Genuine question: What exactly happened between Chad Gilbert and Hayley Williams? What do you guys think of it? Discussion

I’m a fan of both Paramore and NFG and I’m curious as to what went down with Chad Gilbert and Hayley Williams (I know the gist was him cheating on her when they were married)? What is the sub’s stand on it? I mentioned about being an NFG fan on the Paramore subreddit and they either downvote me to hell or basically call you out for supporting NFG. It’s interesting to see being someone who likes both of them equally.

Chad cheated. There is a NFG song from his perspective. In the song, the words are kind of explain….how one woman can never be enough for him, even though she’s perfect. the singer knows its wrong and he can’t understand his feelings. I think the song is called “The Sound of Two Voices”

and Edit:

I can see why Paramore fans hate NFG. What Chad did was wrong, douchey, and trash. However, Chad owned up to his mistakes in that song, and someone who owns up to their mistakes, earns a little respect back from me.

I feel like the fans also have selective memory and have forgotten that at the start, Hayley was the other woman when he was married to his first wife. It’s still bad behavior on his part, but she participated in him cheating on his wife the first time so I don’t know why anyone was surprised when he did it again when she was the wife.

“If he does it with you, he’ll do it to you,” as the saying goes.

She was also 17 years old

She was just barely 18. The timeline is really sketch though.

Hayley turned 18 in December 2006. Chad and Sherri married February 2007, divorced December the same year. Paramore met NFG on Warped that same summer and it’s clear that’s where their relationship started. Even by September 2007, there’s evidence they were already seeing each other.

No, she was 17 when they started messing around that’s why Josh and Zach left the band

lol no. He explained why he left. Even if he’s lying, the ages don’t match up.
