Billboard: Inside Camila's Exit
Inside Camila Cabello's Fifth Harmony Exit: Where Did It All Go Wrong?
Quote:

[...]the label is staring down a deadline at the end of December by which the company has to decide whether to pick up the group's option for a third full-length album (Epic Records has not commented on the status of the deal; reps for Fifth Harmony and Cabello declined further comment).

Although Fifth Harmony's recording contracts are structured as individual solo deals, allowing them to make music both as a unit and on their own, according to multiple sources, tensions had been festering among the group members for some time as Cabello increasingly voiced her desire to pursue a career outside the group.

But while a source close to the situation insists "Camila could not have been clearer about her desire to leave the group,” refusing repeated outreach and suggestions of meetings and group discussions, here is where the details get fuzzy -- who wasn't speaking to whom, for one. Was it Cabello versus the four, with an occasional ally in Dinah Jane? Or was it a full-on silent treatment, paused only when a group appearance on stage or in the media demanded it? And was Cabello replaceable (an idea to launch a search for a new singer via a reality show was discussed and shot down)

The idea of a "hiatus” was offered by the Cabello camp, but the other members of Fifth Harmony would not agree to waiting out her solo career. The iron was hot now.

[...]previous sit-downs with a therapist would "historically devolve into a four-against-one scenario, much like the dynamic in the current public battle of statements we are seeing, and were largely unproductive.” Instead, "Camila felt that the best way to communicate effectively with her bandmates was one-on-one, which she did during the European tour.”

In fact, Fifth Harmony's label, Epic Records, has been planning a Cabello solo album for the better part of a year, putting the 19-year-old in the studio with such hitmakers as Benny Blanco and Diplo in addition to songwriters Madison Love ("Bad Things”), Johnny Mitchell and Amarr, and producers Futuristics ("Bad Things”) and Serm (Sean Paul's "No Lie”). According to a source, the album is well on its way, with sessions booked through January. Cabello's first solo single could be out as soon as March or April with an album to follow in the summer.
