What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News and while discussing her upcoming memoir ‘Finding
Your Harmony’, Ally Brooke just revealed that she doesn’t plan on having sex until
marriage.
Former Fifth Harmony member Ally Brooke wrote a memoir, appropriately called Finding Your
Harmony, which comes out next week.
And ahead of the book's drop, Ally opened up in a new interview about some of the book’s
biggest revelations like her sexuality and some inappropriate experiences she’s had
with Hollywood execs.
Over the weekend, Ally spoke with the hosts of the Hollywood Raw and revealed that at
27 years old she is still a virgin and plans on saving herself for marriage.
“Yes, I put that in my book and I opened up about that and I was brave to share that
and that’s something I hold dear to my heart and I hold still til this day.”
Ally went on and explained why sharing this personal part of her life with her fans was
so important to her.
“I was really happy to be able to share that with my fans and readers, and show them
the choice that I made, and have them receive it however they want to receive it -- but
letting my true heart shine was the goal of this book.”
Ally also revealed how virginity has impacted her dating life.
“I have had those moments where people would make fun of me or question me, like 'Yeah
right,' but I just have to hold that in my heart and know my truth and kind of just let
that be that.”
Thankfully, that has not been the majority of Ally’s experiences, she said most people
have been respectful.
She said quote, “You kind of just be yourself, and they either respect it or not.
... A lot of people respect the things you're willing to share.
… It's awesome feeling that respect.
I've never felt any pressure, and that is the great part about it.”
And aside from her virginity, Ally revealed that in her book she also discusses some inappropriate
experiences she had with music executives early on in her career.
She said quote, “This music executive was like come meet with me I can help you.
Then when I went, he gave me a thong and said, ‘You'd look really good in this.'
I was completely humiliated, shocked, and disgusted.”
Ally went on saying “I didn't feel like I had any power to do anything about it, because
sadly at that time people heard about these things but really didn't do much.
People weren't being held accountable for their actions.
So I just felt so helpless and alone.”
Ally revealed that this same music exec from her label invited her to his hotel room and
that’s when she finally didn’t reply because she knew where that was going.
At the time, Ally explained that she felt like she had no power, but is grateful
for how far we’ve come with people speaking up about these incidents and taking their
power back.
She explained that she always tries to take the high road and is doing everything she
can to prevent anyone else from going through the same thing she did.
And fans were quick to flood Ally with love and support after she opened up in this vulnerable
interview.
One person wrote “you’re so freaking brave for sharing your story!
I love how you’re so proud of who you are and aren’t afraid to show it to the world.
you inspire me girl.
love you so much and can’t wait for #findingyourharmony got your back always mamas.”
Another fan chimed in saying “we love you SO MUCH! your bravery and strength are admirable
and we're so proud of you” And this person added “Use that voice Ally
and say what you've got to say.
People saw for a long time what others "intended" to be your image.
Now we get to see just who you are and want to be.
This is YOUR time and i say a big welcome to you owning the path you're on.”
And Ally was overwhelmed by all the love she received from fans over the weekend.
She tweeted saying quote, “I was nervous and prepared to be made fun of for certain
things I open up about in my book, and I shared a preview of that in interviews this week.
But to my amazement I’ve received nothing but love and overwhelming support.
THANK YOU.”
And we can’t wait to get our hands on Ally’s book!
We also admire her honesty, bravery and vulnerability and can’t wait to see what else is in store
for Ally in the future.
