LOUIS Tomlinson has revealed the huge U.S. star he will “forever despise” after the death of bandmate Liam Payne.
The ex-One Direction star took aim at YouTuber Logan Paul who had interviewed his late co-star before his death last year.
Liam appeared in Logan’s Impaulsive series in June 2022 where he made explosive revelations about the group.
The ordeal clearly left Louis fuming, as he told the Independent: “I f***ing forever despise [Logan Paul], horrible, horrible little f***er.
“I think that’s also the problem with some of this new ‘media’.
“I would like to think most journalists… some journalists have a duty of care.”
In the YouTube interview, Liam revealed one of his bandmates had thrown up “up a wall” during an argument.
He also revealed the “many reasons” why he “disliked Zayn [Malik]”.
Liam told Logan that X Factor judge Simon Cowell had formed One Direction around him, with some calling him “arrogant”.
But Louis has doubled down on what the late star said, admitting, “It was, definitely.
“It was definitely a role that was assigned to him. That is the truth.”
After the old interview aired on Logan’s channel, Liam admitted it was “hard for me to watch back”.
He ultimately spent 100 days in rehab after appearing in the YouTuber’s video.
Liam died in October 2024 after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Argentina.
He spoke about the podcast in 2023, revealing his words were “self-protection”.
“The rest of the boys really stuck by me when I needed them most, they kinda came to the rescue,” the late star admitted.
“Even Zayn, as well. Which is why I did send him a little thank you online. It came across really big-headed didn’t it?
“I think, for me, a lot of what I said just came from the wrong place.
“I was so angry at what was going on around me. Instead of taking a look inwards, I decided to look outwards at everybody else.
“I just took it out on everybody else, which is just wrong, really, and my own frustrations with my own career and where I landed.
“I took shots at everybody else and that was wrong so I just wanna apologise for that in the first instance.”
