In an interview with a leading news portal, Jessica opened saying that John thought that was what she wanted to be called at that time. She also expressed that she was floored and embarrassed when her grandmother actually read that interview where John made that comment on her.

She added that he was the most loyal person on the planet and when she read that statement she decided that's it for her. She erased his number and all that made it easy for her to walk away.
