After joining Jessie J to fly the flag for British music on US soil in 2012, 2015 will see Rita Ora extend her reach to the world of cinema, doing so with the film adaptation of E. L. James‘ ‘Fifty Shades of Grey.’

Now, as she looks forward to the project’s February 13th release date, the ‘Black Widow’ singer has weighed in on feminism and the role of women in the entertainment industry.

Will you agree with what she has to say?

Speaking to ‘The Mirror‘, Ora shared:

I think people take the word feminist really seriously and I think people are scared to use that word. In this industry, all the heads of labels are men, but every artist has to prove themselves, regardless of their sex. I have always been very vocal about the women sticking together. Without pulling the whole female card, I think it has always been harder for females in all respects. Whenever we have an opinion it always seems to be taken out of proportion. As a woman in this industry, it has always been a bit about proving yourself.
