Ally Brooke on Hitting 'Rock Bottom' and Nearly QUITTING Fifth Harmony (Exclusive)

- Ally Brooke is opening up about her personal and professional life like never before. In the 27-year-old singer’s new memoir, ‘Finding Your Harmony,’ she candidly addresses her upbringing, struggles to achieve her dreams and her vow to remain a virgin until marriage. In Ally’s career, she shares details about being a member of Fifth Harmony alongside Camila Cabello, Normani, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui, and the hardships she endured in the band -- even feelings of wanting to quit. Ally recalls feeling upset and frustrated over the lack of parts she was assigned to sing in their music, even building up her courage to confront their management about having even distribution amongst the bandmates. The Mexican-American star also shares painful memories of dealing with negative body image and being criticized on social media. Then, Ally says she reached her lowest point one night in a hotel room when she drank a lot of wine to ‘numb [her] pain.’ She reveals that the group’s tour manager, Will Bracey, had a bad feeling when he couldn’t reach her, so he obtained a room key to check on her, and found her completely inebriated. Ally explains how she relied on her faith to move beyond that scary experience and overcome other challenges, which eventually helped her find her way into a healthier headspace. Now, Ally is looking brightly towards the future as she continues with her singing career as a solo artist and explores the world of acting. She recently landed her first role in a feature film called ‘High Expectations’ opposite Kelsey Grammer.

I hope Ally gets the recognition she deserves.
Me too
Me 3
They all deserve success!!
But ally has a good team so she’ll blow up soon
Yes, she’s such an angel😢
When the lady asked if she heard a response from the girls about her book and Ally said “I haven’t heard anything yet but-“ my heart actually shattered
YES SAME
Honestly i actually felt my heart break 😭
you'd think normani and her would be more amicable since they were one of the only girls in the group facing major backlash and negativity. Normani had to deal with racist Camila Stans sending her death threats, pictures of her being hanged like a slave, trashing her skin color and ally had people saying she was ugly and body shaming her.
@@JaihlaTillman its a normani stan who made that in 2015 didnt they already apologized already bc they didn't thought normani will leave twitter. she said she did that for cancel culture to hate on camila bc shes the most popular member in the group in 2015. yall still living through 2013 harmonizers bc that era stan never liked normani. theres a videos of 12yr old harmos skipped her on meet and greets and hugged the other girls.
this sudden outcry is literally 5 yrs too late. yall shoud support normani & ally's music in 2020 instead of digging 2013-2015 harmo drama
kibi dango
Stop lying. Accounts with profile picture’s of camila are still on twitter calling her the n word and being racist 🥴
when she said none of the other girls congratulated her on the book 😢
Eh... I bet none of the girls wanted any remembrance of 5th Harmony... She just went ahead and triggered damn painful memories
@@whizzardblizzard5696 yea thats fair
@@whizzardblizzard5696 they could have still supported the book. They probably don't even talk to each other anymore
Lauren liked allys post about the book. Maybe and hopefully they already did :(
@@fredb3165 yeaa :) and lauren has been commenting and interacting with dinah and normani a little on instagram!
Thank you for having me 💕
ally thick queen
True strength is keeping everything together when everyone expects you to fall apart.
Whew..... I feel that! Something I needed to hear now
“‘Maybe one day, you’ll see us together on a big beautiful stage in front of the world again. We shall see.” - Allyson Brooke Hernandez (2020)
EVERYBODY SAY AMEN
AMEN !!
AMEN GURL, I WANT THAT YO HAPPEN✨
Fifth Harmony seems to have been a traumatic experience for all the girls in the group. Like I think they love each other but as far as the label (Epic) and how they treated them I really think they hated it. They always say they’re grateful for 5H cause without it they wouldn’t be where they are but aside from Ally with her book nobody ever wants to speak about the group, the girls don’t keep in contact, they don’t even sound hopeful for a reunion in the future. The industry is crazy.
Yes I agree! In an industry where females are mistreated and constantly shamed if they don’t meet society’s unrealistic “ideal standards”, it would’ve been really traumatic for the girls to have constantly been compared to each other and have to fight for the screen time/lyrics! Remember, they had to endure this from their teenage years when a lot of self-esteem and confidence issues peak 😢 Out of all the girls, it seemed like Ally and Dinah were the ones who view the whole 5H chapter in some positive light. The girls are all individually talented but together, they defined the phrase “Girl Group” to the tee! I think maybe when they are older and have mentally and emotionally come to terms with their past, they may consider regrouping for a single or two! It would honestly be awesome if they maintain their solo careers but have occasional 5H comebacks 😊
As much I want to agreed with you. But just because they were put in a group together, doesn’t mean anything as anything is impossible.
It’s only been two years since the girls splits from band (2018), minus Camila departed the group two years prior (2016).
I mean let the girls take the time away from each as much as they wants; to cleans and heals mind and soul, until one day they may or might wants to do reunion in near future.
It took New Kids On The Block 14 years to reunion in 2008 as they broke up in 1994....
@@jennak.p.johnson4383 Yeah I agreed. At least they weren’t forced to break up, like my favourite short live boy band Dream Street.
That the band has force to break up by the court system, between boys parents vs management and producer. As they expose the boys to alcohols, nude women/pornography and wants them to sleeps with underage girls, so the court settle the argument by making the band split up and never perform again as group....
@@jennak.p.johnson4383 I totally agree. I’ll be patiently waiting whether it’s 4 or 5 of them that reunites lol.
@@ceejay3121 Yes, thanks.
If we look at 5H days outfits, she always got outfits that was not for her body type. To be honest the 5H stylist had given worse outfits to her compare to other girls most of the time. 😔
Thats why she deserves the world
Yep. I feel like the record label had her favorite and the rest had to fight with the scraps. I think it's kinda of absurd that some girls don't even sing in some of the songs (specially Dinah and Lauren) while that other member had basically a solo song on 7/27.
@@clemermoacir i love and respect them all i just dont like how camila made it seem like everyone is jealous of her etc when all of them had management problems but the 4 dealt with it together while she played victim. I know we all dont know what happened but theres a reason the 4 arent following her anymore and thats not jealousy
@@jvalentino6466 umm she never made it seem as if they were jealous, that’s just the people opinion so don’t pin it on her. And she was the only one who spoke highly of them when she left and wished them the best however when it came to them talking about her, they’d always change the topic and would never even acknowledge her. Not to mention they also shaded her at the VMAs which was very childish if u ask me.
@@Unknown-om3vf you really think that shading was their idea? Its the management’s,. Its the vma’s they always find ways for Performances to be talked about. Well yea agree camila stans always create trouble. Its the only group in history that their own fans pitted them against each other
I’m glad that Will stood by her after 5H went their separate ways, he’s a good friend.
She and Will been dating for years. He was her bf and manager.
They are dating. And decided to make it private to avoid drama.
I always wondered if they were dating
@@carpediemearth I remember Will was with her and camila when they went to Taylor's concert and camila went on backstage to shawn, while Ally and Will stayed to listen to taylor. I think camila only went so it looked like its ally, camila plus manager. when its probably a concert date of ally & will.
To hear how she actually wanted to keep the group going and she’s been the mainstream one since the groups departure ( along side the 4 others but I’m always hearing more about ally ) she’s on tv shows, she had a tour , singles , released a book. Ally is blessed and the universe is on her side.
People always said that she was the one who kept the group together after Reflection.
Ally gets a lot of push from her team, they buy radio deals, streaming playlists, book tv spots, ads, etc.
Plus her fan base are great! Really like her too... they avoid fan wars and always keep things neutral. Love that 💛
She literally deserves all the best.!
I met the group several times through meet and greets, and Ally ALWAYS remembered me and WAS ALWAYS SO NICE!
WE MUST PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS CAUSE SHE IS LITERALLY AN ANGEL.
Lauren did like her post with the cake celebrating the release of her book :(
Omg really? Can you give me the link plz?
@@lmao5284 thats what i was thinking 🥺
Lauren and Normani liked a post on her book release before that too.
Just because they dont like a post doesn’t mean they don’t care y’all are soft asl
@@eclipsechewymints7810 yes
I want to be respectful of all the women in the group, but it seems like the "higher ups" had their favorite and the others didn't matter much. I so feel for her; damn you trolls!! She was, and still is, a beautiful woman. They all brought something special to the group; not just 'one in particular' (sorry to all who may take offense to this). I wish they all could experience all of the "attention" that was given to just one (so it seems). I hope these 4 women flourish in much success as one already is.
I definitely agree
🙌🙌🙌
This is why their last album was the best. Equal distribution, we could hear all of them and what they individually brought to the group as a whole.
@Jacqueles Twali i think we can all agree that they all suffered greatly and none of the girls were to blame for these injustices. Its the labels managers that found one of the girls more profitable than the others and thus exploited her for his benefit which also created a big difference in equality between the girls.
@Jacqueles Twali yesss, wish the best for all of them 😔👊
To imagine Ally, the one who seemed like the most happy, rainbow during the years of 5h, in this darkness. It’s so sad. She was always seen as the happy Angel of the group, always positive and smiling, but behind the scenes, she was going through things like turning to wine and almost hurting herself. ❤️ we love you Ally.
I broke my back for Fifth Harmony - Ally Brooke (Finding Your Harmony)
😭
I love that she shared that. Glad to hear that the pressures of the industry didn’t affect her faith.
She seems more down to earth than most famous women. Or am I wrong?
Thats why she deserves the world
@@jvalentino6466 she does!!!
Her and Selena Gomez are the only genuine celebrities I really feel are down to earth honestly.
@@blue_008 dunno about selena lolll jk
because she is not really famous
Damn, did she left us any choice but to stan?
YES WE GOTTA STAN😍
She is a sweetheart
Ally brooke is one of the coolest
crazy how Camila's voice was not the greatest but she got 80% of the vocals on every song. not fair.
@Jess J i'm just curious why Lauren didn't work though? i think she had the strongest vocals
Lmao she's phenomenal. She can do many things with her voice
@@knorenknor3493 she didn’t have the best voice though.
Cuz camila has the most commercial pop voice. To me i like her voice the least among the four of them
@@jvalentino6466 facts
Camila made an excellent choice of leaving. Ally is brave for writing this and sharing the hardships she endured, sucks that she still wanted to be apart of that. Breaking up was a good choice because we are now seeing them as individuals and who they truly are.
I’m heartbroken. Ally is my idol. The book is so beautiful and emotional. Please everyone support her buying it. We love you ally, you’ll never be alone. Thanks for this amazing interview!
I want her to make it in this world. She have gift to sing and she is such a amazing person. I hope that she keep own doing what she love to do
Yes she is amazing
Before I discovered blackpink, it was fifth hamony who rocked my teenage life!!!
Woooww I would’ve loved a fifth harmony Christmas album 😭😩
I admire Ally even more for opening up about her struggles. Back in 5H she always seemed positive and “sunshine” in the group but she actually was going through a lot 😢 sometimes us people forget that people in the spotlight deal with real life problems too and I just love Ally even more for being so open about it and look at her now! So much happier. ❤️
“I tried to use wine to escape my pain” *me taking a sip of wine* ummm hi 👋🏾 I love you Ally Brooke
Me last night, I needa stop. Girl, can’t wait to buy the book!!
I’m happy for her and glad she is doing well.
I think no matter how grateful the girls are for 5H it was still a traumatic time for them , I LOVED 5H i was a harmonizer but they’re all happier now, love to see them happy
I'm glad she's happy now
She’s so gorgeous I loved her on X-Factor! Loved her in Fifth Harmony. Ally Brooke.
It makes me sad to hear how much Ally went through! And it’s beautiful to see how thankful she is for the group, and how she wanted to keep it together! We love u 4 girls! Stick together ❤️
I remember when Ally was body shamed 😢
In the beginning she had a banging body and was so thin and then she gained a lot of weight, obviously because something wasn’t right. I always knew she was having a hard time because you could see it in her.
Once she went solo she lost all the extra weight and she was fit and thin again, because her inside was healed.
I hate the damn internet trolls, they were always destroying Ally, those damn people don’t know how much destruction they cause. We nee internet laws, this is a free for all land today, we need regulation and a way to apply the law against criminal people 😞
Trolls are cruel. I remember Lauren, Dinah and Normani also being body shamed, especially Lauren when she gained weight. Normani when she got skinnier was body shamed sometimes.
As a women I always fluctuate with my weight. I think it's incredible stupid for people to think we should always be skinny. We have hormones and we have babies and just can't stay they same weight all the time. We are humans! I bet these trolls don't even have a perfect body and want to judge others. The internet is just such a toxic place.
finelinehaven normani was body shamed? Wow she’s always had such a bangin body ppl shame anything
@@Kare31s Ally is a foodie, so I guess she used to eat a lot to calm her anxiety and to camouflage the pain :(
@@RahmaN-iw6bz She's always been really fit, it was some trolls who criticized her when she was skinny for a short while
Ally is such a light. I want the best for her. This interview touch me. I can totally relate to turning to alcohol to numb pain. Mental health is serious and I'm glad Will was there to support her. We LOVE YOU ALLY!
Sweetest soul ever Ally.. love her❤️
Love her energy and positivity she went through such a rough time. God has tested her and she is now glowing x I hope she gets the special someone she truly deserves love you girl ❣️
Omg I TOTALLY agree! I was really HOPING they’d give us ONE MORE album and tour as JUST the 4 of them 😞 so happy for all of them tho ❤️
*I hope she gets the recognition and success she never got being in 5H* 😔❤
Yep, let hope so...
She looked great in the Flex video!!!
I hope Ally will get all the success and happiness in her life. She desreves so much more but gets so less yet she is so happy, cheerful and beautiful. May she find peace and happiness in what she does everyday. 😇😇✌✌😇😇
I guess 5 of them feel the same how they been through on 5h group how epic treat them then heres people hating on them after camila left acting like 4 girls of 5h fault about camilas reason of leaving fifth harmony
Those peoples are bunched of Camila kisses asses fans and just hating the others four members and trying to start fusing between favourites...
I just hope the other 4 girls really get the recognition they deserve.
she is so cute and seems so real, I'm really happy for her
Ally is such a queen ✨✨
I literally felt my heart shattering when ally said none of the girls reached out to her after she published her book, like I feel soooo bad for her, I actually want to cry. I’ve been a Harmonizer for years and I’m honestly so disappointed, honestly.
You are so brave Ally!
I’ve been a harmonizer since they were on X factor and I’m so proud of how far Ally has come. She’s such a strong woman. Go queen ❤️
i love how the interviewer seemed so interested in the conversation
MY KWEEN ALLY DESERVES THE WORLD
Syco was a shitty label, every single girl of the group was hurt or mad over something, the only one that took vantage of it was Camila
Wish dinah, Normani ally and Lauren the recognition that they deserve
As an actor singer who is also from San Antonio, I’m so proud of her! If she can do it so can I!
wait. she said there’s one more Christmas album, there’s one more album left.
Does that mean there’s an unreleased Xmas album then... Uh.
Christmas is right round the corner yall if you wanna gift us ;)
I know that Ally a very good, kind and faithful person!
Love Ally so much!
Ally had the highest range and strongest belt in 5H and she never got to use it.
imagine if in their 10th year of their group creation they would release a new album... the five of them... that would be so epic especially if this time they can be who they really are, sing songs that are created by them too and chosen by them...
I always have hope that in a few years they will reconcile and do a performance kind of like n'sync. Maybe 10 -15 years from now.
I kind of want this to happen, but i also feel that if camila returns for this reunion she would get all the spotlight and it would be kind of unfair for the girls. Ugh but i would love it so much. I wish they were all seen as equals
@@fredb3165 if im being honest i love camila but i love the others too... idk y people kept picking favorites its not like pcd that only one person is doing the solo... i hope they can put their ego aside and learn to work as one... sometimes its the people around (fan and label and media) thats fueling this competition between the girls... that is one thing that is better when it comes to boybands maybe dealing with these kind of things are easier...
So here fo it. 2022 WHERE YOU AT 💚💚💚💚
@@fredb3165 I honestly feel like if that had a Reunion Camilla wouldn’t be a part of it cause she basically left the group while the other girls just went on a “Hiatus” which is really just a break and I think they may have signed a contract that they reunite at a certain time but also giving them the time to grow there own career and branch out on their own. I may be wrong tho but it’s just how I feel
She's so sweet😍😍😍
She is!
Poor baby we love you sooo much and fifth harmony will never be the same without ally
Respect and love for this Queen 👑
Ally has such a beautiful soul. I love her. God bless you always Ally. ❤
Who papparazi and people would say those things about her body? She's absolutely perfect. People are disgusting
Probably same peoples who bullied, racists and threaten Normani. I guess some peoples are straight up mean...
@@Aaron-MackHartford No doubt about that...
Omg Ally, thank you for sharing this!! Keep experimenting your sound and doing all the things you love, I'm sure your debut project is going to be a really special one.
Allyson is our baby (even if she was the oldest) we love you
She is so sweet
congratulations!! I played your dad in your 2nd video..all of you were so hard working with little sleep..I think.the first one was filmed in San Diego..and you did them back to back. congratulations!!
I like Ally but things don't add up. The only people who could complain about not singing are Normani and Dinah. Everybody else was on every single song. Especially Camila and Ally so yeah.
That’s incorrect. The people that could complain about not singing are Dinah and Lauren, the only two who weren’t given a single second in a song. Everyone else sang at least a bit in every song. Lauren wasn’t in Worth It at all - their second biggest song, and they could’ve given her one line that was given more than once to another girl, or at least in the live performances. And Dinah didn’t sing in Sledgehammer. And Lauren sang the least in their debut album. Normani led their debut single Boss, but she also didn’t sing much in the early stuff. She sang more later. Outside of this, Normani and Lauren were the ones who definitely had the worst experiences individually throughout the years.
Um, not everyone had a solo part or led the chorus unlike Camila, who sang on every song prior to their third album. Normani didn’t lead a song on their EP. Dinah and Lauren didn’t have a solo on Sledgehammer and Worth It. Lauren has one line in BHB. Ally only had a few adlibs in I Lied and only sang “hey hey” in Suga Mama, which was more breathing than anything else. And Ally’s the only member of the group to have not led a single (excluding Deliver as it was a promotional single and All I Want For Christmas). Normani led BO$$ and co-led Flex. Lauren led Miss Movin On, I’m in Love With A Monster, and Work From Home. Camila had Worth It, Sledgehammer, and many more. Dinah has at least Flex as a single for their album. And the only line she was talking about was about Miss Movin On. She only has a line and an ad lib, which she thought didn’t showcase what she and the group could be. When she was able to find the courage and raise her voice, it was already too late. But she said it got better and she was able to sing more.
And you know what, she didn’t just fight about getting a line for herself, but a fair distribution for the group. She knew that some girls needed to have more. And are you really going to lie and say that Ally didn’t have the least amount of solos/parts in 7/27. It’s on Genius. Despite seeming very little, Lauren is actually the second member who sang the most. She had a few solos, a few choruses, and some harmonies that make up for it. Sometimes, Ally, Dinah, or Normani weren’t even part of the harmonies. Only Normani and Camila got to sing in every song and had a solo.
Umm no dinah was in like almost every song and Lauren and Normani really didn’t get parts :(
@@deyvahnoliver3518 no lol, Dinah probably sang the least out of all of the girls, followed by Lauren, then Ally, then Normani
@@sengyang766 Lauren sang the least of the five girls in their debut album Reflection, and despite her singing time increasing in 7/27 she still sang the second least between Reflection and 7/27 genius.com/a/a-numerical-look-at-camila-cabello-s-contributions-to-fifth-harmony-s-albums
Ally was ment for "this is how we roll" if you know you know fuxk epic
A true Queen 💞
so proud of my lil sunshine!!! :,)
Stay strong Ally
She is not with Will? What the heck lol I thought they were
They’ve been dating for years. Either they recently broke up or she’s not wanting to tell the media about it.
They are dating but they dont want make a big story about their relationship.. Because a privacy.. Of course they love each other
@@fivezalcruz I honestly think they're currently not a couple but there's def room for something in the future
I think they want to keep it private
I remember being a harmonizer🥺sometimes I do miss them but it’s okay because I found kpop which has kept me so happy but all the best of luck to ally!
😍😍😍😍 way to go Ally B!!!!
I love you ally
I love Ally!!!!!
The funny thing is... Put of all the girls her and Camila have the best Mangers .. they keep putting out music ..
I think ally is brave and taking action and helping people even if she is still a virgin I think we the fans should be supportive and accept her choices.
Go Ally! I support her faith in the faithless entertainment industry!
Those people did my Ally Boo so wrong!
And mean and probably bunch of Camila fans...
I love Ally B so much she definitely deserves the world ❤💓❤💓❤
The return of Allysus
.. would’ve never lasted day one in kpop training.
Ally girl we love and support you forever
She speaks from Her heart i love it
💙💙💙💙 im in tears! Im so happy for her! 💙💙💙 she's so radiant!
I love you ally follow your dreams best thing never had we love you ally
I love Ally ❤️
Aw I like Ally. Let me buy a copy of her book.
I didn’t even realise they were still a thing after 2016
They broke up in2017 after their last album. Camila and normani are the most successful solowise
@@tatum635 Known about camels not the other one
one of the biggest differences between 5H and LM’s careers was age; most of 5H were barely 17 when they entered their initial contract and were over sexualized and exploited with 2 members being under 18 while also not having the artistic and maturity LM had. I know especially the middle years were extremely traumatic for them with the label’s preference of Camila and the other 4 fighting left and right for the scraps being left for them. I want them to stay friends forever and have an ot4 reunion someday, but I doubt that considering how badly epic and syco treated them.
I love ally so much ! Such a huge fan. 💕
I love her so much I really hope I run into her one day to tell her how much I look up to her.
Amazing
Ally, Normani, Lauren & Dinah Always Fifth Harmony 😊🙏🤍🤍
