Fifth Harmony VS The Vamps Over James Mcvey Comments

[@5thHarmony]

" "calm down it was just a joke" THIS IS THE PROBLEM!!! people think that you can be disrespectful and degrading towards women and then just brush it off by saying it was a "joke". well let me tell you something, it’s not fucking funny, and it’s also sexist as shit nonetheless. making fun of and mocking a woman, a woman you have DATED and should have even more respect for, is in fact sexist. stop letting men get away w these things."

[@ClayBrice]

Women should not have to be disrespected by such inappropriate comments. Women don't deserve to be treated as objects. Women deserve to be treated with respect and love, & kindness and generosity. I'm a man myself, and I know well that one of the best ways to get far in life is to treat others with respect. It's like the old saying goes: "You give and you get." I know how to treat a woman, by doing something nice, such as holding the door for them. I've been taught well by my dad, and his advice never lets me down.

[@Sarah-gj8fw]

I'm gonna have to go with Fifth Harmony for this one, but they, and their fans, use the word sexism to loosely. It was disrespectful, but it had nothing to do with sexism.

[@MsAllGoodNameTAKEN]

That's my point! Sexism is a strong word and they just threw it out there. They need to look up the word and figure out its meaning. The comment was rude and not thought through obviously, but it wasn't sexist.

[@udabaeornaw9051]

It's sexism because they treated Lauren as if she were an object. "We all had a go" wtf? Lauren Jauregui is not some sort of carnival ride in which you wait for your turn. She's a goddamn PERSON. And a really really good person at that. They objectified her and it's sexism because men have habits of treating women had their little toy things

[@MsAllGoodNameTAKEN]

Sexism is the discrimination or devaluation based on a person's sex or gender, as in restricted job opportunities, especially such discrimination directed against women. To deem the comment as sexist they would have had to say their comment BECAUSE SHES A FEMALE not because she's lauren. The guys would never say that just because she's a girl. If they did that would have been sexist.

[@Sarah-gj8fw]

Udabae Ornaw Not really. Although the fact that some men treat women like objects is true, a lot of people (especially women) tend to throw the word "sexism" out there without thought. Sexism means stereotyping a gender. In my opinion, the James dude was just being rude and disrespectful towards Lauren, but not in anyway sexist.

[@bry7887]

Brad and Lauren were dating. It's confirmed in their book. James and Tris didn't mean what they said in the way everyone took it, they aren't like that. Tris is the shyest guy ever and is so respectful and James is all about equality and is the nicest guy you'll meet. Yes I am a Vampette. I can see why some might take it the wrong way, but the boys were just saying something as quickly as possible to deflect the question away from Brad, as they usually do when asked about their private lives. Anyways at the time James and Tris were in a relationship 😂 The two bands are still friends and this hate between the fandoms needs to stop. I think this all is just a massive misunderstanding and I understand the fandoms were just protecting their favs ❤️ thank you

the girls defending what james said on the comment section below, how have you demean yourself so much ladies.

[@hollybenfield1550]

IT WAS A JOKE FGS, LOOK IT UP, btw it is British humour that's why he said it 👋🏼

[@finnathought8315]

+Holly Benfield The fact that it's a joke doesn't make it any better. Admit they did wrong and move on for fucks sake.

[@kileygoodie2391]

Really and truly I see nothing wrong with what he said. I think he meant it like everytime they hang out with someone of the opposite sex the whole world thinks they’re dating. So tris and James were basically being sarcastic as usual in interviews. What James said is blown completely out of proportion. I don’t really think I demeaned myself by thinking rationally. 😅

[@victoriam9269]

But joking like that and just passing it off as British humor doesn't make it any less disrespectful.

[@applejuice1067]

The comment was ambiguous everyone needs to calm tf down. You can clearly see that one the interviewer asked the question Brad was a bit uncomfortable, i think tris and james were just trying to enlighten the mood and get over the akwardness. Really people get so butthurt about this stuff. seriously we should focus on more important stuff like how im watching clever tv instead of studying for finals

[@fifitims]

Magical Duck How did he call her a whore? It didn't come out off his mouth though. He could have meant something else like he explained in the tweet but worded it in a wrong way. Like how sometimes people mean something else but say it in a wrong way. But maybe I am being clueless and not too bothered to look into things.

[@magicalduck9744]

You don't need him to say the word to know what that sentence means, unless you're 10 years old or younger.. and yes he explained what he meant but that was after all the rage. People have the right to be offended by all that. By the way, I'm not defending people who sent death threats, those are sick and need to stop.

[@fifitims]

True. Because I would mean something else but word it the wrong way so I probably this was another case. When they showed me this interview, I thought he meant this "We all tried to flirt with her," then I laughed knowing he had failed at dating her but I didn't know it impacted other people. I apologise for that. I am not saying that people shouldn't be offended by that by the way. I probably didn't see it the way other people did. So yeah, people should be offended by what he said. And yes, the death threats need to STOP. Yes, you can love your idol but sending death threats to other people is disgusting.

[@magicalduck9744]

vyvyensimpson they are fan and all fans defend their idols no matter what.. I didn't insult him at all but at least it should have been obvious to everyone that her fans would go crazy after his comment.. you can't stop them .. no one can..

[@magicalduck9744]

vyvyensimpson who knows what you and his fans would do if he was the one insulted

[@princespeach90]

honestly what an over reaction, they are teenage boys, i mean yeah he shouldn't of said nor should he be expected to or pardoned for saying it because of the fact he's a boy but still the reaction was a bit over the top, from 5h and their fans.

[@hherr723]

It doesn't mean people need to start this whole chaos on social media and dissing like this and spreading hate. Obviously the boys do make mistakes and people have to expect that. I'm going to finish this off with these words: EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES, AND WE LEARN FROM THEM.

[@daniehhla9859]

"Boys will be boys!!! Cause they can't be men."

didn't say it is okay nor expected, i just said it was an over reaction, and people make mistakes, boys including

[@princespeach90]

Pandaabeer443 i completely agree

[@abdiazizali1611]

princespeach90 it was sexsim because if a guy dated a ton of girls he would be applaused for it but for a girl she's a 'slut' which is so not true

[@rubyxela7370]

Tbh it's pretty funny when they call them "little boys" because they are practically the same age as them and James is older than most members of 5h😂

[@rubyxela7370]

[@MsAllGoodNameTAKEN]

Honestly this whole thing was blown out of proportion. James and Tristan were just trying to divert the attention from Brad and Lauren. The way they said it could have been done better but he didn't mean harm. As a Harmonizer, I lost a lot of respect for Dinah Normani and Camila. If they had a problem they should have dealt with it privately and be the bigger people. I have major respect for Lauren who didn't put too much out there and stayed classy. I also have gained Tons of respect for Ally because she stayed classy as well. I don't think James meant harm, after all he was the one helping to vote for the girls the awards. also I love how Clevver stayed neutral and didn't choose sides.💚💙❤️💜

[@MsAllGoodNameTAKEN]

Lucy Vega... I didn't say what they said was okay. The way it was said wasn't the best way. But honestly I expected more out of the girls. They've always been the one to take the high road. I wasn't fond of them taking it to Twitter. I understood if Lauren was the one putting it on blast because she's directly involved but she didn't. She kept it classy. So did Ally. Major props to them. But the rest, that was just stupid. they stopped low

[@MsAllGoodNameTAKEN]

Sukee Tee... The thing is that's not what they meant. It came off wrong. I understand that it sounded worse that what was meant. They trying to divert the attention. Granted there were better ways to do so, but they tried. Even if it was a diss the girls should have kept it classy and not stoop to that level.

[@catalinadrivesya]

How would they deal with it privately if those assholes humillated Lauren publicly?

[@MsAllGoodNameTAKEN]

First off they're not assholes. If Lauren felt humiliated she should have gone to them. Take that crap away from the public. When they tried to handle things over the Internet in front of the world that creates a lot more drama than needed

[@MsAllGoodNameTAKEN]

^^^ the words he chose were a bad combo. He didn't mean it the way it sounds. Your telling you've NEVER said something and it came out sounding like something else? Wether it sounded meaner or sassier or dirty?

[@anaisdaniels1211]

How was what they said sexism!? I'm confused. Use the word right, stop throwing out everywhere for everything. Anyways, it wasn't that big of a deal, but everyone is always in their feelings when it comes to someone they care about. Still like the both The Vamps and Fifth Harmony, and hopes this blows out. It's actually really petty tbh, but that's just me.

[@goaliepeep724]

it's considered sexism because they slut shamed her, when typically a boy who would be involved with a member of a girl group wouldn't be attacked that way unprovoked. Truthfully, I think the Vamp's comments were unnecessary and fifth harmony reacted like any best friends would to their friend, but I do think that Harmonizers can go overboard, as seen with 5sos and one of the hashtags today. But I don't think this is petty because it was a situation that needed to be addressed because Fifth Harmony is constantly slut shamed. Still love the Vamp's music, just disliked their words today

[@natisacow]

Maggi Driscoll "because they slut shamed her" -- they literally said nothing about her being a slut...

[@krutt35]

Saying "we all had a bit of a go" is implying that Lauren was passed around like an object and that's objectifying which is in fact sexism.

[@natisacow]

Hi, I'm Thora But they never meantioned the word "slut", so I literally have NO idea how the "slut shaming" thing happened.. I mean, they didn't even say the word so how *could* they be slut shaming?

[@krutt35]

natisacow :3 I don't get why some people are saying that they slut shamed either but objectifying is a whole different matter. Besides all that sexism, it was just disrespectful :/

They implied that Lauren was getting around because James said " I haven't DATED her for a while" then the other dude said "I was from April to December (or whatever)", not "who flirted with who", so his excuses are invalid. Hopefully the Vamps will learn from their mistake.

[@marlenerosa1697]

Its 2017 and i just heard about this lol, this was such a gross comment. He tried to divert his coment. But NO just NO, he said what he said. He even said "Im joking" after saying "we all had a bit of a go".It was clear, theres was no saving it other than admitting and apologizing. But this was a gross comment. He shamed her publicly for the sake of just talking and trying to get out of an uncomfortable situation at her cost.

Oh my gosh! This is the first time actually seeing the video of what he said and I absolutely cannot believe that he thinks that he can just brush it off by half-heartedly saying, "I'm just joking." That was completely immature, rude, and disrespectful to especially Lauren and women in general. It was amazing how much support flooded after the video and how Harmonizers, Mixers, Dinah, Camila, Normani, and so many other men and women all came TOGETHER to defend Lauren, and talk about women injustice. So the next time James or anybody thinks about talking or joking about women or a member of Fifth Harmony that way, watch out, because Harmonizers, any of the girls, and I will NOT accept it.

[@emilyy240]

I have been a vampette for 3 years now and I think 5h are crap. Just to be straight up, can't you harmonizers put up with a bit of banter? Clearly James and Tris was joking about it and my opinion is that 5h has taken the advantage of their fans protecting them rather than them putting any effort in, as per usual. 5h takes advantage of their fans and put them in the front of the storm, but the vamps care and actually like their fans. My opinion, not yours.

[@emilyy240]

James said it was a slip up so who can't say it wasn't if he said it himself? This has gone way too far and harmonizers need to calm their shit down.

[@Joanna-jc8ni]

I agree with you, seriously they don't know what joke means. Harmonizers overreacted and not for te first time last summer , mtv vma's they were hating on 5sosfam because they were on the lead that's so disrespectful .I'm not hating but it's annoying when they do that

[@5619086]

+Emily Gray excuse me but it's not funny to say things like that, women deserve respect and if a man have education he should know that even joking he have to be careful with his words, and after that they started to act like they don't care about it, a lot of teenagers see these people like their role models, so if you sing for a living and you thousands of people looking at you, you should be careful and mature don't you think?

[@praveenamadumali2607]

Say whatever bullshit you wanna say about the girls but what your favorites said about Lauren was really disgusting and sexist towards women! joke or not it was not funny at all just cheap!

[@alexiscaballero13]

[@rachelthomas6883]

tbh, if this is anybody's fault, it's the interviewer for asking the question. I'm completely on the vamps side and I've loved them for almost 3 years. brad didn't want to get asked that question, he can have a private life. 5h just overreacted to a small comment that didn't hurt anyone. they wanted publicity.

[@hyperlinks14]

Fifth Harmony could've handled it better but how are you justifying Jame's actions? He tried to take the awkwardness away from Brad but that comment was not appropriate whatsoever!

This is so ridiculous, if she said that about any of the vamps no one would think of it as anything but a harmless joke. Get over it lmao.

[@Vicninerluv96]

joke or not its disrespectful...he has yet to say sorry to lauren and ....I dont think Laurens dad found it funny he wants to beat their bootys ...also why would you all go after the girls .....just say sorry to her cause he was clearly wrong for saying that.....I think its sweet though cause the harmonizers and Camz started the hashtag Lauren is our princess ....they need to man up and admit they were wrong...and to be clear I am pretty sure Tristan never had Lauren ....dont disrespect a lady like that ....they lost all my respect

[@joymercer2216]

I agree that what James said was disrespectful and wrong but in fact he did apologize and also the only one that dated her was Brad. However I think they wanted to keep it more private so when they asked that question and Brad didnt respond james and tristan spoke up. I admit they could've said nicer things, but it got blown way out of proportion with people telling the vamps to kill themselves and saying that they raped her.

[@xBustedHeart]

Omfg people are so overdramatic. Yes what they said was a bit out of line but I don't think it was meant to cause so much of a stir. Like they're teenage guys and they joke about these sort of things on a daily basis and I mean it's just a little fun light humor.

Ya'll misunderstood James! When he said "We all had a go", he meant that they all had a go on flirting or seducing Lauren. Most of u said Lauren was gorgeous right?? So yeah. And no offense for 5H fans, Lauren was the first one who said that the Vamps were childish. The Vamps wouldn't do that for no reason. I mean, everything has reasons. That's why. Lauren was having "backfires" or "karma". No offense to 5H fans. Don't blame me for standing up on James. I'm just doing this because I respect all of u guys including 5H fans, Vamps fans or anyone.

I think harmonisers need to chill. Yes, what James and Tristan said was wrong, it wasn't that big of a deal, there are way worse things happening. I have completely lost any respect I had for Normani, Dinah and Camila (idk). They shouldn't have egged things on publicly. Calling The Vamps immature while they are calling people out publicly and making this a huge thing is a bit hypocritical. My opinion, thanks.

[@Blueishyellow11]

I know (and I'm sure every harmonizer knows) that it was a joke but it was a very disrespectful and rude thing to say. just because something is said as a joke that doesn't make it okay to say. They practically called her a slut. Now for those vamps' fans on here saying that 5h and all they're fans over reacted, you can't possibly be serious? like I get the fact that they wanted to make light of the conversation and I guess what Evan said wasn't that bad but they should've just stopped their, James took it a little to far. Just saying.

look before you accuse me of being bias.. im really not a huge fan of either band but from the looks of it TheVamps were completely taken out of context and what they said was completely misconstrued. At the same time however it was incredibly immature but they're just kids they're allowed to be immature. And lastly 5H fans completely blew it out of proportion I mean are you serious they started so much drama. WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY AVOIDED. and fifth harmony for entertaining this ridicule? nah girls nah. you need to check yourself, sexism is a huge thing and don't fight a petty battle in the name of feminism. it a serious allegation you're making against the vamps. it was way too attention seeking. the vamps should apologise yes, but not after the backlash you gave them. you girls were just as immature as them. so don't think you're walking a higher ground you girls still got a long way to go. mxm.

For me, The vamps was just misunderstood. I mean, it was kind of mean/rude but they were just misunderstood by the 5h fans and 5h themselves.

Sure 5h fans may have overreacted, but the comment was still kind of insulting, especially to a group who's brand is girl power... Just think before u talk, but I do agree it was taken out of proportion.

[@ClayBrice]

Joslyn Davis Clevver News The ladies of Fifth Harmony don't deserve to be disrespected at all, and I agree with what Camila tweeted. A man will stick up for a woman when she's being disrespected, and a man should treat a woman with respect.

[@normanijauregui7008]

It definitely was rude. Of course he said, "Just joking" but that was just a quick damage control comment along with his tweets. Joke or not, malicious intent or not, it wasn't funny, it was rude and immature. They need to learn to speak more before they speak.

[@chessholdsworth329]

When people on here are saying 'Lost all respect for the vamps' if something as stupid as this can change your opinion on them you obviously don't know enough about them to begin with! They are some of the most genuine kind hearted people I have ever seen and I am proud to support them with what they are doing and you should be supporting them on the music they make not just because of who they are so if you like their music but don't agree with what has happened then that's fine don't like them as people you can still enjoy their music because it is AMAZING and that's what they are here to do... make music!

[@caitlinhillier3437]

This is sooo stupid James and Triston were joking... Don't get me wrong I like fifth harmony and there a group of talented beautiful girls but the Vamps did nothing wrong. Brad even mentioned in other interviews that they joke and be sarcastic to get out of personal questions they don't want to answer. Lauren, Dinah and Normani took this the wrong way like do they really need to tweet about this... I know I sound like a hater but I'm not I love fifth harmony and the vamps and I personally want Triston and Dinah to date so yeah ...

[@Abymilde]

It is so hard for women in this industry. Guys can bring groupies around and sleep whoever and it's ok but if a girl does the same she's titled a slut, whore etc. These comments The Vamps made were completely inappropriate and if lauren and her bandmates didn't address it and shut it down, Lauren would have been seen as a hoe, got treated like a hoe and it would ruin her career. And once her career is ruined, what do you think will happen? Lauren may look strong and may look like a fighter who'd snuff you if you messed with her but she's actually really sensitive. If those comments were left unaddressed and ended up sparking rumors, and her reputation became dirtied effecting her and/or her group members success, she wouldn't be able to handle it. Those STUPID vamps would have done some real detrimental damage to her. Words can kill, remember!

People say that it's a bunch of drama, which it is, that the Vamps started. The question was pointed towards BRAD, who was RUMORED to be dating Lauren. Tristan and James had no right answering a question pointed towards him about something personal, like a relationship. Tristan said, "I was April to December," James said, "We all had a bit of a go." They all laughed after that. What the hell was so funny about that? That's not only slut shaming Lauren, acting like she was passed around like an object, that's also VERY sexist, rude, disrespectful and very uncalled for. Brad didn't even defend her. Who does that? James' apology wasn't even an apology. He LIED just to cover his own ass from getting hate. The question was NOT about flirting, it was about dating Lauren. They publically humiliated that girl and don't wanna own up for it. Boys will be boys, right? These clearly aren't men because they are very stupid and immature for doing this. It is not a joke to embarrass someone and and it damn sure isn't a joke to degrade a woman. Fifth Harmony did NOT overreact to this situation. They did the right thing, when they could have done waaaay WORSE. I'm very proud of how they handled everything. :) #LaurenIsOurPrincess #LaurenDefenseSquad
