Jessie took responsibility for sending mixed messages with her post, writing: "I added the [fingers-crossed emoji] in thinking people would understand, and clearly a lot didn't. A weird situation. My fault for not being clearer."
The singer explained that she just got out of surgery a few nights before the time of her post, and treating cancer is no child's play. Most importantly, the star informed fans that getting a clear verdict on the state of her health post-surgery would not happen after a few days.
