Camila Cabello slams paparazzi for taking her bikini photos: ‘I’ve never had a worse time’
Camila Cabello blasted photographers for wrecking her weekend beach getaway in Miami.
The singer claimed she “didn’t breathe” and “held her core so tight her abs hurt” while paparazzi pictured her in a bikini from all angles in a long Instagram post about her body troubles.
“I’ve felt super vulnerable and unprepared – I’ve worn bikinis that were too small and paid no mind to how I looked,” Cabello, 25, confessed in her post.
The singer said that she’s “been so upset” after viewing photographs and comments on social media.
“I reminded myself when it impacted my self-esteem that I was thinking the culture’s thoughts and not my own,” she added, “A culture who has gotten so used to an image of what a healthy woman’s body looks like that is completely not real for a lot of women.”

Cabello, whose third studio album, Familia, is set to be released on April 8, explained that she’s “a single woman in her 20s in the middle of a s**t ton of [album] promo,” who just wanted to “look good.’”
“Today I got a new bikini, a whole f**kin’ cute outfit, put lip gloss on, and didn’t eat anything too heavy before going in the OCEAN cause I knew it was gonna be basically a whole photoshoot,” she revealed, referring to her animal print two-piece.

“I held my core so tight my abs hurt and didn’t breathe and barely smiled and was so self conscious of where the paps were the whole time i couldn’t let go and relax and do what we’re meant to do when we go out into nature.”
The former “Fifth Harmony” singer ended her statement by telling fans that she wants to “get back to feeling like 7 year old me on the beach,” when she was “happy, silly, breathing, pretending to be a mermaid, FREE.”
“I’ve never had a worse time at the beach,” she continued. “I’m not yet at the point in my journey where I can not give a f—k.”
Camila feels that’s a dreadful way to live, and she says she suffers with feeling obligated to depict herself in a fictitious image imposed on her by society’s beauty standards.
Cabello’s renowned pals were quick to respond with messages of love and support in the comments section.
Fellow singer Kesha, 35, commented, “Ur a f***ing queen and are perfect. I also relate my love the patriarchy wins when we starve ourselves … and for who? NAH. Thank u for the honesty.”
