Louis Tomlinson<\/a> isn\u2019t known for big celebrity feuds but there\u2019s one famous face he just cannot stand: Logan Paul<\/a>.<\/p>\n He revealed in a new interview that he will \u2018forever despise\u2019 the internet personality after a controversial chat with Liam Payne<\/a>.<\/p>\n In 2022, Payne appeared on Logan\u2019s podcast<\/a>, drink in hand, and blasted Zayn Malik<\/a> while admitting he had thrown his former One Direction<\/a> bandmate \u2018up a wall\u2019.<\/p>\n The star, who died at the age of 31<\/a>\u00a0on October 16, 2024<\/a>, was called \u2018arrogant\u2019 by fans as he claimed he was \u2018de facto leader\u2019 of the band.<\/p>\n He later apologised for his words and revealed he spent 100 days in rehab<\/a> after the interview.<\/p>\n \u2018I f***ing forever despise [Logan Paul], horrible, horrible little f***er,\u2019 Louis, 33, told the\u00a0Independent<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t He continued: \u2018I think that\u2019s also the problem with some of this new \u201cmedia\u201d. I would like to think most journalists\u2026 some journalists have a duty of care.\u2019<\/p>\n However, Louis acknowledged that there was truth to Payne\u2019s statement that he had ended up as the leader.<\/p>\n \u2018It was, definitely,\u2019 he said. \u2018It was definitely a role that was assigned to him. That is the truth.\u2019<\/p>\n Discussing the sudden loss of his friend, who fell from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires,\u00a0Argentina<\/a>, Louis said he would \u2018never accept it\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n Recently, while on Steven Bartlett\u2019s\u00a0Diary of a CEO podcast<\/a>, the Walls singer shared that it was Niall Horan<\/a>\u00a0who broke the devastating news to him.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t Payne wasn\u2019t Louis\u2019 first experience of intense grief. In December 2016, Louis\u2019 mother Johannah Deakin died of leukaemia at the age of 43, and three years later, in March 2019, his younger sister F\u00e9licit\u00e9, 18, died from an accidental overdose.<\/p>\n \u2018I had the same feeling that I had with F\u00e9licit\u00e9, and I think anyone has this when they\u2019re around someone who\u2019s struggling; my 150% wasn\u2019t nearly enough,\u2019 Louis said.<\/p>\n \u2018And that\u2019s when it\u2019s my own arrogance thinking that I could have helped really, because it was so much deeper than what I could have done for him. He was definitely struggling at that time in his life.\u2019<\/p>\n The History hitmaker said Payne was the \u2018closest thing to a brother\u2019 and he was \u2018always\u2019 worried about him.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t Payne had been public about his mental health struggles in the years before his death<\/a>, finding the pressures of fame overwhelming.<\/p>\n In a 2019 Sky documentary, he told Ant Middleton: \u2018Like you say, when things start to pile on top of each other, that\u2019s when it can really get you.<\/p>\n \u2018You\u2019ve really got to change your view about it. There\u2019s only one thing you control in that situation, it\u2019s you.\u2019<\/p>\n The day after Payne\u2019s death, One Direction released a joint statement on\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0in which Louis and his other bandmates\u00a0Harry Styles<\/a>,\u00a0Zayn and\u00a0Niall said they were \u2018completely devastated\u2019.<\/p>\n On the first anniversary of his death, his sisters Nicola Payne and Ruth Gibbins paid tribute to the late star on Instagram, with Ruth admitting she is still \u2018paralysed\u2019 by grief daily.<\/p>\n Got a story?<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk<\/a> entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff<\/a> page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"SmackDown\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2151839929.jpg\")
