Perrie Edwards Brands Jesy Nelson ‘Difficult’ in New Comments

Perrie Edwards has described her former Little Mix bandmate Jesy Nelson as “difficult”.

Jesy exited the girl group in December 2020, saying at the time that being in the public eye had taken a toll on her mental health.

Speaking on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, Perrie criticised Jesy for not taking responsibility for her own actions when she left the group.

"What annoys me is the most, and again I have to be careful how I say this as I don't want to seem like a b**ch, but for me, what upsets me the most is when situations like this happen, when the other person doesn't take any accountability, that boils my blood," Perrie said.

"I am not blaming everything on you, I am not saying that she's this f**king monster and everything was her fault and blah, blah, blah but take some accountability for your actions and realise you were difficult, you did have difficult moments."

After Jesy’s exit, Perrie, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall continued as a trio before eventually going their separate ways to focus on solo projects in 2022.

The 34 year old also claimed in her documentary Life After Little Mix earlier this year that she often felt isolated within the group and said the other members did not fully support her during her struggles.

Addressing those claims, Perrie, 32, pushed back and said the group did support Jesy.

"Don't put the blame on me and make me out to be something I am not. Yes, I am not perfect and I might not have been there enough or I could have done better I suppose," Perrie fumed.

"But I thought what I was doing was enough, I thought that I tried everything and so then to sit there in further interviews and discuss it publicly and be like, 'I wasn't supported', you were though... you were, so just, again, take some accountability."

Jesy has previously said she has not been in contact with the group since she left.

When asked whether a reunion with Jesy could ever happen, Perrie suggested it was very unlikely.

"Part of me wanted to (reconcile the friendship), until the documentary (came out), and then part of me withdrew again," she admitted.

"This is the thing: I am not a horrible person, I haven't got a band bone in my body, but I can cut you off. I can cut you out of my life like that, if you upset me and hurt me in a way, there's not really any going back," she continued. "I just don't have that the energy for it and as much as I will always love her I don't think I can hack that energy in my space."

Barfly Venue in London Returns to Historic Name With Frank Turner Exclusive Show

One of London’s most iconic grassroots venues is heading back to its original identity. The Camden Assembly, a North London live music space formerly known as The Barfly, is set to bring back its historic name after almost a decade under its current branding.

The change follows the venue’s acquisition by Propaganda Independent Venues, led by co founders Dan Ickowitz Seidler and Richard Buck, alongside co owner Chris McCormac.

The relaunch will begin with a performance from British artist Frank Turner on June 22. Ticket registration opens June 15 at 9 a.m. BST, with entry limited to fans who sign up in advance. Full details are available via the venue’s official Barfly Camden Instagram page.

Located on Chalk Farm Road in Camden, the 200 capacity venue has played a key role in London’s live music history since the 1980s, when it first operated as The Monarch. It later became The Barfly in the early 2000s, earning a reputation as a crucial launching pad for emerging artists, with early shows from acts like Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, The xx, and a four night residency from Ed Sheeran.

The space was rebranded as Camden Assembly in 2016 after a change in ownership and refurbishment. The new management says restoring the Barfly name is part of an effort to reconnect the venue with its legacy and cultural significance.

In a statement, Ickowitz Seidler said: “Barfly means so much to us all, and we’re honoured to begin a new chapter in its story. We’ll be announcing more special shows soon, but Frank Turner is the perfect artist to relaunch the Barfly stage. He embodies everything Barfly stands for.”

He added: “I hope live music fans will come out and support not just Barfly, but grassroots venues across the country. Before many of today’s biggest artists were filling arenas, they played at Barfly. You could be watching the next headliner on that stage any night.”

According to Access All Areas, the venue’s new owners also plan to introduce a Wall of Fame showcasing photos and memorabilia, along with blue plaques honoring key artists from its history. The revived Barfly is also expected to include a vinyl listening bar inspired by Tokyo’s listening culture.
