Simon Cowell, the mastermind behind the enduring summer sensation America's Got Talent, has been a staple in the talent show landscape for years. With 19 seasons under its belt, and Cowell himself judging for eight of them, AGT has provided a platform for countless aspiring performers hoping to achieve their dreams. While Cowell has honed his reputation as a discerning and sometimes acerbic judge on shows like American Idol, The X Factor, and Britain's Got Talent, it seems AGT brings out a different side of him.
On AGT, audiences witness a more nuanced Cowell, one who balances his trademark candor with genuine empathy for the diverse acts that grace the stage. Over the years, Cowell has expressed his fondness for the show's inherent optimism, finding inspiration in the contestants' resilience and determination to overcome challenges.
America's Got Talent airs Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 8/7c on NBC and streams the next day on Peacock.

hello :) could you maybe explain a little bit how dan wootton blackmailed louis?
ugh sorry for taking a while to get to this. The problem is I feel like the only two ways to answer this are by spending a week and a half of full time labor sifting through old posts and evidence to get every detail right and lay out an airtight case, or to halfass something very serious, and so I felt a little stuck. So since I can't seem to find a good halfway point, apologies but here is the half assed version, if you want to get into it more I invite you to do your own deep dive or talk to other people, but here's how I remember things. Louis has almost never on video explicitly said things about Larry not being real and/or anything negative about fans and their theories (mostly the opposite), up until the last couple years when he obviously decided to make a major change he didn't talk about Freddie much at all let alone saying he was his kid, honestly not that much about Eleanor even; except for in two major interviews with Dan Wootton, each of which lined up with a serious traumatic Tomlinson family event that they managed to keep out of the tabloids until the very end (Jay's illness and Fizzy's struggles with substance abuse). After the fact of those events a lot of small things that didn't make sense at the time came together to look very much like Louis traded those interviews (and those answers) for having his family's private matters kept private. Story trading of this kind is a publicly known real thing that happens, and there were various clues that suggested he was being leaned on about those stories to lend legitimacy to the idea that it was something that happened in these cases. Given what we know about Dan Wootton and how he operates even before the recent flood of information and even more now, I think it's more than likely that he has been holding the threat of outing Louis (as he has done to many other public figures) over his head for over a decade, and has used his family's tragic struggles to get Louis to dance like a fucking puppet for him and I will REJOICE at his downfall when it comes whether it is now or 20 years from now... because someday it will, he has made too many enemies to stay above it forever
#I did start to try to deep dive before I realized it was too much#but I was reminded that when Louis was doing txf as a judge while fizzy was struggling#many people thought he had been pressured somehow into it; later when we knew what had been going on people were like#oh maybe he just wanted to be close to home to deal with fizzy stuff or somethng#but also: keeping fizzy stuff quiet would potentially be the info we didn't have at that time that could answer that q too of what they use#given the DW🤝simon jones🤝simon cowell cursed connections#(for the newbies: simon jones aka DWs bestie is Louis' publicist for no apparent reason even now long after he has gotten free of the rest#of the modest/syco/simon cowell shitshow)#anyway another example of story trading in our fandom is zayn's baby sister's teen pregnancy#which was known to the fandom early on but kept super quiet by respectful fans- during this time Z did some unprecedented actual interviews#for no obvious reason#and then iirc pretty much the day she turned 17 a very lowkey article reported on her marrying her bf and mentioning a pregnancy#but as if it was recent not like 7 months along#and even when she gave birth soon after it was all kind of... glossed over and around and not reported until a little later#blah blah blah#I felt like it was weird to talk about this for some reason but when I thought about it#I don't know if it matters. Like maybe talking about him not being a dad and being gay or whatever at all is bad#but assuming we're doing that anyway. why not talk about the struggles around that#and the creeps holding it over his head#dan wootton

For new fans this video help me a lot when I was new in the fandom. It's 4 years old but shares a few of the awful things the boys have to deal while they were in the band. One phrase Jasmine said is that One Direction was not a band they were a brand, yes they love each other but the way management sell them was as brand and a very manufactered and control one, contrary of all the lies Simon said recently.

The Music Industry is FUCKED UP: Simon Cowell
Simon Cowell is a very powerful man who has done a good job of cleaning up his muddy footprints behind him. This post is intended to highlight not only his own pedophilic allegations and habits, but the people he surrounds himself with and publicly supports who are much the same if not worse. Simon Cowell is a man among like-minded company, for all the wrong reasons.
Table of contents:
The "Buffet" - told by Gavin Bain
Max Clifford
David Walliams
Jonathan King
The Buffet - told by Gavin Bain
Back in December 2024, Gavin Bain (former half of the rap/rock duo Silibil 'n Brains) went on The John Cooper Show to talk in-depth about his story "getting one over" on Sony. The original 2 videos (x) (x) that went around were just clips, with the full interview being locked behind a $9.99 Youtube Membership paywall. So, I took one for the team, and paid for 1 month of a membership to watch the whole thing.
Originally, I was going to transcribe the entire interview, but I quickly realized that is not only VERY hard, but very useless. The bits about Simon Cowell were brief and at the very end, the rest of the interview was about Gavin's personal story. I did, however, take notes on everything, so expect a post about Silibil 'n Brains soon, I guess.
Gavin explained how he, when he was still in Silibil 'n Brains, was invited to an industry afterparty that took place in a strip club. He mentioned earlier in the interview how all of these industry parties seemed to take place in strip clubs, for some reason. He ran into this guy who worked for Island Records, a record company Gavin had considered signing to but didn't, and the guy looked shocked to see Gavin there.
Apparently the afterparty was split into 2 sides of the venue, and Gavin, following people he recognized, had accidentally entered the wrong side. He had entered "the buffet." The Island Records guy asked Gavin "Who are you here with?" And Gavin said he was here with his duo-mate, to which Island Records guy said "Here-here? You're- you're gonna go to the buffet?" Gavin, taking that question literally, answered with "Why would I want to eat right now?"
That's when Gavin sees this boy he recognizes from around, a boy he knows is underage because he wasn't allowed to drink (this happened in the UK so the drinking age and age of adulthood are the same). The boy is in a lineup of other teenage girls and boys in very revealing clothing, none of the could have been older than 14-15 according to Gavin. Separate from the teenage lineup is a group of very influential music executives and industry people.
He later runs into the Island Records guy again, who tells him "You're not supposed to be here, you weren't invited. You shouldn't be here."
Later on, after this party, Gavin discovered that this was "Simon and Max's 'thing.'" These underage sex parties were a routine event hosted and organized by Simon Cowell and Max Clifford at "undisclosed strip joints." They'd invite teenagers who wanted to get into the music/entertainment industry, and they'd make them have sex with older execs for career opportunities that often never came.
Years later, Gavin came across the boy he'd recognized, who'd been underage at the time of attending the buffet. The boy, who Gavin didn't name, told him his story. He had been coerced by a Syco employee- a woman in her late 40s at the time- into having sex with her in exchange for career benefits. What ended up happening was this woman kept having sex with this underage boy, and the boy was coerced into signing away all of his image rights to Syco, trapping himself in a cycle of shitty TV appearances and roles he didn't want. He was legally unable to escape Syco at that point.
Direct quote from Gavin- "God knows where all those kids have come from. They're already tied up in pre-development deals, those deals don't just come to anyone." He explained how the boy felt like he needed to keep his sexual relationship with the older Syco employee a secret because he was underage, and he thought he would get in trouble for it. "You're never gonna cause a problem, because you think you've done something wrong."
Gavin and John Cooper also discussed another related incident, but since it isn't Simon Cowell related, I'm saving that for another post.
Max Clifford - Simon Cowell's former manager
Max Clifford was Simon Cowell's manager for over a decade, until around 2012 when he was arrested as a part of Project Yewtree on suspicion of sexual assault, and later found guilty and imprisoned for 8 accounts of such crimes in 2014. He would pass away in prison in 2017. (x) He was, as discussed above, involved in hosting Simon's buffet parties.
The fact that such a deplorable repeat offender was not only one of Simon's closest friends, but his manager of over a decade prior to his conviction, really highlights the web of pedophiles that Simon surrounds himself with. Pedophiles, I've learned, are pack animals. They're always in groups, you rarely find one working alone in the music industry. When one gets caught, they get ousted by the others and people act like their close friends and coworkers aren't likely doing the same thing.
There's a reason people say the music industry is one big sex trafficking ring- it's rife with people like Simon and Max everywhere you turn. And they all protect each other.
David Walliams - BGT & Harry Styles
David Walliams was a judge on Britain’s Got Talent alongside Simon Cowell from 2012-2022. David has faced a slew of controversies, most relevant a comment he made about Harry in 2011, when Harry was only 17 years old.
The comment was “I’d like to suck his cock” and it was broadcasted on Chris Moyles' Quiz Night. David was 40 at the time. The comment being made in 2011 and David being hired for BGT in 2012 means that Cowell chose to hire this man after this controversy, highlighting a concerning lack of care. But what else is new? (x)
Among David’s other controversies was an incident in 2006 where he exposed the genitals of multiple teenagers and simulated sexual acts with them for a comedy sketch. He repeated this sketch for years, with hefty criticism, and yet no official charges were ever pressed. (x)
Jonathan King - Simon paid his bail
Jonathan King is a record producer, singer-songwriter, music entrepreneur, and TV presenter who was convicted of four counts of sexual assault against teenage boys in 2001. His bail was set for £150,000, £50,000 of which was paid for by Simon Cowell. Although Jonathan was only convicted of 4 counts, 27 different men accused him of sexually assaulting them.
After Jonathan got out of prison, he was later arrested again as a part of Operation Ravine and charged in 2017 with 18 counts of sexual offenses, again against teenage boys. He was eventually acquitted of these charges, as a result of police errors and difficulties with a fair trial being carried out. (x) (x)
This guy has been accused of sexual assault by, like, 45 fucking people. Even if he was only convicted of 4, I highly suspect more of them were true and just didn't have enough evidence in court- and we know 18 were thrown out because the cops fucked up the investigation.
Conclusion
Simon Cowell needs to get curb stomped BADLY. He surrounds himself with pedophiles and rapists, and he himself runs pedophilic sex parties on the regular. Nobody cares, though. You won't see this in the news- they're too busy with the Diddy case, exposing more than one pedophile at a time is bad for the industry.

i will never understand why a 31/32 year old woman would date a 17 year old boy. yes ik it was a stunt however take the stunt out of it for a second. caroline flack was like 14-15 years older than harry. ik the legal age in england is 17 but still. it’s absolutely disgusting and predatory. the fact she even played into this idea nauseates me. simon cowell is a literal fucking demon. pushing the womanizer cougar lover narrative on harry when he was 16-17 years old is INSANE!! no one protected harry from the predators in this industry. no one stepped in and protected him whatsoever. harry was sexually harassed by interviewers and fans for years, especially when he was in one direction. i hope every single person who preyed on and harmed him never have a peaceful day in their lives. the amount of damage they caused this sweet angel is absolutely gut wrenching. they stole his innocence from him and i’ll never forgive this industry for that. and caroline flack had no backbone and never cared about harry. shame on them.

The new season of America's Got Talent marks Simon Cowell's 10th turn on the judges' panel. Cowell, who also created, and executive produces the series, has a genuinely good time sitting in that seat. We've spoken to him often during the show's run, he consistently said that he knows he's going to see something he's never seen before, something that will surprise, shock, and delight him.
America's Got Talent airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC, and episodes start streaming the following day on Peacock.

10 June 2024.
Note, Steven Bartlett was (too) kind with Simon and premised the question as Liam having "struggles" and the struggles that come with fame and change. No mention was made about Liam's problems with addiction.
If you want to watch that part of the Steven and Simon interview, just choose the relevant chapter x

Jade Thirlwall was only 14 when she first presented herself for judgement. She put on her best leopard-print headband and bravely sang some of Whitney Houston’s ‘Where Do Broken Hearts Go’ in front of the X Factor panel. “You’re a funny little thing, aren’t you,” remarked an amused Simon Cowell, like a cat playing with its food. Louis Walsh then jumped in with: “Unusual!” In response, Thirlwall thanked them with an unwieldy grin. 
For this tiny singer, it would be a case of third time lucky. After being put through to boot camp twice, she auditioned again at the age of 18, now wearing leopard-print trousers. Judge Kelly Rowland told the naturally shy teenager she’d be good in a girl group, an idea that Thirlwall was completely unimpressed with. She was resolute about being a solo artist and an unusual one at that.  
Rowland, of Destiny’s Child fame, had correctly identified herself in Thirlwall. That season of the show, Thirlwall was placed in what would become the second biggest-selling UK girl group of all time, Little Mix. Their accolades could fill an infinite scrolling Wiki page. They were a well-oiled commercial pop machine amassing billions of streams with hits like ‘Black Magic’ and ‘Shout Out to My Ex’ while touring stadiums until they went on hiatus in 2022. “I didn’t see myself as a conventional girl’s girl. I was nerdy and quiet. When they told me I was gonna be put in a girl group, I automatically thought of Pussycat Dolls,” she laughs. “I thought, ‘Oh no, I’m not sexy — and if they’re bitchy, I’ll struggle because I’m not confrontational at all. I shrink at any drama.’ But it turned out to be the best thing to ever happen to me for my confidence and understanding of sisterhood.”
Tonight, I’m sharing wine with her at a table in Shoreditch House to discuss the fact that Thirlwall finally has what she wanted: she is the solo pop star she always dreamed of being. “I’m a bit of a dark horse,” the Rolling Stone UK Trailblazer Award winner tells me. “I’ll try anything once. I don’t see myself as a safe person creatively and I am a bit strange. All my life I’ve been told I’m weird.” Her bandmates and friends saw it, her boyfriend, Rizzle Kicks singer Jordan Stephens, saw it, Cowell clocked it after only minutes in her company, and now the rest of the world gets to see it.  
Outwardly, she didn’t seem like the biggest personality in the band, but behind the scenes, Thirlwall had been the creative driving force and business mind. For her solo project, that incisive playfulness is fully on display. From the horror-influenced visuals to the Drag Race inspiration, Thirlwall — whose solo artist name is JADE — is more aligned with Charli XCX than Little Mix. On the addictive lead single, ‘Angel of My Dreams’, she switches between a Y2K sound, hyperpop and a nostalgic girl band chorus gone wonky to tell a story about the dark side of the music industry, a theme that is repeated across her presently untitled debut album. It’s smart and entirely unexpected.  
In person, Thirlwall has the same excitable offbeat energy she had as a 14-year-old in her first audition. She’s like a conspiratorial friend primed for gossip exchange: she directs me to a clip that circulated from a Little Mix interview where fans thought she was on cocaine because she was pulling odd faces. “People don’t believe me even now,” she laughs, pausing to sip on her rosé. There were bad moments and dramas when she was in the group, of course, but she’s prepared for the same to happen in her solo career. “I’m never going to discredit what we achieved. I don’t have anything bad to say about it, so I wouldn’t stir anything up, just to look cool,” she laughs again. 
The group’s young fanbase has matured with its members. Thirlwall doesn’t see it as her responsibility to appease them or tell them what they should and shouldn’t do. “I’m 31 years old, I’m gonna write about stuff I experience, my merchandise will reflect that, you know what I mean?” One such recent merchandise bundle includes sex aids. The other day, while recording with Sugababes, she told them what’s included in the package and had to explain to Keisha Buchanan what a butt plug is, much to her amusement. This is an older and wiser Jade Thirlwall having even more fun.
Thirlwall grew up in a household of eclectic tastes in South Shields, a seaside town near Newcastle. Her mother was a Motown fan who looked like Diana Ross, while her dad listened to 80s power ballads and VH1 classics. Her big brother — who she aspired to be like as every younger sibling does — was deeply into the happy hardcore-clubland classics era of the 90s and 00s. It was a happy childhood, in part due to the fact that there’s a strong Yemeni community in South Shields (Thirlwall is half Arab: one-quarter Yemeni, one-quarter Egyptian). “I have a lot of memories of my grandad cooking curries or waiting for him outside the mosque,” she remembers. “I listened to his prayer and Arabic music, too.” It wasn’t until she went to a Catholic secondary school, where she felt alienated, that she began to struggle with racist remarks and her feelings of anxiety. She was bullied by other girls, hence her initial reservations about being in a girl band. 
While she was in Little Mix, she didn’t understand that she could have spoken out more about her race. “I’d only ever seen negative stereotypes of Arab people in the press, so I was scared to promote my heritage,” she says. “I feel sad for my younger self that I could’ve been the representation I needed back then. I try to make up for that now.” Thirlwall has been outspoken about issues close to her heart. Whether it was attending Black Lives Matter protests and pro-Palestine rallies or becoming an LGBTQ+ rights ambassador for the UK charity Stonewall, she stands out among many of her peers for her political verve. 
Each of the girls knew a year ahead that Little Mix were disbanding, so they individually spent that period preparing in the studio. “It took me a long time to figure out how to not write a Little Mix song because that’s all I’d done for a decade,” admits Thirlwall. Panicked about the idea of having so much stillness after the group, she made an abundance of music in a bid to find her sound as soon as possible. This became an advantage: so sure of what she wanted to do, Thirlwall was able to approach potential labels with a fully formed vision. After signing with RCA of Sony, they assured her she could take her time to release her solo music, which came as a surprise: in the pop world, two and a half years is a long time to disappear. “In hindsight, I was freaking out about existing without the group and thought I had to jump on the hype of us just disbanding. If I’d released then, I would’ve been anxious and have put so much pressure on myself to be as big as [Little Mix] was.”
[...]
If Thirlwall was in charge of the music industry, it’d look different. Sure, it’s improving for artists because social media means “you can’t get away with as much bad shit”, but there’s some way to go. When I ask her how she’d change it, she sits up in a businesslike manner and adopts an Elle Woods from Legally Blonde tone. Before she’ll answer that, she’ll take me back to the nagging feeling she had that something wasn’t right with Little Mix. The four girls were presented with different contracts and told who their team was, and she didn’t feel she had a choice. 
To all intents and purposes, Thirlwall and her fellow Little Mix band members were child stars. She agrees with this assessment. “I almost think you shouldn’t be allowed to be a star until you’re 18. I’m so glad I was turned away and didn’t get put in Little Mix until I was 18 — and even then, I feel like that was too young,” she says. 
Previous X Factor winner and South Shields born-and-bred Joe McElderry had warned Thirlwall of his negative experiences in the industry. “I remember him saying make sure your mum’s there when you’re doing all these important signings. But I was too young to understand what he meant, and I made the same mistakes as him.”  
It wasn’t until halfway into their career that the young women looked around and wondered who that person in the room being paid to be there was or why their peers and friends were making more money than them. Thirlwall and bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock helped to write the Little Mix music but weren’t signed into a publishing deal until 2019. Unfortunately, it was a “really shit deal” that they were stuck in but at least she was finally recognised as a songwriter, financially speaking. (For her solo career, she has not signed a publishing deal because she now finds it hard to trust the entire framework.)  
If she were queen of the industry, her first decree would be to introduce a comprehensive course that artists take as soon as they’re signed by a label (if not sooner), that teaches them what a label deal is, how royalties work and how they make their money. That would prevent the type of situation that Little Mix got into when they were first signed. “When you come from a working-class background, you get your advance and think you’ve made it, but you have to recoup everything back. You’re getting all these lavish cars and making them wait for ages, but you’re footing that bill eventually,” she laughs drily. She would also introduce the sort of mental health care she’s managed to negotiate as a solo artist with her new label: a substantial pot of money that she can use if she needs therapy. 
The topic of mental health brings the conversation round to Liam Payne, the One Direction member who tragically died in an accident while under the influence of drugs in October. He was Thirlwall’s peer — the only X Factor pop group to outperform Little Mix by any metric was One Direction, with the two groups frequently spoken about in the same breath — and was once her friend. They both had their first auditions during the same series, aged 14. The pair returned a second time: Liam went through to the finals and was placed into One Direction while Thirlwall was sent home. Payne was encouraging of Thirlwall and told her she had to keep trying X Factor. She was then put in a group on a later series. They fell out of touch over the years, but she was naturally upset to hear of the news for both him and for his family — their mothers are still friends.   
“When the news broke out, it did shake me up because we’d started the same, but we’d ended up on very different paths. We both wanted to make it so much and sometimes that is a blessing and a curse to get what you’ve dreamed of. It’s unbelievably tragic,” she says of Payne’s death.  
Just hours after it was reported that Payne had died, Thirlwall was due to start a heavy day of promo for her single ‘Fantasy’. She cancelled it as she didn’t feel like she was the right person to be fielding questions about his passing so soon after it happened. After all, she hadn’t been close to Payne over the past several years. “All I can speak of is who I knew he was when we were kids, and he was someone that wanted to make his family proud,” she reflects. “He wanted to be a singer more than anyone I knew.”

Tumblr media
Harry Styles has become synonymous with ‟sexiest man alive” and ‟world's sexiest man” simply by existing but at what cost?
DISCLAIMER: I own no pictures, articles, videos, excerpts used citations will follow nor am I affiliated with H / my take
Here I will take you down memory lane magnifying Harry's image from the start of X Factor circa 2010 to present day; with a fine eye pertaining to his sex appeal and womanizer narrative depicted in the limelight and mass media. As boyband 1D began to rise to fame the general public became fixated on Harry's sexual attributes.
Harry Styles appears to be the whole package. He has talent, wit, humor, a sensitive heart and looks but the harsh reality of living in a superficial world is: physical appearances are favored over substance. In result conventionally attractive people like Harry fall subject to heavy sexualization. Harry's professional music career started in 2010 as did the narrative.
Tumblr media
2010
April 11th Harry auditions for the X Factor at the age of 16 years old
Tumblr media
Harry is selected to be in a 5-part boyband 3 months later in July (birth of 1D)
Sep 26th Harry stars in a X Factor clip that aired with Katie a potential love interest and multiple other female contestants simultaneously
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'M JUST A TEENAGE DIRTBAG BABYYYYY Harry is portrayed to be a manwhore/player multiple women are at his disposal but he gets caught in the end; Harry doesn't pick any of them and male contestant Wagner sweeps him off his feet
Oct 7th The gold thong incident
Harry is exploited in a magazine as a minor (this makes me so angry and sick) and then asked about it in a interview see video Harry is labeled as an exhibitionist which implies Harry likes to arouse the others in the house with his nudeness or derive attention from his habit of being naked Typical child audiences don't know what an exhibitionist is This is a clear indication for adult attention and later grooming
Oct 20th Harry headlines in The Mirror for the first time featuring singer Cher Lloyd and their blossoming friendship
Tumblr media
This article is harmless in nature but helps promote Harry and female companionship on X Factor
Oct 21st 1D video diary week 2
Harry's role in 1D is the flirt at this time this is a given and understood (flirts are promiscuous and highly charming)
Oct 31st The Mirror claims Harry denies dating rumors with Cher Lloyd and insists Harry is interested in singer Frankie Sanford
cited: ‟Cher's not really my type. She's a great girl. We've become good friends but that's it.”
A follow up from the first article and the introduction of Harry and love interests in the media (Harry is referred to as a heartthrob - his appearance is emphasized; his sex appeal is apparent) Harry is picked as receiving the most attention within the band and LT of 1D teases Harry about his crush on Frankie Sanford see video (19:27)
Nov 2nd Harry shows some skin on his bunk bed
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The boy likes to be nude again why exploit a minor what's the motive?
The boys talk about Harry's nudity

Nov 13th The Mirror uses descriptive language to depict Harry seducing a mystery girl in Simon Cowell's dressing room (STEAMY!?)
Sources state he was caught after kissing-and-telling
Nov 22nd Daily Mail stirs up Harry and Cher rumors with pictures
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a common tactic in the music industry; articles will be released with a storyline and pictures will be "leaked" or be released to sway the publics opinion regardless of what was previously reported and it successfully added more fuel to keep the fire burning (attention on Harry)
Just in a span of a few months Harry was a subject of news revolving around his looks and women not his singing! That's normal though right?
Dec 7th The Mirror spew more bs 21 year old Peaches Geldof shows interest in little Harry
Harry shows no interest back
Dec 13th The Telegraph makes Harry the center of attention after a supposed naughty lip read to X Factor's winner Matt Cardle

I find it extremely odd Matt won a TV SHOW but Harry was the center of attention for something inaudible and sexual see video
Ask oneself why and how Harry was relevant in the tabloids after losing X Factor
Tumblr media
2011
Jan 30th Anorak News talks 1D X Factor lost and groupies
Tumblr media
Harry is referred to as a womanizer at the age of 16 years old prior to his 17th birthday (this breaks my heart completely)
April 11th Sugarscape continues the topic of Harry's nudity streak on X Factor and inquires about UAN tour

Exciting things were coming into fruition! One Direction hit it off in the UK for their very first tour to promote their very first album Up All Night. Little Harry is living his dream and enjoying every moment of it with his best four mates. A Cheshire bakery boy is now transformed into a international sensation.
The media pushed for Harry to be perceived as a attractive young nudist friendly musician that can seduce men and enjoys women of all ages
Marketing plays the biggest role in a musician's career because it sets the tone for longevity, and Harry was a gold mine for sexual attention. As time goes by Harry's celebrity status elevates and speculation about his personal life becomes more intense and invasive.

i feel like something has shifted. i feel like big things are about to happen. i just hope harry and louis aren’t gonna be negatively affected by whatever is about to happen. i just hope they leave them alone and allow them to have some peace.
liam’s passing broke my heart into a million pieces. his death could’ve been prevented. i will never forgive simon cowell, syco, modest management, sony and others for the trauma they put our boys through.
this trauma caused zayn to have crippling anxiety, an eating disorder and immense mental health problems. if zayn never left 1d, i genuinely believe zayn wouldn’t be here today. he was very sick during the last year and a half that he was in the band and he was very depressed all the time. he had to leave to protect his peace and for the sake of his health. the fact he is still blamed and villainized for leaving is absolutely disgusting. he didn’t perform on stage for years because this industry broke him down and made him feel like he wasn’t good enough. he was targeted by racists constantly. this industry battered him. thankfully he is healing and taking his power back. i’ll always be proud of him and i’ll never stop supporting him.
niall lost his confidence for a while and was made to feel as if he wasn’t good enough. they told him he wasn’t as talented as the others. management would constantly turn off his mic at shows and he was even forced to perform w an injured knee countless times. niall is such a beautiful person inside and out.
louis was constantly tossed to the side and wasn’t given as many solos as the others boys. louis came in the group being so bubbly, carefree and sweet. he was so in love with harry and they had such a beautiful wholesome relationship. but after cakegate simon scared him into being this different person. i personally believed they tried some form of conversion therapy on louis. he changed so drastically after cakegate they made feel as if he wasn’t good enough. after cake gate, simon cowell and management forced louis to not be his amazing self and to alter his entire persona. the real louis is the louis before cakegate and the drastic change in his persona. they tore him from the love of his life and alienated him so much from harry. they hated that louis was gay and that he was in love with harry. they sabotaged his career bc he is in love with harry styles. for some fucked up reason, they think louis is a liability to harry (which he’s not) louis sacrificed his career for years so harry could have his.
harry went through the ringer during 1d. he has been objectified and exploited since he was 16 years old. he was branded as a womanizer. interviewers and some fans would sexually harass him, especially when he was 16-19. they made up stories ab him sleeping w many women and making him look like a womanizing jerk. harry is the most kind and gentle soul in the world. the main thing is that harry fell madly in love with louis. management did whatever it took to alienate them from each other. they caused harry to have crippling anxiety. harry cried after he was done w syco. he said that himself. they can’t stand that harry is gay and they think it’ll ruin his image and brand if he ever chose to come out.
they force harry and louis to stunt bc they can’t stand the thought of harry and louis being a couple. they hate that they are gay men in a heterosexual dominated industry. management couldn’t stand the thought of larry so they did whatever it took to alienate them from each other, separating them for many years publicly. harry, as well as the other boys were forced to perform when they were extremely ill. harry’s vocal chords almost got severely damaged bc they were pushing him too hard.
liam’s alcoholism started when he was in the band. liam himself stated that they would lock them in hotel rooms and that there would be an open bar. he also spoke about how he was depressed at times in the band and felt trapped. also, i will never forgive liam’s team and the people who bullied him until his last days. he deserved so much better.
i genuinely hope this industry gets taken down and my boys get justice. harry, louis, zayn and niall deserve better. liam deserved better. i hope this is the year that everything gets exposed and those responsible for harming my boys are held accountable. i hope they pay for what they’ve done to my boys.
i hope my boys come out on top and they can finally be free from the shackles this industry put on them. harry, louis, zayn and niall i love you boys more than you’ll ever know and i’ll never stop fighting for you.
liam i love you so much. you are deeply missed. i’ll never stop fighting for you❤️
