I don't think the situation is comparable??? Jesy's been very public about her struggles and her suicide attempt, and how she loved her art and her bandmates but hated the perception and scrutiny. Also, Jesy's leaving hardly has the same abruptness or coldness that Zayn's did. You can feel her and her bandmates sadness, regret and friendship through it all.

If he IS right and Zayn left because of his own mental health struggles we aren't aware of, then he just sounds even more like an ass for downplaying it.

Conclusion: Irrelevant. As always.

zayn has talked about how his decision to leave was driven in part by his mental health struggles, and by how he felt creatively unfulfilled during his final years with the band. yeah there was a scandal, and i'm not implying it didn't influence his decision to leave so abruptly. i'm just saying in the years since he left we've gotten more insight into what drove that choice

He was caught with a blonde that wasn't Perrie when 1D was on their Asian leg of their final tour. Then he flew back to the UK and never came back.

Not comparable at all.

Setting aside the delulu fan reading of band friendships, Idt One Direction was even at the same level of friendship that the LM girls have. This didn't come out of nowhere.

Jesy has always been forthcoming about her awful experience with fame, and her friendship with the girls was always very much central to overcoming all of that and making it THIS far in their career together. That's why it's deeply saddening, because even in parting ways, the girls are doing it IN SUPPORT of one another, never in spite

Ugh you said it so well! The fact that no one even speculates there was a rift between the girls speaks to their maturity, friendship and how hard this decision was :( makes me even more feelsy!!
