Liam Payne’s friend, Roger Nores, is taking legal action against the father of the late singer for defamation. Nores has been accused of abandonment by authorities in Argentina following Liam’s tragic death at the age of 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires last year.
Nores alleges that Geoff Payne, the father of the One Direction star, has tarnished his reputation in the media since Liam’s passing by claiming that Nores had full responsibility for Liam’s well-being leading up to his death.
Hitting back, Nores told TMZ, “Geoff needs to backtrack on his sworn statement as he very well knows I wasn’t Liam’s nurse or caretaker.
“Liam, who I miss every day, was my dear friend and an independent, brilliant, respectful free man who did whatever he wanted whenever he wanted.”
Nores has filed a lawsuit against Geoff, stating that he was never paid to care for Liam Payne and did not agree to be his caretaker. He has submitted emails as evidence, showing that he advised Geoff to provide more support for his son, but his suggestions were allegedly ignored.
