Accusations of Blackfishing: In May 2021, Jesy faced accusations of ‘Blackfishing,’ a term used to describe adopting elements of black culture. The controversy arose when social media users, some of whom initially thought she was a woman of colour, discovered that Jesy is white. This led to widespread discussions online. [2]Vogue
