5 Seconds of Summer just endured sexual harassment in an interview

But she's a woman, so we guess nobody will talk about it. - by Bianca Mastroianni

5 Seconds of Summer just endured sexual harassment in an interview

5 Seconds of Summer are currently jet-setting around the world performing their new music. And with that, comes interviews.

While most interviews have been respectful and you know... professional, this one certainly was not, and we feel disgusted just watching it.

Chatting to R101 Radio in Italy, the boys were - and we're saying it how it is without sugar coating anything - sexually harassed by the female host.

It started off horribly anyway when the host started pushing for when the album comes out, and when they couldn't answer, she'd push them by saying "I'm blonde! I'm young!" 

K hun.

After a bunch of boring, weird questions (where we saw a lot of these faces...)

.

"wtf"

.

"I'm the charming one and I can't even fix this situation"

.

"kill me"

...things got out of hand.

The host turned her back to Michael Clifford, and asked him to fix the button on her shirt.

He didn't want to. But he did. That's when he realised her button was already done up... and she wanted him to UNDO it.

"I have a girlfriend I can't do this," Mikey screamed, flinging his hands back.

After making Luke Hemmings do it, she told the boys to take off their clothes while she removed her own shirt.

Yep.

When they all refused, she forced them to take their jackets off at least.

The most uncomfortable interview of 5 Seconds Of Summer (Minute 7:03)

While the boys are laughing about the entire situation, it's obvious how uncomfortable they are.

But the worst part is that if that female host was a male, and the artists were female, headlines would be BLOWING up by now with outrage. However, they haven't. And that's utterly disturbing.

Sexual harassment is a heavy term to throw around, but forcing people to take their clothes off (when they obviously don't want to) and proceeding to take your own off - putting others in an uncomfortable situation - is serious, and this woman should be held accountable for her actions.
