Jessie J has removed some photos from Instagram after they sparked controversy in her comments section.
The singer posted a series of baby bump photos of herself in the bath, captioning it: “I just want to remember this feeling forever.”

TRIGGER WARNING: This article discusses miscarriage.
Jessie J, whose real name is Jessie Cornish, announced her pregnancy in January.
“I am so happy and terrified to share this… Please be gentle with me,” she originally wrote alongside her baby news.
The pregnancy came after Jessie experienced a miscarriage, which she shared with fans in November 2021. The 35-year-old has also been open about her fertility struggles, telling fans in 2018 that she would not be able to have children. Her song, Four Letter Word, was written about her fertility struggles.
Since her pregnancy announcement, the singer has continued her candid relationship with fans, sharing intimate updates of her pregnancy journey, including morning sickness footage and tired and teary confessions.
Her latest photos, however, appear to have rubbed some the wrong way.
The Instagram gallery featured two images of the singer in the bath, her bump rising above the water, plus a video of the baby kicking, which was visible through her bump.
Some labelled the photos “inappropriate” while others ranted, “who wants to see that?”, to which the singer responded: “Anyone who has commented ‘inappropriate’ on this post, I bet you zoomed before you commented.”
Fans showed their support for the singer, with many pointing out “it’s natural”.
“Our bodies are BEAUTIFUL and carry beautiful little babies too,” another fan commented.
However, despite those rushing to her defence, the singer has since removed the post.
Jessie is expecting her first child with her partner, professional basketballer Chanan Safir Colman. The pair have been together for at least a year, and were first formally linked in April 2022.
On an Instagram post featuring a sonogram of their baby, Jessie stated:
“I love your Daddy so much, you wouldn’t be on your way without him. He is the most patient, calm and good looking man. You are going to LOVE him when you meet him.”
