The One Direction fandom erupted this week as a startling new report made the rounds. Sources tied to an upcoming Netflix documentary shed light on an unexpected fight between two of the band’s most recognizable members. According to the report, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson got into a physical altercation during filming for the streaming project.
Zayn Malik reportedly clashed with his former One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson
Ex-One Direction bandmates Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson reportedly clashed in a tense altercation that disrupted filming on their Netflix documentary.
The Sun exclusively reported that the clash occurred while the former friends were filming a three-part road trip for the streaming platform. Sources told the British tabloid that their dramatic on-set fight started after Malik made a comment about Tomlinson’s mother, Johannah Deakin, who died from leukemia in 2016.
“The lads were filming on location. Zayn started acting up and was mouthing off,” a source said. “Louis was stunned and in shock. Zayn was wearing rings, so it cut his head. It happened outside in front of so many people,” they further revealed. “He was pulled away and Louis was taken for medical treatment. He was left with a concussion. This happened outside in front of so many people. It was shocking,” added the source.
Netflix has since scrapped the multi-million-pound project that intended to feature Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson reconnecting over shared experiences of pop stardom.
The Sun reports that the ex-bandmates have not spoken in the six months since the incident. Meanwhile, Tomlinson’s sisters, Phoebe and Lottie, have unfollowed the Pillowtalk singer across platforms, though they still follow other One Direction members Harry Styles and Niall Horan.
In an interview with Livelaughlukepod, hosted by Luke Hamnett, the twins didn’t hesitate to share the names of their favorite One Direction members. “Niall was always the loveliest. And even when we were little, he was just very nice and caring and always cute with us,” they revealed. “Liam’s not with us anymore, but he was always that for me. Yeah, so calm. He was so sweet,” they added.
