Fans of Liam Payne are furious as the star's grieving father is hit with legal action in the wake of his son's death.
Geoff Payne, the dad of the late One Direction singer, has been named in a US defamation lawsuit by the singerās friend Roger Nores, whose name has come up several times during the investigation into Liam's death.
The 31-year-old British musician died from "polytrauma", meaning multiple traumatic injuries, after he fell from a third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires in October, a UK inquest opening heard earlier this month.
Five people were later charged over his death, including Mr Nores who was accused of manslaughter, with Argentinian prosecutors claiming he "abandoned" the singer and failed in his duty of care responsibilities.

The contested statements include allegations that Payne was in the care of Mr Nores and Payneās girlfriend Kate Cassidy "due to his addictions", according to the lawsuit.
However, the court documents claim Mr Noresā relationship with the late singer was misrepresented, noting the pair had a "dear mutual friendship" but insisted he "never had a legal duty of care" towards him. Mr Nores lawsuit has sparked a furious reaction on social media, with many fans of Liam shocked he would add to a grieving father's distress just months after his son's death.
"#JusticeForLiam #westandwithgeoffpayne. The whole world can see the type of person that Roger is. To sue the grieving father of a supposed friend!! We will support Geoff all the way," one fan wrote on Twitter (X) on Friday. Another fumed: "what a piece of sh** you have to be to sue the grieving father of your dead friend because of your damaged ego. Liam was so good, how horrible that everyone around him was so fake and greedy. wtf."
"Roger has to be pretty shameless to sue a grieving father. He's making Geoff Payne look like a careless father who didn't care about his son's health. This is inconceivable," a third wrote, with another adding: "Oh Liam, I am so sorry that such a disgusting person has come into your life. Please take care of your family as best you can. We will continue to fight for you & your family ā even if it's the last thing I do, I promise you that. We will stand by you & your family until the end!"
"Liam was an independent adult person who made all his own decisions," the lawsuit stated, adding Mr Nores was ānever the caretaker of Liamā. Mr Nores claimed the statements, which were shared with the media, had an "adverse impact" on his reputation of "mega proportions with extensive damages".
The lawsuit also stated that "net financial proceeds" from the legal action will be donated to the late singerās son Bear, whom he shared with Girls Aloud star Cheryl. Representatives for Mr Payne and Mr Nores have previously been contacted for comment.
Liamās funeral in November in Buckinghamshire was attended by fellow One Direction stars Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson, along with his family and friends. After his band went on hiatus he launched a solo career, releasing his debut solo album LP1 in December 2019, which included the songs Polaroid and Strip That Down featuring Quavo, and the track For You with Rita Ora.
The inquest into Liam's death in the UK has been adjourned until a pre-inquest review on November 6. He is survived by his son Bear Payne.
