Perrie Edwards Admits She's Still Moved To Tears By Jesy Nelson Rift

Perrie Edwards discusses Jesy Nelson in Alison Hammond's Big WeekendPerrie Edwards has admitted that she still has an emotional reaction when she reflects on the rift between herself and her former bandmate Jesy Nelson.The two singers spent almost a decade together in the chart-topping pop group Little Mix, who were put together on the eighth season of The X Factor in 2011, and went on to score five UK number one singles.In 2020, Jesy made headlines when she announced she was parting ways with the group, having previously spoken candidly about the toll that being part of a girl band had on her mental health.While initially this split was reported to be a harmonious one, this proved not to be the case as time went on, and the remaining three members of Little Mix have not spoken to Jesy since her departure from the band.Over the weekend, an interview with Perrie and Alison Hammond aired on the latter’s new show Alison Hammond’s Big Weekend, in which they briefly touched on the fall-out.The original four members of Little Mix at the 2018 Brit AwardsThe Forget About Us singer admitted that she, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock “talk about” Jesy’s exit “a lot”, adding: “But I think in the moment, we did everything we could. So, some things just happen. It is really sad.”Confirming that she and Jesy haven’t spoken in almost five years, she told the This Morning star: “We haven’t spoken since she left. It’s heartbreaking, isn’t it?“I wrote a song about it, and every time I listen to it I cry. I think losing a friend in that same dynamic and in that same world, is just as bad [as breaking up with a romantic partner], if not worse.”A year after Jesy’s exit from Little Mix, the release of her debut solo single Boyz sparked accusations of Blackfishing.Reports around this time claimed that her ex-bandmates had all unfollowed Jesy on social media, though unverified “leaked” DMs reportedly sent by Leigh-Anne Pinnock to a TikTok user later suggested that Jesy had, in fact, blocked the trio.These alleged messages were never confirmed to be accurate, nor did Leigh-Anne ever comment on them directly.However, they did end up forming a major part of the conversation during an ill-fated Instagram live-stream Jesy took part in with her Boyz collaborator Nicki Minaj, in which the rapper branded Leigh-Anne a “fucking clown” and accused her of being “jealous” of Jesy.Last week, Jesy became a mum to twin girls, who she has named Ocean Jade and Story Monroe.READ MORE:Jade Thirlwall Gets Candid About 'Trauma' Of Jesy Nelson Leaving Little MixLittle Mix Producer Makes Bold 'Impersonator' Claim About The Band's Final Single As A Four-PieceJade Thirlwall Reveals The Truth Behind Rumoured Simon Cowell Dig On Her New Single
