Lauren is the latest member of Fifth Harmony to take a break from social media. Back in August, Normani Kordei revealed she had been the recipient of nasty, racist social media remarks and decided it was time to take a break from social media.

Lauren told Entertainment Tonight, “I feel like a lot of people disregard the scrutiny that people like us are under. We’re not all thin, model types, and we’re not all perfectly colored. It mind-boggles me that somebody would take time out of their life to make someone feel inferior because of something like that. That to me, is insane.”

She spoke openly about the struggle her and her band mates go through when it comes to online criticism,

“You can’t help it as a human being when you’re put under so much scrutiny, by multiple people, not even just one person in real life, telling you something. It harms you…We try to sit with each other and lift each other up, and these people who are telling you things, these people are all behind their computers who are envious of what you have, and the abilities that you have.”

 Lauren also received a ton of hate after tweeting her support for US Presidential candidate Jill Stein. She responded in a series of tweets which you can view below:
