In defense of Hayley Williams, twitpic drama or not
May 28, 2010 by Beatweek
The odds are that you landed on this page because you were searching for “Hayley Williams twitpic” or some variant, and you’re looking for the private photo of the Paramore singer that hit the internet last night. Here’s a thought: don’t bother. Move on. Go look at half naked pictures of some other women who actually wanted to be seen topless on the internet. Hayley clearly didn’t. Whether it was because her Twitter account was hacked as she claimed, or more likely due to the fact that she had just begun using a new Twitter app and had a misunderstanding of how it worked, that twitpic of her was meant for the eyes of one person, and it wasn’t you. Everyone makes mistakes, and this one on her part was an honest one. Don’t punish her for it. As a rock star, and specifically as a young female rock star, she’s already facing a daunting enough task when it comes to keeping a precious few aspects of her private life private. Let’s not make that even more difficult for her by playing peeping tom with pictures of her breasts which, while taken by her own hand, were never meant for public consumption. Plenty of famous female singers have purposely posed naked for public consumption of late; go check them out instead if that’s your thing.
No doubt some of you will leave here and head back to the search engines in a continued attempt to find the photo of Hayley Williams in question. So be it, she’s of age, the morality police aren’t going to stop you. But if you absolutely have to go see what all the fuss is about, then at least don’t punish her for it career wise. She’s one of the more promising up and coming female rockers of her generation; let’s not put today’s little incident in the first line of Paramore’s rock obituary.
