Little Mix's Jesy Nelson admits trolling has put her off having kids
Little Mix have constantly had to deal with trolling on social media, with Jesy Nelson making a heartbreaking and award-winning documentary about the bullying she faced last year.
Now the star has admitted that all the negativity has her considering whether she wants to have children or not.
In an interview with You magazine published over the weekend, Jesy said: "Before we got in the group, I never looked at myself and thought, 'I don't like that' – I don't think any of us did. I never thought, 'Oh god, I'm fat', and then we got in the industry, and we all started wanting to change things about ourselves...
"It makes me not want to have a kid. Those insecurities that we all have now because of social media, imagine having that embedded in you as a child?"
Leigh-Anne Pinnock continued: "There was a time when it was worse than it is now. I guess we're taking steps forward, but I fear for my [future] daughters..."
"It's so sad," Jesy added. "There are things [in the past] I definitely wish I hadn't done. But would I be the person I am today if I hadn't gone through all of that?"
