Zayn Malik’s Alleged Attack on Louis Tomlinson Led to Losing His Management
Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson were filming a travel series for Netflix when a fight allegedly broke out between them. The series is no longer going to air. Now, Malik is reportedly dealing with another consequence. Sources claim that his management dropped him after he punched Tomlinson.
Zayn Malik reportedly punched Louis Tomlinson while filming a show
While filming a three-episode Netflix road trip series, Malik reportedly made a derogatory comment about Tomlinson’s mother, who died in 2016. Their fight reportedly got physical, with Malike allegedly punching Tomlinson. He reportedly suffered a concussion. Tomlinson’s sisters also unfollowed Malik on Instagram after the alleged incident.
“The moment Zayn hit Louis and made a derogatory comment about his mum Johannah was all filmed,” a source said, per Cosmopolitan. “The series was supposed to capture a raw insight into Zayn and Louis’ relationship but this crossed a line.”
This led to a decision to scrap the series.
“The decision to scrap the show has understandably left everyone involved disappointed,” a source said. “They worked really hard for over a year in production and it feels like a complete waste of everyone’s time.”
Zayn Malik parted ways with his management after allegedly punching Louis Tomlinson
Malik and his manager have reportedly parted ways. Some sources allege that this is because of the fight with Tomlinson.
“Things reached a point where his management felt they couldn’t do anything else, and they recently resigned,” a source told The Sun. “Now he is looking for the third manager of his solo career. It’s not a good look.”
Despite this, a source told The Mirror that they came to a mutual decision to part ways.
They have feuded in the past
The travel show seemed to indicate that Malik and Tomlinson reconciled after a former feud. Shortly after Malik left One Direction, record producer Naughty Boy posted a picture of the former boybander with the caption “Replace this.”
Tomlinson then posted, “Remember when you were 12 and you used to think those Mac filters for your pictures were cool haha ! Some people still do HA!”
Malik responded directly to Tomlinson: “Remember when you had a life and stopped making b****y comments about mine?”
Tomlinson also accused Naughty Boy of “riding on the back of someone else’s career.” While they eventually got on better terms, it appears that things have deteriorated between them.
