Lauren Jauregui on silence in Hollywood, latest single, and what she says is an “obvious genocide”

Cuban-American singer-songwriter Lauren Jauregui joined us on Real Talk Online to speak about a silence in Hollywood, western double standards, her latest single and what she says is an “obvious genocide”. Lauren was catapulted to international fame as a member of Fifth Harmony, one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. And since going solo her music has racked up tens - if not hundreds - of millions of hits. She’s also just put out a new music video, ’The day the world blows up’, which includes prominent Palestine and Gaza imagery. #RealTalk is a Middle East Eye interview show hosted by Mohamed Hashem that delves into the stories and experiences of a diverse range of guests.
