Perrie, 31, admitted suffering what felt like a 'dagger to the heart' when she was rejected after reaching out Jesy.
Jesy later posted on Instagram: "The internet is gross and so are humans."
Little Mix stars Perrie, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall no longer speak to Jesy after she abruptly quit the band.
Speaking on the Happy Place podcast, Perrie spoke out about trying to "rectify things" with her former friend.
"I wrote a song about a friendship I had that I no longer have," Perrie told host Fearne Cotton.
"When you've been in that person's life for years and they've had your back, you've been through highs, lows and everything, all these experiences, it's a wild ride but you've gone through it together - then poof they're gone - that's hard to deal with.
"I struggled a lot with that. It's really sad, but at the same time these things sometimes happen.
"It does make you think 'do we try to rectify the situation? Should I reach out? It doesn't feel like I should, it feels like I should just stay away.'
"It's a really horrible dynamic to be in."
Perrie added: "When you try and then it doesn't get taken well either... it's like another..."

Perrie broke off and imitated being stabbed in the heart.
She continued: "You think, 'well I tried, they don't want it. You can't force someone to be friends with you.'
"It's really hard."
Leigh-Anne, 32, previously said Jesy’s abrupt exit from the band in December 2020 left her, Perrie and Jade “traumatised” and needing counselling.
Little Mixers: Where Are They Now?
LITTLE Mix announced their hiatus in December 2021 whereby the group clarified that they were taking a break to focus on individual projects and personal endeavours. So, where are they now?
Perrie Edwards
Perrie has been focusing on her solo career post-Little Mix.
She recently released her debut solo single, Forget About Us, which has garnered significant attention.
She is also enjoying her time as a new mum and often shares adorable moments with her son on social media.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock
Leigh-Anne has ventured into acting, landing a role in a major film project, 'Boxing Day'.
She's also been active in promoting her documentary on racial issues within the music industry.
Additionally, Leigh-Anne is balancing her career with motherhood, having welcomed twins with her partner.
Jade Thirlwall
Jade has been exploring various creative avenues, including hosting a podcast and appearing on several television shows.
She remains a strong advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and continues to use her platform to support various charitable causes.
She signed a solo recording contract with RCA Records in 2022, and released her debut single, Angel of My Dreams, this year, which reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart.
Jesy Nelson
Jesy left Little Mix in 2020 to focus on her mental health and has since embarked on a solo music career.
She released her debut single, Boyz, which sparked much discussion and showcased her new musical direction.
Jesy is also working on her first solo album, JN1, which is set to be released this year.
At the time, Jesy, 32, cited battles with her mental health and struggles with the pressures of fame as her reason for leaving.
She said: “The truth is recently being in the band has really taken a toll on my mental health.
“I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard.
“There comes a time in life when we need to reinvest in taking care of ourselves rather than focusing on making other people happy.”
