor baby. ♪ Another story closes - Chloe, you're gonna
take a week off. ♪ We never got to say goodbye ♪ We never sat down and cried - Oh, she like, instantly knew.
- Yeah. [audience murmuring] - [crying] No, no, Abby's
gonna freak out on me. I wanna go again. - We have Maddie. Should you be at the
bottom of the pyramid because you ran off the stage? Yes, you should. - For me, I know
everyone was so excited whenever they were on the top
of the pyramid and got a solo, but I dreaded having a solo. - I know that forgetting a solo, I think we've all
forgotten a solo before, is like the worst feeling so it's hard to like
even come back from it if you do it once. But then if you don't have
any positive reinforcement on top of it to like,
help you get through it from the person that
is supposed to help you be able to get out
there and do it again, it makes it a little hard. - Yeah, and it was
just hard to like, build my confidence back up. - Honestly, watching
that first moment in your little pink
and blue outfit when you forgot that first solo, it was such a moment that it, like, it really
made you invested in you because you weren't
the front and center star top of the pyramid. You now became the
girl that we all loved and rooted for.
- And related to. - That's sweet. Paige needed to hear that. - All those hard times
make you who you are. - Yeah.
- Yeah. - And then now look
at you, you know? You can feel like, the
confidence radiate. - Yeah.
- She's a beauty girl. - Gorgeous.
- Thanks, guys. - So confident. And your heart is
even more beautiful. - I feel a lot
more confident now and it's like if I look back, I wanna tell my 10-year-old
self, it's okay. One day you're gonna
be beautiful, confident, and looking back, you're
not gonna care about dance. You're gonna be okay. - [Bryan] When
you all look back, do you feel like it was hard
to grow up under the spotlight in front of this
huge TV audience? - Yeah, I mean,
I think something that was really hard for
me growing up on the show, I was never like, maybe when I was a child
I had a dancer body. But as I started to
go through puberty, which is something
that I did on the show, my body definitely
changed first. We all know what a ballerina
is supposed to look like. - The stigma.
- And I just never fit that. And I could eat nothing
for the rest of my life. And it's like, I still just
can't get to that body type. And it's like something
that I still deal with, like to this day, - Confidence is the
most attractive trait that a woman can have. And like when I see you, you are the most confident
person that I know. - Know that you're hot. Know that you're--
- I know JoJo thinks I am. [laughing] - Actually there's
been something I've wanted to do all day today. Kalani Hilliker, I never
thought I would do this at a Dance Moms Reunion. [laughing] - It's like how my
mom got proposed. [Jess laughing] - Yes, she got proposed
at a Dance Moms' Reunion. - You did? Oh, yeah? - Do we have that clip? [audience cheering] [Kira laughing] - Will you marry me? - Yes.
[cheering] - [Bryan] So do
people think that there's something
going on with you guys? - Oh, dear Christ.
[Kalani yells] You're not my type. You're the furthest
thing from my type. [laughing] - I really thought I was
gonna be rich. I'm pissed. [all laughing] - [Bryan] Chloe,
let's talk about your journey with confidence. Right now, you actually seem like you're in a
really good place. - Yeah. - [Bryan] You actually
seem really happy with where you are. - I think when I
started college, it really started a
new chapter for me. You know, I was
realizing, I don't know, like I was just kind of paving
the way for my own life, I was no longer just like
defined by being on Dance Moms. I'm in, I was gonna
say, a new relationship. Three years later, it's
not a new relationship. But I'm in a relationship
with a woman, Brooklyn. We've been together
for three years. - Three years, that's crazy.
- That is a long time. - Y'all have survived
all the apocalypses. [laughing]
- Yeah. I feel like I really,
really, like, have this newfound confidence. I'm so sure of myself. Like I know who I am. - You should be proud
of yourself, yeah. - Thank you. - [Bryan] When you were
talking with me about having a girlfriend, I asked you
if everyone was okay with it. - Yeah.
- [Bryan] You know? And you said yeah,
everyone was great. And then your mom told me that she had a
difficult time with it, and that's something
that you didn't tell me. Said she struggled with it.
- Yeah. - [Bryan] And it was a
little bit of a rough time. - Yeah. [tense music] - We didn't know
anything about that. - I don't wanna talk about that. I'm not gonna talk about that. Christi don't. She don't want me, I'm not
gonna talk about that. - I think she was just
really worried for me. Like, the judgment I would face. But at the end of the
day, that's their issue. That's not mine. - Yep. - [Bryan] Chloe.
- Yeah. - [Bryan] Something
else you don't know, your mom wanted to
send you a message. - Aww.
- I'm already crying. It hasn't even started playing. - Hi, Chlo. I would never ever,
ever, ever have you be on a Dance Moms' Reunion without a message
from your mother. That little girl who is
always so timid and kind, you're still the
kindest person I know, but you're also the
strongest person I know. Like when you
announced to the world that you were with Brooklyn, that is just the most
admirable thing in the world. And I'm so proud and I'm very, very,
very, very excited for what the next chapter
for you looks like. So, [kisses] I'm sending
you all of my love, a pinky swear, a pinky
promise, and a kiss, and all of the above. And don't do anything
I wouldn't do. - Hey, that's our line, bitch. - All right. I love you. Bye. - [Bryan] Chloe,
is this a big deal to hear your mom say this? - Yep. She knew what kind
of world we live in. She's the kind of
person to change herself to make the world like her. That's who she used to be. I think she's really grown
into herself as a person now. But you know, it was
more important to me to just be happy and be
comfortable with who I am rather than like,
shoving all that down and regretting it way
later on in life, you know?
