kotecha was sharing his version of events as he experienced it. It's ok for him to say it was a difficult and hurtful time when Louis iced him out. Sounds like you don't believe kotecha should be allowed to share it because you don't like that he considered Louis to be less talented than his bandmates. You dont have to like it or agree.
Kotecha went out of his way to slander Louis because he held a grudge after being kicked off the One Direction gravy train.
He did that at a vulnerable time for Louis, only months after Louis’ mom passed away and immediately before Harry released his first solo album.
Kotecha didn’t merely subjectively think Louis was less talented— he implied Louis was untalented, as well as a bad singer and ugly.
Kotecha said all these things as an industry songwriter with major clout, knowing that the audience for the podcast was large.
I completely understand why Kotecha would consider himself Team Harry instead of Team Louis, given how the stars were aligned in early 2017.
I also understand why Harries would defend people who intentionally denigrate Louis and gaslight fans into thinking this vile, destructive propaganda is “feelings.”
