SHE HIT 100,000 SIGNATURES!!

Incredible, this will officially be debated in Parliament. The video she posted made even happier! You can see how much this means to her.

“I cannot actually put into words how grateful I am that this moment has just happened right here! And it is all thanks to you guys. Thank you to every single person that took time out of their day to sign this petition. You have no idea how much this means to me and the SMA community. This is the first hurdle but we bloody did it and I truly believe that together we are going to make change!“

    I'm trying to reserve judgement but it's definitely going to be 'Jesy the victim' again, she's had 4+ years to say why she left Little Mix and a fair few interviews after but she's basically explainin

    I will give her huge credit for her work on raising awareness of SMA and her struggles with the pregnancy and issues surrounding that. Zion came across really well in the docu too - it’s a shame it d

I watched the whole series tonight and I genuinely think it’s obvious Jesy just isn’t made for the music industry like she said.

Also, I think fans tend to paint her as the villain because they like things to be clear cut but while it’s not an excuse for her poor behaviour, this is a woman who tried to take her own life at the height of all the goings on just prior to leaving. I can’t help feeling that people like to romanticise mental illness and performatively ‘advocate’ for mental health without really appreciating or understanding just how ugly it is. People suffering from it aren’t ’perfect’ victims and while she didn’t go into any details, she did intimate that she has learned a lot from that period in her life.

On another note, I really hope she and Zion can get their happy ever after because you can just tell that he worships the ground she walks on.

I know it's dramatized and aimed at the general public who don't follow the charts but I was annoyed at the narrative being that post-Wings they were 'flopping'. Like, they cut to Change Your Life/How Ya Doin/Little Me being at the bottom of the top 40 and it's like....that's not their peak position? Their first two albums literally went Platinum, Wings and Move went Platinum, they had an arena tour and the other singles all were Gold/Platinum too. Plus they literally had the two albums go top ten in the USA ffs.

NUMBER 1 IN THE UK most watched TV series! Deserved, despite some flaws I think it's a great documentary that definitely highlights numerous factors around being a popstar / the media / effect trolling has and of course TTS & SMA.

So happy for her! Saving lives and raising awareness.

She’s super grateful in a voice note she posted on her broadcast channel:

Yeah I agree but I remember the girls kept saying they were going to be dropped because of these positions? I think that might be why it was shown that way - showing how cut throat labels were?

I think part of the trouble when it comes to mental health is its almost glamourised having it nowadays and too many people use it as a badge of honor and use it as an excuse in situations that dont warrant it ,

so the ones that truly truly struggle find that they cant talk about it For fear of being judged and talked about even more, its almost like a vicious cycle in itself

I don’t think we should pretend that the girls are best friends again. Jesy hurt them really badly, and has continued to hurt them with the documentary, portraying it as THEIR fault for her suicide attempt while staying quiet on all fronts for the live she done with MAGA Minaj. Utter scum.

WOW! That's a bit far she was hardly going to show that live in her documentary was she? Can you imagine the abuse / trolling that would of come out of that. Nicki Minaj isn't exactly easy to deal with, I still think while Jesy should of said something her laughing was clearly an awkward laugh like she wanted the ground to swallow her up. She didn't blame the girls for the suicide attempt at all she literally said 'The girls might see it differently or have a different version of events but this is how I felt. Let's be honest the girls had dealt with her being unhappy for YEARS there comes a point when it's too much and they probably do wish they'd maybe done more at that point as Jesy said she also wishes her lawyer hadn't contacted the management first (Typical Lawyers though getting in their first).

I was the first to call out Jesy but I think we need to remember her mental health was on the floor, you can see in those clips she spent alot of the time crying even in the early stages. No one's perfect!

She at all times said the girls mean alot to her and they were the best of friends, she never once slagged them off but simply said SHE FELT they weren't there for her at the end.

Can we not forget she's doing incredible things raising awareness for TTS and SMA and is going through a hell of alot, she's had two suicide attempts and you're calling her scum simply for giving her version of events.

I still think while she did portray the girls as not caring at the end and did throw them under the bus a little, I really don't think that came from a negative place as quite obviously it's been 5 years now and ALL THE GIRLS have reached out to her during her pregnancy and she said on This Morning it was very healing for her and I'm sure the other girls having that communication.

I got the timeline mixed up and thought that this documentary was about SMA and then realised by the last episode that they hadn't been diagnosed with it at point of filming. It did seem very slow and....pointless at times. There was alot of fluff about her Mum's past and endless home footage of Jesy as a kid and random conversations with her friends then it would jump back and forth from pregnancy stuff to Little Mix stuff.

It's a weird one as she's been doing alot of press about SMA but most of the casual viewers who saw her on This Morning probably went into this documentary expecting more of the pregnancy stuff to be covered and I don't know if many people besides Little Mix stans would find most of it interesting. I'm a huge LM fan and even I thought most of it was basically the same stuff we already saw in Odd One Out. The pregnancy stuff was more interesting for me but when you realise there's nothing about SMA in it you start to realise how it could easily have been an hour long documentary instead of stretched to six episodes.

I agree it feels like 2 documentaries spliced together to pull in the little mix fans, and they are playing too heavily on the little mix side to get more viewers, still a fascinating series but personally nowhere near as powerful as the Caroline flack one on Disney plus

Well I really enjoyed it....I think they sort of had to include the same information from Odd one Out because that's the reason why she left and it explains alot? I think it dragged more because evidently they knew people would be tuning in to hear the 'real' reason she left hence why it was a little all over the place. They probably knew LM fans would potentially tune out if all the LM stuff was in just one/two episodes.

There's a confirmed part 2 on the babies SMA diagnosis and I'm assuming will include Jesy's campaigning?

Ohhh, I wasn't aware. This I'd be interested to watch.

The only people who are proportioning blame and perpetuating these narratives are the weird fans who continue to use what happened as entertainment and an embarrassingly immature way of enforcing sides between them.

Jesy said she didn’t feel supported at that time, but that doesn’t mean they were to blame nor does it take away the amount of support that they gave her prior. She also said that she didnt deal with conversations very well and appreciated that this was only her point of view.

It could potentially be Jesy speaking to other families / her campaigning as opposed to a documentary about her twins specifically but she confirmed there was definitely a documentary on SMA that's in the works.

Some of you really need to learn about unconscious bias. The white privilege is astounding.

I think they cut a lot out, as before the SMA diagnosis she was raising a lot of awareness for TTTS and was working with the Twins Trust charity. I really enjoyed the documentary and it got to show us ‘normal’ jesy again and humanise her again to other people.

Also yes, there IS a second season or special show just about SMA which she is currently filming. She follows a few SMA families on Instagram and interacts with them, she also said in an interview she’s been meeting SMA families. She’s working closely with the CEO of SMA UK too, she met with him the other day.

Can you literally not, I’m a person of colour. Plus everyone else above has literally even said in the past they haven’t condoned Jesy’s behaviour or that they are her biggest fan. Please do not throw that language out to silence others because their opinion is actually different to yours and positive about Jesy’s campaigning. Maybe you should take a step back and remind yourself Jesy is a human being. She left a band, it got messy, they are now civil again, move on.

I’m a person of color too. You have said multiple times that everyone should just get over what she has done.
