Nelson started writing the note with how it all started with The X Factor, which brought them to light; selling out the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena in London; thanking her fans for making it all possible.
“You have always been there for me to support and encourage me and I will never ever forget it,” she wrote for her fans.
Jesy mentioned the reason she decided to quit because of the strain on her mental health. She further explained: “I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard.”
At the end of her note, she thanked her three group mates: Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock. “I hope that you’ll continue to fulfill all of your dreams and keep on making music that people love.”
The fellow groupmates also announced her decision on social media, supporting their departing groupmate. “This is an incredibly sad time for all of us but we are fully supportive of Jesy.
