NEW YORK (CBS) A topless picture of Paramore's Hayley Williams randomly surfaced on the singer's Twitter page Thursday.

The 21-year-old frontwoman claims the photo was posted on Twitter without her permission.

"Well...my night just changed drastically, got hacked," the redheaded singer later tweeted.

PICTURES: Hayley Williams' TwitPic Scandal

The photo, posted for all of her 600,000 plus followers to see, shows Williams' staring seductively at the camera while lying in bed.

Williams' quickly reacted and stripped the photo from the social networking site, but was too late to tame the wild fire, as the photo made its rounds and was spread virally across the internet.

But was her account really hacked?

This question had countless users taking sides, with some quickly moving to her defense, while others are speculating that the singer accidentally posted the picture herself. Either way, the redheaded singer is creating quite the buzz.

Williams is the lead vocalist for Paramore, an emo-punk rock band that has been commerically successful with teens. Its breakout success album, "Riot," earned it a Best New Artist Grammy Nomination in 2008. Along with Williams, the band consists of Taylor York, Jeremy Davis and Josh and Zach Farro.

by oh-well-move-on August 23, 2010 3:32 AM EDT: Okay, so she made a mistake. She's a 21 year old woman who's constantly on tour. She might have some guy she's interested in or dating and can't see him for a while. I'm guessing that at least half, if not more, of people under the age of 30 have sent a dirty pic to someone else. It was a mistake and she didn't want to own up to accidently posting it onto twitter. She has a lot of people that watch her actions closely and was probably trying to avoid this right here. From what I know, this is the first bad mark on her publicity record, and people are already throwing out names like skank. Everyone needs to stop judging and move on. It's ridiculous.; Reply to this comment


by getrealidiot July 16, 2010 12:05 PM EDT: Ask your self, does she really seem like she needs anymore attention? So WHY the F*** would she post it up! Exactly, she is already admired by everyone. And you know media ****** like to hack in and post stuff about celebs just to create more drama and something else to write about. So lets get real people. You know and I know that Hayley didn't post the freaking picture. Also for you that say "well she took the pic" Well NO SH** Sherlock, she is a grown woman with a boyfriend! Lots of grown women know what Im talking about, and little tweens, go talk to mom and dad about the birds and the bees! Obviously it wasn't meant to be posted, They hacked her computer and stole the pic, same with alot of celebs and then everyone blows up and goes, how could they do that OMG!!! THEY"RE GROWN! What they do in their personal time is up to them. So grow up and all you adolescent teens know that you've sent a pic or 2 to your man! So lets get real!; Reply to this comment

everyone deserves to be trusted.now as for Hayley,if it is true,she should woman up
and admitt to her mistake and atleast tell the truth or admiit to falt...on another
not Hayley your a woman now."when I was a child,I thought like a child and
acted like a child,but when I became a man I thought like a man."I think it's
time to relize your a leader,wether you like it or not you are.don't you think
your fans of young ages are getting the wrong idea?I mean think about it?
What example did you display?honestly I thought highly of you,still do but
now i have doubt in my head that you will be juss like the other women who
are consumed by this worlds demand for sexual morality....I still suport you as fan and
I give my respect and trust that you'll do and know what is right.; Reply to this comment


by anonymous314 May 30, 2010 1:21 PM EDT: she probably took the pic herself, and i have no idea why. So she took it, doesn't mean she posted it. She probably saved it on her phone, and was gonna send it to someone else when a third person got their hands on her phone and posted the photo; Reply to this comment


by cfleischmann May 30, 2010 5:29 AM EDT: EXIF data shows it was done on her Blackberry 9000 at 2010:05:27 19:40:11 if you examine the original photo that was posted on her Twitter further. If one saved it before she took it down, and examined it, all the proof is there. She is lying and she was not hacked, you can believe whatever you want though.

Keep in mind, this image was taken only *eight minutes* before it was published to her Twitter feed, and that makes it very, very, HIGHLY unlikely for someone to have hacked her in only *eight minutes*.

Hayley is a liar and a *****.; Reply to this comment

by ejavam07 May 30, 2010 12:25 AM EDT: Isn't that her left arm holding the camera? Wasn't that her face and boobs that were being recorded? So how is it that she's claiming that she was hacked when she had total control of the entire event? Is twitter really so easy to hack, or does she just think that we're all that gullible?

Yes, I looked at her (topless) photo; don't waste your time -- they're not big enough to feed any kid yet, let alone handle an adult relationship.; Reply to this comment


by josephp5 May 29, 2010 7:51 PM EDT: Give me a break. It's a publicity stunt.

It's just like Kendra Wilkinson and her fight against that "unauthorized" porn tape. Kendra has already received $680,000 up front and will be receiving half of the profits. Meanwhile, she tearfully relates the story about how she is fighting its release---as if an established company Vivid Entertainment would actually open itself up to all the legal ramifications by releasing a porn tape without the performers signing off on it. Once a *****, always a *****.; Reply to this comment


by DawnBroderick40 May 29, 2010 2:52 PM EDT: I think the tramp meant to send it to someone else, got caught and is claiming she was hacked. What do these brainless twits use as passwords to their accounts, the word password?; Reply to this comment
