Hey not sure if you will see this but i saw your post on your other account/blog. I’m the person who runs the Exposing Larries account over on x. I only found out about it this morning after someone on x mentioned it to me, so I thought I’d reach out. I tried contacting you through your main blog but your messages are restricted to mutuals and replies are disabled on the post. So i apologize for reaching out on here, but I just wanted to let you know. Hope all is well! Much love :)
I just changed the settings on my blog so you can message me on my main! (Message not ask!)
As an Oasis fan who never listened to One Direction I think about your Louis Tomlinson Oasis cosplayer post sooo much. I can't believe that anyone thinks he is genuine. Looking forward to if you ever do a part two of that amazing post!
I really want to do this. I also feel like I should make a post about Louis’ “problematic” behavior since some of his fans seem to be waking up to the fact that he’s not the angel they always thought he was (I feel the need to clarify that I don’t really agree with the concept of “this person is problematic”, I’m just annoyed by the hypocrisy of thinking he’s “better” than others).
I have a busy weekend but I should have some time around thanksgiving.
Tried to reblog your excellent Azoffs post but tumblr just glitches and won't let me. I can reblog your other shorter posts. Is the Azoffs post too long or what?
I tried reblogging it to a sideblog and had no issues doing so
The Machinery of Stardom: How Azoffs Built an Empire on Harry Styles’ Back https://share.google/OdfTQKmj6MMilUX7f
Opinions on this?
It's antisemitic discourse that's not even disguised, and the accusations and affirmations aren't just unfounded, they're false and outright ridiculous.
----
Let's break it down: (her text in blue)
"The silent emancipation"
Here, she claims that Harry forged a connection with CAA through Jeff.
This move reveals more than Harry as an Azoff asset—it exposes a radical truth: while still in One Direction, Styles had forged a separate, parallel managerial relationship with one of the world’s most powerful agencies, CAA (Creative Artists Agency), through Azoff.
LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER
CAA was One Direction's touring agency. Their agent was Christian Carino for CAA Los Angeles,
and Mike Greek for CAA London.
Fun fact, Christian Carino was Lady Gaga's fiancé for a while.
Harry said he met Jeff in Toronto in 2012:
Back in 2014, an interviewer from MuchMusic Toronto called Lauren Toyota, who interviewed them twice, did a Q&A on YouTube and said that she went to a party at the Ritz Carlton Toronto with some industry people, including people from their team, and that Harry, Zayn, and Niall showed up. This was back in 2012. To make it very clear, this was not a One Direction hang-up party. It was an industry party and Harry, Zayn, and Niall showed up.
We don't know for sure that this is when Harry met Jeff, but everything does add up, and 1D didn't really go to Toronto that often. I think they were only there twice in 2012, this time and for an interview.
Why would Jeff be at that party? Well, Jeff is Irving Azoff's son. Irving Azoff is a powerful music mogul. I tried to find info online, but the earliest I can find on Jeff is when Britney Spears signed to CAA in 2013, Jeff was her agent. He was clearly with CAA before, but I don't know who he was representing. Whoever it was, I'd wager, was in Toronto at the time 1D was there. As an agent from CAA, he was invited to this industry party and the rest is history.
But Harry did not connect with CAA through Jeff. He connected with Jeff through CAA. It's THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
Including this because this was clearly from Jeff:
She starts wrong, and she builds on a wrong foundation. Let's keep going.
The Asset Within the Asset: Styles’ Role in One Direction
Modest Management (UK) and CAA (US) weren’t competing for Harry Styles but operated in a hierarchical partnership.
True, they were not competing because they did completely different things. Wrong, they were not in a partnership.
Modest discovered and shaped the raw product (One Direction),
Nope, Modest did not "discover" anything. That was Syco Entertainment (the production company behind The X Factor). They signed 1D to Syco Music (the record label branch of that same company). Modest was their management company. I would agree with "shape" as that's the role of a manager, but they were definitely not the ones who discovered them.
but to conquer the critical U.S. market, they needed a bigger player. CAA was the American muscle behind the operation.
LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER
CAA is not and was never a management company. CAA is a talent agency. They do work for different types of celebrities, such as musicians, but also actors, athletes, and even influencers. For musicians, their main role is handling live performances, mostly touring, but depending on the artist they can also handle their live TV performances, festivals, etc.
CAA does not manage your schedule, album rollout, PR strategy, etc. In some cases CAA can do your brand deals, but it doesn't typically happen with musicians. They have the option and some brands might reach out (particularly if it involves live performances), but their managers mostly do that.
In fact, Harry is currently signed to CAA for touring, brand partnerships, and private events (he's also signed to them as an actor, but that's a different story).
Niall is also signed to CAA. Liam was signed to CAA as well before he passed. Louis is signed to Wasserman. Zayn is with United Talent.
Harry's management company is Full Stop. CAA and Full Stop are not a partnership and do not compete. They do DIFFERENT THINGS.
In fact, 1D even had a London agent at CAA, so how does it compute that CAA was their "US muscle"? That's just drawing conclusions after not understanding what different actors roles are in different positions. It's absurd.
Let's continue.
Jeffrey Azoff wasn’t a rogue agent secretly plotting Styles’s future but an executor within the U.S. machine, tasked with managing the portfolio’s most promising asset (One Direction) and its standout star (Styles).
LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER
Sorry, I feel like I'm gonna repeat that a lot. Sorry in advance.
Jeff WAS WORKING FOR BRITNEY SPEARS. He worked for Britney between 2013 and 2015, when he resigned to CAA. He NEVER worked for 1D. 1D's US agent at CAA was Christian Carino.
Let's keep going because it is going to get so much worse. So much more nonsensical and ignorant.
The Power of Infrastructure: Owning the Arenas
The Azoff family’s influence extends beyond management to controlling key elements of the entertainment industry. Through Azoff MSG Entertainment, a joint venture with deep ties to Madison Square Garden venues like the New York arena and Los Angeles’s Kia Forum, they held significant leverage.
Did she read her own sources? Irving became chairman and CEO of MSG Entertainment in September 2013. By then, One Direction had already booked their 2014 stadium tour. The tickets were put on sale that month and they sold out immediately. The idea that Modest would partner with the Azoffs for their venues is not just absurd, but comical.
Azoff MSG Entertainment owns the following venues:
Madison Square Garden: 1D performed there once in December 2012, so almost an entire year before Irving got involved
The Forum: 1D never performed there, in fact, they performed at rival venue Staples Center, but also before Irving got involved
Radio City Music Hall
Beacon Theater: 1D performed there in May 2012. 18 months before Irving got involved with the company.
Wang Theatre
Chicago Theatre
The first two are arenas, the last four are theaters. By the time Irving got involved with the company, 1D were selling out stadiums.
With Irving Azoff leading a company closely aligned with MSG and Jeffrey as a high-ranking CAA agent, the family created a pipeline for securing prime dates and high-value deals at prestigious venues, like those used by One Direction.
Irving didn't lead that company until after 1D's world domination. Jeff wasn't a high-ranking agent either. I'm not sure where she gets that he was. The main agent for Britney was Rob Light, so Jeff was already second tier, but add to that the fact that Britney didn't do a single worldwide tour while Jeff was her agent. She did a Vegas residency. There isn't a single piece of information online about Jeff prior to that booking with Britney. And after that, all I can find is him + Harry until he created Full Stop.
The Azoffs didn’t just request tour dates—they made them available.
Nope. That... that would be CAA.
This explains why Modest, a smaller agency, had every incentive to maintain this alliance.
There was no alliance. She made it up. Modest is not even an agency! It's a management company.
Partnering with the Azoffs didn’t just mean a top agent for their artists—it guaranteed access to the infrastructure that enabled global success.
I'm just adding this part of the text so you get how fucking ridiculous what she's saying is, but how confidently she says it. The Azoffs had zero control of any venues until September 2013, and by then, One Direction would never be able to play in any of the venues they owned. They were LITERALLY selling out Wembley and Gillette Stadium. The fuck were they gonna do with the fucking Wang Theater?
Jeffrey Azoff, the Yoko Ono of One Direction
Every iconic band has its “Yoko Ono”—an external force blamed for shattering its unity. For One Direction, that force wasn’t an eccentric outsider but a calculated businessman: Jeffrey Azoff.
While Modest Management handled the collective “product”, Azoff operated on a different plane, cultivating his long-term investment: Harry Styles. It was a slow, relentless campaign to destabilize the group’s internal balance.
Once again JEFF WAS NOT WORKING FOR 1D OR HARRY. He was BRITNEY SPEARS' AGENT!!! Jeff was NOT a manager. Harry had to cajole Jeff into becoming a manager for him.
This next part is so fucking ridiculius I just...
To execute his plan, Azoff leveraged privilege to isolate his asset, both physically and psychologically, from the rest of the band:
While the band traveled together, Harry flew on private jets.
THEY ALL FLEW IN PRIVATE JETS! They couldn't all fit into one jet (1D plus their entourage) so they split into two. Harry often traveled with Niall and the other three traveled together, but there were multiple different combinations.
There's ONE story that was sensationally headlined "Harry travels separately." It was May 23rd 2014. As you can see in the photos of that article, he didn't travel separately from "all the members"... just Zayn and Liam. They were going to Ireland, so Niall was already there, literally went golfing on the 22nd to the K Club. Louis traveled there on his own later, but that was not spun as anything.
Also, Harry traveled there with Gemma as you can see it's the exact same day and he's wearing the exact same outfit. This was back when Gemma was dating Ashton Irwin from 5SOS, who were 1D's openers.
Here you have pics of Harry traveling with Liam and Niall. There were plenty of different combinations. The most common one was Harry+Niall and Zayn+Louis+Liam.
While the others stayed in assigned hotels, Harry lodged in luxury suites, often at different properties.
Huh? You think the other members of 1D didn't lodge in luxury suites? What? And as for different properties, it was different hotels. They split up into separate hotels to avoid hoards of girls waiting outside of them, particularly when they were in a big city. But definitely not always. And even then, it wasn't that Harry was in a separate hotel, it's that they booked 3 or sometimes even more hotels. The only ones who tended to stay at the same hotel were Zayn and Louis. Sometimes Harry and Niall.
When they went abroad (aside from the US and the UK mainly), they tended to stay in the same hotel all 5 (such as when they all stayed at Hotel Fasano in Brazil). I remember in particular when they stayed in Phuket, Liam, Zayn, and Louis were in one hotel and Niall and Harry in another.
While decisions were made for the group, Harry secured separate arrangements.
SUPER LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER
This is literally an email that came out from WikiLeaks, when they hacked Sony. Here you have it directly from the source.
Richard Griffiths, one of the heads of Modest Management, politely declined to have Harry promote a band by Dr. Luke (the same Dr. Luke that's in a legal battle with Kesha) because HE DIDN'T WANT TO DIVIDE THE BAND.
Dr. Luke tried to directly email Richard after having dinner with him and hearing "no." He didn't hear back from Richard, so he wrote, and this is important, THE CEO OF SONY ENTERTAINMENT. Michael Lynton. Dr. Luke was so important that he had direct contact with the person who oversaw not just Sony Music, but Sony Pictures. The ENTIRE entertainment branch of Sony. Just to make it clear, it is the same position that Rob Stringer holds now.
Did Harry ever record that video? Well, no.
But Miss Substack here wants to tell us that she knows better, better than a leaked email, straight from the source, that outright contradicts her. This was two years after Harry and Jeff met. In fact, this was happening a few weeks before this email:
That's Jeff and Glenne skiing with Kendall and Harry in January 2014.
You know, maybe, and this is a wild guess, but maybe Harry and Jeff were actually friends and then decided to go into business together. You know, like they explained themselves... multiple times...
On one hand, Azoff built Styles’ trust by enveloping him in the trappings of luxury. On the other, he sent a clear message to the band: a hierarchy exists, with Harry as the star and the others as subordinates.
Girl, Harry was A MILLIONAIRE. All FIVE OF THEM were. He did not need Jeff Azoff to be "enveloped in the trappings of luxury." Also, she's clearing painting a picture of "Harry traveled in private jets and used luxury suites" and the others... didn't? Lmao. They ALL did.
They ALL traveled private, they all stayed in presidential penthouses. This is the "Mystery Machine" Zayn and Louis got custom built in 2013. Louis owns a literal life size Spiderman statue. Liam owned a penthouse on the 34th floor at Canary Wharf. What are we doing here?
By inserting himself forcefully into the band’s affairs, Azoff effectively ran a shadow management operation, sowing envy and resentment to undermine the group’s unity. The facade of “togetherness” became increasingly untenable.
How did Jeff "insert himself forcefully into the band's affairs"? What did he do? Because so far she's been completely wrong about the very few assessments she made, and she's not shown a single shred of proof for anything.
Empty big words that mean nothing and are backed up by nothing.
The impact was immediate. Zayn Malik’s departure in March 2015, (...)
I cut it off here because it's so unintentionally funny. Was the impact immediate? So from 2012 to 2015, three full years, that's... immediate? One Direction released three albums, toured the world three times, released two documentaries, like four separate fragrances, multiple sets of dolls, etc in the span of those three years.
Zayn Malik’s departure in March 2015, viewed through this lens, was not a whim or breakdown but a lucid act by a young man recognizing a rigged game. His exit was a desperate strategic move to avoid irrelevance before the inevitable “Styles project” dominated the market, allowing Zayn to claim space first.
Harry stayed in the band until the contract ended. He sat them down in late 2014 and told them he wasn't going to re-sign. We've been over this in detail, you can read it here.
Zayn betrayed them. Didn't tell them he was leaving. Upped and left in the middle of tour, because selfishly he wanted to be the breakout star. He lost them a completion bonus of about £2 million each, and didn't even explain why he left. He put out a lousy excuse about wanting to be a normal 22-year-old when he was already writing his solo music, then tried to claim it was a mental health thing, but also that he wanted to be the breakout star... so which one is it?
While they adhered to standard protocols, Harry was “pampered” by an external power: luxury hotels, private jets, dinners with A-listers. What does a teenager feel when confronted with such disparity, realizing they’re not the chosen one? The most human emotions: envy and resentment. Inevitably, the sense of not being enough took root.
Girl, what the actual fuck are you talking about? Where are you even getting this?
THEY ALL HAD THAT. ALL FIVE OF THEM. THROUGHOUT THEIR TIME IN THE BAND.
Initially, the Styles-Azoff alliance fueled the band’s U.S. market penetration, benefiting all members while One Direction was at its peak.
I just love how this person completely ignores the fact that record labels exist. IT WAS 1D'S RECORD LABEL THAT HELPED THEM PENETRATE THE US MARKET! They signed with COLUMBIA RECORDS, one of the biggest records companies on the planet, in late 2011.
What the fuck would 25 year-old Jeff Azoff, who did NOT work for the band OR Harry AT ALL have to do with it? Is it because he's Jewish? are you saying this because he's Jewish?
I have to skip long chunks of the text because she bases her entire "theory" (which she poses as fact) on literal falsehoods, so I'm just stuck here repeating "that's not true, that's not true, that's not true."
The Slow Courtship (2013–2015)
This pattern describes the phase of cultivating the asset while he remained contractually bound to another entity (Modest Management).
Harry wasn't contractually bound to Modest. He was contractually bound to SYCO. He could've switched management companies whenever the fuck he wanted. YOU employ your manager. Not the other way around.
This entire text is just fanfiction based on a complete misunderstanding of how the music industry works, written by someone with lots of airs who thinks they know because they googled three things.
By the time One Direction’s final tour rolled around in 2015, the tempo shifts. Private jets to Palm Springs, weekends in St. Barts, backstage passes to Eagles shows—these aren’t perks.
The weekend in St. Barts happened in 2016, when the band was already over. Niall is super close friends with Don Henley, to the point where they call each other "Dad" and "son."
Louis vacationed in St Barts via private jet with Eleanor in 2014. And not for a weekend. They were there for like 10 days.
This girl seems to have parachuted into the 1D fandom with literally no knowledge of anything, and then decided that she would school everyone on what happened, how and when. With ZERO knowledge.
I'm not doing research while typing any of this. I'm going off FUCKING MEMORY. Just searching the terms I already know to search because I was a fan as this was happening. She's rewriting history. Flat out.
They’re deliberate contrasts, a lifestyle the rest of the band can’t touch.
I'm just flabbergasted at the gall. How far are some people willing to go to victimize these four men??
A LIFESTYLE THE REST OF THE BAND CAN'T TOUCH???? WHAT????
Access to the Pre-Grammy gala honoring Irving Azoff or the Madison Club isn’t a bonus—it’s the point. Jeff becomes the gatekeeper to a universe Harry can’t reach alone.
But Zayn can reach it alone, so why the fuck wouldn't Harry??
This woman is so condescending and diminishing of the other four as well. She's painting them as destitute and nobodies. They're millionaires, in the best position to make every connection and live a life of ultimate luxury. Give me a fucking break.
The Company Built Around the Star
The timeline shows that Jeff Azoff’s managerial infrastructure (Full Stop Management) was not pre-existent to Styles; it was built around him.
LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER
The company was built around Irving. Irving left Live Nation in 2013 and signed a non-compete agreement that prevented him from working in a lot of parts of the industry (particularly live music). This non-compete ran for two years and ended in late 2015.
Full Stop Management was founded by Jeff and Tommy, then later joined by multiple other managers, including Jeff's father, Irving. It was clearly always the plan for Irving to join Full Stop (why the fuck wouldn't he?). It was announced shortly after the company itself was announced and before Harry released music.
Jeff leaves CAA in early 2016, announces the new firm, and within weeks, Harry’s Dunkirk casting and Columbia deal break in perfect sequence.
The Full Stop announcement was March 7. Harry signed with Columbia June 24. Both 2016, but definitely not "within weeks" unless you'd call almost 16 weeks that... The Dunkirk announcement was just a few days after the Full Stop announcement, but... Full Stop had nothing to do with Dunkirk.
Harry had auditioned since January for the role. The role was offered to him via his agent Alex Mebed (CAA, but film, not music). The movie was under Warner Bros Studios, which has literally NO correlation with Sony, Full Stop, CAA, or anything of the sort. The announcement was handled by Warner. Jeff and Co would have no control over that at all.
Taylor Swift (October 2012 – January 2013): The Invisible Hand
Jeff is nowhere in the paparazzi shots, yet his fingerprints are everywhere. As a senior CAA agent, he worked the levers from a distance. The One Direction Madison Square Garden show—Azoff family holy ground—landed smack in the middle of the Swift whirlwind.
BUT THE AZOFFS HAD NO CONNECTION TO MSG IN DECEMBER 2012. The Azoffs also have no connection to Taylor Swift whatsoever!
This reeks of antisemitism, too. The wording is disgusting. "His fingerprints are everywhere." It's quite literally another way of saying this:
It's abhorrent and disgusting and this person should be ashamed of themselves.
I'm not going to continue after this. We've reached a point of no return. The text goes on forever, essentially saying that the Azoffs control every single aspect of Harry's life and career. I can't even begin to explain how problematic that is.
Hopefully showing you that she's DEAD WRONG on ALL her assessments until this point is enough. Never send me links to that woman again. She needs to be reported to the ACLU.
Please could you do a general debunk of this faux intellectual substack post which says the craziest shit about Harry & Zoe's relationship but is being shared widely. One of the most ridiculous claims is that the press "lost interest" in photos of Harry and Zoe after the Paris photos and refused to buy any so the "stunt" had to end prematurely.
You sent this on October 15th and then we got this on October 17th.
The singer, 31, and Batman actress, 36, were both dressed in black as they strolled along the street hand-in-hand.
We also got this article on October 16th
Harry Styles wrapped up in a black long coat and red scarf as he left girlfriend Zoe Kravitz's apartment in New York City last week.
So there’s nothing for me to debunk.
Also, to keep in mind, the only pap photos that weren’t bought by the media were by a French freelancer pap. So the ones we got in Paris on September 26 and 30. The pap outright posted the photos and video on his TikTok, btw. Most likely scenario the pap just didn’t connect with an agency (such as Backgrid) for whatever reason, or was amateur enough to make the photos available to the public before making them available to publications, but it definitely wasn’t a case of no interest…
This article is from the day before the first set of pics, so September 25:
The singer, 31, joined 50,000 runners for the 26.2 mile race last weekend with the actress, 36, there cheering him on as he crossed the fini
It was a paywalled article on Daily Mail +, which signals there isn’t just enough interest to write an article based on nothing (no pics and nothing had happened—they were just speculating that it was serious because she was in Berlin with him), but also to make that article only available behind a paywall. The articles they paywall are the ones that will bring more traffic, to try to entice people to buy a subscription. This isn’t the only article of their Daily Mail has pay walled.
I honestly didn’t even open the link and have no interest to, sorry. But based on the text of your own ask, it was a pretty stupid argument to begin with.
hi :) could you make a post about all these times Louis was shady about Harry since they started their solo careers? I remember some subtle (some not so subtle) shade directed at Harry during Louis' promo cycles
I'd love to. I don't have the time to dig all of that up. Send it over and I'll make the post.
Would you consider doing a post on what Gemma and Anne have said/posted about Israel/Palestine? Cause I see people talking about them but I can’t remember everything they’ve shared. Thanks! Also your thoughts on Jeff, Ben and James’ when it comes to Zionism or other people in his circle? My bad if you already spoke about them. I just want to get a summary of the view’s of everyone important he associates with but I know that can be hard to compile.
I don’t think it’s wise to make a post about what people adjacent to Harry have said about Palestine because imo it means as much as what Ben has said/done, so, nothing at all.
Harry isn’t guilty by association nor is he innocent by association.
The truth of the matter is that he’s not said a single thing about Israel/Gaza ever. We have no idea what his opinion is or if he even has one.
What he said in the past about Israel (2013/2014) was simply that he wanted to go there based simply on the fact that at the time he was living with a Jewish family who considered Israel their “homeland.” As not only a lot of Jewish people do but also a lot of Christians—this isn’t talked about often, but it is a pillar of Christian ideology that Jews = Israel. In fact, most of them even believe that current Israel is the same as the Israel that was in the Bible (I can assure you that even with how small my blog is, someone reading this right now has just found out that there were two separate instances of Israel).
Harry was 19/20. At that point in time, he hadn’t finished school, hadn’t gone to university, and was a lot less mature than he is now. He most likely wasn’t paying attention to world issues or the news at all. Harry’s political awareness did a radical 180 when he entered his mid-twenties (which is a perfectly normal age to start getting acquainted with… the world). He started reading, he started going to museums, watching documentaries, speaking up. He’s always been very curious but he became someone cultured with time.
That said, we don’t know what he thinks now. And I make no claims to know. The only inkling we have of his own personal opinion was refusing to perform in Israel when offered a ton of money to do so. I do think that says something about his position. But we don’t know his true motivation.
Ben has a Zionist position. Not as bad as people try to make it seem (that he’s funding the IDF or personally sending people to the IDF for instance), but it is a Zionist position. James, I have no idea. I don’t think he’s said anything? Maybe he signed some petition. I’m not aware.
Jeff, is more complicated. His family has actually NEVER supported Israel, which is kind of a big deal considering they’re a prominent Jewish family in Hollywood. There is a lot of pressure in America to support Israel. In politics, both sides of the aisle support Israel unconditionally and to a disgusting degree. And Zionists dominate Hollywood—important side note, not in a “Jewish people dominate Hollywood” way at all. Most Zionists are actually evangelical. Zionists dominate Hollywood because it’s the position of power in America. There’s economic interests in it. That’s the reason someone like Leonardo DiCaprio is supposedly building a hotel in Israel, for instance. End of side note.
Anyway, the fact that there were no mentions of the Azoffs supporting Israel in all the years Irving had been active is definitely curious and notable. But after October 7 happened (very shortly after) Irving signed a pro Israel petition, and Jeff signed another. Neither were the big one to Joe Biden. IMO, it’s possible that was just to get the pressure off their back, a ~smart~ move to not have to commit to support Israel in a more meaningful way down the line but also not lose support from powerful Zionists. That’s my inkling, now, am I correct? Who the fuck knows? Probably just them and their inner circle. Would it really matter if I am? Not really. Putting your name in the dotted line to save your own skin when there’s a genocide happening is lousy and weak and speaks a lot about privileged people acting privileged. BUT it is markedly different than being a staunch Zionist.
ANYWAY. With all of this said, I don’t think I’ll ever make a detailed post on what every person in his inner circle has said. I think it’d be hypocritical to tell people to ignore Ben’s position and Jeff signing that petition but look at his mom’s and sister’s posts. Neither of those things is indicative of Harry’s personal position so why should it matter?
I think people who want to purity test celebrities and get to a point of looking at their inner circle are maybe coming from a genuine place but missing the mark. There is no way of avoiding having working or close relationships with a Zionist. Zayn is signed to a small record label, Mercury Records, and the head of the record label is a Zionist. Pretty blatantly so.
Zayn is pro Palestine, right? He has a daughter with a half Palestinian woman and even supported Palestine before he met her. So should Zayn leave his record label or not release any more music through it? Should his fans boycott his music?
What about this?
So maybe none of us should ever use Spotify ever again? Not to mention, how many people do you know who are actively asking what their friends and family’s position is on Israel/Palestine? I have never had a conversation about it with 90% of my close friends/family, and I’m extremely pro Palestine and have gone to protests and donated.
My position is that you can’t fix ignorance and that I judge people by their purposeful malice. If they actively say “fuck those Palestinian kids they’re all future terrorists anyway” then I don’t ever want to see their face again. If they’re just wrongly opinionated then I’ll establish my position, make clear why I don’t agree with theirs, and move on. It’s not my place to educate them and I likely won’t accomplish anything. And there’s so much evil in the world I can’t possibly expect everyone surrounding me to be informed about all of it and have the correct positions. And how do I pick and choose what’s important?
Harry was seen kissing a mystery woman at Glastonbury. Everyone’s saying it’s Olivia dean but idk. What do you think?
Olivia Dean is performing at Glastonbury, if it was her she would’ve been identified. Also Olivia’s hair is wavy not coily. The woman in the video seems to have 4A type hair.
Louis recently liked a Larry vid on insta and then unliked it. People have screenshots. This happened during Glastonbury. Your thoughts??
He was probably drunkenly looking up both of their names on Instagram to see what people were saying about them at Glasto and accidentally liked it. He’s said in the past that he’s jealous of Harry’s success so I can imagine that both being at the same event but getting wildly different coverage isn’t good for his ego.
Harry is rumored to be a secret performer or people say he’s probably eyeing things to headline in 2027. Meanwhile Louis is only talked about very sparsely and they’re mostly just talking about his gf, who’s a UK starlet.
What I take from it the most is that the tweet from HSD posting about the like only has 25,000 likes so far
I think it’s very telling as to how many Larries have exited the conspiracy.
I found this screenshot someone else tweeted right below the tweet about the like. Look at the interactions… and it’s just a meme. Three years ago that like would’ve gotten 100,000 likes incredibly fast, both from Larries and nostalgic 1D fans.
Anon with the link asking me to debunk the major of the hags…
I’m never ever going to post a link to that blog. It’s why I call her that instead of the name most people use for her.
I find her blog a cesspool of antisemitism, misogyny, and racism. She’s a sociopath who needs psychological help and I would never direct people to read her incredibly harmful rhetoric. She should be deplatformed—both for the benefit of her own mental health and because she’s poisonous.
Like, not the Larry related stuff, the production, vocals and the writing itself?
Do you think it should have been as much of a hit in the fandom as it was?
I don’t think it was as big of a hit in the fandom tbh. I think fans were really upset about Zayn leaving and how short the promo era for Four was, so they latched onto the first thing they could find.
It’s a pretty bad song and Louis’ voice has always sounded like nails on a chalkboard to me.
1D on In:Demand by Romeo. I believe this was filmed on August 18, 2011.
At 4:54 they are asked about the Princess Park complex. Zayn says Louis "pretty much lives" at his. Not sure what urged him to say that. But it adds to your point about how Harry and Louis didn't actually spend that much time living together.
It was filmed in January 2012. The video was uploaded Jan 16th, 2012 and it was filmed in Scotland. One Direction had two shows in Scotland around this time, Jan 13th and 14th. The Larrie timeline blogs place this video on January 14th and there are a couple of fan pics of this day where they're wearing the same outfits.
In August they had not moved into Princess Park yet. They moved in mid-September/early October (probably early October).
Anyway, thanks! Yeah, I knew Zayn had said this but with all the digging I had to do I was too lazy to look this up. Zayn and Louis started to get closer as Harry and Louis drifted apart.
