Where is joanna levesque now

In between her first and second albums, JoJo had started to act in a few movies, but as she explained to Uproxx, her label didn't like that. They went as far as to "send men to my film and television agent's office to intimidate him," she said. Her mum who was her manager was getting so frustrated with the label that JoJo decided to let her go because she was worried "it would kill her".

To her fans, it looked like JoJo had disappeared, but she was actually still making music. It just wasn't going anywhere. It was so incredibly upsetting. I really wanted to put something out," she said. She started to wonder if the reason the label wasn't releasing her music had something to do with the way she looked. She was placed with a nutritionist who put her on a calorie a day diet and gave her injections to suppress her appetite. JoJo went along with it because she thought maybe if she was skinny enough they'd finally release her third album.

I started drinking, making out with strangers, looking for validation in attention, looking to feel pretty, looking to feel good, looking to feel worthy," said JoJo. She remembers needing to feel "buzzed" to be okay. Speaking to People magazine, JoJo said she'd drink to the point of blacking out because she was "feeling overwhelmed and found myself wanting to get out of my mind because I was so scared and so sad".

JoJo's father was an opioid addict and died from his addiction. It was his death that eventually pulled her back from the edge as she realised she did not want to end up dead.

Her dad had once told her when she was younger "addiction is like Arnold Schwarzenegger pumping iron in your backyard just waiting for you". She never forgot his words, and even as a kid remembers thinking, "I don't accept that just because this is in my DNA that this has to be in my future. At 18 years old, JoJo was diagnosed with clinical depression and has been taking antidepressants and going to therapy ever since. She didn't feel any shame seeking help, because of the mental health issues she'd witnessed in her family.

But Blackground asked for the case to be dismissed and were planning to "bleed her dry" until she gave up. Her family kept telling her to give up and go to college and try something else outside of the industry. But music was JoJo's only dream - it was all she wanted for her future. While her lawsuit raged on, she wasn't allowed to make money from music, so she started releasing mixtapes instead.

She didn't get any money from them, but they allowed her to tour something her label didn't have control over so she finally got the chance to reconnect with her fans.
