One Direction #7 Spaces between them

[GrilledCheese]

I don't think harry wants a reunion. And he doesn't want the backlash that comes with admitting that publicly

And Zayn conveniently remembers the band fondly whenever he's got something to promote haha

As for Liam, maybe it's time for a career change

 

[Bettyboo2475]

Maybe Harry wants to keep his more intimate, raw feelings for himself, and not share them with the world.
In time he might say more, or write songs, but he doesn't owe any of us his feelings about Liam right now, or ever.

I think they are all damaged in some way by their shared past and maybe Harry just doesn't deal with it as well as the others. He might be media trained but this is very raw for the strongest of person

Kate definitely looks older than her age. It’s the makeup. I’m not also entirely convinced she’s a good influence on Liam, but then again, Liam isn’t exactly a good influence to himself.

I’m not saying Simon Cowell is innocent in any way but let’s not forget their parents let them audition (age dependant) and I would hope parents would check over any contract before it is signed or get a lawyer to do so

I'm not sure it's something that could be dealt with as a contractual issue.

It's more like child abuse, with the adults pushing the child in the direction of the adult agenda, and the child then just employing whatever coping strategies they could to deal with what situations they found themselves in.

I always found it chilling on x factor or whatever show when one of the older people (who held all the power) used to say to the young hopeful 'you're a star! What I've seen today means you're definitely a STAR, and you could WIN!' and you'd see the little one's eyes light up...and there they were, ripe for slaughter.

Surely everyone realises now from the examples that youthful fame coming out of nowhere is not a good idea for anyone?

Let's face it, whatever you think of Simon Cowell, there's no way his son will be encouraged to go into the music business as a performer.

He has been downward spiralling for a while. I remember hearing his podcast episode on the diary of a CEO and thinking that it sounded like he was doing better after some dark times but then again, that was the time he was with Maya and we now know what was happening. And then he was clearly drinking again…It’s shocking that his current gf would leave him alone in Argentina in that situation… but maybe they had argument and she had enough or something. As someone said, it’s hard to help someone who doesn’t want to be helped. It seems like he was having a really though time by the 911 call. Truly heartbreaking

 

[JSquared]

Hotel workers are saying he had an argument in the lobby because they wouldn't let him into the pool. He went upto his room and destroyed it before attempting to jump into the pool from his room on the third floor

He must have been off his head then, to put it bluntly. Daily fail show pictures of the hotel/pool. No way, if the above is true, he would have believed he could have made that jump if he was sober. Harrowing to think about tbh

but your going to be stunted and acting like a teenager if you don’t get to do the things a teenager got to experience at that age. Louis has been through alot of grief and came from a working class area where anti social behaviour was the norm. you don’t just simply grow out of ways, you get nurtured on how to act, which anne has done a great job of with harry but unfortunately louis lost that very early into his solo career.
ETA: i see everyday in my job how loss of parents can impact people and it transpires in ‘naughty’ behaviour. it just feels everyone piles on louis cos he’s not a shiny perfect human, but the press tend to only report badly on him

I mean obviously in the grand scheme of things sure he could be doing much worse things. That doesn't mean people should not be allowed to comment on it. Especially on a forum dedicated specifically to members of 1d.

I don't get your point about "normal teen" things because louis was well into his teens once 1d started and I don't see how it stopped him from doing alot of normal teen things.

Louis isn't from the ghetto or something either. His family was going skiing and to France over the summer. They were probably living above their means, sure but I don't see how this was trauma inducing like you seem to imply? I see his fans talk like this too and I don't get it.

Louis gets an insane amount of pity over his moms death. Its comes across as deeply condescending sometimes because I've seen his fans introduce him that way or people on reddit admitting that thats the only reason they ever listen to his music. I'm sure that would be super weird to see. I mean losing a parent is horrendous and all but its not a exactly a unique life experience. Most people will eventually experience that in their life.

He has money for therapy. Any therapy he could want. He has to make the changes in his life.

this is really cute, his voice sounds really good and the way she spoke about him helping her with Christine was so sweet.

 

[Bagpuss20]

I think Liam struggles the most with how famous he was in the band compared to how famous and successful he expected himself to become as a solo artist. There's only so many failed attempts he can take. That with his history of substance abuse is worrying

Didnt Liam do an interview where he said 1D was built around him and he was to be the lead?

 

[Sugarcube23]

"it seems Liam‘s Snapchat page is likely run by a social media team as his page was updating with a series of new posts just minutes before the news of his death was reported. Fans initially thought the news was a hoax as Liam had seemingly been sharing new updates on social media just minutes ago.
The final posts went live at around 5:50pm Argentina time, but Liam‘s death is being reported as happening at around 5:00pm.

Zayns post

 

[redstraw16]

He really should just slink off quietly and enjoy his earnings from One Direction. Every time he opens his mouth he says something more stupid than the time before. Quite an unlikable manchild. He is what, thirty years old now? It’s time to grow up. Sexist prat.

Literally! I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen a clip of him talking where he’s come across as remotely likeable, ever.

 

[glitteringblitz]

Harry has always been physically close to his friends. the Larry stuff is absolutely insane because it was clearly just teen boys being silly and you can literally view their actions anyway you want to. I personally think Louis is a bully and a lot of the things he said that are "Larry proof" are actually him being an asshole. The fact that Harry significantly distanced himself in like 2013 and has not spoken of Louis since the end of 1D minus saying his name in context of the whole group, twice, it pretty telling.

 

[GrilledCheese]

I never thought he had anger issues or was abusive,

‘If you don't remove those hands there's a high likelihood you'll never use them again.'

Sorry I couldn't help it

 

[Basic]

He needs to step away quietly and work on his ego. I felt sorry for him too, but he doesn’t help himself.

I recall reading Liam saying something about wanting to go to one of Harry’s shows early on but H didn’t want him there. I felt sorry for Liam, but I’m not surprised now if the others try to distance themselves. Harry and Louis, at least, come across as genuinely likeable (football chav persona aside). Niall seems ok but I think he thinks he’s better than he is. The other two just seem like dicks.

 

[Lorelai heart]

17 isn't underage here. What age was Liam when she was 17?

Don’t care which way you try to spin it, it’s very creepy and disgusting for a man in his mid 20s to start dating a teenager who isn’t yet legally an adult.

 

[Maddow]

He genuinely could pass as a 50 year old man in the first picture. Its weird that his fans romanticise this type of thing with the laughing emoji.

 

[Diddikins]

Do we genuinely believe a drug fuelled popstar can stay rich? I dont believe he had much money if any...he didnt write songs etc

Isn’t he credited as writing quite a few 1D songs?

 

[glitteringblitz]

You know you’ve done something wrong when James corden is offended by how you treat your staff.

The interview Louis did with him admitting to how he will break into his employees hotel rooms and scream in their faces or throw water on them paints quite the picture.

 

[Jasminexx02]

A 17 year old is a literal child. No grown adult should want to be with a child, borderline nonce to be honest, there’s no excuse for that
