Jessie J said that someone told her that she looked pregnant, just five months after she announced in November 2021 that she had miscarried her child, which she had decided to have on her own.
In a post on her Instagram story on Thursday, the 34-year-old singer, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, urged her followers not to comment on other people's bodies or weight.
The singer recounted that someone had told her "you look pregnant," and asked her if she was, saying that the unnamed individual had knowledge of "what [she] went through last year." She also said that the person gave her their thoughts on how she should have handled the situation.
In November 2021, Cornish said on Instagram in a post that appears to have since been deleted that when she went in for a third scan during her pregnancy, she was told that there was no longer a heartbeat, People reported. In December, she said in another Instagram post that she had posted online about the miscarriage "just hours after [she] was told," and "reacted in work mode."

"I have never experienced physical pain and trauma or felt loneliness like [miscarriage]," she wrote in the post. "This has changed me forever. In the most heartbreaking, but beautiful way."
In her Thursday Instagram story post, according to E! News, Cornish said that she had gained ten pounds over the past six months, and may lose it, or may not.
"It might stay or it might not or I might gain more," she wrote. "Who cares?! I don't care as longa s I feel good and I'm healthy."
"Not cool to just say or comment on anyones body," she continued in her story post. "Unless they / I tell you or ask your opinion it's not one that's needed or helpful."
