Summary

When the girl group Fifth Harmony was formed on The X Factor in 2012, it grew to sell nearly half a million albums and scored two top 5 Billboard Hot 100 hits. But as Fifth Harmony's profile rose, so did fans' awareness that something was off—specifically between Camila Cabello and the rest of the group.

This feud shows us what happens when a bunch of solo teenage artists are forced to form a band for the sake of reality TV and who gets hurt in the fallout.
