Louis Tomlinson is calling out Logan Paul for his 2022 interview with Liam Payne, stating that he\u2019ll \u201cforever despise\u201d him.<\/p>\n
The former One Direction band member spoke candidly in an interview with The Independent<\/a> published on Oct. 18 about the group\u2019s rise to fame, the emotional struggles Tomlinson and the others faced while in the group and the challenges after the split in 2016.<\/p>\n He calls out the rise of social media influencers who\u2019ve become online \u201cjournalists,\u201d specifically Logan Paul, as a point of blame for the issues members experienced after splitting up.<\/p>\n Liam Payne appeared on Paul\u2019s podcast \u201cImpaulsive\u201d back in 2022, and this notorious interview sparked controversy amongst fans and viewers. Payne was seen drinking whiskey throughout the whole episode and making remarks about Simon Cowell forming One Direction around him.<\/p>\n \u201cI fucking forever despise [Logan Paul], horrible, horrible little fucker,\u201d Tomlinson said<\/a>. \u201cI think that\u2019s also the problem with some of this new \u2018media\u2019 \u2026 I would like to think most journalists … some <\/i>journalists have a duty of care.\u201d<\/p>\n In the interview, Payne also heavily critiqued Zayn Malik. He alleged that Malik and Tomlinson weren\u2019t fond of each other in 1D but eventually did become best friends.<\/p>\n Payne addressed the interview with Logan Paul in an 8-minute YouTube video<\/a> in 2023, explaining that he didn\u2019t want anyone else to get the blame for the comments he made the year prior.<\/p>\n He continued to apologize to his former One Direction bandmates and explained that he was \u201cangry at what was going on\u201d around him and \u201cfrustrated\u201d with his career.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s hard for me to watch back,\u201d Payne said. \u201cI think in the moment you make those videos, you don\u2019t realize the impact that your words might have on other people.\u201d<\/p>\n Later on in Tomlinson\u2019s interview with The Independent<\/a>, he stated how Payne was essentially correct in the sense about the band being formed around him.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was, definitely,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was definitely a role that was assigned to him. That is the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n He explained that he and their bandmates looked up to Payne, stating that \u201che\u2019d already played at halftime [at a Wolverhampton Wanderers game]. We\u2019d done shitty school shows.\u201d<\/p>\n The late singer died on Oct. 16, 2024, after falling from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina at 31 years old.<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
