Just watching her documentary that was on last night and I really feel for her,noone should have to go through bullying like that online or otherwise.
Anyone else seen it?

I haven’t but I heard her on the radio talking about a couple of days ago. I also looked up some pictures of her as I had no idea who she was; she looks like a different person now. Like an indentikit Kardashian type.

ElizaPancakes · 13/09/2019 10:06

Sorry I posted too soon!

Terribly sad what happened with her. Internet trolls at the worst, sitting behind their screen doling out insults.

spiderlight · 13/09/2019 10:08

I watched it last night. I know one of the other people she talked to on there who has been to hell and back, but has turned into a truly inspirational young lady and is using her experience to help others all over the country. It makes me so angry that people can do this - and Katie Hopkins' tweet in particular was just unforgivable.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 13/09/2019 10:08

@ElizaPancakes she is so insecure I think she looks how she does now due to all the hate on social media.

Just watching it now on catch up. Had no idea just how vile Katie Hopkins is. Why would you say that about another person.
I'm lucky and very thick skinned but cant imagine what drives people to make comments like this to other people.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 13/09/2019 14:51

I haven't seen it but I know about it.

She has likely had some surgery on her face (fillers) which is probably down to pressure from the horrific abuse she receives. People who make young women feel this way by bullying them are disgusting.

Horehound · 13/09/2019 14:57

I'm watching this right now and bloody hell its heart wrenching. I feel so bad for her. Poor girl

Horehound · 13/09/2019 15:04

She really reminds me of Carol vorderman!

BalloonSlayer · 13/09/2019 15:22

Poor girl. Shocking things people said!

I have seen Little Mix a few times and tbh she is always the one I watch; she stands out as by far the most attractive, characterful and interesting one. Not that the other three aren't lovely! (Don't want them to get upset either.)

summersun0191 · 13/09/2019 15:24

I've recorded it to watch tonight, will I need tissues at the ready?

sheshootssheimplores · 13/09/2019 15:28

I just watched it. I’m hopeful she’ll realise in time that much less make up, natural hair and loose clothing will make her feel a million times better about herself. She reminds me of a lot of reality TV girls, they know they’re not supermodels but are so desperate to look beautiful. So always have a full face of make up and tight clothing. There’s something just so beautiful about youth. You can’t buy it. You have the bloom of a rose for such a short time and I wish these girls could see that.

I really like Chris off of Love Island. I think he’s great for her and hope they go the distance.

I don't like little mixes music as it's not my genre but I watched this programme. Trolls calling jesy fat, there is no way she is fat then or now! She to me is a slim woman! The way she has been treated has caused her to look so different and resort to the cosmetic procedures she has. I know what it's like to be called ugly and fat even when I was a size 6 by my first husband! It stays with you and you always check your weight and appearance. I really feel for jesy, its awful the way people say these things. And Katie Hopkins needs to look in the mirror before she criticises others!

QueenOfWinterfell · 13/09/2019 15:53

I found it hard to hold back the tears watching this last night. Jesy is gorgeous and so much more attractive than Katie Hopkins. I guess jealousy drove her to write that disgusting tweet. Was also so upset about poor Sian who was equally gorgeous. I think social media platforms need to take a lot more responsibility over this sort of bullying

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/09/2019 16:03

KH is an out and out bully. I bet she had kids terrified to go to school. What a great example she is to her kids.
Not that she is by any stretch of the imagination but even if Jesy was a “chubber” she could lose weigh. Katie will always be ugly outside but more so inside,
If in the unlikely event you’re reading this Jesy. You’re beautiful, Same goes for all those effected by these bullying cunts.x

Stuckandsad · 13/09/2019 16:07

What struck me was the similarities of her experience and of domestic abuse victims. Jesy is incredible and brave and beautiful. Her mum must be very proud

I agree, she always stood out to me as having charisma, and a kind of 'star quality' to her.

BeardofZeus · 13/09/2019 17:43

I will never understand what drives people to say such unkind things to people. I really felt for Jesy and the others on her programme and thought they were all so strong to have got to where they are, however unsteady the road they trod.

SoupDragon · 13/09/2019 17:48

Terribly sad what happened with her. Internet trolls at the worst, sitting behind their screen doling out insults.

Unless "identikit Kardashian" is a compliment, you've done the same though.

ElizaPancakes · 13/09/2019 21:57

It wasn’t an insult @SoupDragon - it was an observation and commentary on how the hurtful comments have pushed her to change her look so dramatically. You’ll notice I didn’t actually offer an opinion on how she looks.

“Indentikit Kardashian” is neither and insult nor a compliment. Says more about your opinions than mine.

@PrincessHoneysuckle yes that’s exactly what I mean.

neverornow · 13/09/2019 22:22

I remember her on X factor and always thought she stood out. She had a really cool/trendy vibe about her and can sing and dance really well.
Heartbreaking to think she seriously attempted taking her own life due to all the trolling.

Hadenoughofitall441 · 13/09/2019 23:27

I loved her on xfactor, IMO she is the best one on little mix, I really wish she didn’t change herself because of some cowards sitting behind a screen. Nothing wrong with her before. As for Katie Hopkins the less said about that vile excuse for a women the better. Why people keep indulging her I’ll never know.

nonmerci · 14/09/2019 00:27

The outfit she wore to meet the grieving parents was a bit... unnecessary?

Ontheboardwalk · 14/09/2019 00:39

Katie Hopkins and others of her time like Carole Malone should be brought to justice for their shocking behaviour to people.

I’m sure a lot of trolling started because people saw this diabolical behaviour on telly and in the press and thought it would be funny to stick the boot in as well

Defenbaker · 14/09/2019 00:53

KH's comment was untrue and vile. I believe she is a psychopath who enjoys the pain of others. Awful excuse for a human being.

Jesy came across as very vulnerable and I wonder whether being in the public eye is doing her any favours, as she doesn't seem resiliant enough to cope with it. To me she didn't look overweight in any of the photos shown, but as she is very short and the camera tends to exaggerate people's weight then any excess pounds might be more visible on her than if she were tall. I think she'd look much better with less make up, but it seems to be like a protective armour that she needs to shield her. I hope one day she will feel brave enough to tone it down a bit, but she is doing well to move on through life after such awful bullying.

Many of the girls featured who had experienced online bullying were very attractive, and it made me wonder if much of the bullying stemmed from jealousy. I would bet that many of the trolls have ugly faces which match their ugly behaviour.
