Jesy Nelson's sister Jade faces blackfish charges after the release of her new music video, so she has expressed her support for her sister.
Jade, 34, broke her silence and shared a post on Instagram about people "bullying" her sister, which appeared to be mocking her former band member Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
Jesy was lashed out at Leigh-Anne, who accused her of "blackfish" in a leaked Instagram message — a term used to describe a white man trying to show black ancestry.
In the post, she wrote: "When bullies deliberately and despicablely start hurting someone, they never thought they would be caught.
That's why they're trying to get other people to do it for them. "However, when they are exposed and the victim simply stands up for himself, the bully quickly tries to turn things around and hold the victim accountable." That's what bullies do. She continued: "I was taught never to be intimidated by bullies, but to stand up for myself when I was wronged.
"My sister has been a target of bullying throughout her career.
