The late singer Liam Payne once opened up about an ugly face-off with a former One Direction bandmate. This said bandmate threw him up a wall during a scuffle. While Payne didn’t mention who out of the remaining four boys attacked him, fans speculated that it could’ve been Zayn Malik. Payne’s remarks about Malik at the time also contributed to these rumors.
Putting an end to the online theories, Payne’s ex-girlfriend recently spilled the tea on who the raging member was. She shared that Payne had told her that it was indeed Malik who came at him. Payne’s sudden death has brought attention to the interview where Payne aired dirty laundry about One Direction.
Things Got Ugly Between Liam Payne and His One Direction Bandmate
Liam Payne‘s tragic death came as a shock to every music lover. His former bandmates have called it a devastating loss. In the wake of his death, fans look back at the moments when Payne drew the audience’s attention, for both good and bad. One of the controversial moments in Payne’s career was his appearance on Logan Paul‘s Impaulsive podcast.
Fans suspected that Payne was probably intoxicated during this infamous interview, where he opened up about his bandmates. The Live Forever singer recalled one moment during his days with One Direction when he came head-to-head with a bandmate.
He shared that this particular person threw him up a wall after a heated exchange of words. Payne threatened the person that he too would retaliate if he laid his hands on him again. He shared on Impaulsive:
It was well-known within the band that I don’t like taking shit. There was one moment where there was an argument backstage and one member, in particular, threw me up a wall. So I said to him, ‘If you don’t remove those hands there’s a high likelihood you’ll never use them again.’
While Payne didn’t reveal who the attacker was, he went on to make controversial comments about Zayn Malik and his personal life. It almost hinted that he did not get along with Malik and that he could be the person who attacked him. He brought up Malik’s X scuffle with Logan Paul’s brother Jake Paul, and how his then-girlfriend Gigi Hadid got involved.
However, the singer also mentioned that he had “many reasons why I’ll always, always be on his side.” He later took to his X to clarify his negative comments and shared that Malik was his brother and that he would always stand by him.
