But it would take publicity away from the release if they announced her departure at this point, not to mention the spotlight from their TV show winners, so from their point of view I definitely do see why they wouldn’t announce Jesy’s departure at this time if she had decided to leave.

 

Again though, we don’t even know that Jesy’s absence is MH related and everything is an assumption - she’s had struggles before sure but it’s not to say that something else has happened!

I think people would be more interested in buying the last album as a 4 piece - I don't think people would return the album (she'll still make money from it afterall).

 

 

not just fans, i’m talking mum’s + dad’s who may have bought it for their child for christmas etc. there’s a whole take on “might as well not bother now”. it’s just all speculative though isn’t it.

 

the most important thing is that she’s well, regardless of what she decides.

I might’ve known it would be one of those “a source explained” type rumours. Who are these sources exactly. :lol: :lol: :lol:

It was an example of the drama being created in the media.

I don’t think for a single minute they’ve split up, and I hope not. They need another uk #1 album!!

Doubt they’d be actively promoting if they had.

Eh? Are you saying people are going to return an album and 'not bother' listening to it because a member left?

 

Do people do that? Did everyone return their albums when Zayn left 1D and Geri left Spice Girls? Do people just stop enjoying the music and think it's 'not worth bothering for' unless the artists are still in contract to their labels?

 

WTF? :lol:

Really hope Jesy takes the time she needs and comes back to the band stronger - I hate when twats like the Sun try to make it something it is not (they are all going solo/they are splitting up etc)

i don’t remember suggesting that everyone would return their album.

 

i was talking about why the label/ the group may not want it to come out if she has left - purely speculative. thinking outside the fandom who have their own money, a large portion of their fans are younger people who don’t buy the albums, tickets, merch themselves. parents or relatives buying the cd for the child for christmas, or thinking about buying tickets for the tour, may think twice about buying it if jesy’s their favourite + her presence in the band going forward is up in the air.

 

but again - we don’t know anything other than her having some time off so hopefully she’s getting the help she needs + feels better.

One thing I will say, is that if, as I expect they don't even mention her on Jon Ross. That's odd. Like I don't need an explanation but its weird not to say "jesys not here at the moment", or "Jesy is having some time away". I think pretending they're a 3-piece is odd. Thankfully, she's all over the NTFT artwork.

I think they may mention her on JR - well, I hope they do

It says in the interview press release they don't, but we'll see.

Ah

Tbf I'd rather they didn't atm. Jesy probably asked for complete privacy and just mentioning it will open it up more and people will analyse how they said it etc.. it's already happened with everyone comparing it to "Get Well Geri"..

People are going to analyse the fact that they don’t mention her at all even more though surely?

 

I actually think that the whole silence around the topic is making it the elephant in the room and more of a talking point, the way they’re handling it is strange. Of course Jesy deserves privacy etc but she can still have that whilst acknowledging that she isn’t there at the moment particularly in an interview setting when all they have to say is that she’s taking time off as per their original statement - no questions asked etc.

 

I think given that Jesy of all the girls has been an open book and has opened up about her struggles etc just seems jarring with the silence that is present - again I’m not suggesting we get the ins and outs or even a reason as to what is going on, but am not acknowledging it is definitely partly why the rumour mill is in overdrive.

 

(I’ll say again, I’m not expecting Jesy’s reasons to be made public and appreciate and respect her entitlement to privacy, I’m referring to reiterating what they’ve already told us to a wider audience)

I think they probably will say things at some point but I understand why, a week after they make a statement that specifically says they will not be saying anything else on the matter, they aren’t going to address it on Jonathan Ross.

 

I think the statement they posted managed to get the word out well enough. I also think it’s probably not easy for the girls to talk about either and so if they don’t want to, I get it.

Are they going to continue as a 3-piece or go on a hiatus? I don't think I've managed to establish that from everything I've been reading about it.
