Fans of Fifth Harmony were left stunned this week when news broke that Camila Cabello had decided to leave the band… without confiding in her band mates first.

Releasing a statement to the press and public on social media, the four remaining singers claimed that Camila's decision was only shared with them through her representatives – a claim which Camila vehemently denied on Twitter last night.

Taking to her own social media channel, Camila insisted that her former band mates were well aware that she intended to part ways with the band.

"I was shocked to read the statement the Fifth Harmony account posted without my knowing," Camila wrote. "The girls were aware of my feelings through the long, much needed conversations about the future we had during the tour."

"Saying that they were just informed through my representatives that I was 'leaving the group; is simply not true," she continued in the lengthy post which has racked up a staggering 170,000 likes since its upload last night.

"Just like the other girls said in their statement abut their plans, I had also planned to continue with my own solo endeavours in the new year but I did not intend to end things with Fifth Harmony this way."

"As sad as it is to see this chapter ending this way, I will continue to root them all on as individuals and as a group. I wish nothing but the best for them, all the success in the world and true happiness."

And if Camila's post wasn't enough to send the Fifth Harmony camp into overdrive, a leaked audio which seems to feature Lauren Jauregui and Ally Hernandez is currently circulating online, and it does not paint the best picture of the Fifth Harmony experience.

"They're making decisions on a regular basis to f*** us over! To make us literal slaves! Literally slaves, Ally." a female voice believed to be Lauren exclaims. "We're doing f***ing labor every day and we see nothing!"

Between the drug possession, the departure and the tape, this has got to be one of the most dramatic weeks in Fifth Harmony history.

We've heard it time and time again – trust and honesty are two of the most important parts of the foundation for any healthy relationship.

But could lying actually help you and your other half to last the distance? According to science, that could indeed be true – as long as you're lying to yourself.

Researchers in Buffalo, New York, monitored around 200 couples over the period of a few years. Each half of the couple was asked individually at various times about how they felt about the quality of their relationship, and also about the traits they felt an "ideal, imaginary partner" would have.

One glaring observation the researchers noticed? Many of the couples felt that their other halves were very similar to the idea of Mr/Ms Right they had in their head – even if their spouse didn't report those traits in themselves.

So while you might say your partner is super-thoughtful for the surprise delivery of roses that arrived at your door on Valentine's, they might not necessarily think of it that way themselves – especially if the "surprise" only came about as a result of a frantic reminder text about Valentine's from their mum/sister/BFF.

According to the researchers in Buffalo, the couples who think better of their spouses – regardless of the reality – did better in the long run, because each half of the couple wanted to work to live up to their partners expectations.

Basically, your positive reaction to those last-minute roses might be the exact thing that spurs your other half on to do something extra special next Valentine's, just to keep you smiling.

Of course, the researchers warn that this advice certainly does not apply to more drastic situations like abuse or downright unhealthy relationships – but they noted that for couples who were already in a good place, a little delusion could go a long way.
