Now that Channing's new romance with Jessie has been all but confirmed, she's found herself being compared to his ex Jenna - and she's not happy.
In a lengthy post to Instagram, Jessie said that she was aware that people thought she looked like his ex and called on media outlets to stop asking 'who's prettier?' between them.
“I am so disappointed and embarrassed that my name is even involved. It’s not something I stand for, at all," Jessie wrote. “I am a woman that loves ALL women and will not stand quietly when the media is teaching young girls to constantly compare one another. "Do the media do it with men? No. Are women gaining a positive lesson from it? No."
Jessie admitted that she struggled with how she looked when she was younger and spent a long time "trying to be comfortable in my skin."
"I don't take stories like this lightly because I know the kind of impact it has on younger girls reading it "We are all beautiful. We are all enough just the way we are."While Jessie's message didn't mention Jenna directly, the actress responded to it on Twitter saying she had "nothing but respect" for her.
Positive vibes indeed.Beautiful message @JessieJ ❤️ #womensupportwomen #respect pic.twitter.com/Mgmp8swLMG
