Hayden allegedly giving unreleased music to kids on Discord?

I need to preface this by saying that I'm trying to view this objectively, despite being a big fan, but I feel like we need to discuss the alleged distribution of some of Hayden's unreleased music and how she potentially ties back to it.

According to multiple sources online, she joined a private discord server that included a group of minor aged fans and gave them links to previously unreleased music.

She has to know the optics of this are horrible, right?

The board posting and the tweet seem to corroborate a date of November last year as to when the exchange took place.

The tiktok comment screenshot predates her disclosure of the leak and is yet another person claiming to have obtained music from her.

She did make a point to call out "kids" explicitly in her Tumblr post about the situation.

Does this excuse further leaking and password cracking? Absolutely not.

The question remains, however, why the hell is she allegedly entertaining young fans on discord as an adult with a wide audience and a responsibility to not lean into parasocial interactions?
