Roughly three years after Fifth Harmony went on an indefinite hiatus, original member Ally Brooke is opening up about her time in the girl group. In the inaugural episode of the 27-year-old singer’s podcast, The Ally Brooke Show, the eponymous host shared details about her time in the sensational pop group. “It was a whirlwind,” Ally shared of the group coming together in 2012 on The X Factor and skyrocketing to stardom.
“I’m going to say how proud I am of Fifth Harmony, of what we did, of what we did for music, what we did for female empowerment, what we did for girl groups,” she reflected. Unfortunately, Ally’s appreciation for what the group accomplished was overshadowed by her difficult experience. “But I hate saying this: My time in Fifth Harmony, I didn’t enjoy it. I didn’t love it,” she confessed.

HollywoodLife has reached out to the former group’s previous label for comment. Ally went on to open up about how the situation became so difficult to live with, she sought out help from resources within the label. But Ally’s requests were allegedly rebuffed and Ally explained that the women were often made to feel “inferior” and “uncomfortable” during that time.
