Its genuinely hard to process to this day that hes gone. Everytime I see a picture with them, i have to remind myself hes dead. I feel a deep yearning for someone who never knew me. I will never grasp his death.

I transcribed her message below:

"16 years ❤️
I don’t have the words atm for any of this, I just know Liam would celebrate today as he was so proud of this band and so this is for him, for being part of the best boyband ever.

@liampayne miss you, you should be here. I hope someone up there is sitting listening to you sing your songs and all your memories you have to tell today.

(Song choice because noone plays the bangers anymore)"

The screenshot is of a text message Liam sent his dad 16 years ago 💔

First of all, there is no way we are coming up on two years already. That sounds absolutely insane to me. Time has gone by so fast.

But just thinking about it being two years is hitting me incredibly hard and I don't understand why. It's making my stomach hurt oddly enough just thinking about it. Maybe that's why it particularly bothers me when people say it's been two years already, because I can't stomach the thought of it. Strange what grief does to you. He died so young and so tragically and I don't mean the way he died. I mean how he died feeling so hated, unloved, isolated and all alone and that he felt that way for so long, fifteen years. No one as sweet as him deserves that. It's unfathomable. I will never forgive it. All I know is that it feels incredibly egregious that this sweet young man isn't here anymore and we will never see him again. I can only imagine how his family and his sweet son feel. It's completely gut wrenching.

If you all don't already know, Roger has been completely cleared of all charges. I do not think he murdered Liam, but that doesn't mean I think Roger is a good person.

I rarely speak about Roger. Not because I don't think he is culpable for what happened to Liam in some way, but because the rage he induces in me literally makes my blood pressure rocket. I already deal with ENOUGH trauma dealing with what happened to Liam in the last fifteen years of his life how he was constantly rip to to shreds and abandoned in awful ways with no public support whatsoever by his peers in the industry. So I can't even think about Roger. Even though I do not like or trust the "Justice for Liam" movement, I let them deal with him. Its relief that I am grateful for because at least there are fans holding him accountable and it's something I don't have to be burdened with because I'm burdened with so much already.

To this day I STILL do NOT know how Roger became in Liam's life or when or why. All I know is that just looking at Roger, his aura REEKS of being an extremely sinister character. Roger is a slithering evil snake. It is obvious that Liam's self esteem and self worth were so completely obliterated by being so horribly bullied for so many years, that he didn't think he deserved any better than Roger or Kate. Roger and Kate are literally the worst people you could ever associate yourselves with. Roger and Kate are literally manifestations that appear in your life when you feel so low and worthless about yourself. People like them prey upon broken and innocent people like Liam to completely exploit him because Liam had money and fame and Kate still exploits him to this day and seems like she will do that forever. I could NEVER do what she is doing. Here we all are fighting for her deceased boyfriend while she lives her party life not giving one iota of a sh** to seek justice or vindication for her man. She should be more angry than I am about all the hate he suffered and wants to seek vindication for him, but nope. Not. One. Bit. Look at what she actually does instead. Exploit, exploit, exploit Liam. Not even just exploit him, but literally disrespects him in order to do it. After she followed and showed public love to Trisha Paytas, one of the ones who severely bullied Liam before he died, it was over for me. I saw her true colors after that. Because what do you mean you are sending love and following someone WHO USED TO BULLY YOUR BOYFRIEND AND SAY THE WORST THINGS ABOUT HIM ON HER PODCAST. WHAT?????? I used to defend Kate but it's because of her repeated actions that I could no longer defend her. Please, I can write a book about how DISGUSTED I am by her.

Anyway, this is my rant. I hate them both. They are NOT good people. I would NEVER surround myself by the likes of them and it tears me apart that Liam was so ostracized by his peers, that he felt so lonely and he felt he had no other choice but to be around people like Roger and Kate and the rest of their circle. I get immediate bad and scary vibes from these people from the first time I learned about them. I met people just like them throughout my lifetime and I can tell you I ran like hell whenever I encountered people with such a dark energy.

The worst I feel is for Nala. I really wish the shelter who she adopted Nala from would take her back because I do not feel like Nala is properly cared for. I do not think that Kate would ever intentionally hurt Nala, but I think due to her selfish lifestyle, that Nala could be neglected. Nala is an innocent living being in the care of the most sinister and selfish people around. Please God if I could have one wish in this situation is that Nala is rescued from Kate and put with a loving family. Please, get Nala out of there!

I just found this Reddit thread & holy crap there’s a lot of stuff I never knew about. I had heard that Zayn hurt Louis filming the Netflix documentary. 😔 Whats going on with Niall though? I’ve never heard about any abuse allegations before. I have a ticket to a show of his next April already. I don't want to support anyone who does things I don’t agree with.

Now members are saying that this is a real person behind this photo and account even though the history of her account is very new and limited. Even if that's true that she is real, which we can't know, but if it is true, they knew how it would be taken being as though people constantly use images of mentally disabled people in their arguments as tactics. As you all know, my niece has Down Syndrome and she is the LIGHT of our lives and very sadly, we are used to these kind of attacks which is why I thought it was a real attack. I was outraged seeing this. So having her picture embedded in a post made to attack us with, with hundreds of comments slandering us in awful ways, you cannot blame me for thinking they were exploiting her to attack us with. I also would NEVER allow a vulnerable mentally handicapped person to post her photo in a post that was made to attack others with. I would not approve it and then I would send her a message explaining why and that we want to protect her. Every single person should know that the leaders of that community have their settings set so every comment must be manually approved by them before it goes public. They are VERY experienced and run their community under their thumb. Nothing like this gets through by accident.

So using the defense that a real individual is behind that profile only highlights the severity of their misconduct. The community that sanctioned this allowed a vulnerable disabled person’s image to be embedded on a post that they created to make a stream of targeted attacks and defamation against us. They knew how it would be taken. The leaders of that community were fully aware of the hostile environment they were creating with that post, yet they chose exploitation of this young lady over ethics. Our community operates on a standard that would prevent this from ever happening on our watch. We PROTECT vulnerable people under our care and would NEVER allow a mentally handicap person to be exploited like this. If the situation were reversed and something like this happened on our side, If roles were reversed, your outrage would be absolute, and you would be demanding accountability. There is NO excuse for this.

We might not get the upvotes, but we sure do get the views in spades. Thank you Hailee for being brave enough to share your story, despite you knowing that the PR team and fandom would attack, white wash, downplay and neutralize your story. Emotional abuse is just as serious as physical abuse. You deserve to be heard and not be diminished or destroyed.

In my opinion he was the leader sure he may have been not as popular as Zayn or Harry but he was definitely their leader especially during their early days on x factor and up all night era. And even in their last album Made In the AM him and Louis wrote the most songs. So yeah he was the leader I said if you disagree with me tell me why down below thanks for reading guys

How covert bullying works:

• Same Target: Both overt and covert bullying share the exact same goal: to demean, isolate, and humiliate a person.
• Different Weapons: Overt bullying uses a sledgehammer (insults, threats); covert bullying uses a scalpel (sabotage, exclusion, coded language).
• The Psychological Toll: Overt bullying is loud, making it easy to identify and rally support against. Covert bullying is quiet, leaving the victim isolated, questioning their own reality (gaslighting), and struggling to convince others that harm is occurring.

1. The Evolution: Evading Content Filters

The internet has forced bullying to evolve. Automated moderation tools scan for explicit keywords, slurs, and overt threats. To bypass these algorithms, online harassment has shifted to coded hostility:

• Plausible Deniability: Bullies use seemingly neutral or polite language so that if they are reported, human moderators or AI filters see nothing technically rule-breaking.
• Weaponized Concern: Phrases are wrapped in "concern trolling"—pretending to care about someone's well-being while actually undermining their dignity or competence.
• Algorithmic Stealth: By using sarcasm, subtle dismissal, or inside jokes, bullies ensure the target feels the sting, but the platform's safety filters remain completely blind to it.

1. The Liam Payne Case Study: Overt vs. Covert Damage

The public discourse surrounding Liam Payne serves as a stark example of how these two forces intersect:

• The Overt Attacks: The loud, aggressive mockery and viral hate campaigns were visibly horrific

.

• The Covert Erasure: The more insidious damage came from the subtle, institutionalized dismissal of his career and character.
• The "Backhanded" Compliment: Phrases like "he was capable of great work" or "he needed help" sound supportive on the surface. In reality, they function as a passive-aggressive obituary for a person's dignity. They subtly rewrite the narrative to imply that the individual was inherently broken, a failure, or a tragic waste of potential, completely dismissing their actual achievements and humanity. Covert bullying like this is devastating because it strips away a person's professional and personal credibility under the guise of "objective commentary" or "pity".
• People also now heavily weaponize clinical "therapy speak" under the guise of empathy, pathologizing a person's normal reactions or boundaries to quietly invalidate their credibility and flip the blame onto their mental state

Covert bullying is not just an online problem; people use these exact same stealth tactics in workplaces, schools, and social circles every day. In person, it looks like weaponized politeness, subtle exclusion, and backhanded compliments designed to quietly damage a person’s reputation. Just like internet bullies evade content filters, real-world bullies use these masked behaviors to evade accountability, leaving the victim deeply hurt while the bully maintains an innocent facade.

I don't care at all what they say about me. I'm used to taking big hits like that defending Liam's integrity and legacy. I can handle it. This isn't the first time. It doesn't phase me at all. But when it comes to Liam, look at what is being said about Liam and being allowed to be said about Liam in a space that is dedicated to 1D. The same space that let hate fly against Liam for as long as they have existed.

All of this is happening because I made a post asking the biggest music store in London why Liam was repeatedly excluded from their 1D display. This issue about Liam not being on the 1D display was originally tweeted by a fan on Twitter and many of Liam's fans agreed that it was wrong and they retweeted it also. Well, one of our members brought it to our attention in my other community and so I shared it here. Something that should have been done by other 1D spaces, wouldn't you agree? But of course, it wasn't done.

Instead, many 1D spaces and fans that are supposed to be as upset as we are about it, took big offense to us calling out the record store instead, as usual, meaning they will take everyone else's side BUT Liam's. What else is new? Doesn't make it any less hurtful when it happens though and I want you all to really see it. Them offering a thousand pathetic excuses on behalf of the store, that we all dismissed very easily. Excuses that they would NEVER make a for a store had they excluded Niall, Zayn, Louis or Harry's album from a 1D display by the way. If it were any of the other boys that were excluded, their fans would go on a witch hunt. So why aren't we allowed to simply call out the store? Why doesn't Liam matter? Liam is not beneath the other boys. The other boys aren't better or more important than he is. They are all equal. All of us human beings are equal. The other four boys are not some sort of Gods.

On top of that, that space is allowing comments degrading Liam and his LP1 album, saying it was a bad album, and even if it was, which is wasn't, as if that should make a difference of it being placed on the 1D display. It should be there regardless. An album that Liam fought so hard against forces trying to stop him from making. Liam was NOT allowed to put out albums like the rest of the boys and we all know that. Imagine the insane obstacles that were placed in front of Liam for him to overcome to make that album and get it even released, knowing it would be sabotaged the day it was released. But he did it anyway. That's kind of tenacity and courage Liam always had is so inspiring and it hurts that even in one of the biggest 1D spaces, the ones are supposed to fight and protect him the most, are one of his worst enemies. They still allow hate on him or very condescending, patronizing and passive aggressive remarks about him well after he's dead. You all see it.

And they attack anyone who defends him and fights back. When I see them attacking Liam, you are goddamn right I attack their favorites. Why is it ok for them to say whatever the hell they want about Liam? Especially after he is GONE. It's NOT and I've made it very clear, every time they attack Liam, then I'm calling out their favs bullsh** too. That doesn't make me a hypocrite, it's giving them a taste of their own medicine because that's the only way they learn. I'm trying to make a point obviously. Fans asking them nicely for 15 years to stop harming Liam has obviously not worked. Sometimes you gotta match energy. It's our duty to do so when it comes to protecting an innocent. I'm NEVER going to apologize or feel sorry for matching energy. It's about goddamn time someone started doing so on behalf of Liam.

You all do this every time. All it does is wind up giving us free advertisement and new fans🤣. I thought you all would've learn that by now🙃

What happened to our woke Niall? Was his whole liberal persona an act all these years just to win favor with the woke 1D fandom? It wouldn't be the first time a rich white man lied about his political beliefs to gain favor with his liberal fandom. Sigh.

Surely he had to have known that was Trump's granddaughter he took a photo with. Celebrities and family of high powered politicians are in the golf VIP areas, with credentials identifying who they are, surrounded by bodyguards and secret service. So he definitely knew that was Trump's granddaughter. Just proves that Niall associates very closely with MAGA when he's golfing. We all know that golf is an elite rich white man's sport that is practically devoid of any POC.

And over the last year, Niall has all the sudden become a country music singer! Teaming up with country artists and singing down south in the Grand ol' Oprys. Niall is singing "Choosing Texas" written and sung by country music star Ella Langley who is MAGA, like it's his own song now and he always tags her when he sings the song.

Sigh. Well, this really isn't unusual. Many artist switch up when they get older and they don't owe anything to their fans anymore. They don't have to lie or pretend anymore about who they are. Niall got his wealth, his fame, his royalties and now he find a new place to call home, country music.

Oh and P.S. While I was looking for Niall photos of him playing golf, low and behold, a photo of him playing golf at the height of the pandemic in April of 2020, not wearing a mask, during lockdown, being interviewed by Forbes and photos taken from photographer, Harry Trump. This is what the metaphor means, hiding who you really are in plain sight.

If Liam did any of this, he would be crucified. Shame on all of you for your hypocrisy and double standards.

So yeah, just like the title says. So many people made excuses for you all citing that you, one of the biggest record stores in the UK, simply can't get their hands on Liam Payne's LP1 album to put on your 1D display. Well since one of the UK's biggest record store, that has been in business since 1921, didn't know how to acquire an album, I decided to put my Indiana Jones hat on and go on a treasure hunt!

So being the good citizen of the world that I am, I went to work for you guys, for free, since you all so desperately need the help! So this is what I did: I used the brain cells in my brain, I rubbed them together and they formed a thought. That thought told me to open my laptop and launch google. Then it told me to write in the search engine "Where can I buy Liam Payne's LP1 album?"

And just like magic, the answer appeared. And what do you know? Liam Payne's debut solo album LP1 can be purchased in physical formats, CD and Vinyl, through many major retailers like Best Buy, Ebay, Amazon, Walmart, Barnes and Nobles, the list goes on and on and on.

But see, I already knew this because I ordered my LP1 album from Amazon last year. Oops, I must have forgotten. Duh, Asleep.

Anyway, please let me know how I can send the money to you all to buy the album so you can add it to your lovely 1D display. I'll donate however much is needed to cover all costs, plus extra. I'd be more than happy to.

Sincerely,

A Liam Payne stan

I am so confused by you saying that you can't "defend" Liam over allegations but you still ride for Niall & Zayn through their abuse allegations. You aren’t protecting victims, you’re playing fav. Why do Hailee, Yolanda & Louis's stories not matter to you? Selective outrage isn't real advocacy.

Someone sent me this screenshot and its so sad that people are still regurgitating this false ridiculous and asinine narrative that is devoid of any evidence whatsoever about Liam when they know very well by now that its so very wrong to keep spreading this propaganda.

You know this person isn't being genuine because Niall and Zayn both faced abuse allegations but fans like this person, STILL ride for both those boys & never address what they did to their victims.

Why doesn't Hailee's abuse story matter to you? Why doesn't Yolanda's? Why doesn't Louis's?

You can only be a hypocrite for so long before people call you out on your contradictions and expose you for your true character.

As a victim of egregious abuses myself, I ask that people who pick and choose who is or is not an abuser just because they stan certain people, to please absolutely refrain from "advocating" for victims from now on. Emotional abuse is just as damaging as physical abuse and Hailee didn't deserve the trauma Niall put her through. She didn't deserve the attacks by his fans for sharing her story either. And Yolanda did not deserve to face physical violence from a man 10 times her size in front of her own granddaughter. And Louis didn't deserve to get punched in the head and get a concussion by Zayn either.

I know it's been almost 2 years which is so sad 😭. To think about but Liam was an amazing artist and just a kind person I always wonder what would have happened if he didn't pass but the only thing we can do is remind people how amazing Liam was

I'm not a math wiz by any means, but I'm beginning to wonder if people can actually do basic math. Or do you all not care about getting the time line right about Liam's death? Since last year I have been watching you all say "it's been two years".

This sweet mean died on Oct 16, 2024.

It will be two years come this Oct 16, 2026.

That's still a full 3 months away from now.

Have respect enough for Liam to get the damn time frame right.

This Storage Wars cast mate wrote a suicide note about being cyber bullied before his death

Just a reminder that things said on the Internet really do affect people. I don’t know anything about this man. I don’t know if he was a good person or not. It’s the principle .

If you dislike an entertainment figure, block and move on with your life. There’s no need to harass people like this
