The former Seduction member discussed Nicki Minaj’s recent stint as a judge on the reality competition series, when she compared the ‘genuine and honest’ rapper, 37, to ‘standoffish superstars like Jessie’.
Michelle told Gay Times: ‘When superstars come in, you don’t know what you’re going to get. You don’t know if they’re going to be standoffish, not nice, a total cold person like Jessie J was to us when we did the tour in Australia. But Nicki? She was amazing.’
Insisting she’s standing by her comments, the brunette added: ‘I don’t care if you put that in there. It wasn’t nice’, before complimenting her vocals: ‘Let me tell you, there’s few voices that could hold up to hers. That b***h can sang. It made me sad, which is why I don’t want to meet Madonna. I don’t want to be let down!’
The mother-of-two, who shares her daughters Lillie, 19, and Lola, 17, with husband David Case, did not specify when she first crossed paths with the talented musician.

In wake of their most recent break-up, an insider added: ‘Jessie and Channing really care for each other. You only need to look at the gushing posts they made about each other during their relationship to see that.
‘That’s why they wanted to give their romance another shot, but sadly it hasn’t worked out.
