Her mother Janice White was ‘distraught’ after her hospitalization and demanded she leave the group – but Jesy was forced to shoot a music video just a week after she received treatment following the attempt.
Following Jesy’s departure in 2020, the three remaining members of Little Mix continued as a trio before going their separate ways last year.
In 2021, Jesy revealed her first solo single, Boyz, and confirmed that she had lost contact with her bandmates.
Speaking on The Graham Norton Show, she said, “We’re not talking anymore. It’s sad, but honestly there’s no bad blood on my part, and I still love them to pieces and sincerely wish them all the best.
“I loved my time with them, and we have the most incredible memories together, but it’s just one of those things that takes time, so who knows.
“To me, they’re still the sickest girl group in the world.”
At the time, Jesy was at the center of massive drama, after Leigh-Anne accused her of blackfishing in the music video for Boyz in leaked messages with influencer NoHun.
Jesy’s Boyz collaborator Nicki Minaj then labeled her former bandmates “jealous clowns” on a barbed Instagram live.
A source claimed that while Jesy was “aware” of Leigh-Anne’s leaked DMs, she wanted to “keep quiet” to avoid a social media altercation.
Jesy has continued to work on her music and is already working on her second solo album.
While she has yet to release her debut album, Bad Thing singer Jesy revealed she’s already working hard on a follow-up.
Jesy will release her debut solo album as an independent artist after splitting from her label Polydor last year.
