'Bang Bang' singer Jessie J clarified her controversial statements on bisexuality, In an interview with Billboard Magazine. The British diva got into some hot water last April when she called her bisexuality a phase. Unfortunately, Jessie played into the "bisexaulity is a phase" myth taking to Twitter to say, “Remember the thing that you tried/did back in the day. The phase you had? That is so not YOU anymore?! And you look back and think wow how I've changed. I would never do that now. Something that you don't even talk about or want to talk about anymore. Because you've moved on? That was just part of you growing up? Discovering yourself and working out what you liked and disliked.... Remember?”

It seems that Jessie just got a better understanding of her sexuality and in the process of self-identifying, accidentally made statements that were offensive to those who actually identify as bisexual. But it doesn't seem that Jessie will make that mistake again. In her clarification Jessie said: "I'm a talker; I wear my heart on my sleeve. But sometimes I just have to know when to shut up." The songstress is going to keep mum on sexuality in the future and perhaps that's for the best.
