Perrie Edwards has spoken about her "difficult" relationship with former Little Mix bandmate, Jesy Nelson.
The singer opened up about this while appearing on Jamie Laing's podcast, Great Company, where she discussed Nelson's departure from the band in 2020, with Nelson saying at the time that being part of the group had "taken a toll on my mental health".
In her chat with Laing, Edwards claimed that Nelson was "difficult" to work with.
“Sometimes you just won’t win with people. I don’t want to seem like a bitch, but what upsets me the most is when the other person doesn’t take accountability. That boils my blood", Edwards told Laing.
“I’m not blaming everything on you,” she continued. “I’m not saying she’s this f****** monster, and everything was her fault, but take some accountability for your actions and realize that you were difficult, you had difficult moments. Granted, there was reasons for those moments, but you can only pick somebody up so many f****** times before you start losing track of your own sanity".
Edwards went on say that she had tried to support Nelson, but insisted that it was no good if “they can’t accept the help and the love you’re trying to show", adding: “I could have done better I suppose, but I thought what I was doing was enough,” she added. “I thought I tried everything. So then to sit there in interviews and be like ‘I wasn’t supported’… you were, though".
When asked by Laing if she would like to patch things up with Nelson, Edwards replied: “Part of me wanted to until the documentary, and then part of me withdrew again. If you upset me and hurt me in a way there’s not really any going back, I can forgive, but I don’t want you in my space”.
Elsewhere in this chat on Laing's podcast, Perrie Edwards have an honest account of her "hellish" break up with ex fiancé, Zayn Malik.
The former couple met during Edward's time on The X Factor in 2011. They went public with their relationship in 2012, and were engaged for almost two years, before splitting up in 2015,
"When you go through heartbreak, it is hellish. You can't eat. You can’t sleep. You feel horrendous", Edwards told Laing. "You feel abandoned and you don’t feel good enough, and you feel like you’ve been left for something better, or whatever it is".
