I wasn’t going to make a post about this, but this entire thing just rubbed me the wrong way and I felt like I needed to address it.
So another Billboard article came out today featuring Camila on the cover and a story about her success over the past year. Here is the full article (X).
Skipping all the blah blah blah at the beginning, we end up eventually on the piece that talks about Camila’s career in 5H. It should speak for itself!
“When she started performing with Fifth Harmony at 15, she didn’t have much of a say in her own career: She recorded and performed with little control over her schedule for almost five years straight, until her departure from the group in late 2016.”
Keep this in mind —> “She recorded and performed with little control over her schedule for almost five years straight”
Then skipping a little farther, we get to a comment about paparazzi.
“The paparazzi follow Cabello everywhere, even when she is home in Miami with her family. This year, she took her 10-year-old sister, Sofia, trick-or-treating for Halloween, but wore a mask to avoid being recognized.”
Really? Does anyone else remember this specific tweet that’s only a whopping 3 months and 20 days old?
How exactly did she go from no paparazzi following her to them suddenly being everywhere in the span of a few months? It couldn’t be because of the success of Havana, because Havana was still incredibly popular at the time. Strike one.
Next we have a total of four paragraphs about her “relationship” with the “guru.” All of which are indeed major bullshit.
“It was only recently that Cabello even acknowledged the existence of her boyfriend, a 31-year-old British dating coach named Matthew Hussey. She has said that they met on the set of NBC’s Today, which is, I guess, one of the only places an internationally famous pop star might come into contact with a male Cosmo “love guru” 10 years her senior. They both appeared on the program in September 2017, and they were photographed together for the first time in February, on the beach in Mexico a few weeks after Cabello released her album.“
The only thing I’m going to counter this paragraph with is this video of Ew from a radio interview earlier this year saying himself that they MET IN JANUARY:
“When I bring up a video of the two kissing that a fan recently posted on Instagram, she grins. In the video, taken at the Santiago, Chile, airport in October, Cabello turns to Hussey and gives him a quick kiss for fans gathered by the security line chanting, “Beso! Beso!”
Those were my biggest, biggest, most hard-core fans,” she says, “and they know him anyway, because they know that we’re together. I thought it was really cute when they did that, and it’s like a trusted circle. … They’re chanting my mom’s and my manager’s and my dad’s and my sister’s name, so they know a lot, so I thought it was really cute when they said that, and I was just like, ‘Let’s give them a kiss.’”
A “private relationship” needs four paragraphs about it, two of which detail the events of a video where they’re seen kissing in front of fans? Okay, sure. That’s strike three.
After this they give us more background on her friendships with Charli XCX and Taylor Swift, and then end the paragraph with Camila talking about the Rep Tour, which is amazing that she was an opener for, but they really couldn’t have asked her about her own successful tour while on the topic? It was her first one, after all. Strike four!
Skipping on a little further, she talks about a break.
“I think that there will be a time where I want to take a few months to go live in Spain or in Italy and just pig out and just not have any discipline or any responsibility,” she continues. “But I feel like I haven’t really earned that yet. I don’t feel like I’ve earned an extended break.”
Camila……you’ve more than earned an extended break. Strike 345894759834759384798374598345 for Sony and Epic.
In conclusion, they’ve run these topics into the ground over and over and over in every article that’s come out recently. We want to know about her album, her music, her new passions, what she’s writing about, but instead we get the same wash, rinse and repeat shit they’ve been giving us for a while now. Stop the madness!
