In the week since releasing her new song, “Girls,” Rita Ora has faced backlash from fans and multiple queer artists who feel that the lyrics trivialize the nature of sexuality. Ora has since taken to Twitter and apologize for her song, saying, “I would never intentionally cause harm to other LGBTQ+ people or anyone.”
Now, actress and model Cara Delevingne has entered the ongoing debate, saying that the criticisms against Ora’s song aren’t accounting for her own truth. “I don't think it's right to say her experience and her words are wrong,” she told Paper magazine. “If she hadn't ever felt that way and it wasn't true then that would be weird. She's being proud of something and saying it.”
