Her remaining fans feel determined to ignore the very obvious most likely explanation for why her story doesn't line up and why she doesn't seem to have learnt and understood why the blackfishing was wrong is because she's simply lying about all of it to try and make herself look better.

The most likely explanation for the whole thing is that as we know from her X Factor journey she - and all the others - never wanted to be in the group in the first place, their primary goal was to be successful solo singers, that was why they auditioned. They went for being in a group as their only possible path to a second chance in the competition, and it ended up working out for them, but it was never any of their primary dream or ambition in the first place.

Now whether it was something in their contract prohibiting it or whether they just didn't have the connections with industry names or their management wasn't going to allow it, none of them did solo stuff while within the group, which in the modern era of groups and the kpop model feels unusual. It would not be at all surprising if they wanted to though, or at least if some of them wanted to, and they all will have known the Geri/Camila Cabello/Cheryl story that the first one to go solo is usually the most successful, so she took the opportunity as soon as she was completely fed up of being in the group to give it a go. And she flubbed it a little, and didn't really have a backup, and burned her bridges, and has been trying to cover for it and rewrite that story ever since.

If she could just admit that candidly and actually seem like she understands that, then I think she could approach healing properly. But she seems dead set on sticking to her story and even in the documentary coming out with what sound like management-approved lines.

    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

I think the one thing I've seen people talk about online is perspective - obviously things are really heightened in this situation with lots of eyes watching.


For example - Jade's song Natural At Disaster has some truly dreadful and out-of-touch lyrics "I'm pretty sure that you're the devil" however it's her perspective and what she went through - in the same way Jesy acknowledges she was not easy in the group however when it came to that final conversation with the other 3 and one of them was like "can we go now?" that would have been tough - again - looking at both sides of the argument - the person in question may have been sick to the back teeth of these regular occurences, alongside Jesy seemingly putting herself in the victim role constantly and not taking any ownership of things she did that may have upset others.

We all know something went down on the Sweet Melody video as Jesy's barely in it and when she is, her outfit doesn't even match the other girls' and she left quite soon after. I think Jesy surrounded herself with a lot of Yes people (as all the girls do) and that doesn't help them with perspective from an other eye - for example if I were around Jade I'd probably have kept Natural at Disaster off the album or have some serious lyric changes.

I think a lot of people have said that after LM5 it was obvious the girls wanted to step away and the quality of the Confetti album showed. Covid certainly didn't help and we all know Perrie wanted to leave.

From my personal view, the 3 didn't really work as well - they were slightly more in sync but Jesy truly is the star of them and she was certainly a missing element from my perspective (having watched their final O2 show as a four piece and then watching them as a 3). I think the lack of any success of any singles post-Sweet Melody shows that people were also not that invested.

Again it comes to perspective, stepping away from the Little Mix bubble has obviously done wonders for Jesy as she has been able to review her time differently, as she said to Jamie Laing. The situation between the four is very nuanced.

Jade has never confirmed or even hinted that 'Natural at Disaster' is being about Jesy, though. It could very well be a song about an ex.

Wow this is amazing! Becoming a Patron for the charity SMA UK.

On accepting her role Jesy said,

"Becoming a Patron of SMA UK honestly means so much to me. This charity has been there for families for years, standing by them, lifting them up and fighting when things felt impossible. Meeting Giles, Lucy and the incredible team who've supported not just me, but so many other families has shown me what real strength and unity looks like. When we come together, we are powerful, and we are not going to stop until real change happens.

I'm beyond proud to take on this role, to stand up for every single person in the SMA community, from tiny babies to adults living with SMA and / will keep campaigning with everything I've got, for my girls and for every family who deserves to feel seen, heard and

supported."

Leigh-Anne seems really genuine and sincere, very kind of her.

She didn’t actually say that though. She said her, Jade & Perrie are close.

Leigh-Anne did an interview with PEOPLE and spoke about Jesy.

Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards recently reconnected with their former Little Mix bandmate Jesy Nelson.

Pinnock, 34, whose debut solo album My Ego Told Me To was released on Friday, Feb. 20, tells PEOPLE all three remaining Little Mix members have spoken to Nelson (who left the group in 2020) since the “Boyz” singer, 34, revealed her 9-month-old twin daughters Ocean Jade and Story Monroe were diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) last month.

“We've obviously all reached out and [are] just sending all just love, strength, positivity,” says Pinnock, who’s also a mom to twin daughters with husband Andre Gray, of Nelson. “I just think she's just incredible just to even raise awareness.”

I’m sure it was obvious that they just won’t be close with Jesy at least for a long while. Jesy is clearly very busy being a new mum and the whole situation is probably still awkward. If there’s ever a reunion / tour etc I can see them really bonding and become closer again.

Yeah it does.t really sound like they are over it , its obviously a question that was going to be brought up especially given the timing, just shows they sympathise with the situation but not necessarily over the split

Besides if she said anything negative it would of been twisted, for once she has actually used her media training to answer the question Leigh-Anne

I thought it was crystal clear shr meant in that moment when talking about a lack of support considering she said that 2017 to 2019 was the best time and post the other girl wanting to leave she checked and stopped caring. It makes total sense with the amount they were doing that they would be over her mood (not acknowledging the depths of it) they all came back rested and ready for the final hurdle and she came back disconnected and miserable.

Yes I imagine it will be in time for the 20 year reunion when conversations will really kick off... what is that 2031?
