Clearing up a few rumours about Liam Payne: A Thread 👀
1. Liam Payne is NOT homophobic!
A lot of people like to say he‘s homophobic & take the headline of an interview from 2015 as a proof.
If you would read the article you‘d see that the fact that they‘re probably there because of Larry drives him crazy.
2. Liam didn’t said he‘s „uncomfortable“ with Harrys outfits. He never meant to discriminate or disrespect Harry and his style in any way. Here’s a video of that interview where he talked about it, clearly as a joke. https://twitter.com/defencelesslilo/status/1184516616672940033?s=21
3. Liam didn’t meant to fetishise bi people in any way in his song Both Ways. His co writer confirmed it and here’s what the song’s about.
I know this is a sensitive topic and I‘m not saying that you shouldn’t feel uncomfortable or discriminated by the song! 1/2
it‘s completely understandable if you feel uncomfortable while listening to it! It‘s also right to educate Liam and his co writer about their mistakes.
I‘m bringing this up to show y‘all that Liam never MEANT to do it, it wasn‘t his intention! Because a lot of people -
Walk around and act like Liam intentionally fetishised bi people, which isn‘t true at all. Yes he should’ve thought about releasing this song & again it‘s right to educate him about it! But the hate he‘s getting for it bc people twisting words or telling lies is insane.
4. Liam doesn’t hate Harry. It‘s a brave statement, since I don‘t know what‘s happening behind the screens but it‘s none of my business anyways. Stop acting like they‘re 5 year olds who got into a fight. Friendships can grow apart 1/2
and just because they‘re not that close anymore DOESNT mean they hate eachother. I‘m talking for Harry as well in this one. They‘re grown man who are completely fine with their current relationship and they know how to deal with it.
5. Liams Hugo Boss photo shoot wasn‘t for „attention“. He was finally comfortable with his body, after getting bullied and besides that he posted pictures of his body before this shoot. It‘s honestly disgusting that y‘all need to turn everything he does into something negative.
Additional: Also stop criticising everything Liam does but praising it when Harry or anyone else does it!
The shoot is a perfect example. Liam was trying to be himself, just as Harry. They‘re both comfortable with themselves and that‘s something great!!! For both of them!
This isn’t certainly about Harry and Liam. It happened a lot of time that Liam got hate for something other artist got hyped for.
I just took this example, bc it showed the situation really good and also fit to the hugo boss shoot :)
since this got a lot of attention here‘s why I made this thread:
A lot of people started bullying & hating on Liam with no specific reason. When asked why, they answered with „he‘s homophobic“ etc but they didn’t had any proof. 1/2
They simply saw an account tweeting it on Twitter and decided to hop on the train.
If there were „proofs“, I could always easily show them that it was bs for the most part.
Also people kept on twisting his words every time he said something, everything he would do or say -
will be turned into something negative or against him. And the worst part about this is that Liam couldn‘t said anything about it, he couldn’t do anything about this bullying bc people aren‘t able to question things and believe everything they see.
And that needs to change!!
Not only in this case, but in general! Don‘t believe anything someone says about something when they have 0 proofs.
Ask for proofs, question things, you need to learn that not everything the media says is true!
