‘Celebrity Big Brother’ Star Disses Fifth Harmony After Camila Cabello Shades Style

The members of Fifth Harmony have always been open about empowering women and not judging one another based on how they are dressed. However, earlier in the week, the group was slut shamed by a former Girls Aloud group member.

“Celebrity Big Brother” star Sarah Harding slammed the group for their choices to wear “next to nothing” during the Monday Night airing of the U.K. series.

In the video, fellow housemate, “Bachelorette” star Chad Johnson, asked Harding, who came to fame singing alongside Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh in Girls Aloud, if she was familiar with Fifth Harmony.

The star acknowledged that she was, but did not share any compliments about members Lauren Jauregui, Dinah Jane Hansen, Normani Kordei and Ally Brooke Hernandez. Instead, she criticized their fashion choices and dance moves.

“All the girls bands these days. Slutty, slutty, slutty, sex sells, sex sells. Obviously, when we [Girls Aloud] were touring, we didn’t wear much because it was so hot, but it’s when they do the videos and it’s all like slut drops and twerking, it’s like, c’mon,” she told Johnson.

“We used to have hot, proper dance routines. They just do slut drops now,” she added.

Fifth Harmony’s fan base known as the Harmonizers were able to get #SarahHardingisOverParty to trend on Twitter following her comments. Using the hashtag, fans defended the group and called out Harding over her negative comments.

“So sad that it’s 2017 and we still have women slutshaming other women for what they wear,” one person tweeted.

“I understand why Sarah feels some kind of way. 5H in their prime while she has to go on BB for any relevance,” one fan wrote.

“Girlie had the audacity to slut Shame 5h while admitting she did the same thing back when she was in girls aloud,” an upset fan added.

In 2015, Jauregui told Cosmopolitan that it wasn’t right that the group has received a lot of criticism based on how they choose to dress. “Yeah ... it’s ridiculous! 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,” she explained.

The 21-year-old took issue with the criticism because she felt it was a double standard compared to how men are judged. “I’ve noticed on our video comments, it’s people’s go-to, to accuse us of the whole ‘slut thing.’ Then they support men who do the craziest things and say nothing about them,” she added.

Harding isn’t the first person to criticize Fifth Harmony’s style choices. Former member Camila Cabello, who left 5H in December, told People she was relieved that she no longer had to pick her outfits according to the group, and that the freedom has allowed her style to evolve.

“As a solo artist, I don’t have to worry about matching a group look, which can be quite challenging because you have to fit with everyone else,” she explained.

Although Fifth Harmony has not addressed Harding’s remarks, it’s clear that the Harmonizers are more than happy to defend the group.
