Leigh-Anne Pinnock reignites feud with former bandmate Jesy Nelson as she snubs star on Little Mix anniversary
LEIGH-ANNE Pinnock scrubbed bandmate Jesy Nelson from Little Mix’s history as she paid tribute the group on their 13th anniversary.
Jesy announced she had left Little Mix in 2020, revealing that nine years in the band had taken “a toll on her mental health”.
Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirwall and Leigh-Anne continued to perform together for just one year before they called it quits to go solo.
Yesterday, Perrie, Jade and Jesy remained quiet on the anniversary of the day Little Mix won Simon Cowel‘s talent show The X Factor in 2011.
Leigh-Anne, 32, didn’t want the menet to go unnoticed, and shared a photo of the line-up in its final year which included her with Perrie and Jade.
The star captioned the shot: “Happy 13th anniversary to this pretty legendary iconic girl band called Little Mix.”
The mum kept it brief in her biography when she spoke out on the feud in the band.
In her 2023 autobiography, Believe, Leigh-Anne opened up about Jesy’s shock exit from the group in December 2020 and said: “It was abrupt, then it was sad, then it was messy.”
Last year, Jesy spoke about her exit in depth for the first time in an interview with The Sun and suggested there was hope for a future relationship between them all.
She said: “So no, we haven’t talked since then. Never say never, but I honestly wish them the best on their solo journeys now, which is so exciting.
“I think that is what is so exciting about all of us. We are all musically different styles. I think we will all go in our own lane.
“I am rooting for all of them. I honestly do wish them all the success as they are all crazy talented.”
And more recently she shared her reaction to Jade’s solo single.
When one fan asked her: “Jesy, have you heard Angel Of My Dreams? Do you like the song?”
Jesy responded: “I have it’s a vibe!!!”
Her comment was welcomed by fans, with one commenting: “Nice response.”
Another said: “She’s not as bitter as everyone thinks she is.”
A third wrote: “oh I thought they didn’t like each other.”
