Here is a statement from Pinnock about the experience:
“It was a complex and painful thing to come to terms with. We all felt it, that pain and sadness. The whole thing felt like a weird break-up, and I wasn’t prepared for it."
“I wasn’t prepared for the intensity of those emotions. The whole thing was abrupt and sad and then it was messy, which made it even more painful.”

Pinnock also revealed how the girls had all become family and they found Jesy‘s exit traumatizing and they had to all go to therapy after.
“I’ve been to therapy during the course of my career. When we decided to pause Little Mix, I felt compelled to go back. We all did. We were a family, the four of us were like sisters, and we had been that way since we were teenagers, so it’s not an over-exaggeration to say that losing a member was a traumatic experience. When you have felt so much love and support with another person over such a long time and then that suddenly disappears you never fully get to understand why, it hurts.”
“Therapy helped me, helped all of us, process what had happened and manage the emotions that came with it. All of that messiness is now so far behind me that it’s not even worth commenting on. We have moved forwards into something even brighter and stronger.”
