The Little Mix fallout shows no signs of cooling off.
Just hours after Perrie Edwards revisited the altercation with her former bandmate Jesy Nelson, Jesy’s sister Jade fired back with an impassioned defense in an Instagram statement on Wednesday, June 10.
“People say in life to be the bigger person, shut up, but sometimes that doesn’t really help,” Jade wrote.
She went on to describe watching her sister endure years of criticism and struggle with mental health. “I’ve watched my sister go through hell and back for many, many years and very few will ever understand what it’s like to be tormented, bullied and pulled down for the way you look,” she said.
Jade also referenced Jesy’s previous suicide attempts, writing: “I think when you try to end your life not once but twice it shows the dark place you must be in and YES it was with a lack of support many times.”
Earlier that day, Perrie performed at Jamie Laing’s Fantastic company podcast and emphasized that she was doing her best to help Jesy, even though Jesy claimed otherwise in her latest documentary.
“What upsets me the most is when situations like this happen and the other person doesn’t take any responsibility,” Perrie said.
But Jade had something to say about that.
“As for not taking responsibility, that’s actually all she’s done, she’s fully aware that she was hard work, she’s fully aware that she was difficult to deal with, but through it all, if another single person was struggling with a breakup, anxiety, life, she was there!”
