See, I was going to put this in your ask box because frankly, lifeâs too short without people needing to see such a long post on their feeds, but given yours is closed... No; Iâm not Tomâs wife. Yes, I do have eyes. Yes, I do have a brain, as my university degree, school grades, and peers tell me.Â
Firstly, I can see that theyâre two different children. And babies looks similar because they are BABIES. They start growing into their features at a later age, because at the very early stage they all look similar. Babies are small, and have spent nine months inside their mothers before being born. They are going to look a little squished and exactly the same. BECAUSE THEY ARE BABIES.Â
Maybe the family hasnât posted pictures because they want to respect privacy of that child? As the father, Louis knows what heâs comfortable posting online about his child, but his family wonât know for sure what heâs okay with. For example, my parents always ask me before they post baby pictures of me online, because itâs part of my PRIVACY as their child. They respect the fact that I might not want an image online of me as a baby, and most likely his family respect that too.
Also, seeing as Tom and his family have been in London all this time, and Louisâ been in the US, Iâm going to say that Tom hasnât been lending his child out for photos. And yeah, flying out with a three-week old to the US, along with a two year old? Iâm sure Tom and his wife would LOVE to fly out every few weeks with two very small, very tired children - during a time when theyâre bonding as a family of four - and let their youngest be used for photos in a publicity stunt. Note: that was sarcasm, by the way - easy to get lost online.
But sure, letâs take your way with minimal logic. If Tom DID give his child over to be used in a stunt, then Iâd lose all respect for him and his family for doing so. Because itâs WRONG to use a child like that, no matter the circumstances. But wouldnât you feel the same about Louis, if heâd been using innocent children for a stunt? Wouldnât YOU lose all respect for him as a fan?Â
Because itâs not just about being forced into doing something by management or whatever. Louis is an adult - he can simply not do it and walk away. Take the recent Ke$ha case with her allegations of rape against Dr. Luke. Sheâs in a contract to produce albums with the company, but sheâd rather break her contract rules because she cannot bear to be around him.Â
Look at Take That coming back together - originally, Jason had a rocky relationship with their manager Nigel, who did stuff to him that apparently made Gary Barlow feel ill (source: My Take by Gary Barlow). And when the reunion talk began and they were going to get back with Nigel, Jason refused to go back if Nigel were involved, He said that heâd rather not have the band back than work with his former manager because the first time had been so horrific - as a result, theyâre no longer with their old manager and Jason was happier in the band than the first time.
And surely, Louis would feel the same? If he was truly against the idea of using a baby for publicity stunts, being forced into the closet and blackmailed against his will, heâd do whatever was in his power to get himself out of that situation. Iâm sure that breaching a contract and being sued for a couple of million is worth it if you know that you need to be away from a toxic situation. Except heâs âgoing along with itâ - and if you had faith in your idol not to be the sort of person to use children for publicity, then youâd hope to God he was just dicking about as a father.
Because the alternative is a hell of a lot worse. Isnât it?
