"What lions/bear thing are you talking about with Harry and Louis?"
When One Direction (minus Harry, who had to stay back to continue his charade with Taylor Swift) arrived at Heathrow in London December 8, Louis was carrying a giant-ass stuffed lion.
First, people made beard jokes. Then, people started talking about how Louis had said (at the BringMeto1D event on December 4) that he loved the giant stuffed animals (he specifically mentioned a teddy bear, if I recall correctly) at FAO Schwarz. Then, people remembered that Harry had been at FAO Schwarz with Taylor on December 2 and wondered if that might have spurred the conversation about the giant stuffed animals in the first place.
Then, people basically concluded that Harry had something to do with Louis having the giant-ass lion when he got off the plane in London.
Also, a similar lion was found on the FAO Schwarz website for $749.00.
Talk of Harry buying the lion for Louis spread quickly, and Jay (or someone with an influence on Jay) caught wind of it. She quickly tweeted this unnecessarily-detailed response to this tweet:
Everyone was immediately suspicious because it seemed HIGHLY unlikely that Louis 1) had an entire day to spend in an arcade trying to win a stuffed animal and 2) would have won a stuffed animal of such high quality at an arcade.
Basically, we Larry shippers concluded that Jay was — once again — lying and carrying on about Eleanor simply to quash the rumors involving Harry. As usual.
Around Christmas, Louis’ family tweeted a few pictures of the inside of Louis’ house. On Boxing Day, Jay tweeted this:
Note the lion in the background.
On December 31, Louis threw a New Years Eve party at his house. One of his friends took a bunch of pictures and posted them on Facebook. These are two of those pictures:
The lion clearly lives at Louis’ house, and on top of that, the teddy bear (which — again — he had specifically mentioned at the BringMeto1D event) has the FAO Schwarz label on the bottom of its paw. Chances are they came from the same place.
What’s more, I received this ask from a lovely anon while I was typing up this post:
When Louis had the lion, Liam was carrying an elephant exclusive to FAO. And the pap mentioned that the Teasdale/Atkins fam went to FAO on “zoo day.” Harry probably went too. That lion was not a damn arcade prize; those safari animals cost hundreds of dollars. Haz bought it for his boo.
Who knows if Harry bought Louis the lion or the bear? It’s likely he did, and it’s also likely he didn’t (as he didn’t have time to breathe that week, thanks to the Haylor storm). Regardless, Louis DID NOT WIN that lion at an arcade, and I personally believe as well that he did not give it to Eleanor.
What I do believe is that — unprovoked — Jay hustled to quash another (harmless!) rumor about Larry, and she did so with a blatant lie.
