Leigh-Anne Pinnock , 24, performed at Carnival 2026 in Salvador, Brazil on Thursday after ex-bandmate Jesy Nelson laid bare the mystery behind her Little Mix departure 

In her new documentary Jesy (pictured) claimed her bandmates Leigh-Anne, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall ignored her cries in the lead up to her taking an overdose 

Jesy explained: 'I was so sad. I was so down. I knew after coming out of hospital that I mentally couldn't do it [be in the band] any more.

Speaking about the painful breakdown of Little Mix days before she tried to take her own life, Jesy said: 'I sat everyone down to explain how I was feeling and I remember one of the responses being, "Are you done now? Is that it?"

'She [one of the girls] was like, "Can I go now?" That made me feel really alone. I felt like there was no point. That no one cared.'

It was Jesy's mother Janice who raised the alarm after Jesy fell unconscious while on the phone to her.

Janice explained: 'For a few days before, she had just been really down and not talking much. She wanted to be on her own quite a lot. 

'I got a gut feeling that something wasn't right. I kept ringing and ringing, but there was no answer. She eventually answered the phone and the way she talking was really slurry.

'I heard the phone drop and didn't hear anything else - I knew she'd done something.'

, Janice said the band 'wasn't there' for Jesy.

Jesy left the group in 2020 due to feeling 'trapped and miserable' for much of her time in Little Mix (pictured in 2011)

Speaking about the breakdown of Little Mix days before she tried to take her own life, Jesy said: 'I sat everyone down to explain how I was feeling and they said, "Are you done now? Is that it?"'

Jesy said: 'I think they felt really hurt about that and it should never have played out like that. I didn't get my opportunity to explain why I couldn't do this anymore. I feel mad that that was taken away from me.'

She continued: 'I got myself up mentally and was like, right, I want to have a chat with the girls now, I wanna chat to them and tell them why, I did what I did, like how I've been feeling. Just really explain to them, try to make them understand how I was feeling. 

'And then my manager called, and she was like, "so I've spoke to the girls and they are happy to chat to you, but they don't feel comfortable being in a room with you unless there is a therapist there".

'I just remember being like, "what? I've just come out of hospital, like this is the time I need you the most".

'I don't know, I just didn't feel like they were my sisters.'

Jesy explained: 'Eventually there was a phone call. It was really awkward and so weird. It was like talking to strangers. It was the most uncomfortable phone call of my life. No one knew what to say.

'And that's the last time I ever spoke to them as a group. It's been five years now and every time I think about it, I think, was it them or was it the management? I'll never know.'
