Last week, Paramore leader Hayley Williams shared a message for World Mental Health Day, talking about her own health struggles and saluting the groups working to make resources more accessible. Good Dye Young, Williams' hair-dye company, posted that statement on Instagram. In the comments on the post, a few people people made allegations about Fruits Hair Lab, the Nashville salon that Williams co-founded, claiming that she'd ignored issues at the salon and that her statement is "performative." Williams responded with her own Instagram comment, writing, "from now on, i will no longer hold my team back from stopping assholes who are trying to take advantage of and attack my character."
