Odd one out.

Watched Odd one out on BBC1 earlier, was so upsetting to see how much stuff Little Mix Jesy Nelson has endured over the years. She tried to take her own life in 2013 after reading comments on SM calling her all sorts. I would never of imagined Jesy to struggle with confidence issues or severe Mental Health problems. She is so confident and quite fiesty in interviews, i was genuinely sad for her.

I would hate to be famous, your whole life looked at and speculated through a lens, people calling her out for their stage outfits, singing, body, partners. I think she is a beautiful woman and i am so glad she spoke out and brought awareness to those who think celebs live the perfect life. Well done Jesy!

I watched it earlier and got very emotional. I cannot even fathom what it must feel like to be slated like she was. I know how upset I feel when someone I know says something about me behind my back and I find out...... multiply that feeling by a few thousand and I can see why it becomes totally soul destroying .

I do think that documentary should be shown in schools to drum it home just how cruel bullying is.

I thought she was great for making that documentary and bearing her journey for everyone. She is a lovely girl. I was glad she started to be kinder on herself.

I don't agree with the mantra that you have to be on social media though-its your choice how you spend your time. Maybe I am older though.

Jesy is lovely and has such a confident powerful stage presence, i knew she was struggling, i have seen the comments on SM. Very sad especially when she visited Sians parents. I cried then. Poor poor girl taking her life. I hope Jesys sees herself the way we see her. I adore her.
