Jesy Nelson was verbally abused by a furious woman after a huge row broke out over an item of clothing in a posh restaurant, it has been reported.
The 30-year-old former Little Mix star had just begun a night out at the swanky Chiltern Firehouse in London when she and her pals accidentally sat on another girl’s scarf, according to The Mirror.
The owner of the garment then confronted Jesy. While some have alleged she fought back in a ‘war of words’ with the angry girl, close friends of the singer have denied that she reacted to her.
An onlooker told The Sun: “A girl came up to them, kicking off about her scarf.
“They had sat on it without knowing. It was a bit awkward but things seemed to calm down quickly.”

But this calm appeared to be short lived she said, as the aggrieved woman then began shouting at Jesy, calling her a “f**king ho”.
The incident quickly “escalated”, resulting in “lots of shouting” from within their booth.
The witness added: “They had only been in the venue for ten minutes but it put a major dampener on the night.”
Once the situation had died down, Jesy apologised to staff at the Chiltern Firehouse.

“This girl verbally attacked Jesy who remained calm as she was enjoying a night out with friends. She was understandably shaken up by the whole thing. Jesy then apologised to the owner on the girls behalf and continues to be welcomed back at Chiltern Firehouse”.
“Jesy has even done documentaries on her experience of being targeted and this is just one more experience she has to deal with. It is relentless at the moment.”
