January 21Jan 21 These videos are so insightful. I love how eloquently Jade speaks about the whole situation and how much she gives in such little time. Definitely makes the situation seem more human. It kind of makes me frustrated that they didn't talk about it as a group before going on hiatus.
January 21Jan 21 Yeah I wish Jesy dealt with it better and had a proper conversation with them. But I remember Jesy saying she was hospitalised when she disappeared from the Confetti album promo because she was in a really dark place and after leaving hospital she decided to leave. She probably wasn’t in the right mindset but yeah she dealt with it very bad. I really hope they can be friends one day.
January 21Jan 21 I don’t know why but the communication (or lack thereof) element and the question about releasing music straight away is making me think of H & Claire Sky One reunion show please where Jade turns to Jesy and asks ‘did you really hate us?’
January 21Jan 21 I can sympathise with Jesy to some degree and understandably she had to deal with a lot. However, I just can’t get my head around why she couldn’t have even sent a message to them or could sit down and talk about it with them after she felt a little better? I can’t help but think she burnt bridges when she came out with her solo single after blindsiding them like that. Jade, Perrie and Leigh are very conscious of when others release music and change dates etc because they’d never want to take away each others shine so I do feel Jesy decided she would get ahead of the game (or advised by management / PR) obviously it backfired massively so I really wonder whether she regrets it all now and wished she had spoken to them?!?
January 21Jan 21 I agree she should have just spoken to them properly. However, I guess idk what it felt like for her and the whole dynamic at the time and with her feeling disliked/unwanted by their team. Must have been awkward for the girls to get on with their team and Jesy not, constantly in the middle. I bet she does regret it all and is too embarrassed about how she dealt with it all to reach out. I really hope hearing what Perrie/Jade have said and being pregnant will lead her closer to reaching out to them 3 and taking accountability for her part. Edited January 21Jan 21 by Slayer

I really hope hearing what Perrie/Jade have said and being pregnant will lead her closer to reaching out to them 3 and taking accountability for her part. I’m sure she’s just made big mistakes from not thinking clearly I don’t think it was ever done with malice. I still hope one day they can all meet up behind the scenes and at the very least have a little hug and a heart to heart and move on even if that doesn’t come to anything at least there’s a more positive ending. I guess we’ll have to continue to wait and see how it pans out.
May 16May 16 I think Jesy is scared to reach out and probably Perrie is too based on what she said previously about not being sure whether to.This is probably the last thing on Jesy’s mind as she’s been in hospital for 3 months but I hope to god they are friends again one day. I’d rather them be genuine friends again more than being a four piece (even though that’s what I’d love). Edited May 16May 16 by Slayer
August 16Aug 16 Jade’s latest interview which mentions her still being protective over Jesy.For the first time our conversation stalls. Was it painful to realise that their friendship couldn’t survive Nelson leaving the group? “It was incredibly painful. For all of us that was the worst part, and it’s taken a lot of understanding and therapy and all those things to work out how that can happen when you’ve devoted so much time and love to someone. My biggest wish for that whole period is that it was handled differently. I just would’ve loved us to all sit and chat about it.“We absolutely adored Jesy like family – it wasn’t just work,” she continues. “We all wanted to protect her, because we understood that trauma there and what she’d been through. I think we handled it as best as we could. All of a sudden we were a member short in the middle of album promo, with everyone asking what was going on. Obviously we don’t speak any more, and things happened that I don’t think should have, but I still do feel an element of protection towards Jesy. Nobody fully understands how complex the whole thing was – it wasn’t just a case of someone wanting to leave. Numerous things built up in the last year and in the back of my mind I knew it was going to happen. I’d just like for it to have happened in a … better way.”Source: The Guardian
