What’s up? It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News and we just learned about another bombshell
from Ally Brooke’s new book. She spilled the tea on what happened when Camila Cabello left Fifth
Harmony and how they considered replacing her with another famous artist. Let’s get into it!
Alright, so in case you haven’t heard, former Fifth Harmony member, Ally Brooke
just released a tell all book called “Finding Your Harmony.”
Ally said she is sharing her story in the hopes that she might inspire
readers to quote "dream big, have faith, and achieve more than you can imagine."
In the 300 plus page book Ally talks about everything from her dating life
to her virginity to her experience with sexual harassment with music execs early in her career.
She also takes fans through her journey from The X Factor days,
to Fifth Harmony to present day as a solo artist doing things her way.
In the intro, Ally writes, “All I've ever wanted to be, since I was a little girl, is to be a light
— a light in this dark world and in this dark industry. I hope that this book can be a light
to you. And I hope it leaves you changed, the same way that my own story has left me changed.”
And now that the book is officially out,
fans have discovered even more interesting bits that Ally revealed while telling her story.
One moment that stood out in particular is when Ally discussed Camila Cabello’s exit
from their wildly popular girl group Fifth Harmony.
Fans remember back in 2016, Camila announced she was leaving the group
which sent Harmonizers into a complete and total frenzy.
There were a series of long statements back and forth, but at the end of the day Ally Brooke,
Normani, Lauren Jauregui, and Dinah Jane decided to carry on without Camila.
Ally made a point to not mention Camila by name at all in her book, telling Hollywood
Raw that quote “I kind of wanted to focus on the positive, which is why I didn't say much.”
But interestingly enough, in her book Ally did reveal that
they had considered replacing Camila after her public exit from the group.
Without saying Camila’s name,
Ally explained that the options they were given were to find a fifth singer through
another reality show search or replace Camila with an already popular, well known artist.
But Ally, Normani, Lauren, and Dinah decided against both of those options.
In her book, Ally says quote, “There were several different options and routes we could’ve taken.
There were a lot of different ideas floating around. But the four of us decided, ‘Hey.
We think it would be odd to all of a sudden bring someone.’”
She continued on writing, “The four of us have a history,
and we know what we went through together. We know our journey. We know each other. We
felt like there was no question that we should continue on as we were.”
And while they decided to continue as a group of four,
one of the singers who was offered as an option to replace Camila did grab Ally’s interest.
Ally says quote, “I don’t know if I can share, but one would’ve been really cool. She’s at
the top now, and everybody loves her. I love her. That wasn’t what we felt like would be
right for our group, even though we love this other singer, and she’s awesome. She probably
wouldn’t have accepted anyways because she probably would’ve said the same thing, like,
‘I don’t know if I should step in here.’ And her career is already blowing up.”
Hmmm anyone have any guesses who Ally could be talking about?
Right off the top of my head, based on the timing of it all,
I wonder if it could’ve been someone like Dua Lipa maybe?!
And I’m not the only one who’s been wondering who Ally was talking about.
Fans have been taking to Twitter to share their guesses like this person
who wrote “Bebe rexha, dua lipa? Ava max? Halsey?”
Another fan shared their guess writing “Its Becky G shes talking about.”
This person wrote “omg noah cyrus in fifth harmony”
And other fans guessed it could’ve been artists like Lizzo, Madison Beer, or Doja Cat.
Lots of good guesses in there!
But other fans just tweeted about how they made the right choice by not going with a replacement.
Like this person who said quote, “They never needed any replacement.
They were back to be what they were meant to be since day 1: a foursome. And they
completely killed it. Their last era is there to prove how fantastic they were.”
And either way, it doesn’t seem like Ally will be revealing who that mystery artist
is, no matter how many names we throw out there.
She seemed confident in their decision to remain a
foursome until Fifth Harmony started their ongoing hiatus back in 2018.
Ally’s book came out this week and is available online via Amazon,
Barnes And Noble, Walmart, and more in case you want to check it out.
