Liam Payne has had enough of romantic speculations between him and female members of his team.
The “Strip That Down” singer noticed a Daily Mail article about him and a “mystery girl” and went on to slam the press for its write-ups on him and the women around him.
Payne, 25, tweeted on Sunday, Oct. 21: “My team is full of talented, smart professional women. I find it wrong that they are reduced to being linked to me romantically in the press just for simply standing next to me.”
“Isn’t it time we treat women with a bit more respect?”
“So far the press have done this with every female member of my staff,” he said. “It’s demeaning some are in relationships and it complicates [their] work environment when they do this to them… I think it stops here.”
