Camila Cabello Reveals She Felt 'Sexualized' In Fifth Harmony & Teases New Song Lyrics

Camila Cabello got candid about her time in Fifth Harmony and needless to say, the tea she spilled was pretty interesting.
From revealing that she was initially cut from X-Factor auditions to dishing the dirt on Fifth Harmony’s sexualized image, there wasn’t really much that was left unsaid when Lena Dunham chatted with Camila on her Women of the Hour podcast. During their phone call, Camila revealed that her audition process for X-Factor was pretty rough.
The singer went on to explain that her persistence basically got her through the process, only to be cut again – but as Harmonizers all know, that led to her being placed into the girl group that launched the start of her musical career.
And while Camila expressed how much she appreciated her time with the girl group, there were some things that she won’t miss, like having to deal with people trying to sexualize herself and the rest of the girls. The former 5H member revealed that there have been many times where she had to put her foot down because she was so uncomfortable being portrayed in that sense.
Camila said QUOTE, “Especially with being a girl group, there’s been a lot of times where people have tried to sexualize us to just get more attention. Unfortunately, sex sells. There’s definitely been times where there’s stuff that I have not been comfortable and I’ve had to put my foot down…I feel lik eit’s been tricky because we’ve had to grow into ourselves while being in front of the world and while making songs that did have a lot sexual undertones. There’s nothing wrong with showing sexuality. If you have that inside, it’s just an expression of who you are. If you want to share that with people, that’s amazing.”
On that note, the 19-year-old singer also gave her fans advice on the matter, saying QUOTE, “If you’re not ready for it, put your foot down.” There’s definitely nothing wrong with saying no when you’re uncomfortable.
Aside from Camila’s incredible and eye-opening interview, the singer has been teasing her fans via Twitter with what could possibly be lyrics for a song from her upcoming solo project. The singer shared a screenshot that read QUOTE, “Just as I was about to shut the door, I had to look again/something was different about the girl staring back at me in the mirror/oh yes/I realized/ the light had crept its way back into her eyes/ two words slipped from her mouth/”welcome home.”” And accompanied that image with a bunch of pencil emojis.
And to add MORE musical speculation into the mix, the singer was spotted at a photoshoot not too long ago where she posed with a guitar while her luscious locks blew around in the fake wind.
I have a feeling she’s going to make a solo musical announcement very soooonnn…

Why is Camila still getting hate she's done nothing wrong

[fatima_I]

I noticed that as well, she also was the most covered most of the time compared to the other members, maybe she requested that.

[damariusingram]

I noticed that 5H was over sexualized and the fact that even Camilla felt it is wow.

[happyme]

Ah!! so i am not the only one who thinks 5H is overly sexualize. .____.

[DudeTC]

How many female singers / girl groups actually make it big these days, and NOT be sexualized???

[lolapennyburg]

let's get 2 things straight...
1.) Its OKAY for Fifth Harmony to have a sexy concept. its OKAY for girl groups or soloists to be sexy, to have a sexy dance, etc.
2.) what's NOT okay is if the artist or idol isn't okay with it! If they don't want to, then no, its not okay.

[lavinia]

She is the sweetest!!!! Don't hate on her bc she didn't do anything

[imgood]

I just want everyone to know... fifth harmony does not choose their image, songs, basically anything about themselves.

[flavvvvvv]

Yeah they basically would just shake their butts on stage😑

[IAMJAXONJ]

That's why she wouldn't sing her correct verse in worth it

[jaydee]

She used to change the lyrics "I like it a little rough" at the concerts. I always felt like she was uncomfortable saying that.

[crojalwol]

Like Camila said, there is nothing wrong with expressing sexuality if it comes from your own will and on your terms, but it's disgusting that people pressure young girls into it if it makes them uncomfortable. Then again, what's new? That's the industry for you... Fortunately, it seems like they're slowly letting the girls have a bit more control over their careers.

[varshakhemai]

Why is everyone hating on her???? At least try to put yourself in her shoes😑

[tacoboutit_]

The problem isn't the people it's the person. Stop sexualizing yourself. Adele, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Shakira and others can make hits and be on top of the charts without making every song or performance they do sexual.

[theolilbe]

Zayn : left because he want to sings song about sex, camila: left because she doesn't want to sings song about sex

[nusratdavre]

It takes great guts to stand for yourself knowing that there is a possibility of it turning against you. She still stood for herself. Hats off to her

[sadiaislam]

It's true though. Because all of 5h's concerts are just them shaking their asses on stage. At young ages too like 17-18 they were already sexualising themselves. I agree with her.

[jenniferr]

Its true 5harmony is actually sexualized. In all there videos they always show there skin. Im glad she left, her voice is beautiful and would sound better alone like her voice was amazing in "bad things" She has a better voice than all of them, even Demi Lovato said that they had to learn from her because she was the better singer.

[eva-gxzz]

I feel like most people in the comments talking about how "they only sing about sex" don't know that only 3 out of their many songs are about sex

[twentycrybabygrandexoxo]

Well I'm waiting for new music from both 😂
