The 27-year-old “Naught List” singer compared her exit to that of Zayn Malik‘s split from One Direction.
“Someone Zayn‘d out,” Liam said during a TikTok live. “No, no. Let’s be serious about this. It’s always sad at this moment in time when bands get into that sort of thing. Having been there myself, I felt that Zayn left for pretty much the same reason in a weird way.â€
“I wish Jesy all the best. I wish the girls all the best for carrying on as a three,†he continued. “It’s a tough time and I do feel for them because everyone is watching in that little fishbowl at the moment and no one really understands what’s going on or how it feels for some people.â€
Jesy announced on Monday in a letter to fans that she was leaving Little Mix due to the toll it was taking on her mental health. The rest of the group also released a statement, showing full support for their now former bandmate.
“We all could use a little early holiday spirit, so I’m hoping everyone has fun creating videos to this song,” she said (via People). “It’s so catchy and I love how it can serve as such a fun way for all of us to feel a little more connected to each other. I can’t wait to see the crazy content everyone comes up with.”
