[For those of you keeping score, that's a red flag]
We know that from around June 2022 until around April of 2023 Jess was always with Jamie. No matter where he went or what he was doing, he was always with Jamie.
So she founded the Ice Studios collective with Renell in 2021 (even though by all accounts Renell herself had already founded Ice Studios by herself in 2017 before Jess even met her). In one of Jess’s interviews, she says when she met Renell she told her boss that they had to rep her.
Which doesn’t make sense because at what point did she really have a boss? By 2016 she was director at Donna Management so you’d think that she’d have just been able to sign Renell herself. What boss is she talking about? Not to mention this would have also been in the UK so not sure why Renell would have wanted to be repped in the UK since she works out of the US.
Whatever the case here is, it doesn’t seem that whenever this meeting happened she was actually successful in repping Renell because by the point she started her own business in the announcement it only says that Jess will be representing Justine Skye (or more accurately people such as Justine Skye) but it doesn’t go on to list a bunch of names like you think it would if she had a bunch of high profile clients and Renell should have been on that list because allegedly, according to Jess, Renell is the “whole reason she started her own company”.
The first evidence we have of Jess actually being around Renell is in 2019 at that party. Not saying they couldn’t have met before that but I don’t think she was super involved with much of anything to do with Renell until that point because it was only after that point that she seemed to get off her arse and do something to make Ice Studios Happen. Then she bragged about it for maybe a year on Instagram stealing photos and randomly adding the Ice Studios hashtag to them even though Ice Studios couldn’t have had anything to do with the pictures Lily-Rose Depp was posting to her Instagram.
After that point, we know that she was just with Jamie. All the time. Everywhere he went. For everything. She documented basically every single second of it on social media. So for a period of a year we know she couldn’t have been working at Ice Studios or doing much for Ice Studios. At most, she was making some phone calls and maybe sending some emails but she was obviously way more preoccupied with being around Jamie, being seen with Jamie, making sure everyone knew she was with Jamie, and establishing her own fandom out of Jamie’s fans.
April of 2023 was the last convention she attended with Jamie. She also stopped traveling with him to film. Don’t believe for one second that she wouldn’t have posted all over the place if she was with him when he went to France, Hong Kong, or Memphis. We know that she couldn’t have possibly been there because she didn’t post and there’s no photos of them there together (like they used to do when they traveled). There’s also no photos of her in any other places like going to New York to do any actual work, at an office, visiting with any other friends, attending events or award shows (which she surely should have been invited to some since one of her alleged clients, Quil Lemons) definitely was at a few.
Then Complexcon happened, which she promoted once. She didn’t show up to work at it or bother to see her “best friend” and business partner Renell. Which there isn’t any excuse for because this happened in her own state she could have driven to the location and worked there every single day. Yet, we see literally none of that because it didn’t happen. Renell managed to fly in from New York to work there but Jess couldn’t even get in her car to do it. She just stayed in Jamie’s house making cooking videos and waiting for Jamie to come back.
During the holidays they posted their Holiday greetings late and it wasn’t a photo of them together just a photo that Jamie allegedly took of her holding some pastries she allegedly made and a photo she took of him in his kitchen. Then nothing until a few days later where she spams Instagram with several stories of her snowboarding (no Jamie). A few days after that she posts a few uncomfortable photos of Jamie in her story and Jamie posts one or two in his. She posts a collection of photos from that trip to her IG for NYE but Jamie only posts one and doesn’t bother to post any of Jess.
As we can establish from this entire time period:
She was not doing any hard work for or with Ice Studios whatsoever because she was either with Jamie or at his house and this can be proven via her own posts and social media. The most work she could have been doing for Renell are things like:
Calling clients/businesses and trying to get Renell work (though it’s debatable how much she got Renell any work because Renell has her own connections and probably does fine without Jess repping her or taking a cut but somehow Jess convinced Renell to give her money anyway).
Sending some emails to some people (who knows how many or what she was even doing with that because what can she do and who does she know that Renell doesn’t know?) It also seems to me Renell is known enough by enough people that they probably would have reached out independently to her for work.
Signing off on some projects, maybe. I don’t think Jess was ever part of the creative process as she claims. I think Renell probably told Jess “This is what I’m going to do and what it’s going to be like” and Jess said, “That sounds like a good idea, go do that” then went back to her Jamie stalking or lurking around his house.
Then suddenly 2024 comes in. Jess is quiet for a lot of it, and Jamie doesn’t acknowledge her on Valentine’s day at all. She’s not been seen with him for months. He basically doesn’t act like she exists or he wants to be seen with her.
By April he puts out new music. She doesn’t promote it. Her only comments on it were a few random emojis and the “SO SICK ❤️❤️” comment on the video post (none of which he replied to). At the same time, his music video drops she’s in New York with her “besties” getting drunk and hanging out with them for like a week. She’s also making sure everyone knows it by posting pictures of it. Then she drops a video interview where she says something about Social Media being toxic, filming the interview in a hallway for no reason, where she’s interrupted at least once by a loud squawking bird and then at another point an extremely loud truck/car motor. Seems odd she didn’t have a better place to do that interview where it would have looked more professional or quiet, you know, like an office.
Finally, she leaves her house, after definitely not doing any significant work whatsoever for Renell or Ice Studios (but taking tonnes of credit for it) just so she can appear at an awards ceremony.
In all of this timeline, which we know she wasn’t working with Renell directly, doing any hard work, doing anything whatsoever, what exactly is it that the Jess stans think she’s so great for? Moral support? Telling Renell she was a “good photographer” but never bothering to visit her or help out with anything pertaining to half the business she owns? Not promoting the sample sale? Being erased from the Ice Studios website?
All of this is so extremely and utterly convenient for Jess. Putting out this interview to claim she doesn’t like social media (which is a lie because she does and she keeps using it to share her life and make sure people know she’s left the house and can do things without Jamie). Her narrative seems more like a cover story for why she doesn’t have photos with Jamie anymore, but not the truth. As for whatever the fuck is going on with Renell we know she couldn’t have possibly been that integral to Renell’s success and we know that Ice Studios as a business has only declined over the two years or so Jess did literally nothing but follow Jamie around or sit in his house and do nothing. She doesn’t even have an office to work out of.
There’s no way this woman has a huge list of “clients” she’s managing with how her lifestyle is. There’s no way this woman is doing hard work for anything. What this woman is doing (if she has more clients than Renell) is probably overcharging a lot of gullible people for her “service” of making a phone call or two to get them work (if she’s even doing that much). It’s questionable what she even does for income but if she is doing anything with any clients (that she doesn’t even have a registered license to do in California) it’s not a lot and it’s not making her a millionaire. We also know that so we’d also have to question where she’s getting all this money. Not only to travel but to get $400 dollar haircuts, all this skincare crap she promoted in that interview, maintenance on her severely botoxed face, tattoo upkeep, and her designer clothing. The only real answer is that Jamie is the one taking care of her the most which would probably explain why he’s killing himself to do conventions because she’s leeching off of him like he’s a never-ending fountain of money.
Everyone knows all of this to be the case because we could see it happening and yet everyone also wants to ignore all of this because Jess showed up at one award show in 2 years of not doing anything to “support” Renell without looking at the bigger picture.
Why are people ignoring that this change is very sudden, it’s out of character, and that the most likely reason she’s doing it is to prove something and not because she’s genuine in her motives at all? I don’t know or understand what’s going on but we can’t blatantly ignore her selfish and lazy behaviour before this point either and jump to the conclusion that Jess has always just been this way. No, she hasn’t. She’s been doing nothing for over two years then suddenly decided to do one thing and make it appear as if she has a life outside of Jamie. It’s shameless self-promotion. It’s not who she is or how she is or she’d have been like this all along.
