“First of all, I want to thank everyone who has reached out with messages of support. I truly appreciate the kindness. I do want to clarify a few things. I was never planning to return under the current circumstances, and unfortunately I’m still unable to dance due to ongoing health issues. Because of that, the recent news was difficult for me,” she began.
“When rumors about the three girls began circulating, I did try to reach out privately for several months. I didn’t receive a response until the night before the announcement, which meant I didn’t have much time to prepare for the reaction that followed online. As many of you know, I’ve been grieving the loss of my mom while also dealing with a neurological condition where stress can trigger severe physical pain, so the intensity of the online response has been challenging.”
Jessica went on: “I found it ironic that the press release suggested we wanted ‘attention.’ The truth is, I wanted the exact opposite. The stress from situations like this causes real physical flare-ups for me. Do you think I want to be verbally attacked by strangers online? I simply would have appreciated a heads-up earlier so I could process everything privately and handle the situation with a bit more grace and dignity.”
“That said, I genuinely wish the girls a successful tour and nothing but the best moving forward. I’m grateful for the experiences and memories I had with PCD, and I’ll always hold that chapter of my life close to my heart,” she concluded.
“I’ve moved on with my life from Hollyweird and I know what’s most important. A loving family, good health, beautiful friendships, speaking your truth, lots of laughter & internal peace. And if we are really being honest, you can’t trip on what’s behind you. Good luck, ladies. All love. ❤️,” she also captioned the post.
Her bandmate, Carmit Bachar, also spoke out on social media about being left out of the reunion.
