"I always say, judge a person when you meet them," Jessie told Us Weekly at the William Rast debut at Lord & Taylor in New York last week. "I've met Ariana, and there's a very thin line between 'diva' and 'survival.' And a lot of people can't [differentiate that] - and I've had that."

Jessie J went on to explain that she's also dealt with the term diva being directed at her. "It's when people can't cope with how passionate you are, and how much you care," she said.
