so do you think after the mess that was boobiegate and the sugar daddy threatening to expose them, louis decided to take the situation in his hands to make himself look more like a hands on dad?
I don’t know, nonnie. Up until 2020, selling babygate relied entirely on the Clarks who struggled with Louis’ fans that kept pointing out their mistakes, would mock the Clark grandma by sending her pics of Leo DiCaprio as a kid and making her confirm how much (she thought it was Louis) he looked like Freddie. Things like that happened all the time.
So what I think could’ve led to a change was:
In December 2020, Brett Clark and his mother (?) argued once again with fans in their IG comment sections about their bs claims that Louis “had just seen Freddie” when Louis couldn’t have been there at all due to COVID travel restrictions at the time (you couldn’t even fly into the US from overseas and if you did->) PLUS the isolation periods after traveling PLUS all of these travel times not aligning with Louis rehearsing for his LIVESTREAM concert and him meeting fans outside the London venue earlier that same month and having to perform his LIVESTREAM concert LIVE for 160k+ viewers. When called out for it, Brett decided to throw Louis under the bus and claimed the concert wasn’t even live but prerecorded. Can you imagine? That’s Brett saying “Louis lied to all of you fans” in order to keep his own story straight. So this was the first crack that showed that the Clarks were well fed up shouldering the stunt alone.
And the other issue happening around the same time was Briana being dragged to court by her ex sugar daddy for owning him money he gave her for a boobjob and the risk of having those court documents released, in which we might find out Briana isn’t a mother after all. That was a very close call! So when both parties didn’t show up at court and the case was automatically dismissed, we all assumed Louis must have come rushing to pay the ex to avoid a huge scandal.
Speaking of scandal, Celebmagazine definitely decided to target Louis in articles over boobiegate. They tried to blow up this story and kept warming up all the inconsistencies around Louis being the father, including this weird tweet by this dude claiming he had a bit of Freddie’s hair in a bag just in case, for a DNA test. (If I find it I will add the link or maybe someone else can add it?)
It was so weird because it had this threatening build up at the time with a gossip outlet we all hadn’t heard of before and with them pushing that story so much. They were like bloodhounds at the time and if the court date had happened, you can bet your ass they would have been the first to get a hold on these documents.
I remember when the court date was nearing how worried I was for Louis and what that aftermath could mean for him. I don’t know what it was that made Louis change gears about babygate, but it happened right after all of this and that’s the way things are now.
