Her story, in particular, is a touching one; the story the singer shared with her fans in her documentary, "Jesy Nelson: Odd One Out," the 29-year-old detailed how online abuse from trolls drove her to attempt suicide.
Jesy now has come a long way from all those things as she embarked on her journey to self-acceptance. Back in July of 2019, the singer posted an honest and emotional post about her painful experience overcoming her body issues and self-hatred following being labeled "the fat one from Little Mix."
On her post, Jesy wrote,
"6 months ago this girl was someone I just wanted to forget. I wanted to erase her from my mind and everyone else’s memory. I didn’t see her as Jesy I saw her as 'the fat one from Little Mix.' Up until now, I hated her not because she’d ever done anything bad but because I was made to hate her by endless amounts of trolling."
The singer continued,
"I’ve made this documentary for 2011 Jesy and for anyone who might be feeling like she did. I refused to speak about how I was feeling for so long. I was embarrassed and scared too. But I was so wrong to feel that way."
The singer added,
"Please if you are feeling how I did, SPEAK ABOUT IT. Talk to your family, speak to your friends, there’s always help out there. If you’d have told that girl one day you won’t feel sad anymore, I’d never have believed you....and here I am. Now when I look in the mirror, I don’t see Jesy the fat one, I see Jesy the happy one!"
