Jesy Nelson's Brother Convinced Her Not to Quit Little Mix Early
In a candid revelation, former Little Mix member Jesy Nelson has disclosed that she nearly left the chart-topping girl group after only two years. Speaking on Jamie Laing's Good Company podcast, Nelson admitted that her initial desire to depart came early in the band's journey, long before they reached their peak of fame.
Family Intervention Kept Nelson in the Band
Nelson explained that during her first attempt to exit Little Mix, it was her family, particularly her brother, who insisted she remain. "My brother told me to stick it out for another few years," she recalled, emphasising that this intervention was crucial in her decision to stay at the time. The band, formed in 2011, had not yet achieved its widespread popularity, making this a pivotal moment in their career trajectory.
Nelson's Eventual Departure in 2020
Despite this early hesitation, Nelson continued with Little Mix for several more years, contributing to their success before ultimately departing in 2020. Her revelation sheds light on the personal challenges and pressures faced by members of high-profile music groups, even during their formative years.
This insight into Nelson's experience highlights the often unseen struggles behind the glamour of the entertainment industry, where family support can play a decisive role in career decisions.
