“There’s a reason there are only 3 people left in Paramore. Surprise, haters, it ain’t cause of me,” Williams wrote.

“Paramore do not condone religiously/politically dogmatic beliefs which leave our LGBTQ+ friends, fans, & family feeling abandoned and hopeless.

“If that doesn’t jive with you, well, feel free to go to where all past members of Paramore have gone which is literally anywhere else but Paramore.”

“To Paramore’s LGBTQ+ family,” she continued, specifically addressing Brian J O’Connor, the creative director of her hair dye company Good Dye Young, “you are full of love and you are loved.”
