I will say that I can understand Leigh is upset and Jesy has shown little regard for her feelings with everything that’s gone on But knowing Jesy’s history etc, willingly (whether joking or not) actively wanting someone to add hate at a time where she is being battered by the media is very very cold, to me. I understand people will say that she deserves it and that on the face of it, Leigh has done nothing wrong etc, and I get that but I can’t help how that made me feel in all honesty.

It was on Instagram Live but it’s now all over Twitter.

NoHun on Instagram just showed a DM from Leighanne spilling the tea, apparently Jesy cut them off and she’s a ‘horrible person’ eeek. She replied to his ‘should i make a dance video to Boyz’ and she said ‘no do a video about her being a blackfish instead’

has anyone been watching nohuns insta live?

I think tbf, this is a bit of a reach - a promotional tour tends to be the same questions asked at you so she isn’t going to give different answers to the same questions really? Why can she not have had negative experiences which led her to leave the band (let’s remember she literally attempted suicide whilst in the band) but not have good memories and love for her former colleagues? Like yes, she’s blackfishing and she’s being held accountable for that rightfully but her feelings about her time in LM are absolutely valid.

it makes me a bit sad listening to that interview hearing Jesy say nice things about LM when they have (rightly or wrongly) washed their hands of her.

I’m not clued up on Spotify/Apple placings - is this good? I wonder when the cd single will arrive.

we hear you.

I’m so surprised to see how much it’s taking off! Number one in USA, wow!

This. I personally think a lot of the criticism aimed at her is from people who (wrongly) don’t believe her reasons for leaving the band match with her actions. She should be called out absolutely, but people are taking pleasure in the dragging and it’s uncomfortable.

I don’t really think this is for me either, which is disappointing as I was so looking forward to the release.

She says for the time being ‘they don’t talk’, but she hasn’t blamed the other three for it?

Let’s be honest though, if she had come out and said that you’d still be in the thread talking about awful it was that she dared to do that… i think she means that she can schedule things on her terms and she has an element of control in her life, whilst she was in Little Mix everything was done for her without any real consideration for whether she wanted to do it or not.

I love this so much.

I just don’t get how anyone can watch that podcast and not understand where she was coming from?

You can tell she is really invested in the release so it’s so nice to see!

it’s truly hideous though, isn’t it?

How do we know that the others didn’t do that to Jesy though? There seems to be a Jesy v the girls narrative that’s been created because she left, on more than a musical level and it’s just weird that everyone is so keen to paint Jesy as the villain yet all throughout her tenure in Little Mix she was applauded and had to be protected at all costs. I feel like she has been honest about what’s gone on over the years, which is something we all loved about her in the first place was it not? Regardless, even if she has cut them off she is within her rights to do that. If those people remind her of a traumatic time in jer life then maybe she does just need time to heal? Maybe the girls already know this and they have an understanding. We really don’t know anything in relation to the circumstances surrounding their split, but I don’t think Jesy should be made to do something or keep up appearances for the sake of her image because that’s what got her here in the first place

At the same time though, people seem to be really enjoying sticking the boot in at any point and so it becomes boring when people just keep reiterating the same thing (you said yourself that you were repeating yourself in your previous post). I don’t really understand your initial point either, what has her mental health issues and reasons for leaving got to do with the grills and the Nicki collab?

I definitely don’t think it’s worse than it was a few years ago, the last year of anything has been less OTT than ever. There was a time when characters were literally getting killed every other week with zero after math. Saying that I don’t think it’s very good either. There’s a new producer (her episodes have been on screen since the end of June, I think) who previously oversaw the show when it was genuinely at it’s all time lowest in 2009.

This is such a strange comment to make cause there are plenty of solo artists who don’t write their own material?

Isn’t that what it’s about though, good looks and good performance in the challenges, haha? She is definitely out of her depth this season though and I’m not really sure why because the S2 cast are way better.

I thought this too but it isn’t, it’s heading back to BBC1!

This is coming back!!

she did one last month as part of ‘ki and dee’ - a small one granted, but one all the same!
