It’s been about a month since Camila Cabello surprised ‘Harmonizers’ by announcing her decision to leave the group.

The split wasn’t exactly the smoothest, with both sides claiming there was a lot of miscommunication with how Camila decided to tell the remaining four girls.

Now, she’s opening up about her time in the group in a new interview with Lena Dunham’s (below are some highlights).

 

ON BEING ‘SEXUALIZED’ IN THE GROUP:

 

“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 with and I’ve had to put my foot down.”

She continued, “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. I love that. Look at Rihanna. She’s so sexy. She comes from Planet Sexy. I worship her. I really, really do.”

 

ON HER ADVICE TO HER YOUNG FEMALE FANS:
“I feel like it’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 of sexual undertones…I think the thing that I would say to young women is, if you’re not ready for it, put your foot down.”

 

ON HER APPROACH TO SOCIAL MEDIA:

 

 “The best decision that I’ve taken in my career thus far has been this year I’ve just stayed away from social media,” she told Dunham.”

She added, “I don’t go on it, and I just keep myself focused on getting better and growing as an artist and finding different ways to grow as a person. It’s just kept me grounded, and I don’t have one thousand people thinking that they didn’t like my shoes.”
