Jessalyn openly shared on the specified social media site that she wasn’t taken aback by Rourke staying away, as she was aware he wouldn’t return home.

Jessalyn went on to say that Jojo managed the situation exceptionally well, and everyone who saw it commented on how gracefully her daughter carried herself.

She expressed that her daughter seems to continue with the same behavior, remarking, “Really? It’s almost like it’s tradition now. It’s turned into a game or a fashion. It’s become popular to dislike her, to bully her. … So now you’re telling her she won’t be a lesbian anymore? What will come next? Why don’t you just accept her for who she is?

Jessalyn disclosed that there were numerous comments expressing their fondness for her character on Dance Moms, particularly when she acted a certain way during the show.
