Yeah, right. Of course. What else did you prefer me to do? Go and talk about it? We were basically doing a press run on Zayn leaving the band, I wasnât going to go and start talking about an issue that wasnât my own to discuss and exactly like you said, issues I knew nothing about, so yes. I joked about it, it was the only way I knew how to deal with all that, I never made fun of you personally or your issues. I did what I could to respect your decision, and deal with it as publicly as we had to. If you want to compare making jokes as a form of divert the attention to give a full interview on how we never were even close, then by all means. I apologize if I ever offended you, I did what I though was best at the time, to both protect your privacy, respect your decision, and support the band and the lads, you will never know what weâve been through with the aftermath of you leaving the way that you did.Â
do you hear yourself right now, harry? youâre literally putting the band before my health and youâre seriously standing there telling me that you had no idea what went on with me? were you completely blind? it came to a point where the band meant nothing to me- thatâs how fuckinâ numb i became and donât fucking talk to me about aftermaths! you have no idea how i struggled but yeah, letâs talk about you lot. letâs talk about how i was the reason you couldnât continue as a band. it wasnât because liam was a fucked up drunk. it wasnât because louis continued to shame one direction with his poor decisions. it wasnât because we literally got locked inside our hotel rooms. it wasnât because we were constantly labeled as gays which made our girlfriends fear for their lives. but yeah, letâs put the blame on me. you keep telling yourself that. i got out because i had to and if you couldnât continue, then that wasnât my fault. the only reason i said what i said was because you didnât have my back when i needed you the most. you turned on me the second i decided to save myself.
