Er no, she didn't "come out as a lesbian months ago". She has previously said she (going back several years) that she is attracted to both men and women. She's also said that she would appreciate if people would stop discussing her sexuality.

Both of these women became famous very young and their personal lives are out there for everyone to see and discuss, which must be very weird. JoJo Siwa put it out there herself, and I suspect she will come to regret that. I'm glad all the stupid mistakes I made when I was young won't live forever on the internet because there weren't people with smartphones taking pictures everywhere and social media back then.

In both cases, it's wrong to put some fake life on your children. I hope that she has made the right decision and not under confusion.
Hmm. It depends what you mean by "grew her up like a lesbian". If they just presented it as the default option then that's not really any different from what most children get (assumed to be straight, told stories about straight people, show straight characters on tv, meeting only straight people), just in reverse. I doubt they actually tried to MAKE her a lesbian. More likely they just let her know it was an option.
