Hayley Williams Hopes Christian Music Industry ‘Crumbles’ Amid Michael Tait Scandal: ‘F— All of You Who Knew and Didn’t Say Anything’
Paramore singer Hayley Williams has reacted angrily to news of accusations against Christian music star Michael Tait, saying, 'I hope the CCM industry crumbles.'
Paramore singer Hayley Williams has reacted angrily to reports that Christian music star Michael Tait has been accused of sexual assaults in his past relationships with young men, writing in an Instagram post: “I hope the CCM industry crumbles. The alleged victims were 13 to 29 at the time of their encounters with Tait, and the newspaper described them as evangelical youth who “were starstruck when meeting their childhood hero, but quickly saw their image of him as a role model of Christian piety dissolve as they were taken on a bumpy ride of rock ’n’ roll debauchery.” Although his fellow band members claimed they were in the dark at the time about exactly what was troubling their departing lead singer, his resignation was reported to have come a day after he was identified as gay by the TikTok influencer Williams refers to, Azariah Southworth, who is known for outing people in the closet about their sexuality.
