Perrie Edwards has finally spoken about the breakdown of her friendship with Jesy Nelson and insists she has no interest in rekindling their relationship following the release of her shocking Amazon Prime documentary.
Last year Jesy released Life After Little Mix where she claimed her bandmates Perrie, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock "didn't care" to hear about her mental health struggles within the band, and didn't support her when she chose to quit in 2020, before the threesome went on a hiatus. However, Perrie, 32, has hit out at those claims and criticised Jesy for playing the victim and taking no responsibility for the role she played in the break-up of the band.
Perrie's Scathing Criticism
Speaking to Jamie Laing on Great Company, the singer said: "What annoys me the most, and again I have to be careful how I say this as I don't want to seem like a b**** but for me what upsets me the most is when situations like this happen and the other person doesn't take any accountability, that boils my blood!"
"I am not blaming everything on you, I am not saying that she's this f****** monster and everything was her thought blah, blah, blah but take some accountability for your actions and realise you were difficult, you did have difficult moments. Granted there were reasons for those moments but you can only pick someone up so many f****** times before you start losing track of your own sanity."
Perrie was furious when she watched the documentary as she felt her former bandmate made her out to be a bad person. She continued: "Don't put the blame on me and make me out to be something I am not, yes I am not perfect and I might not have been there enough or I could have done better I suppose. But I thought what I was doing was enough, I thought that I tried everything and so then to sit there in further interviews and discuss it publicly and be like, 'I wasn't supported', you were though, you know what I am saying? you were, so take some accountability."
No Chance of Reconciliation
She went on to say that Jesy wasn't "being genuine" in the doc and other interviews but insisted that she's no longer angry but "frustrated" with the situation. Asked if they'll ever reconnect, the South Shields-born star replied: "If I am being completely transparent part of me wanted to until the documentary and then part of me withdrew again. This is the thing I am not a horrible person, I haven't got a bad bone in my body but I can cut you off. I can cut you out of my life like that, if you upset me and hurt me in a way there's not really any going back."
"I don't have the capacity for someone like that in my life anymore and that might make me sound like a b**** but I just don't have that energy for it and as much as I will always love her I don't think I can hack that energy in my space."
