Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock breaks silence on Jesy Nelson feud and reveals what got her through it

LEIGH-ANNE Pinnock has finally broken her silence on her fall-out with ex-bandmate Jesy Nelson.

The girls were caught up in a huge online feud back in 2021 when Jesy, 31, joined A-list rapper Nicki Minaj in a scathing Instagram live attack on Leigh-Anne, also 31.

Now Leigh - who welcomed twins with husband Andre Gray just weeks before the comments - has spoken out.

She said: "I found myself in this massive drama on Twitter, maybe a month after giving birth, and one of the babies smiled at me for the first time."

Speaking to , Leigh added: "I was just like, “Well, this puts everything into perspective, doesn’t it?”

"All I had to do was put the phone down and it went away, because it’s not real."

The feud between the former Little Mix stars began after leaked messages allegedly sent by Leigh-Anne accused Jesy of "blackfishing" - a term used when a white person uses black culture and aesthetics for their own gain.

After Nicki featured on Jesy's heavily-criticised debut solo single Boyz, the duo appeared in an Instagram live together.

During the live Jesy was seen giggling as Nicki laid into Leigh, branding her a "f****** clown" and insisting she was "jealous and insecure".

Leigh is set to released her highly anticipated debut solo track Don't Say Love later this week and she recently sent fans wild with a first-look at the accompanying music video.

The Sun recently revealed Leigh has teamed up with British rapper Stormzy for a track on her debut solo album.

Leigh will be the first of the remaining members of Little Mix - also made up of Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards - to release solo material after they went on hiatus in May last year.
