Hayley Williams, the respected christian lead singer of Paramore, may have recently experienced a tragic downfall in her career. After allegedly having her iPhone (or Blackberry 9000… there is some controversy here) stolen from her at a concert, a picture of her bare chest was sent to twitter via twitpic. Five minutes later, it was frantically taken down, and apologies were sent out from Hayley’s twitter. There are many discrepancies with this, from Hayley posting this picture on purpose for attention, to the picture being a mere edited gimmick of the media. Most seem to believe that this picture was taken by Hayley herself, and accidentally sent to twitter when it was supposed to be sent to her boyfriend.

Many online forums are standing up for Hayley, which is good to see. There are still true fans out there who are not willing to just jump on the band wagon of the situation. I’ve seen many comments trying to make the story clear, “Hayley lost her phone a few days ago. Someone found it, found the picture on it, and posted it to her Twitter (which was still signed in on her phone). She found it a few minutes later and took it down. I’m sure the picture was for Chad. That’s between them and shouldn’t have been put online. Cruel.” As well as some that even take offense, such as “You need to take this down. It’s pathetic and old, it obviously didn’t mean to happen and it’s not like nearly everyone takes cheeky pictures of themselves. When an icon does it, it gets blown out of proportion. youre making it worse for her posting this picture and she obviously didn’t want it there when she got hacked!! Have a bit of respect ! She lost her phone and obviously someone sent it whilst her phone was still signed into her twitter account and when retrieving the phone she deleted it. It’s just stupid people like that, that could ruin her career.” These people refuse to believe that Hayley is disrespecting her own body, and obviously want other people to stop doing so.

On the other hand, besides the male paparazzi enjoying the view, there are some other people who feel differently about Hayley’s situation. They seem to believe that Hayley is a

Regardless, I believe that pictures like this should be treated very carefully… make sure they are locked if your phone does get stolen so they cannot be sent, and double-check the address when you are sending it yourself. Once something is on the internet, it can never be taken down, so it is worth the few extra seconds of making such a picture secure.
