Joe Jonas Debunks Viral Booger Conspiracy Theories!

Joe Jonas, 36, shut down fan theories about a recent viral backstage video of him; Pictured performing in Inglewood, California on Saturday

BOOGER GATE: JOE JONAS SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON THAT VIRAL BACKSTAGE VIDEO

The drama that's been unfolding backstage at the Jonas Brothers' concerts has finally come to a head, and we've got all the juicy details for you! Over the weekend, a video of Joe Jonas (yes, that Joe Jonas) cleared out his nose offstage during a show in Los Angeles went viral, leaving fans wondering if he was high or just having a bad booger day.

But don't worry, guys, it's not as scandalous as it seems. According to sources close to the singer, Joe took to TikTok (where else?) to set the record straight: "Lol you never had a booger?" Ha! Burn, haters!

The hitmaker was performing with the Jonas Brothers in Los Angeles on Saturday night, and during a short break a fan captured him on video as he was clearing out his nose offstage

The video in question shows Joe checking his reflection, using his finger and later a black towel to pick at his nose – yes, it's as awkward as it sounds. But let's be real, we've all been there. And the best part? The comments section was HILARIOUS! Fans were having a field day, joking about the video and even referencing Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons (yes, really).

But not everyone was amused. Some fans took to Twitter to speculate that Joe might be doing more than just picking his nose – let's just say it wasn't exactly the most...ahem...PG-rated conversation.

However, it seems like Joe didn't let all the drama get to him. The next night, he hit the stage at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California with brothers Nick and Kevin Jonas as part of their Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour. And let's just say they were looking SHARP – especially Joe, who rocked a black tank top and studded black jeans.

But back to that booger video...while some fans were quick to defend Joe, others couldn't help but wonder if he was feeling under the weather before the show. And honestly, we wouldn't blame him for being a little distracted with all the drama going on backstage.

As it turns out, Joe's not alone in having to deal with this kind of scrutiny. On Penn Badgley's Podcrushed podcast (yes, that Penn Badgley!), Joe and his brothers opened up about their experiences as young artists trying to navigate the spotlight. They revealed that they were bombarded with invasive questions – including some pretty risqué ones – early on in their careers.

"It wasn't just us," Nick said. "It was a whole class of young people coming up." And we have to agree, it's refreshing to see the industry shift towards more respectful and considerate questioning.

After the video went viral, Joe wrote in a since-deleted comment on TikTok : 'Lol you never had a booger?'

But back to that booger video...in all seriousness, let this be a lesson to us all: even the most A-list celebrities are human beings too (d'oh!). So next time you're watching your favorite stars on stage, remember – they might just be having a bad day (or a booger-filled one).

The Jonas Brothers are set to perform next in Utah on September 13, so mark those calendars and get ready for some more of that sweet, sweet music. And who knows? Maybe Joe will even bring his nose-picking skills to the stage – but let's hope not!
