While promoting her upcoming memoir "Finding Your Harmony: Dream Big, Have Faith, and Achieve More Than You Can Imagine", in an interview, Ally Brooke mentioned an incident from her days in Fifth Harmony when she felt lost and helpless and was desperately searching for guidance and help:

"There was a lot going on in the group and I was dealing with a lot at a certain point. I had asked for outside help and advice,” she recalled. “I was kinda desperate. I need help please give me advice, I don’ know what to do here and how to get through this and make everything better. Really, I didn’t have much to open me up and much life in me at this point. So I was really looking for help.”

Adding, “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. 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. Just a searing humiliation and even afraid. At the time what could I do? I was just a small girl in a group and all these people had the power."

"Finding Your Harmony: Dream Big, Have Faith, and Achieve More Than You Can Imagine" comes out October 13th and is available to pre-order.
