Fifth Harmony's Lauren Jauregui Calls Out Justin Bieber, Group Discusses Slut Shaming
Fifth Harmony doesn't just sing about girl power but actually makes it their mission to support it in every way possible, even if that means calling others out for going against it.
According to Cosmopolitan, during a recent interview with Cosmo for Latinas, singer Lauren Jauregui and her fellow Fifth Harmony group mates called out those who slut shame and criticized the double standards society places on women.
Fifth Harmony may be a group free of scandals and that tends to stay away from drama, but that doesn't mean they aren't the constant subjects of criticism. Putting music aside, the group discussed how they get criticized for how they dress on a daily basis, something Normani Kordei said they get get mainly from women.
"Yeah ... it's ridiculous," said Jauregui about the negative comments they get for their outfits. "Just because we dress according to our body types and dress the way that we want to. A woman embracing her sexuality isn't wrong, it's not being a slut."
The group, known for their female power anthems like "BO$$," "Miss Moving On" and "Worth It," all shared their individual fashion choices and explained that, regardless of how different they all dress, they all get their share of criticism.
During the discussion, Jauregui couldn't help but give an excample of the double standards by calling out one male singer in particular, reported SheKnows.
"I've noticed on our video comments, it's people's go-to, to accuse us of the whole slut thing,'" she continued. "Then they support men who do the craziest things and say nothing about them. F**cking Justin Bieber ... I'm sorry, excuse me. Justin Bieber takes his pants off, posts a pic of it, and it's like, 'OMG, he's so hot.' What. Is. That?! How is this reality? Know what I mean?"
Even with such strong opinions, the group explained they have let the pressures of the industry affect them in the past but have learned to be strong.
"We've all grown to be stronger than before, and especially, when you're a girl in this industry, you're very scared," explained Dinah Jane Hansen. "You learn to have a thick skin."
