The trio revealed they had talked about blackfishing with Jesy prior to her exit from the band.
for a recent interview in which they briefly touched upon the controversy surrounding their former bandmate. Though the trio admitted they did not wish to discuss Jesy’s situation in detail, they did comment on blackfishing in general and why it should not be a foreign term for Jesy.
“We don’t really want to dwell, because we have so much to celebrate as a three,” Jade told the publication before saying that “capitalizing on aspects of Blackness without having to endure the daily realities of the Black experience is problematic and harmful to people of color.” She added that: “We think it’s absolutely not OK to use harmful stereotypes. There’s so much to say on that subject that it’s hard to sum up in a sound bite.
Jade also shared that, as a trio, Little Mix had dealt with the situation “in the best way that we know how,” relying on each other to help navigate it all. “We don’t want to talk about the video, or be critical, but one thing we will clarify regarding the blackfishing situation is that Jesy was approached by the group in a very friendly, educational manner,” she finally said.
