“After an amazing 9 years together Jesy has made the decision to leave Little Mix. This is an incredibly sad time for all of us but we are fully supportive of Jesy. We love her very much and agree that it is so important that she does what is right for her mental health and well-being. We are still very much enjoying our Little Mix journey and the 3 of us are not ready for it to be over. We know that Jesy leaving the group is going to be really upsetting news for our fans. We love you guys so much and are so grateful for your loyalty and continued support of all of us. We’re looking forward to seeing so many of you on tour.
Love always,
Jade, Perrie and Leigh-Anne xxx
Your thoughts?”
UPDATE: Jesy has penned an open letter:
*********
Nelson has been on a “hiatus” since November, with the official word being that she was recovering from illness.
Confirmation of her departure comes amidst the campaign for Little Mix’s sixth studio album ‘Confetti’ – which has spawned a number of hits including ‘Holiday’ and ‘Break Up Song.’
We wish both Jesy and the group the best moving forward.

Man, she was one of my favorites. But that’s okay, she’ll do just fine on her own when she’s ready.
I believe the weight criticism took a toll on her mental health. Which is sad hope she feels better soon
Finally! She was the Michelle of the group – always off with choreography, off in photos, etc. Groups look better in odd numbers. They’ll be just fine. Bye Jesy
U really give away urself don’t u WAP aka Only Facts aka Susan. U are such a hateful person its really pathetic.
🧐🧐🧐 Go eat a piece of bread. You’re hungry
I’m well fed thank u very much hater. U are truly a sad and pathetic soul. Go seek help. This blog is clearly not the therpy that u so despartly need.
b**** jesy is incredibly talented and the reason she left is because of fuckers like you. go to hell. love you jesy
A famous singer leaves a band due to online trolling and negative criticism… You respond with online trolling and negative criticism…
your moother didnt raise you right its a serious problem. But everthing we do we get it back dont be like the cool one here GOD SEES ERVETHING YOU ARE A HUMAN TOO
“ In news just in, it’s been Little Mix” does that make sense? Were u in that much of a rush to post this dud story? 😂
Poor girl.
They called her fat all the time but she’s not even fat.
tHATS THE REASON WHY THEY THROW BLACK ARTIST DOWN THAT A NATURAL BODY WE BLÖACK PEOPLE LOVE THAT TYPE OF BODY!!!
“We are still very much enjoying our Little Mix journey and the 3 of us are not ready for it to be over.” This is all I needed to read. I’m sad for Jesy and hope she finds the peace of mind to recover fully 🙏🏻 but I’m also lowkey excited to see what they’ll do as a trio
They’ve been together for a really long time but never heard a song of there’s ever. Who cares?
You’re here, so you care
hahahaha!
WOW! I am shocked and saddened by this news. Her voice is incredible and was so distinctive. She will definitely be missed
I called this weeks ago and I was told I was wrong blah blah. Let’s see how they get on without her. Their new album is doing well in the UK, but it has completely tanked overseas. I’m predicting the tour next year and then an indefinite hiatus. I’ll be told I’m wrong of course.
They will never break America.
That being said, she’s the main girl I check for in the group. Good luck yall
Told ya she’ll pull a Geri Halliwell!
I love Jesy so much and she is so inspiring and amazingly talented woman. this news breaks my heart as i have obly been a mixer for about a year. that being said, i know that jesy will do so well and i will support her as a loving fan. once a mixer, always a mixer. little mix forever ❤️💜💖🤍🖤🧡💚🤍💚💙🤎 xxxx

I remember she’s the one that cried in an interview where they always called her fat, ugly etc…I saw nothing wrong with her and she’s a great talent! I hope she gets all the help she needs to get through whatever she’s going through.
I still don’t know which one is who. They have no individual personality as a group, in the way that TLC, Total, Spice Girls had, and the music felt very generic with little actual input from them other than getting in the booth and singing the penned lyrics.
Damn, I finally became a fan with this album and home girl up leaves… what a bummer!
Obviously though her mental health needs to come first and mad props for her prioritizing her wellness.
I hope the band and her have continued success (whatever success looks like for her moving forward)
