Jesy Nelson, the former member of the British girl group Little Mix, has opened up about her battle with mental health issues in a new documentary series released on Amazon Prime. In the documentary, she shares her feelings of extreme loneliness and her unsuccessful suicide attempt. According to Nelson, she tried to communicate her distress to her fellow bandmates, but felt that Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, and Jade Thirlwall did not acknowledge her struggles, which contributed to her feeling isolated during her time with the group.

Nelson left Little Mix in 2020, a decision that she says came during her recovery from an overdose, while she was hospitalized. She described the overwhelming sadness she felt, stating that she realized she could not continue with the band once she was released from the hospital, as her mental well-being had significantly deteriorated. Her departure marked a significant moment in her life, underscoring the impact of mental health challenges in the music industry and the need for more support for artists facing similar issues.

In the documentary, Nelson also mentions that her former bandmates reached out to her when she was expecting her twins, born in May of the previous year. This reconnection seems to reflect a change in their relationship dynamics, indicating that there is hope for healing and understanding among the members of Little Mix. Nelson's story highlights the importance of addressing mental health in a supportive environment and serves as a reminder of the challenges many artists face in the public eye.
