Fletcher Under Fire: 'JoJo Siwa 2.0' Backlash During Pride Month

Fletcher is facing backlash from fans after announcing her new album and debuting a song about falling in love with a man at the start of Pride Month. The 31-year-old singer - whose full name is Cari Fletcher - rose to fame for her queer anthems

SCANDAL ROCKS QUEER POP WORLD: FLETCHER FACES BACKLASH OVER NEW SONG AND SHOCKING ROMANTIC REVELATIONS

In a bombshell move, singer-songwriter Cari Fletcher has ignited controversy with her latest single "Boy" from her upcoming album "Would You Still Love Me If You Really Knew Me?", out on July 18. The song's release during Pride Month has sparked outrage among her devoted fan base, who are reeling from the news that the 31-year-old pop star is now in a relationship with a man.

Fletcher rose to fame with her raw, unapologetic break-up anthems about her past queer relationships, including the hit song "Becky's So Hot", which chronicled her romance with content creator Shannon Beveridge. However, fans are accusing her of "betraying" their trust by shifting her focus from lesbian love to heteronormative romance.

Fletcher recently released the new single Boy, from her upcoming album Would You Still Love Me If You Really Knew Me? out July 18. While Fletcher says the song reflects a moment of unexpected personal growth, many are fuming, claiming she changed her entire image

The timing of the single's release has been deemed "crazy" by many, as it coincides with Pride Month celebrations worldwide. Fletcher's lyrics in "Boy" are unapologetic, boasting about kissing a male partner and leaving fans feeling blindsided. Social media is ablaze with furious comments, with one user sharing a video of the song, accompanied by scathing remarks.

"I don't care that she's dating a man; I'm happy for her," wrote a commenter on Twitter. "But making your whole career centered around liking women and then being like 'being a lesbian was just a phase?' Yeah, that's some problematic stuff right there."

Another user quipped: "It's giving JoJo Siwa" – referencing the 22-year-old pop star who recently stunned her fans by announcing her relationship with former Love Island contestant Chris Hughes after previously exclusively dating women and identifying as a lesbian.

On social media, listeners have called the timing of the song's release 'crazy' and argued she could have waited for another month to release the song

The parallels between Fletcher and Siwa are striking, with both artists facing criticism for their sudden shifts in romantic allegiance. "She had any other month to release this but doing it during the first week of Pride Month is a grab and a bad one at that," another frustrated fan wrote on social media.

While some fans have come out in support of Fletcher, arguing that she never claimed to be exclusively queer and that her music has always been about self-expression, others are unconvinced. Many are questioning why the singer chose to release this song during Pride Month, when it could have waited until August.

However, internet sleuths have uncovered a more sinister thread to the controversy – Cari Fletcher's alleged connection to The Modern Mystery School (MMS), a wellness organization linked to Miley Cyrus and Shawn Mendes. Insiders claim that Fletcher is dating Jagwar Twin (real name Brandon Roy Wronski), who has ties to this enigmatic group.

The mission statement of MMS reads like a recipe for cult-like behavior: "The Modern Mystery School is in service to all of humanity to assist in the ascension of the human consciousness on this planet. This is a mission the school and its lineage holders have been working towards for over 3,000 years." The group's goals are lofty, but critics argue that their methods can be manipulative.

Fletcher has denied any involvement with MMS, stating that she took introductory classes out of curiosity but ultimately distanced herself from the organization after discovering their anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. "I do not support, subscribe or condone any mission or rhetoric that is anti-LGBTQ+ in any form, spiritually, politically or otherwise," she tweeted.

Thescholarlynote.com has reached out to Fletcher for comment, but as of now, the singer remains tight-lipped about her involvement with MMS and her new relationship.

As controversy rages on, fans are taking to Reddit to express their opinions. While some defend Fletcher's right to love whoever she chooses, others argue that she has crossed a line by profiting from her queer image while secretly dating men.

Whatever the truth may be, one thing is certain – Cari Fletcher's reputation as a champion of LGBTQ+ rights has been left in tatters, leaving fans and critics alike to question her motivations and artistic vision.
