Fifth Harmony star Normani Kordei has said the girl group find it a "struggle" to deal with their critics on social media.
The "Work from Home" hitmakers - which includes Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, Camila Cabello and Lauren Jauregui - said it is difficult when people make nasty remarks about them on social media, reported Contactmusic.
Normani shared, "It's definitely been a struggle. Ever since day one I remember I would always look at comments online. I personally went through a really tough situation and I actually had to take it upon myself to step away from Twitter.
"I was getting a lot of hate for absolutely no reason and it really broke me down. I was away for about a month and half and I'm grateful that I took the time for myself because I felt I deserved it and I owed it to myself to step away and really find myself from social media."
The singer said people take advantage of the fact that they don't have to face any consequences whatever they may say on social media platforms.
"The problem is there's no consequences so it's very easy to say whatever you want to say without repercussions. There has so be a solution though - people are killing themselves over it and it's so sad. People need to wake up.
