Jesy Nelson has shrugged off Perrie Edwards controversy on Thursday as she shared a sizzling new Instagram video. 

The singer looked incredible in a plunging white halterneck dress as she showed off her glamorous look ahead of an event.

Jesy looked to not have a care in the world as she flicked her long perfectly waved locks as she posed in her hotel room hours after ex bandmate Perrie had branded her as 'difficult'. 

Ignoring the controversy, Jesy wrote: 'Doc fest ready, can’t wait to see you all'.

On Wednesday, Perrie addressed the Little Mix feud for the first time as she accused her former bandmate of not taking accountability for her behaviour in the final months of her time in the girl group. 

Jesy left Little Mix in December 2020 after nine years in the band, saying at the time the pressure had taken a toll on her mental health. 

Perrie, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock continued as a trio before eventually splitting to pursue solo projects. 

In her recent documentary, Jesy said she had not seen her former bandmate since leaving the band over five years ago but didn't rule out a chance of a reunion. 

However, Perrie has now said that it is very unlikely for the four to ever reunite as Jesy 'upset and hurt me in a way where there is no going back'.

Speaking to Jamie Laing on his Great Company podcast, she explained: '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***ing monster and everything was her fault blah, blah, blah but take some accountability for your actions and realise you were difficult, you did have difficult moments.'

She added: 'Granted there were reasons for those moments but you can only pick someone up so many f***ing times before you start losing track of your own sanity.' 

Perrie felt she was misrepresented by Jesy's comments, after the star said she felt unsupported through her mental health battles whilst she was in the band. 

Jesy said she felt very alone and claimed their final phone call was awkward and made her feel like she was talking to a bunch of strangers. 

'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,' Perrie hit back.

'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.'

When host Jamie asked if there was a possibility they might be in each other's lives again, Perrie ruled it out. 

'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 the energy for it and as much as I will always love her I don't think I can hack that energy in my space.'

Following Perrie speaking out, Jesy's older sister Jade Nelson has hit back in a scathing response as she posted a lengthy statement on Instagram, telling followers the star has been 'to hell and back for years'. 

Jade said she was speaking out because she's 'so tired of lies and accusations' about her sister.

She wrote: 'People say in life be the bigger person, keep quiet, but actually sometimes it doesn't do any good.'

'l've watched my sister go through hell and back for many, many years and very few will only ever understand what it's like to be tormented, bullied and pulled down for the way you look.' 

'It's really easy to say just ignore it, but until you are in that situation yourself you will never ever really know how it will affect them.'

Jade went on to point out that her sister had tried to take her own life twice as she suffered with mental health issues. Jesy has previously revealed how she first struggled in 2013, the second attempt in 2020 happened days before she quit Little Mix. 

'I think when you attempt to end your life not once, but twice it shows the dark place you must be in and YES that was with a lack of support many many times,' Jade wrote. 

She added: 'As for not taking accountability, that is actually all she's done, she's fully aware she was hard work, she's fully aware she was hard to deal with but through it all if any other single person were struggling with a break up, anxiety, life, she was there! lsn't that what you do as friends or if you love someone.

'So yes we may learn lots from our therapists but would a therapist ever say there is only so many times you can pick someone up. It's ok to be spoken about in interviews, songs, but the minute she tells her truth finally, it's funny people don't seem to like it.

'It's always a shock when someone finally stands up for themselves, maybe that's why we get angry and swear as we can't believe it.'

Jade ended her statement by telling fans: 'There is always so, so much more someone could have said.'
