Fifth Harmony Discuss Double Standards And One Direction Dating Rumors


Fifth Harmony gave their views about the double standards in the music industry and on partying with One Direction. The popular girl group is hard at work promoting their new single, “Work It.”

Camila Cabello praised Taylor Swift and Ellie Goulding for being so outspoken about the double standards in the music industry, especially when it comes to pop music.

“I think Ellie and Taylor have been really outspoken about it and have really represented women in the industry so well when they speak about the double standard that is held for women and men dating in the industry. Like Ellie and Taylor have said a lot, ‘A girl can write a song about love or how a man broke her heart and express her feelings and she’s all of a sudden crazy and psychotic. And a man can do the same thing and he’s romantic or he’s a hero.’ It’s so messed up, that double standard. I just think it comes with the whole stereotype with women. I think that’s what feminism tries to eliminate.”

Fifth Harmony spoke out previously about female empowerment. They said that they would love to collaborate with Little Mix and don’t see them as a threat.

“They’re just really talented. We’re both about girl power and empowering other women to do what they love to do. And you know, we’re not in this as a competition. We both do completely different things. We support each other 100 percent.”

Lauren Jauregui also addressed the rumors that claim she’s dating One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson.

“I’ve got a lot of people saying things they think they assume. There are a lot of opinions when none of them were absolutely present in the situation. I just ignore it all because I know in my heart that nothing happened and we had a lot of fun with them. That was the highlight of the night. Us going out with people we looked up to when we were younger and having a great night with them and going home.”

So how did those pesky dating rumors get started? Louis Tomlinson and Lauren Jauregui were spotted leaving a party together last week, sparking the dating rumors. The 18-year-old 5H singer insists that it was the first time she even met Tomlinson.

“My phone died and I had no way of getting home so Louis said, ‘Jump in a car with me.’ We got to know each other that night, it was the first time we really hung out. And he was nice enough to take me back.”

The girls of Fifth Harmony also revealed that they would love to collaborate with One Direction someday. On the KISS FM breakfast show, the X Factor USA group addressed the rumors that they’ll be collaborating with the famous boy band.

“It’s a rumor, but we hope it’s true. They’re so down to earth. It was actually on The X Factor when we first met, and they were so nice. I think they were up performing, and they just went backstage and kind of talked to all the different contestants. And they gave us advice. Yeah, they just told us to make sure we should pretty much stick together. They are such cool guys.”

As for Pitbull, he would love to collaborate with Fifth Harmony, but in a different way. The musician told Capital FM that he would love to marry all five women. Mr. 305 played a game of “Lips, Marry and Leave It” where his options were Kelly Clarkson, Fifth Harmony or Rita Ora. Pitbull revealed that he would marry all five members of the girl group – including four of the underage singers.

“I would definitely wife Fifth Harmony because I get all five of em’!”

There’s no doubt that the singers will be creeped out after hearing about that. During his interview, Pitbull insists that he’s not a player. He’s just enjoying his life now that he’s single. He also said that being married to five women would be no problem for him.

“I was raised by women, so I’m kinda used to it.”
