Her most recent post on Instagram was a photo of Cabello with a quote from Warsan Shire: “I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.”

The girls were aware of my feelings through the long, much needed conversations about the future that we had during tour. Saying that they were just informed through my representatives that I as ‘leaving the group’ is simply not true. Just like the other girls said in their statement about their plans, I had also planned to continue with my own solo endeavors in the new year but I did not intend to end things with Fifth Harmony this way.” Read Cabello’s full message here.
