Jojo Siwa said she wants a romantic scene from her upcoming film removed because it shows her kissing a man.

The 18-year-old Nickelodeon star spoke to Entertainment Weekly for its Pride digital cover and discussed publicly coming out as part of the LGBTQ community earlier this year and her upcoming movie, "Bounce."

Siwa said she doesn't want footage of her kissing someone else in the film, especially because the scene is with a man

Siwa spoke to Entertainment Weekly about wanting to get a romantic scene pulled from the final cut of the film, an adaptation of the book "Bounce" by Megan Shull.

She said that she filmed a scene where her character kisses a man, but she's working on having it removed from the movie. Siwa said her girlfriend, Kylie Prew, is OK with the scene.

"I'm madly in love and I do not want to kiss another human," she told EW. "Especially because it's a man."

The actress said she's concerned that viewers may find it hard to separate her from the character and could view the moment as "Jojo Siwa kissing someone" instead of her just doing her job, which she said could "be a little weird."

This is Siwa's first major role since she came out as a member of the LGBTQ community earlier this year

Siwa has been on-screen throughout the past decade, and her role in "Bounce," produced by Will Smith, will be her first big part since she came out as a member of the LGBTQ community.

She's said that while she may be "technically" be pansexual she is not yet labeling herself.

Fans had begun speculating about her sexuality in January after she posted a video of her singing along to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" and then shared a picture wearing a shirt that read "Best Gay Cousin Ever."

In February, Siwa went public with her relationship with Prew with a sweet Instagram post on their one-month anniversary. The two started out as friends.
