Ariana Grande, Jai Brooks Break Up: Janoskians Member Twitlonger on One-Year Anniversary, 'Yes I Was Cheated On' with The Wanted's Nathan Sykes [FULL STATEMENT]

Almost two months after news first surfaced that "The Way" singer Ariana Grande and Janoskians performer Jai Brooks broke up and several weeks after Grande confirmed her new relationship with The Wanted's Nathan Sykes, Brooks is speaking out and addressing the reason for their split.

The answer? Grande cheated on him with Sykes.

UPDATE: Ariana Grande, Jai Brooks Break Up: 'The Way' Singer Responds to Cheating Accusations on Twitter: 'I Am No Longer Afraid of You or Your Lies Anymore'

On his and Grande's would-be one-year anniversary, Brooks took to Twitter service Twitlonger to post an open message to his fans (and to Grande and Sykes) to explain his side of the story.

"Yes I was cheated on. Yes it does suck. Yes I was left for another man," he began bluntly. Brooks then went on to explain that he went back to Grande after she cheated because he "wasn't ready to give up on love and something that was everything to [him]."

The heartbreaking message also addressed Sykes directly, telling him to take care of Grande in their new relationship. "When you hold her hand, you better hold it tight because you are holding my world," he wrote.

Brooks also talked about the difficulty of the break up, which led him unable to sleep (referencing a tweet from earlier in the summer).

Read the full statement from Brooks below, via Twitter and Twitlonger.

"Yes I was cheated on. Yes it does suck. Yes I was left for another man. And this happens everyday to so many people of every age, gender, race. I happen to be one of those people and I'm in a situation where I am constantly reminded of it every day.

Like anyone who has been cheated on, it has been tough for me but I'm finally ready to move on. Once you are cheated on you should never go back and I did because I wasn't ready to give up on love and something that was everything to me. I wasn't ready to give up on something that was causing me to smile and be happy day in and day out. That's what relationships do, they make you the happiest person in the world and all of a sudden a miserable wreck.

That is why if you know someone who is in a relationship, I'm begging you to please not interfere with that, because you are going to destroy someone and crush their world. Nathan may be a top bloke or a sweet person, but what he did was just completely wrong. He interfered with my life and did not respect my relationship, his actions caused me to not be able to sleep at night and not see the world as a beautiful place.

Nathan if you read this, when you hold her hand you better hold it tight because you are holding my world. I do wish you two happiness and a good life and hope everything works out. Through all of this I have been able to mature as a person and grow up and have learnt a lot about myself. I have learnt how to find happiness on my own without relying on anyone else. I'm not going to go into the full story of what happened because it isn't anyone else's business and I'm just not ready to.

Today was supposed to be our one year anniversary but instead I'm writing this. Do you know how sh*t this makes me feel? How crushed it makes me feel? But I'm doing this to protect myself from the endless hate I am getting and for those who have lost respect for me when I haven't done anything wrong.

I'm seeing this post as moving on, ending peoples continuous questions to me which keeps reminding me about what happened. I hope you can read this and it is enough for your questions to stop because I really can't keep being reminded of it every single day of my life and it is not healthy. It's better to end everyone's questions now than to keep it going for the rest of my life which will slowly destroy me and not allow me to move on. I'm starting to get back on my feet and smile again.

Yes I do miss her and still love her but I need to start thinking of myself and do what is best for me. You may or may not believe me, that is up to you and I'm not going to force you to, but just know I would never make up a lie about something like this, it's far too serious.

She may not respond to this post, may ignore it, may deny it or may own up to it, she is going to do what's best for her and do what she thinks is right, which is what I'm doing, doing what I think is the best for me- I hope you can respect that.

Please stop the endless questions to me and move on with me and let's put everything behind us. Thank you to those who have been supporting me, helping me smile and being there for me through a day to day basis. Like I said this post does make me feel like shit but I feel it's the best thing for me, I'm looking out for myself. Thank you everyone. Here is to a great life."

Brook's statement comes in the wake of a series of tweets from Ariana Grande's older Frankie on Twitter, who claimed that Brooks broke up with his sister without warning over the phone.

Grande was linked with Sykes just one week after her split from Brooks. The new couple met while recording their "Yours Truly" duet "Almost is Never Enough."

As of press time, no one from Grande's camp has responded to Brooks' message.
