“my body’s my temple” never loved a quote so much in my life

[@joannaflores7483]

Her body is God’s temple. Not hers.

[@austcorn]

@@joannaflores7483 well she said she comes from a catholic family but she has Buddhist beliefs and there is no god in Buddhism

[@Kushninja93]

Joanna Flores get that wack Religious BS outta here, I don’t see gods signature on every womens body no disrespect to Catholicism, but a womens body is a womens body nobody elses. And saying her body is a temple is rooted from the teachings of Buddism.

[@Kushninja93]

@THE GIFTED POET Don't tell me to calm down if you didn’t understand my previous comment you knober not to mention I also said “ no disrespect towards....” , but since you didn’t understand I'm saying ppl slap religious b.s on topics like a women's body, GOD or whatever has nothing to do when it comes to your body and the choices you make with it is all on your own actions ( maybe the idea being grateful for god or whatever for making you on this earth is one thing but to rule out the logic of the human mind vs religious mumbo jumbo is irrelevant here). And the last comment was simply stating her mindset of " my body is a temple " is rooted from the teachings of Buddhism even of she was raised catholic why should it matter what faith and stuff she believes in even if that religion has no god? If she benefits from personal growth from buddism who are we to judge? Just like a women does with her body.

[@Kushninja93]

@THE GIFTED POET And FYI I have no issue with religion and have some form of respect for religion but not when people use it in ways to manipulate and instill emotional and mental fear in people like sheep’s.

Shoutout to the driver for being a real one

[@generic_ornament]

Yeeeah, but only sorta. He didn't actually DO anything, or say anything to the person he should've, which is the rapist, if you read about the other women...Jessie is "lucky," and I put that in quotations because no one who goes through this is, but he is a full on rapist, and in that sense, that it wasn't any worse, she is. The driver should have actually done something, but I also get the position he may have been in. But men need to step up too when they see something like that.

This is exactly why I want to become a Music Producer. We need a lot more trust worthy people in this music industry. Not more gatekeepers. Your voice should get closer to your goal not your sinful acts or their satisfaction of lust. And the fact that they know that everything you want is in their hands, it's literally them juggling your heart and slowly turning your dream into a nightmare. It's a very fucked up industry game they play. In the end. In the words of Logic. "Stop thinking that these labels can put you on. You can do it all on your own."

“Figures” has popped up in my suggestions so many times - and I’ve played it each time I’ve seen your face and loved the twang of your voice that allows listeners to feel what you’re intending them to feel. But God 👆🏻 knows when we need to see and hear certain things…And tonight was the night that I had the urge to listen deeper; to look at more tracks vs continuing on with whatever the next suggestion would’ve been. God used you to speak to me tonight 🫶🏼 Thank You. I can only imagine how many people, how many hearts, this short film has spoken to since it was originally posted. I 100% fell in love with mid-20s you telling the truth; telling your truth. And I’m only a few years older than you, but watching you down yourself after that car scene, then again for following that douche back into the house and then telling yourself, “that’s that dumb shit. Young dumb shit, naïve shit,” - I was sitting here on my living room floor, feeling all of your feelings, 10-15 years older than you were when that happened because, as women, we know that shit like that happens all the time. All at once, this video gave me anxiety and rage, and I knew exactly why you were shrinking yourself in the car and apologizing because you were afraid and alone in a situation that you have no control of and I felt that fear - but also the mama in me came out and I was talking to the screen each time you dogged yourself out, like, “no baby-that’s OK. no, you’re OK. don’t talk to yourself like that. 🖕🏼that dude”. …but I was also talking to me. I guess I’m ranting on here because it’s anonymous. But because it’s anonymous I’m just going to rant my little heart out because no one’s probably gonna read this anyway 🤓 and if they do, I hope they benefit from it somehow. God put a couple of my best friends in my path the passed couple days and I have reflected on how I speak to them during their troubles, just like how I spoke to you, a stranger, through a video….because I know exactly what that feels like to have a man be that way- I’m going through the growing pains of it now in this very moment. And I don’t think it has anything to do with being young, or dumb, or even naïve Even the smartest person in the world can be fooled by a trickster, especially if that trickster sees how big your heart is. Often our hearts are manipulated to gain access to our bodies. But to you, and every other woman, it doesn’t make us dumb, it just means we want to believe in people. And don’t feel bad baby, I went back in the house too. Ladybug, I’m so proud of you!I’m so proud of you as a woman and a mother and a sister. I’m so proud of you and thank you for being one of the three women that God has used in the past 24 hours to remind myself, that I need to speak to myself the same way That I would any other woman who is hurting. and that as a woman, I am very much so capable of accomplishing what I need to, and want to accomplish without selling myself short. I pray you have happiness and a life of peace, and that you continue to show little girls that they can get exactly where they want to go without breaking their own hearts. My little girl needs women like you to speak their truth. I need women like you to speak their truth. So five years later, thank you for doing so ☮️ 🕊️💟

Jay-Z is no gatekeeper. He's the real deal. plus she didn't know the guy. Who don't know Jay-Z?? So obviously it wasn't him.

[@shadysantoss]

@@livb2558 He is

[@AlexanderT.A.G]

Not all of us look a like

[@steavey301]

The main dude tryin to get her....he looks NOTHING like JayZ lol

[@erikajgonzalez]

Great Story!!! There's Gatekeepers but there's also Guardian Angels!!! Jesus is King. Look at her now!

[@lynntrannguyen]

It's crazy I saw her busking at Yonge and Dundas 4 years ago and now she's become so successful! You represent Toronto, Canada so well! Keep going at it! I love your music!

[@J.Moyine]

As a singer and artist and songwriter who was previously part of the music industry I can confirm that this is the reality. Almost every producer I worked with was inviting me to come to their hotel room anytime we were performing at a venue together. Every music video director I worked with I experienced extreme abuse and sexual harassment from. And don't even get me started on how music labels and publishing houses and mgmt treat their artists. It's taken me five years to heal from alot of that shit and it almost killed my love for music completely (and I've been performing as a singer, pianist and cellist and classical trained artist since I was 8 BTW. This dream has been with me a very very long time, and it has taken years to heal the abuse that was endured). Thank goodness us artists can now do our own thing and build an audience and a career without having to suffer some of the hideous and traumatic concequence that come alongside wanting to fulfil this particular sort of dream.

[@marcusgarcia33]

God this girl gives me chillsss....I love everything about her omg ...marry me.

[@larissaberry4560]

This made me cry. Jessie you’re so strong and you will get where you want to be. I believe in you. Stay strong. Lysm xx

[@TheLinasmom]

This has ZERO to do with attraction. It has EVERYTHING to do with POWER DYNAMICS. Keep Grinding like you have been. You're already a star.

[@thesassynerd]

Don't tell me she's not bold. This woman is everything and inspiring, go on babe. We love you 🙏💪❤

[@itsrodiggityyo9946]

This woman is so underrated that it hurts my soul. & for her to come forward & make this song in the first place...she seriously deserves all of the love & respect in the world! Glad to see someone so talented actually making something of themselves while exposing how they tried making her sell her soul to get to where she is. But stood her ground & made it her own damn way! Amazing 🖤

[@KovenNahvi]

Levels upon levels upon levels of respect to you Jessie 💯 😍 👏

[@andreco.471]

the first time i saw the official video i understand all of this and i was so sad some tears fall and i was like poor baby girl i love her so much and i'm so proud that you keep what you want in your head until now, you cried that day and now you're proud of making this choice that day! you're a real person with conviction AND I'M PROUD TO NAME MYSELF A FAN OF JESSIE REYEZ AND FROM SWITZERLAND BIICCCH (that's why i had so bad english lol) keep doing what you do and one day the ENTIRE world would know you baby you are so precious and i'm so excited to see what next you gonna show us

[@ImFatalistic89]

This has me so emotional, you should never sacrifice a part of your soul just to accomplish your dreams. That was inspirational the way you refused over and over again to fall into his web. Hope to see you soon on tour ❤️

[@ibatista46]

This is a great story, every girl, woman should be aware! You are exceptional just as you are Jessie! God bless you! ❤❤

[@tamarindo234]

This happens to inspiring actors & actresses everyday in Hollywood. Imagine what happens in other countries.

[@la_real_selena]

I love that although Jessie really wanted to chase her dream of being a singer,she decided to achieve it through hardwork & persistence not the "easy" way. I have so much respect for her.👏😊✊💯

[@tiffanypayne6743]

That made cringe so bad and I felt like I was right there with her. I am so sorry that she was ever put in that position but, thank God that she used the strength that she's always had, to listen to her gut and get the Hell out of there. I hope everyone woman or man keeps coming forward with their story. Salute to you Jessie!

[@noryvarela8527]

Damn. Theres no words to describe how much i look up to you jessie. i fucken love you n youre fucken dope. youre unique and a different kind of artist. thats rare to find now a days. keep at it, been a fan since figures n im sticking w you through all.

[@MsColetha]

That is That Temptationnnn when the Devil offers you a knock off for what God has put into your soul that is REAL. Satan always demands a sacrifice that goes against your own truth. ALWAYS. That's how you know it's not God because God is with you through your trials and HE gives you PEACE and not sorrow, disgust, or the need to get high because you can't face what you did.... this is a Gentle Reminder for us all ... Selah...

[@bigray9572]

Good for you for not selling your soul, look at you now your selling music.

[@aminaplays7425]

I AM IN TEARS I ADORE YOU AND YOUR MUSIC SO MUCH. i just wanna tell you that everything happens for a reason and god is with you. your music soon will be heard on radios. i assure you. :) thank you for everything that you do(:

[@imkeysaf]

I'm so proud of you, mama! This is such a powerful messsage, the dark side of the music industry and I'm glad you're currently showing your unbelievable talent to the world without this kind of situations. You're VERY brave. Much love.

[@sophietheunicorn3579]

I love you, you aspire me. I sang for the first time in front of people and got standing ovation. I honestly don't think I could have done that with out you as my inspiration.

[@elsvaughn7959]

you would never have been what you are now if you had taken that route. your music wld be different, and so would you. i'm so glad tht you know ur worth.

[@UnPrecedented-y5p]

Ayo the world needs more women like you,jessie...I wish all women were as authentic as you

[@vaehhh4437]

I could listen to her voice all day

[@daniellec5812]

You are really such a role model, thank you for telling your story

[@sugmanuggiies]

Jessie We're all glad and respect you so much more at the fact you didnt go through with his bs! You have self respect and I love that. You're an inspiration to us all! Keep making great music and you'll be up there, possibly higher than him. I know you can do it! We love you Jessie ❤

[@jo76roamortiz83]

My sister i love u and respect u in life we go trough things that are wicked and ugly but never forget the lord and savior jesus christ loves u and protects u.GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY CHILD OF CHRIST JESUS YAHOSHUA HA'MASHIACH YAHUAH FOR EVER AMEN.

[@jaymarisol1736]

Respect to you Jessie for sticking with your integrity and morals. It takes guts to share stories like this. May God continue to bless you!✝️❤️🎉

[@tikdoe7563]

Well done. Most of us are wondering who it was & a lot of people are encouraging you to expose the guy, but hey you don't need to expose him for the rest of us to know that we should just say no. You're a great example of "I said no, and I made still made it" there are a lot of people who truly believe it's not possible to make it without selling yourself, even you had those thoughts in your mind as u said in the film. So thank you for making this video telling the story without trying to make it all complicated & hard to understand.

[@chakakhan9700]

Exposing him accomplishes nothing because temtation can come from someone known someone unknown someone respected someone not respected a lone female or male... the devil takes on many faces so it doesn't matter. The overall point the message you should walk away with is that when it happens, recognize it for what it is, say no and stick to your beliefs, be strong enough in your conviction that although you're walking away from probably your best and only chance to make it you're also walking away from a lifetime of destruction and hell, sickness disease and madness that no amount of money can cure

[@rojepa92]

Last time I said no I ended up with a serious head injury and missing teeth. It's not always as easy as saying no

[@Antoniyooo]

Jessie, I am beyond grateful I stumbled across your song on Spotify's Discover Weekly 10 months ago. What you are doing is amazing. You are a role model to so many. I am so proud of you and how far you've come as an artist and as a person. God has big plans for you. He will always be there for you to protect you as will your fans. You have things other artist don't. Emotion. Passion. Motivation. But most importantly a reason. You will continually prove how worthy of your success. Not everything will be up from here, but learn from it all. Your experiences teach you, they never define you. I love you. Congratulations on your EP and your song with Calvin Harris! Its only the start!🎈

[@emzostyles2318]

And I don't understand how the guy was comparing strippers to singers. They are two completely different things. Things like this just get me vexed

[@tjmatthews461]

Emma Omolaiye smh ikr , she is a singer/artist not a stripper , who cares who some stupid gatekeeper is or was, you don’t have to be like every other single girl desperate to get rich and family

[@marluabarca7390]

Just cuz you're a stripper doesn't necessarily mean you'll have sex for money, either.

[@summerrose8110]

Strippers aren't prostitutes. Remember that.

[@stanislavaperic2463]

girl you are strong as hell, keep doin what you're doin, cause nobody can tall you what you can and cannot do, you make your own destiny, love you with all my heart

[@rosierennie5867]

I love her eyes. They're so expressive and beautiful 😍

[@geocoul78280]

The Final Judgement will come to All, Don't you worry Sister, In then End you'll remember this Day As the day you slayed the demons. We're too talented for them to hold a price on us, we know the True value of Life, and while they rot in hell, we shall kiss the heavens 😊

[@TightMoneyGripp813]

This joint is mad eerie. I definitely appreciate the exposure on the madness that goes down behind the scene.

[@ranettechin2867]

So glad you didn't break girl Rooting for you, mad respect

[@Basey]

This broke my heart, made me physically ill - and it also made that smile of hers, in the live reprise version of "Figures", when the audience starts screaming at about 1 minute in, all the more genuine and beautiful to see.

[@thereturningboomerang]

Let your story ECHOOOO to all the dreamers out there that they DO NOT have to settle. I lived in Colombia for a year, now working in the states to get enough money to go back and rescue as many people as I can with education, teaching English, and LOVING on them with ALL my heart. #KeepShinning & thank you!
