Paramore’s Hayley Williams has spoken for the first time about a naked photo of her that appeared online earlier this year.

The image, which showed her topless, was obtained when somebody hacked into her mobile phone and posted it on Twitter.

The singer chose to remain silent over the image, but has now revealed that she is “not sorry for who I am”.

"That wasn't for anyone to see," she told The Guardian. "That was my business."

Williams, 21, also claimed that the image’s circulation has convinced her to remain true to herself.

"I'm not particularly hard-ass, but I'm not clean-cut, either,” she said. “I definitely have a dark sense of humour and a dirty mind when I'm with my friends.

But I'm from the South, where I was taught that if you want to say 'sh*t', you go and say it in your room."
