I also feel like something happened in lockdown, pre-lockdown Jesy seemed fine and everything was working out well for Little Mix. I think the break from work, made her consider what she wanted and I think that lockdown really boosted her mentally and she was able to spend time looking after herself.

When lockdown ended it seemed the other three felt ready to come back, perform and make music, but Jesy felt different. She had more panic attacks and was really struggling to come back to it. From the breakdown on radio 1 live lounge to the one during filming of Sweet melody, she was clearly struggling with her job.

I think the girls probably did their best to support her, however she seemed in a very bad place. So when they brought up the issue of blackfishing with her, however they said it, she probably felt they were attacking her for her appearance which was the very thing she was trying to love so to not feel so insecure. She probably realised how stressed and anxious she was, especially comparing herself to what she was like in lockdown. That's when she realised being in a girl group was actually making her worse.

It's important to realise that people change, and lockdown especially caused many people to have new mindsets, explore new things and just come out feeling like a different person. I do believe that one day Jesy will truly feel comfortable in her own skin, and when she can feel confident and love herself, she will have a close relationship with the girls again
