On Wednesday, Jessie said she made her diagnosis public to help her process the news, and to show solidarity with others who are going through a similar experience

Singer Jessie J appeared to drop a huge hint about her cancer diagnosis last month.The Price Tag star, 37, shocked fans this week by revealing she has early stage breast cancer and is holding on to the word “early” and plans to undergo surgery after her performance at this month’s Summertime Ball. The revelation made her words at her intimate North London concert on May 20 seem all the more poignant and significant.

On Wednesday, Jessie said she made her diagnosis public to help her process the news, and to show solidarity with others who are going through a similar experience. “I just wanted to be open and share it, ” she expressed. “One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I’m not processing it because I’m working so hard.

“I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I’m an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse-that’s the bit that kills me.” She continued: “The timing of it has been mad but also beautiful and given me this incredible perspective in this time.

“But honestly I need to process it and talk about it and, I need a hug. You have loved me through all my good and hard times. And I don’t want this to be any different,” she concluded.

Just weeks earlier she told gig-goers at Union Chapel that she was putting herself first and wanted to have fun. Jessie said on stage: “I know we are all going through our own battles in life, we are all struggling in our own way. We talk about it sometimes, and sometimes we don’t.

“I’m grateful I have the voice and the strength to be able to put those experiences into songs that people can take and make them their own soundtrack to help them get through a tough time, a good time, a scary time.”

When she introduced her new single No Secrets, she also seemed to be referencing her cancer battle. Jessie said: “This song for me, more so than ever right now, is getting me through my life.”

Earlier this week, the former Voice UK coach told her 13.9 million Instagram followers: “Before No Secrets came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. I’m highlighting the word ‘early’ – cancer sucks in any form – but I’m holding on to the word ‘early’. I have been in and out of tests this whole period.”

No Secrets details Jessie’s ­relationship with fame and her heartbreaking 2021 ­miscarriage, which she has since spoken openly about. Jessie, who is performing at Wembley Stadium next Sunday, told fans she would then “disappear for a bit” to have surgery.

But the singer said that despite her diagnosis, she still feels like she has found her “happy ending”. Jessie and basketball player Chanan Colman welcomed their first child, son Sky, in May 2023.

Talking about her song Sunflower, which is yet to be officially released, Jessie said: “I wrote this song about my boy – the happiest boy in the world unless he hasn’t had enough snacks. He is the love of my life, the joy of my day… I jump out of bed at 5am to make him something to eat and then wait for him to wake up.

“I never thought I would live this life… I prayed for it for so long. The joy it brings me is overwhelming. I hope anyone who has that same feeling in their heart gets their happy ending. It’s magic.

A number of women have accused Jared Leto of acting inappropriately when they were teenagers, alleging that he exposed himself and made sexual remarks. Leto has refuted any accusations made against him.

In a report, several women have accused Jared Leto of “inappropriateness.” The 53-year-old American singer and actor has been gaining notoriety since the early 1990s.

He has appeared as the frontman of the rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars as well as in well-known TV shows like My So-Called Life and WeCrashed and in blockbusters like Blade Runner 2049 and Dallas Buyers Club. The star is now facing damaging accusations, which a spokesperson has refuted because she has been viewed as a Hollywood and chart superstar all over the world.

Nineteen women have accused the star of “behaving inappropriately” when they were teenagers, according to an investigation by Air Mail magazine, a luxury lifestyle magazine edited by former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter.

One woman claims that the actor approached her in a Los Angeles cafe when she was 16 years old and demanded her phone number. She claims that he called her “in the middle of the night” and attempted to trick her into attending a party, but she responded, adding, “I didn’t even have a driver’s license.”

The woman claims that he allegedly called her at one, two, three A. M. every time for the following three weeks, and that the conversation was described as “Turned sexual.” He might ask, “Have you ever had a boyfriend? ” Have you ever had a bad s**k?

A second woman claims that he once approached her at age 17 and that he once approached her when she was 16 and that he had previously allegedly had an “flirtatious” relationship with her.

A third, who was said to be having an “on-off affair” with the actor, said: “He’d be sweet, then suddenly really demeaning. It was a “switch”.

Another woman claims that the star masturbated at the age of 18 and exposed himself to her at his home. He claims to have spit on it when he told her.

Leto is accused of approaching younger women and asserts that he was “known” in Hollywood for liking younger women. Another woman cited the publication as saying, “I remember being so physically ill that I threw up when I passed billboards for his films,” and that she was wondering how everyone in L.A. knew.

Leto’s representatives have been contacted by The Mirror for comment. While Air Mail adds that a star’s representative in their report refutes any allegations made against him.

From 1999 to 2003, Leto was engaged to actress Cameron Diaz, with whom he dated from 1999 to 2003. They got married in 2000 before splitting up three years later.

From 2015 to 2022, he later dated Russian model Valery Kaufman. He has never been married, but he has previously had romantic relationships with several women, including Paris Hilton and Scarlett Johansson.
