Fifth Harmony star Lauren Jauregui has revealed that she is bisexual.
The 20-year-old singer discussed her sexuality in an open letter on Billboard, in which she blasted those who voted for Donald Trump in the recent US presidential election.
"I am a bisexual Cuban-American woman and I am so proud of it. I am proud to be part of a community that only projects love and education and the support of one another," she wrote.
Directly addressing those who supported Trump, she added: "To every single Trump supporter trying to say that voting for Trump does not mean that you are racist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic... That you just like the way he didn't really care what people thought and just said whatever he wanted... That he wasn't a politician, so he wasn't part of the establishment and didn't have corrupt money backing him. This is for you:
"Your words are worthless, because your actions have led to the single-handed destruction of all the progress we've made socially as a nation. You have, with your pure ignorance and refusal to understand the way the government and the world works, allowed a power-hungry business tycoon to take over the United States of America.
"The land of the free, the home of the brave, under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for ALL. You are HYPOCRITES."
Lauren penned the letter after speculation about her sexuality increased when a photograph of herself kissing another woman was leaked.
