I was hoping for a video confirming it, it's basically the only way we'd know if it was them or not.
With that said, I definitely think this is going to split the fan base. But who are we to judge? We'll never know exactly how it went down. There are more sides to this than we'll know, and they all have a different perspective of it. Like Kayla said - they just explained why they left, I don't think they were trying to attack anyone personally. I also agree with her about how it probably would be ten times longer if you asked them about the good times.
I've met them three times now(Hayley two times) and every time they've been total sweethearts. They've smiled, talked to me, hugged me and signed things. They seemed happy to be meeting the fans, and grateful for where they were. That's my personal impression of them. So I am not going to choose a side, because it won't do any good. I can see where both sides are coming from, there's no wrong or right answer to how to express how this happened. They can only say how they saw it, and it will please some, and hurt some. That's just how it is. And I won't start hating on any of them. Their music shaped me, and has been a huge part of my life for the last three years, no matter how cheesy that sounds, it's the truth. This won't change that. They still made that music, and put their hearts into it.
