Rubika Liyaqat has shared this “full video” asking people to not share half cut video. But, the problem is she doesn’t even understand her mistake in the video. She thinks using the term “percentage” instead of “km” was the only issue of her criticism. Actually, the issue is of... show more

![We clearly have a different view of the Instagram Live and the fact that Jesy has never even VAGUELY distanced herself from what Nicki said about Leigh-Anne in the 5 years since. Jesy was also happy to throw Leigh under the bus and ONLY didn’t continue talking about her because she was cut off by Nicki. When Jesy WAS talking, she acted like it was the responsibility of the women of colour in Little Mix to educate her about blackfishing, while simultaneously acting irritated that they’d tried to (which, contrary to what Nicki said, happened BEFORE she decided to leave the group). She singled out Leigh-Anne for raising the issue with her (a year prior), despite Little Mix alleging that they’d ALL tried to help inform her about blackfishing “in a very friendly, educational manner.” She downplayed the blackfishing issue regardless, exposed her ignorance, and didn’t take any accountability or apologise once. She essentially tried to gaslight people that her skin tone and wig texture have always been “natural”, despite all of the evidence that this isn’t the case. (If it’s true that she’s so naturally tan, where has her tan gone now?) She acted like her curly wig and tan in the ‘Boyz’ music video were the only issue, therefore dodging criticism of her other instances of blackfishing, and ignoring the arguable racism in the lyrics and video – saying “Diddy saw the video and HE accepted it, HE didn’t have a problem with it.” (If she thought the colour of his skin added weight to his opinion, why didn’t she value Leigh-Anne’s?) She talked about how “hard” it was for HER and how much it “really hurt” HER that people of colour “may have” been offended by the video and song, but if she truly DID care about offending people of colour, she’d have simply listened to them (and her bandmates of colour) in the year(s) prior and never released the song/video in the first place. By singling out Leigh-Anne on the Instagram Live, she treated this like some sort of trivial, tit-for-tat issue and not a loaded racial issue. Not only that, but issues that impacted Leigh while they were in Little Mix together, which Jesy had been made well aware of. But ultimately, she took offence to Leigh-Anne’s offence, and decided that her feelings mattered more than her Black bandmate’s. I don’t know if all of this is because Jesy doesn’t care enough about racial issues to accept criticism and accountability, or if she’s just truly too ignorant to understand, no matter how hard people have tried to educate her. And unfortunately we still don’t know, because she didn’t address the topic satisfactorily in her documentary either, instead just saying she was unaware what she was doing was offensive (“If I had known that was how it [‘Boyz’] was going to ‘play out’, never in a million years would I have put it out. It actually breaks my heart that it, like, upset people.”) This is despite it being well established that her bandmate(s), fans and journalists had made her aware beforehand – just for her to repeatedly plead the same obliviousness she’s feigning now. She does go on to claim that she “learned a lot” from the “controversy” (“It’s just sad. It’s just one of them things, and I’ve learnt a lot from it”) – but doesn’t seem to consider the topic worthy enough to warrant a discussion of what exactly she learned from the experience (other than it teaching her that the music industry is, much like her former spray tans, “quite dark”.)
