JoJo Siwa has opened up about being a child star in Hollywood.
The 20-year-old former Nickelodeon star told Nova's Smallzy's Surgery on Thursday that she feels like she was 'taken advantage of as a kid'.
'I had shady deals and yes, I got f**ked over as a kid and taken advantage of as a kid but not in a sexual way, it was a business way,' she said.
'I think that to hear children's dark stories... that child stars were groomed or child stars were in some of the worst cases molested. I mean, it so sickening.
'But I do have to say that I really appreciate those child stars coming forward, being open about their stories, because that is stuff that I'm lucky that I didn't have to deal with. But it is still going on.'

JoJo rose to fame after joining the cast of Dance Moms in its fourth season at just nine years old.
However, she recently ditched her child-friendly image and unveiled a sneak peek of her latest track, Karma, in which she describes herself as a 'bad girl'.
'I was a bad girl, I did some bad things/I swear I did it all for fun and it meant nothing,' she crooned in the first verse.
