In a viral TikTok video posted by MadBlackBimbo, Hayley is seen asking fans about the source of a disturbance happening in the concert pit. After asking the crowd, they responded by letting her know there were people pushing their way through the sea of concertgoers.

"I will embarrass both of you," Hayley said once the crowd pointed out who was causing the disruption. "Both of you need to find somewhere to take care of that shit, because that's not happening here."

The two were swiftly kicked out of the arena afterward. Well, after watching the video herself from the crowd's perspective and fully assessing the situation, Hayley had a change of heart.

In a lengthy statement posted on Paramore's Discord channel, Hayley apologized for having “embarrassed the hell out of these two people, without truly knowing what the situation was.”

"My insides were triggered from numerous personal experiences not fit for a blog post or a microphone on stage at an arena," Hayley wrote.

"My outsides were trying to maintain control of a situation I felt that myself and my bandmates were responsible for. Without the opportunity for a proper back and forth (and with a looming, strict show-curfew in the back of my mind), I bared my teeth like a mother wolf."

Hayley admitted to abusing her "responsibility and my platform in that moment…that I hurt those two in a way that will outlast the momentary discomfort of their poor concert etiquette.”

“So, if you are those two people…I am sorry for whatever shame or embarrassment I may have caused you…I’m not telling you that it’s perfectly fine to act entitled or ignorant at a show.”

She went on to apologize for how she handled the whole situation, comparing it to how cancel culture functions in our society today.
