OlderLiam Payne Compares Jesy Nelson's Little Mix Exit To Zayn Malik's One Direction Exit
Liam Payne is speaking out about Jesy Nelson‘s recent announcement that she’s leaving Little Mix.
The 27-year-old “Naught List” singer compared her exit to that of Zayn Malik‘s split from One Direction.
“Someone Zayn‘d out,” Liam said during a TikTok live. “No, no. Let’s be serious about this. It’s always sad at this moment in time when bands get into that sort of thing. Having been there myself, I felt that Zayn left for pretty much the same reason in a weird way.”
“I wish Jesy all the best. I wish the girls all the best for carrying on as a three,” he continued. “It’s a tough time and I do feel for them because everyone is watching in that little fishbowl at the moment and no one really understands what’s going on or how it feels for some people.”
Jesy announced on Monday in a letter to fans that she was leaving Little Mix due to the toll it was taking on her mental health. The rest of the group also released a statement, showing full support for their now former bandmate.
