Vocal sensation Jessie J has taken to her official Twitter page to hit back at the people who have been sending her negative messages after she declared that her period of bisexuality was merely 'a phase'. 

During a revealing interview with The Mirror newspaper this week, the 'Do It Like A Dude' star explained that she is no longer bisexual and now only finds herself attracted to men: “For me, it was a phase. But I’m not saying bisexuality is a phase for everybody."

Following this admission, she was hit with a wave of online abuse and took to her social media site, where she posted an extensive message about the situation. It reads: "I never lied about my sexuality, I never labelled myself, the media and some of the public did. I said almost 5 years ago now. I have dated girls and boys."

"I'm not looking for sympathy I am just being real. And yeah, I have learnt to keep things private the hard way because of this exact reason. So I keep my relationships private now. To keep my sanity. I put it into songs not articles that can be edited. I apologise to anyone who is offended by me calling dating girls a "phase" but I have to be honest with me for me. And for me it was. What else do I call it if I no longer have a want for it anymore? I'm talking for me remember. Not you. I didn't generalise, I didn't say bisexuality isn't real. It is for some and some people grow up dating both men and woman forever. And that's ok. And some don't. Simple."

The sensation added: "I am only singing about loving a man and being broken hearted by a man. Because I only date men. I want my music to come out and people understand where it's coming from, and for me not to feel guilty when people are painting a picture of me when the brush isn't in my hand. I took the brush back. I have always been true, and honest. Which is so rare in this industry. I will admit maybe not always gone about it the right way but hey I'm still new to all of this too remember. I ask that you support my music."
