Joe Jonas is out here reminding us that even global pop stars have cringe-worthy moments they’d rather forget. The 35-year-old Jonas Brothers heartthrob took to TikTok on Friday (January 3) to roast himself—and his brothers Nick and Kevin—for their infamous purity ring era. Yes, the accessory that screamed, “No funny business until marriage, y’all.”
For those blissfully unaware of this sparkling gem of abstinence, a purity ring is essentially the jewelry equivalent of shouting, “I’m saving myself!” Joe, Nick, and Kevin were the poster boys for this trend back in the day, alongside other young Hollywood stars who took “bling” to mean something… holier.
But Joe, older, wiser, and clearly armed with top-tier meme energy, decided to revisit this chapter of his life with a dollop of self-deprecating humor.
In the now-viral TikTok, Joe strutted down the street looking like a man burdened by deeply haunting memories. The caption? Oh, just a casual jab: “When someone’s complaining to me but they never had to wear a piece of jewelry that let everybody know they’re a virgin.”
To add to the comedy gold, Joe synced the clip to an audio track that declared, “I don’t even think you really know what a bad day is.” Ouch. Someone call the Burn Unit because those purity rings just got roasted.
And if that wasn’t enough, Joe dropped the mic (or, in this case, the caption) with a cheeky, “Triggered by accessories.” Same, Joe. Same. 💍🔥
