Fifth Harmony’s Normani Kordei Reveals Group Members Still Struggles Without Camila Cabello

Although Fifth Harmony has released their third studio album and embarked on their PSA Tour since Camila Cabello left in December, it doesn’t mean everything is perfect in the group and with the remaining members.

Singer, Normani Kordei revealed that aside from the glitz and glam of Hollywood, she and her group members, Lauren Jauregui, Dinah Jane Hansen and Ally Brooke Hernandez, are regular people with their own problems.

During an interview with Cosmopolitan, Kordei stated that it’s difficult for people to understand that the women aren’t living perfect lives.

“And it’s crazy, because when outsiders see pop stars, they think of us performing at the VMAs, and hype it up. They think we have it all together when really, we don’t. We have our insecurities and our doubts about ourselves. It’s just life, but different because it’s magnified,” she explained.

Kordei was referring to Fifth Harmony’s MTV VMAs performance, where the group appeared on stage with a fifth member who symbolized Cabello. However, before the song began, the individual jumped off the stage, leaving the four remaining members front and center.

The performance received a slew of media attention and the group stood by their decision to metaphorically throw Cabello off the stage and out of the group. During an appearance on “Good Morning America,” the group explained that the act showed they were united despite losing a group member.

“We get asked all the time if we’re getting a fifth member and we wanted to show the world, in an artistic way that, ‘Hey, the four of us are Fifth Harmony,’ and we’re stronger and better than we’ve ever been. Honestly, it was such a monumental moment for us. We were at the VMAs! We had rain, we had splits, we had a mic drop!” Hernandez told one of the anchors.

Aside from pulling off monumental performances, the ladies go through their own problems, both as a group and as individuals. Kordei revealed that she depends on her mother and her group to help her deal with the difficult moments.

“It can be kind of hard, because we’re continuously working every day. Sometimes I need to stop, but I don’t even recognize it, so it’s good for Mom — my best friend — to be out on the road with me and keep an eye out for when I’m being pushed too far physically or mentally. Touring is always the hardest, because I’m really attached to home, and I just like to be stable and in one place for more than a week and a half,” she told Cosmopolitan.

Kordei went on to explain how the group’s hectic scheduled has helped seal her bond with one group member in particular. “I relate to Ally a lot — we’re both from Texas. I actually remember her climbing in my bunk one night while we were on tour, and we cried and laughed together. It’s helpful knowing that I have somebody that I can talk to, and girls that are going through the same exact thing as me since no one else can fully understand our experience.”

Although Fifth Harmony seems to be effortlessly navigating the music industry, the group has unexpectedly postponed the Australian leg of their tour. “TEG Live, the promoter of Fifth Harmony, has regretfully advised, due to a change in scheduling, it has become necessary to postpone the tour until March 2018,” a statement from Ticketmaster read.

The PSA Tour dates are expected to be rescheduled and ticket holders will be contacted with further information regarding their options.
