There is no conspiracy behind Liam’s death, just a man who was struggling in the past few years vulnerable + drugs and drinking led to his demise. RIP 🙏
There is a conspiracy, there’s reports of him getting in a fight with someone before he passed. The cops were called and no one helped, he passed in very suspicious circumstances
But he is the one to blame bro, Liam said he was so fucked up because of being in that band which Simon constantly overworked him and the other bandmates. They were constantly touring, then releasing an album in the same year and going back on tour. It was never ending
I hope more of these celebs get their lawyers on these fools like Jay and Beyonce did because they just get online and say any damn thing. So ignorant.
Most of the artists signed to Simon have a story to tell and it’s not positive. He’s no different from other record execs or labels who take advantage of their artists and then drop them when they’re no longer profitable. The music industry is exploitative and is calling out for class action lawsuits into the contracts they tie their artists to. If it was a normal employer they would have more duty of care for the people under them.

Facts. She also claims Liam was underage when he started drinking - this isn't true as our legal age of drinking is different here in the UK. I wish Empressive did more research before making claims like this.
I only clicked on this for Liam. but that title is so clickbaity and you're too qualified and seasoned to do that. Liam was an addict. there's nothing you can do for an addict until the addict decides to change.
You can not blame Simon for this boy death… one direction have been broken up for years and if you saw the clip with the ceo podcast he literally said they would lock him and the other members in a hotel room because they’re so big that he would start drinking by himself, nobody forced him to do that. This is a tragedy and very sad but blaming Simon for this is not the answer… please don’t lose your integrity just so you can be a internet conspirator like jaguar wright because that woman is crazy… sorry not sorry
None of the bloggers got journalist integrity. That's why they are not journalists but bloggers. It's actually crass and tasteless to always put the blame on someone when somebody famous die. Liam Payne had his own demons since the beggining and they had nothing to do with Simon Cowell who I don't even care for
Ofc no one forces him to do that, but he was still depressed and when ur depressed, you’re not going to make the right choices. You should be blaming the person who originally had that system to lock him in his hotel room and that’s Simon because he overworked them. Like what??
Empressive been lost her integrity. She's just a basic UA-cam blogger. Take everything she says with a grain of salt or as mere entertainment. That's what I do
Exactly, we all learned about diddy and justin bieber, and also boy bands from the past where few of them have said they were touched as kids. So who knows if they were abused as well. Then these kids are offered drugs and alcohol by industry people. Kids! And they grow up with addiction to drugs, alcohol, even sex. Many of them who were abused turn abusers to the next generation of kids
Highly doubt they would ever speak out if they did. In British culture you’re supposed to keep a “stiff upper lip” and not show your emotions. Hence why Liam said he was so good at hiding his pain. Plus it’s not very ‘British’ to talk about “mental health” or “therapy” like it is in the States. It’s a different culture.
Members of fifth harmony and little mix have spoken out about how overworked they were under Syco. They don't care about their artists, only about the money they can make

No one brings on any of there own death he had no one helping him he needed real help but couldn’t talk about it. Harry said in time they’ll all talk and let us no but now is not the right time. IMO Liam was a victim now we no what happens in the industry with these young kids they were only young when they were shipped of to America from the uk what a culture shock I would be in. He also said for there own protection when they just started out they would be brought back to the hotel after a show and locked in till the next day so he said he would sit at the mini bar himself and drink and then before he new it he was an alcoholic and they wouldn’t help him. He went into rehab a couple of times but if there is deep trauma he couldn’t talk about then in his mind taking his life was the only option it’s so so heartbreaking he couldn’t have gotten the proper help so sad for his 7 y/o son and yeah we no he was 31 y/o man we don’t no the full circumstances and in fact it’s got none of anyone’s business except Liams family
He definitely wanted fame and attention since a child and his career fell off once they broke up. Instead of seeking a therapist and help, he stay reckless.
If Simon could be harsh and rude to contestants on American Idol, I can only imagine how much worse he was with people who worked for him under contract 😔
Blaming someone for a choice they took is crazy the music industry is ruthless and about money as much as people need to know behind all the glitter it’s crazy . It’s sad he passed in the manner he did but all them drugs sigh he choose.
Hello?? It all stemmed from when he was in the band and if you know anything about what they went through, in the course of 5 years they released 5 albums and did like 4 and a half tours. They were constantly overworked and never had their freedom because they were always locked inside their hotel rooms after doing shows. Liam said because he was locked inside, there was a lot of minibars and he was so depressed that he started drinking and that’s how his addiction started. He was put through so much at such a young age that you can see why he became so messed up

Ridiculous to try to blame someone for a su1cide. That kid was troubled, addicted, narcissist and possibly a victim of the industry HE CHOSE to pursue.
Liam was begging for attention just before he passed on... He clearly couldn't handle not being as famous as he used to be...Alot goes through that and alot accept that their time is up and move on...
@@micka580 You both are WRONG! You guys clearly know nothing about mental health and addiction. Liam is truly a sweet, kind, pure and talented person. After reading summaries of his ex’s book, it was clear to me that he hated himself. All his issues were internal. All the external things that you guys mentioned, simon cowel, his career, his ex’s book, his former band members those aren’t the real issues.

Didn’t Zayn leave the group due to having issues under Simon? When they were together all those guys suffered from mental health issues especially being so young. It’s still sad to see as a 1D fan😢….
Yesss. He left cause he developed an eating disorder that was just so visibly harmful to himself. He was constantly facing racism and xenophobia during his time in the band and no one defended him, and Simon was constantly overworking him.
Zayn wanted to make R&B/Soul leaning music but the band’s sound had to prop up Harry’s rocker image so Zayn was told no and even said he was told to sing less soulfully on 1D to blend in with the other members. He also said in a recent interview that towards the end he could see the writing on the wall and wanted to get out and be first to drop a solo album.
@breyannab._ Interesting point. Until I read this I couldn't remember the other boys in the group saying anything crazy or bad I should say about Simon. After all he did see something special in them and gave them their big opportunity. I guess some handle the fame better than others. RIP young man.
I feel like she only likes to talk about BW and the men they’re connect to. This story includes no black people so I don’t feel she cares, but the story is too big to ignore. 1D was the band for an entire generation.
I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna blame Simon Cowell on a young man that already had Demons from the very beginning. Liam was always a little off and always the clout chaser of the group…. It’s terrible what happen but his always been this way even before the group
Simon is exactly the one to blame for this u fucking idiot. One direction was signed under Simon’s label and he overworked them constantly to which in the course of 5 years, they released 5 albums and did like 4 and a half world tours. After their shows they would be locked up in their hotel rooms or go straight back to the studio to record. Liam was so depressed from this that he started drinking because those hotels that he was locked in had minibars. This all stemmed from Simon like do ur research
I don’t think she’s blaming Simon entirely. Simon and his company defo contributed to what happened to him because there’s no way a child should be addicted to alcohol under his company’s supervision. They were all failed but it doesn’t remove the fact Liam abused others. RIP though
Katie does have a point, because how does a tragedy like this happen to someone at this level of celebrity status? Where was his manager, where was his team? What was he doing at this hotel? And why wasn’t any one there to help aid this person dealing with mental health issue. Was he allowed to travel alone? Did he not have anyone there to support him?
He was on vacation, and he was there with friends inside the room, and he was also there to renew his American visa. Managers are not gatekeepers. An adult is able to make their own decision with the need of supporters. If he was a teen, sure; however, not and adult.
loads of ppl are upset with Empressive for “blaming Simon” - but at 5:11 Katie Waissel says in a tweet that Simon and his label needs to be investigated for negligence. I know that in the first few mins the video discussed Simon’s moral obligations to the boys and his culpability there, but that’s what the title of this video is about? Edit: at 7:41 Empressive actually makes it clear that she does not think Simon is to blame - so it’s actually all the commenters reaching.
Nobody caused Liam’s passing but Liam. I wish people would stop with the conspiracies. The guy was struggling with addiction for years. Last year he had a kidney infection and he was born with one functioning kidney. The drug addiction didn’t help his physical or mental wellbeing. The hotel staff did what they needed to do to protect themselves and their other customers. I feel bad things had to end the way they did for him but he’s responsible for his own death. Whether he jumped or accidentally fell due to being high, it’s his own doing. Be careful for this type of stuff because these celebrities are suing and I don’t blame them.
Why do we as a society always look for someone to blame? Liam was an adult and unfortunately he made those life decisions which ultimately led to his passing.
I loved their music growing up too. The stats don't lie. They are iconic whether people like it or not. I don't like the Beatles, but I can't deny their influence.🤷♀️🤷♀️
I think laws need to be put in place to protect kids in the industry. There needs to be structure and there needs to be an inspection to ensure this is actually taking place within record companies
Too many people in this industry just happen to throw themselves out the hotel windows/balconies. Just like that. Out of nowhere. Very eerie and creepy circumstances to die in. I don’t believe his death was as black and white as the media reports.
If you are responsible for getting someone under age addicted to drugs and alcohol, then you should be held responsible if something happens from the addiction even when they are an adult
I think it's very dangerous to spread accusations against someone without any proof. We don't know the full story and the media is piecing things together to their own liking. The truth is we may never know what really happened, but to blame Simon Cowell is wrong, and highly insensitive to the tragedy that just occurred. Let's focus on praying for Liam Payne's lost soul and the family and loved ones that now grieve him...
This is true, but the parental permission is only acceptable during a meal - so if the child isn’t eating and in the company of their parents, they can’t legally be served alcohol. And then once you’re over 18, if you don’t look visibly over 25 years old then you have to provide ID during the sale if asked. I know nobody asked but typing takes effort so I’m definitely posting this now sorry 😂
This is ridiculous. This poor man had a severe addiction and mental health issues. Also they are from the UK, the age of drinking is much younger, I think it’s 13/14 years old? Let this young man rest in peace and stop spreading misinformation about things for clicks. SMH
Sorry but are all the boys on one direction orphans ? Why is the care placed on Simon as if these boys don’t have parents who should be concerned with their kids
Damn you guys are so naive in this comment section. Knowing yall, yall all believe Whitney Houston just offed herself because of her AdDicTioN. These people do wicked things like offing these artists and then blame it on the artists’ “addiction” because they know the fans will fall for it so easily. Bobby browns SISTER said Whitney had brusies and defensive wounds ALL OVER HER BODY. She did not just die bc of some drug$. She was offed. Prince was another one… but I digress. Now I’m not saying Simon did this or anything. But you guys CANNOT just rule this possibility out. Empressive isn’t even saying he did it. She is just speaking about what the INTERNET is saying. And if you guys can’t look past a title and clean the earwax out of your ears and actually listen to what empressive said in this video then that’s on you guys. She herself did not accuse Simon of anything directly. She spoke on the accusations already out there. There are WICKED WICKED things going on in this world right now. If you guys don’t put your thinking caps on, the media will feed you poison disguised as baby food on a spoon and you guys will gladly eat it.
Okay thank the Lord because I thought I was going crazy. The title is clearly referring to what’s being said online about Simon on twitter etc, the only thing Empressive should be ‘reaching’ for is popcorn while she scrolls all her unhinged comments 🤦🏼♀️
@@Lucina.. 😂😂 that last comment. Lmao but fr. I can’t believe in the age of diddy people are still coming to the defense of the media! Like just because that’s what they REPORTED does not mean it’s the truth little dum a$$es. Damn. I can’t believe ppl are still so dumb. That’s why this govt gonna take us over expeditiously because we just let them get away with everything. They can feed us any old thing. Oh nan0 technology is great for you.

Thanks, 🤝 I can’t rest a little easier now 😅
4:55 in what world am I going to rally for celebrities making 6 figures or more to have better work conditions than 95% of the rest of the population. I know the industry is not a great place but imagine all of us being able to sue my employer for causing me emotional distress, stress, anxiety, and missing out on quality time with my family. That’s not their responsibility, YOU, YOURSELF have to make choices to be healthy. It’s called adulthood
honestly, maya has lawyer parents, they should’ve represented her for slander and defamation because to accuse liam of an abtn when he has Bear with cheryl. he could’ve easily told cheryl to get one.
I’m so tired of people blaming somebody’s death on somebody else. It’s kind of like when Macklemore died people blamed Ariana Grande like dude it’s just not even right. How would you feel if you got blamed for someone’s death?
Dude, that clickbait is off-putting and unnecessary at this point. There is actual evidence of Simon saying the only regret he has is not owning the 1D brand to protect them better...
If I don't want to study for 10 years straight then every day after that while working long hours.... I won't make my goal "to be a brain surgeon" do yall get it? Probably not.... People go into this life because they want to live this life. Their end is their end. It's nobody's job to "protect em"
It is because 1D members were underage when they started and exposed to the negatives of the industry. It's not 100% Simon Cowell's fault or responsibility, but when young artists are under your care it is your responsibility to give proper mentorship. It is the responsibility of an employer to make ensure their employee's well-being on the job. It doesn't matter if you're a celebrity or healthcare worker. Of course people have to take personal responsibility outside of work and accept hardships that come with any job. However, our society has become too accustomed to employers & institutions profiting off of our labor and not giving AF about us.
Simon loved these boys and always looked out for them. I do believe they experienced some form of abuse purely because they’re in the entertainment industry but remember this: British Hollywood is very different from American Hollywood. If anyone is responsible, it definitely isn’t Simon. It could very well be that he was just depressed and coped with drugs and unfortunately died as a result.
And why was he depressed???? Because fucking Simon locked him in his hotel room after overworking him and he felt like he had no other way to cope but to drink. See how it all stems from SIMONNN?? Open up the schools I beg
@@nevslay4756but was Simon there? Was Simon giving him drugs? One Direction broke up years ago and they don’t even work with Simon like that. How on earth is Simon connected? If anything, I’d blame his new record label and that shady management team of his
@@tannaha7999how on earth?? Did u watch the video?? He had a system where after performing shows, they would be immediately locked in their hotel rooms. Yes Simon didn’t force Liam to drink but Liam was so depressed and had many other issues that he coped with the only thing he basically had in that hotel room. And even after Simon never really cared to help Liam get better. Liam was so obviously struggling. Simon also has a reputation of doing this to many many other artists under his label where he’s treated them so horribly that they develop their own problems
Good for them on keeping their name. I definitely always wondered about that cause back then 1D merch was literally everywhere. I've never liked simon anyway, the way he talks to people infuriates me. He definitely played a hand at Liams demise by not protecting them and leaving them open to exposure as kids along with the internet bullies. Rip Liam❤❤
He was struggling with drug abuse and was getting exposed for sending dms to young 1d fans, also for being toxic af to her ex, and he was also cut off from his label recently, let's not put all the blame on Simon.
None of us liked Simon but he has a heart. When fantasia almost lost her home he paid everything. Trauma is a lot but sometimes you have to get the help to overcome it. Simon is not at fault. When singers fall down it’s not the record label or other celebrities
Simon has had a history of treating individual stars like crap but treating the groups as a whole like darlings. He’s had quite a reputation of mishandling careers like Leona Lewis and Alexander Burke. Also, unpopular opinion: Liam may have offed himself but maybe he was “pushed” to get to that point. He’s known a lot of dark secrets especially in light of the Diddler’s arrest. But Simon is definitely shrewd when it comes to how he manages his artists on his label 🤷🏽♂️
OK, I watch you on a constant day-to-day basis for updates with drama and everything like that, but for you to blatantly blame somebody? For this boys death… Is crazy.
Smdh RIP 🙏 young Man... I don't think this is Simon fault frist we have to stop blaming everyone for this kids and start blaming there Parents 🙄 where was his mom and dad why wasn't his Parents around that's the question fuck the label where are the Parents why wasn't his mom stopping him from drinking they a young I would never let my young child do anything without me they will be by my side let's start blaming there Parents for not being Parents smdh
Honestly I feel like ppl don’t want to be accountable for anything! One Direction is a business for Simon! He was in for the cash! There was no noble reason for him to create the group and he succeeded!
I think Maya releasing her book at the time that she did was a correct time. Of course, she, or anyone else, wouldn't be able to fully predict that this would have happened. But, say that she released her book after his passing? People would have considered it as a tacky move, slandering the dead where Liam wouldn't be able to defend himself. Plus, she had every right to tell her truth. Unfortunately, it wasn't released earlier. But as an author myself, I know that it takes time to release your book. My condolences to Liam's family and friends, I support Maya
I've been through this. Stress management was my weakness. I don't blame Simon. As much as my work was stressful and the company didn't care, I had an alcohol addiction before I got three job. I held myself accountable and decided to give my life to Jesus so he can help me with my stress anxiety and depression. Jesus saved me from myself. I do however believe that mental health is supposed to prioritized in companies etc. And days off taken because with me I felt like I wasn't getting a break. I give glory to God that I overcame that 😢 I was left with no money and still God makes sure I eat everyday. No rehab just God,Jesus, the Holy spirit and my Bible. I'm grateful for my family but sometimes they ask me if I don't want just a little drink and I don't understand why they don't see that it destroyed me😢 that's the frustrating part but God I'd helping me to not be angry about it. They just want to have fun but I want to stay alive. I'm gonna keep fighting as long as Jesus is with me.
Unfortunately what happened to them is probably no different from what we learned from N’Sync and Backstreet Boys and so many other boy band groups that spoke up about the dark side of their success.
I also hope we’re not forgetting that Liam was known to abusive, in particular towards his ex fiancé. She stated that he would threaten suicide multiple times,a long w being emotionally and physically abusive. Not saying that ppl can’t grieve, but as a former directioner myself, we have to acknowledge that Liam was extremely volatile on his own. We can’t blame Simon in those instances although he is a despicable person
Firstly I’m British and the legal age of drinking there is 18 not 21 as it is in America. Also Liam was a grown ass man when he passed he was 31. One direction changed his life. To blame Simon on Liam passing is reaching. In the podcast Liam blamed himself not Simon. He came from a good family. He had support. This is a tragedy nothing more.
I will never be fond of Simon Cowell. He FOILED and mismanaged so many careers. He had no interest in building career artists, only short term profits. I think a lot of music companies executives don’t respect him. He *especially did his Black artists dirty.* I’ll never forgive how he mismanaged Leona Lewis’s career (even if they’re on good terms now), Rebecca Ferguson, Alexandra Burke, Fleur East…the list goes on. These black women could’ve have been global stars with much longer music careers, if he ever understood how to manage and market black artists. Thank God Labrinth had too much creativity to be held back by Simon. Simon definitely overworked the band. But the band had been split from years. Simon’s not to blame. Sidebar: Seeing Katie Waissel’s face was a BLAST from the past. 🫢 Bringing back all those childhood memories watching The X Factor.
Yall her title is listed as a question! Not a statement. Also it's not only Simon people are saying is behind it they saying Diddy people behind it too and keep showing different videos of him at 16 years old and up exposing what be happening at the Diddy parties over and over again. He also got a message on his laptop that made him destroy his laptop before he was pushed... I mean before he jumped off that balcony.
She not putting the blame on Simon; she saying others are; also in her words she said probably been depressed and have other issues ; Liam just someone who has very dark issues but RIP to Liam Payne ❤
I know Simon only cares about money. I still remember when 1D came out with their movie and did pre sales, sold out. They made bank. They later came out with a directors cut that had 15-40 extra minutes of footage and they sold that version less than a month after the original movie. The cash grab move was incredibly obvious. I’m not saying Simon is responsible for Liam’s death; I’m just saying for me it seems clear that Simon prioritized money.
There is no conspiracy behind Liam’s death, just a man who was struggling in the past few years vulnerable + drugs and drinking led to his demise. RIP 🙏
There is a conspiracy, there’s reports of him getting in a fight with someone before he passed. The cops were called and no one helped, he passed in very suspicious circumstances
Thank you! People can be so gullible.
blaming everything on simon is a huge reach.....
Well said.
A huge reach and deflection as well. I have to agree 💯
And too, we cannot change what we don't acknowledge. Per my dad in my head, Dr. Phil 😌
But he is the one to blame bro, Liam said he was so fucked up because of being in that band which Simon constantly overworked him and the other bandmates. They were constantly touring, then releasing an album in the same year and going back on tour. It was never ending
Not a reach
Simon ain’t got nun to do with that boy’s death.
Right? Messy
I hope more of these celebs get their lawyers on these fools like Jay and Beyonce did because they just get online and say any damn thing. So ignorant.
Click bait 🪤
Most of the artists signed to Simon have a story to tell and it’s not positive. He’s no different from other record execs or labels who take advantage of their artists and then drop them when they’re no longer profitable.
The music industry is exploitative and is calling out for class action lawsuits into the contracts they tie their artists to. If it was a normal employer they would have more duty of care for the people under them.
They always looking for someone to blame. It's about the decisions you make in life. We have all been tempted in our youth.
Simon didn't make that man do cocaine and crack at the same damn time

Blaming someone for a choice they took is crazy the music industry is ruthless and about money as much as people need to know behind all the glitter it’s crazy . It’s sad he passed in the manner he did but all them drugs sigh he choose.
Hello?? It all stemmed from when he was in the band and if you know anything about what they went through, in the course of 5 years they released 5 albums and did like 4 and a half tours. They were constantly overworked and never had their freedom because they were always locked inside their hotel rooms after doing shows. Liam said because he was locked inside, there was a lot of minibars and he was so depressed that he started drinking and that’s how his addiction started. He was put through so much at such a young age that you can see why he became so messed up
@nevslay4756 were u there? U dnt know shiii
@@nevslay4756he's a grown a** man. He made those decisions. Plenty of people had worst childhoods.
Yall Empressive has been lost her integrity. She's just a basic UA-cam blogger. Take everything she says with a grain of salt or as mere entertainment. That's what I do
She’ll entertain conspiracy theories until it comes to Beyoncé
She’s in her Tasha K era 😂
Ridiculous to try to blame someone for a su1cide. That kid was troubled, addicted, narcissist and possibly a victim of the industry HE CHOSE to pursue.
Liam was begging for attention just before he passed on... He clearly couldn't handle not being as famous as he used to be...Alot goes through that and alot accept that their time is up and move on...
@@micka580 You both are WRONG! You guys clearly know nothing about mental health and addiction. Liam is truly a sweet, kind, pure and talented person. After reading summaries of his ex’s book, it was clear to me that he hated himself. All his issues were internal. All the external things that you guys mentioned, simon cowel, his career, his ex’s book, his former band members those aren’t the real issues.

Didn’t Zayn leave the group due to having issues under Simon? When they were together all those guys suffered from mental health issues especially being so young. It’s still sad to see as a 1D fan😢….
Yesss. He left cause he developed an eating disorder that was just so visibly harmful to himself. He was constantly facing racism and xenophobia during his time in the band and no one defended him, and Simon was constantly overworking him.
Zayn wanted to make R&B/Soul leaning music but the band’s sound had to prop up Harry’s rocker image so Zayn was told no and even said he was told to sing less soulfully on 1D to blend in with the other members. He also said in a recent interview that towards the end he could see the writing on the wall and wanted to get out and be first to drop a solo album.
@@nevslay4756 multiple members in one direction defended him
@breyannab._ Interesting point. Until I read this I couldn't remember the other boys in the group saying anything crazy or bad I should say about Simon. After all he did see something special in them and gave them their big opportunity. I guess some handle the fame better than others. RIP young man.
@@Recartloadedclose! They never actually publicly defended him. Hope this helps!❤️
not used to seeing the caucasian community being talked about. i almost thought you were hacked. 😂
rip to liam payne.
😂😂😂 stap it
Ohh wow
I feel like she only likes to talk about BW and the men they’re connect to. This story includes no black people so I don’t feel she cares, but the story is too big to ignore. 1D was the band for an entire generation.
Why was I thinking this 😂
She clearly wants to talk wild about them. Simon is about money, he’s not a Diddy, it’s so clear to see.
RIP Liam Payne
He was just a depressed guy,wish he would have gotten real help beforr all this transpired. He will be missed
I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna blame Simon Cowell on a young man that already had Demons from the very beginning. Liam was always a little off and always the clout chaser of the group…. It’s terrible what happen but his always been this way even before the group
How was Liam ALWAYS off?
Even before the group?? The band started from X factor and he wasn’t known before that like gtfo😭😭
Simon is exactly the one to blame for this u fucking idiot. One direction was signed under Simon’s label and he overworked them constantly to which in the course of 5 years, they released 5 albums and did like 4 and a half world tours. After their shows they would be locked up in their hotel rooms or go straight back to the studio to record. Liam was so depressed from this that he started drinking because those hotels that he was locked in had minibars. This all stemmed from Simon like do ur research
@@nevslay4756 actually my sister knew him while he was playing at the Wolverhampton Athletics Club soooo yeah you should GTFO
That was Liam’s 2nd time on XFactor. You clearly have no clue about who he was, he was always trying to be a star/songer/theatre actor.
I don’t think she’s blaming Simon entirely. Simon and his company defo contributed to what happened to him because there’s no way a child should be addicted to alcohol under his company’s supervision. They were all failed but it doesn’t remove the fact Liam abused others. RIP though
Be serious, How can Simon be blamed for Liam's choices?? He was a grown man.
Katie does have a point, because how does a tragedy like this happen to someone at this level of celebrity status? Where was his manager, where was his team? What was he doing at this hotel? And why wasn’t any one there to help aid this person dealing with mental health issue. Was he allowed to travel alone? Did he not have anyone there to support him?
Are u serious right now? This is a grown ass adult who can do whatever he pleases...this comment is so ridiculous
He’s not the first nor the last celebrity to die from using substances
He was being dropped allegedly
He was on vacation, and he was there with friends inside the room, and he was also there to renew his American visa. Managers are not gatekeepers. An adult is able to make their own decision with the need of supporters. If he was a teen, sure; however, not and adult.
loads of ppl are upset with Empressive for “blaming Simon” - but at 5:11 Katie Waissel says in a tweet that Simon and his label needs to be investigated for negligence. I know that in the first few mins the video discussed Simon’s moral obligations to the boys and his culpability there, but that’s what the title of this video is about? Edit: at 7:41 Empressive actually makes it clear that she does not think Simon is to blame - so it’s actually all the commenters reaching.
How are yall going to call Simon negligent and not call the boy himself negligent for putting his own life at risk?
@@MBCrusin I’m not calling Simon negligent though and neither is Empressive.
Nobody caused Liam’s passing but Liam. I wish people would stop with the conspiracies. The guy was struggling with addiction for years. Last year he had a kidney infection and he was born with one functioning kidney. The drug addiction didn’t help his physical or mental wellbeing. The hotel staff did what they needed to do to protect themselves and their other customers. I feel bad things had to end the way they did for him but he’s responsible for his own death. Whether he jumped or accidentally fell due to being high, it’s his own doing. Be careful for this type of stuff because these celebrities are suing and I don’t blame them.
Why do we as a society always look for someone to blame? Liam was an adult and unfortunately he made those life decisions which ultimately led to his passing.
Say what ya want bout one direction but when they first came out they drop nun but banger. Rip Liam Payne
Are you 19/20? They didn’t drop bangers. Do you know what that term means? It’s not for bands like them.
I loved their music growing up too. The stats don't lie. They are iconic whether people like it or not. I don't like the Beatles, but I can't deny their influence.🤷♀️🤷♀️
I think laws need to be put in place to protect kids in the industry. There needs to be structure and there needs to be an inspection to ensure this is actually taking place within record companies
Why would you do that for click bate .. thats disappointing af .. you wanna tarnish a man's name on ur stupid channel for likes and views ..
Too many people in this industry just happen to throw themselves out the hotel windows/balconies. Just like that. Out of nowhere. Very eerie and creepy circumstances to die in. I don’t believe his death was as black and white as the media reports.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. It's way too many celebrities falling from hotel rooms. Sophie, lina Morgana, that famous model etc.
third floor? His bodies reflexes didn’t react at all. He could have survived third floor
3rd floor is not that high...I was shocked that he died😔
Blaming Simon is a huge reach
If you are responsible for getting someone under age addicted to drugs and alcohol, then you should be held responsible if something happens from the addiction even when they are an adult
Let’s not forget how Leona Lewis career went nowhere after parting ways with Simon. 🤷🏾♀️
Not Neal, its NIAL...KNIGH-OHL
Im devastated! My beautiful sweet Liam!💔💔💔
I think it's very dangerous to spread accusations against someone without any proof. We don't know the full story and the media is piecing things together to their own liking. The truth is we may never know what really happened, but to blame Simon Cowell is wrong, and highly insensitive to the tragedy that just occurred. Let's focus on praying for Liam Payne's lost soul and the family and loved ones that now grieve him...
Liam was 16 when 1D started, in the UK the legal drinking age is 18, or 16 with parental permission
This is true, but the parental permission is only acceptable during a meal - so if the child isn’t eating and in the company of their parents, they can’t legally be served alcohol. And then once you’re over 18, if you don’t look visibly over 25 years old then you have to provide ID during the sale if asked. I know nobody asked but typing takes effort so I’m definitely posting this now sorry 😂
This is ridiculous. This poor man had a severe addiction and mental health issues. Also they are from the UK, the age of drinking is much younger, I think it’s 13/14 years old?
Let this young man rest in peace and stop spreading misinformation about things for clicks. SMH
Sorry but are all the boys on one direction orphans ?
Why is the care placed on Simon as if these boys don’t have parents who should be concerned with their kids
RIP Liam.. what makes you beautiful forever be in my heart and playlist.. rest well.. 🎈💙🎈 west coast love u.. 🎈
Liam is an adult, he is responsible for his own well being. Blame, blame, blame. That is a big grown man
The fans will always look for somebody else to blame, Mac Miller fans tried to blame his passing on Ariana, nobody should be surprised.
@nameisamine I not surprised, they just stupid.
Damn you guys are so naive in this comment section. Knowing yall, yall all believe Whitney Houston just offed herself because of her AdDicTioN. These people do wicked things like offing these artists and then blame it on the artists’ “addiction” because they know the fans will fall for it so easily. Bobby browns SISTER said Whitney had brusies and defensive wounds ALL OVER HER BODY. She did not just die bc of some drug$. She was offed. Prince was another one… but I digress.
Now I’m not saying Simon did this or anything. But you guys CANNOT just rule this possibility out. Empressive isn’t even saying he did it. She is just speaking about what the INTERNET is saying. And if you guys can’t look past a title and clean the earwax out of your ears and actually listen to what empressive said in this video then that’s on you guys. She herself did not accuse Simon of anything directly. She spoke on the accusations already out there.
There are WICKED WICKED things going on in this world right now. If you guys don’t put your thinking caps on, the media will feed you poison disguised as baby food on a spoon and you guys will gladly eat it.
Okay thank the Lord because I thought I was going crazy. The title is clearly referring to what’s being said online about Simon on twitter etc, the only thing Empressive should be ‘reaching’ for is popcorn while she scrolls all her unhinged comments 🤦🏼♀️
@@Lucina.. 😂😂 that last comment. Lmao but fr. I can’t believe in the age of diddy people are still coming to the defense of the media!
Like just because that’s what they REPORTED does not mean it’s the truth little dum a$$es. Damn. I can’t believe ppl are still so dumb. That’s why this govt gonna take us over expeditiously because we just let them get away with everything. They can feed us any old thing. Oh nan0 technology is great for you. Oh gmo L@B grown meat is awesome. 0ne world order phenomenal.
I veered a little bit but this all ties in. Anywho I’m glad to have encountered someone else with a brain cell in these comments. Thanks, 🤝 I can’t rest a little easier now 😅

Thank YOU. Great comment.
@@KR-rn8lh nope I saw it 😁 and I’m grinning now irl, I agree entirely and I’m very glad to know there are functional humans online 😂
Empressive change the title of the video because simon has nothibg to do with it
He has everything to do with it.
I don't buy any of it!! That young man was killed PERIOD!! He knew toooo much smh
4:55 in what world am I going to rally for celebrities making 6 figures or more to have better work conditions than 95% of the rest of the population. I know the industry is not a great place but imagine all of us being able to sue my employer for causing me emotional distress, stress, anxiety, and missing out on quality time with my family. That’s not their responsibility, YOU, YOURSELF have to make choices to be healthy. It’s called adulthood
While everyone is slamming the title, no one is asking HOW that child got a hold of alcohol in the first place??????
honestly, maya has lawyer parents, they should’ve represented her for slander and defamation because to accuse liam of an abtn when he has Bear with cheryl. he could’ve easily told cheryl to get one.
You guys are reaching Liam is a grown ass man
Was dear, was
What happened to Liam is very sad.But blaming simon is wrong
I agree
No its not
Can’t blame the Ex but can blame Simon? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m so tired of people blaming somebody’s death on somebody else. It’s kind of like when Macklemore died people blamed Ariana Grande like dude it’s just not even right. How would you feel if you got blamed for someone’s death?
u mean mac miller?
@@nafeeyk3340 I was thinking nobody told me Macklemore died 😂😂😂
People need to stop blaming someone else. People don't want to acknowledge the fact that Liam had so many battles. RIP Liam🙏❤️
This is lowkey turning into a conspiracy theory page lol
Dude, that clickbait is off-putting and unnecessary at this point.
There is actual evidence of Simon saying the only regret he has is not owning the 1D brand to protect them better...
If I don't want to study for 10 years straight then every day after that while working long hours.... I won't make my goal "to be a brain surgeon" do yall get it? Probably not....
People go into this life because they want to live this life. Their end is their end. It's nobody's job to "protect em"
It is because 1D members were underage when they started and exposed to the negatives of the industry. It's not 100% Simon Cowell's fault or responsibility, but when young artists are under your care it is your responsibility to give proper mentorship.
It is the responsibility of an employer to make ensure their employee's well-being on the job. It doesn't matter if you're a celebrity or healthcare worker. Of course people have to take personal responsibility outside of work and accept hardships that come with any job. However, our society has become too accustomed to employers & institutions profiting off of our labor and not giving AF about us.
Simon loved these boys and always looked out for them. I do believe they experienced some form of abuse purely because they’re in the entertainment industry but remember this: British Hollywood is very different from American Hollywood. If anyone is responsible, it definitely isn’t Simon. It could very well be that he was just depressed and coped with drugs and unfortunately died as a result.
If anyone is responsible IT IS SIMON HELLO😭 dpmo
And why was he depressed???? Because fucking Simon locked him in his hotel room after overworking him and he felt like he had no other way to cope but to drink. See how it all stems from SIMONNN?? Open up the schools I beg
@@nevslay4756but was Simon there? Was Simon giving him drugs? One Direction broke up years ago and they don’t even work with Simon like that. How on earth is Simon connected? If anything, I’d blame his new record label and that shady management team of his
@@tannaha7999how on earth?? Did u watch the video?? He had a system where after performing shows, they would be immediately locked in their hotel rooms. Yes Simon didn’t force Liam to drink but Liam was so depressed and had many other issues that he coped with the only thing he basically had in that hotel room. And even after Simon never really cared to help Liam get better. Liam was so obviously struggling. Simon also has a reputation of doing this to many many other artists under his label where he’s treated them so horribly that they develop their own problems
@@tannaha7999what new record label?? He was dropped by his record label lmfao goodbye
These band groups are a hot mess. I mean it's always suicide, drugs, heavy mental problems always from the fall of fame. Just a mess
NSYNC?
Backstreet Boys?
Too much abuse goes on behind closed doors.
Good for them on keeping their name. I definitely always wondered about that cause back then 1D merch was literally everywhere. I've never liked simon anyway, the way he talks to people infuriates me. He definitely played a hand at Liams demise by not protecting them and leaving them open to exposure as kids along with the internet bullies. Rip Liam❤❤
I'm so sad about this :(
He was struggling with drug abuse and was getting exposed for sending dms to young 1d fans, also for being toxic af to her ex, and he was also cut off from his label recently, let's not put all the blame on Simon.
It’s 4:59am and you dropped this while I’m at work 😊 great way to end my shift ❤️
why am i awake 😫
None of us liked Simon but he has a heart. When fantasia almost lost her home he paid everything. Trauma is a lot but sometimes you have to get the help to overcome it. Simon is not at fault. When singers fall down it’s not the record label or other celebrities
Simon has had a history of treating individual stars like crap but treating the groups as a whole like darlings. He’s had quite a reputation of mishandling careers like Leona Lewis and Alexander Burke. Also, unpopular opinion: Liam may have offed himself but maybe he was “pushed” to get to that point. He’s known a lot of dark secrets especially in light of the Diddler’s arrest. But Simon is definitely shrewd when it comes to how he manages his artists on his label 🤷🏽♂️
The ex’s tell all also may have been the final straw that led to his demise. This is just a sad situation all around 😢
I swear it's always everyone else's fault when it comes to yt people. Dude was a grown ass man.
Surprised this came from this channel
OK, I watch you on a constant day-to-day basis for updates with drama and everything like that, but for you to blatantly blame somebody? For this boys death… Is crazy.
Did y’all hear that the president of Argentina tweeted “I’m not on the balcony” around the same time of Liam’s deletion
Love this channel 💯
Why is everyone being blamed for this man's death? His gf, Diddy, now Simon...sheesh. Smh.
Smdh RIP 🙏 young Man... I don't think this is Simon fault frist we have to stop blaming everyone for this kids and start blaming there Parents 🙄 where was his mom and dad why wasn't his Parents around that's the question fuck the label where are the Parents why wasn't his mom stopping him from drinking they a young I would never let my young child do anything without me they will be by my side let's start blaming there Parents for not being Parents smdh
Totally agree with you.
EXACTLY.... My thoughts are always WHERE WERE THE PARENTS
I believe that somebody touch that boy from the music industry.
Yes, a lot trauma and abuse goes on behind closed doors in Hellyweird.
Wait. How is Simon Cowell the cause of Liam's death?
Honestly I feel like ppl don’t want to be accountable for anything! One Direction is a business for Simon! He was in for the cash! There was no noble reason for him to create the group and he succeeded!
Of course Simon only cared about the money. That’s literally his job. That is why no underage person should ever be part of this nasty industry.
I learned about toosie from Jaguar wright.
I think Maya releasing her book at the time that she did was a correct time. Of course, she, or anyone else, wouldn't be able to fully predict that this would have happened. But, say that she released her book after his passing? People would have considered it as a tacky move, slandering the dead where Liam wouldn't be able to defend himself.
Plus, she had every right to tell her truth. Unfortunately, it wasn't released earlier. But as an author myself, I know that it takes time to release your book. My condolences to Liam's family and friends, I support Maya
If u have suicide thoughts dont tell anybody or drug addiction because they say addicts are the easiest to kill
I've been through this. Stress management was my weakness. I don't blame Simon. As much as my work was stressful and the company didn't care, I had an alcohol addiction before I got three job. I held myself accountable and decided to give my life to Jesus so he can help me with my stress anxiety and depression. Jesus saved me from myself. I do however believe that mental health is supposed to prioritized in companies etc. And days off taken because with me I felt like I wasn't getting a break. I give glory to God that I overcame that 😢 I was left with no money and still God makes sure I eat everyday. No rehab just God,Jesus, the Holy spirit and my Bible. I'm grateful for my family but sometimes they ask me if I don't want just a little drink and I don't understand why they don't see that it destroyed me😢 that's the frustrating part but God I'd helping me to not be angry about it. They just want to have fun but I want to stay alive. I'm gonna keep fighting as long as Jesus is with me.
Girl why did u think this was a good vid to upload
Y’all just be saying anything 🤦♀️
Simon is not his father so stop making things up girl
Unfortunately what happened to them is probably no different from what we learned from N’Sync and Backstreet Boys and so many other boy band groups that spoke up about the dark side of their success.
He had issues that had little to do with Simon. Very tragic so young😢
These artists are adults. They make their own decisions. Prayers to Liam’s family.❤
Mother where have you been😢
People are blaming everyone but Liam for his own death.
Its sad but lets be real.
I also hope we’re not forgetting that Liam was known to abusive, in particular towards his ex fiancé. She stated that he would threaten suicide multiple times,a long w being emotionally and physically abusive. Not saying that ppl can’t grieve, but as a former directioner myself, we have to acknowledge that Liam was extremely volatile on his own. We can’t blame Simon in those instances although he is a despicable person
Firstly I’m British and the legal age of drinking there is 18 not 21 as it is in America. Also Liam was a grown ass man when he passed he was 31. One direction changed his life. To blame Simon on Liam passing is reaching. In the podcast Liam blamed himself not Simon. He came from a good family. He had support. This is a tragedy nothing more.
Unless everything is confirmed, we can’t assume Simon is behind this
Drinking age in the UK is 18. 16 if you accompanied by an adult, so staying in a room with alcohol would not be weird.
I will never be fond of Simon Cowell. He FOILED and mismanaged so many careers. He had no interest in building career artists, only short term profits. I think a lot of music companies executives don’t respect him. He *especially did his Black artists dirty.* I’ll never forgive how he mismanaged Leona Lewis’s career (even if they’re on good terms now), Rebecca Ferguson, Alexandra Burke, Fleur East…the list goes on. These black women could’ve have been global stars with much longer music careers, if he ever understood how to manage and market black artists. Thank God Labrinth had too much creativity to be held back by Simon.
Simon definitely overworked the band. But the band had been split from years. Simon’s not to blame.
Sidebar: Seeing Katie Waissel’s face was a BLAST from the past. 🫢 Bringing back all those childhood memories watching The X Factor.
Yall her title is listed as a question! Not a statement. Also it's not only Simon people are saying is behind it they saying Diddy people behind it too and keep showing different videos of him at 16 years old and up exposing what be happening at the Diddy parties over and over again. He also got a message on his laptop that made him destroy his laptop before he was pushed... I mean before he jumped off that balcony.
She not putting the blame on Simon; she saying others are; also in her words she said probably been depressed and have other issues ; Liam just someone who has very dark issues but RIP to Liam Payne ❤
Most employers only care about that $$ & what you can provide for them🤷🏽♀️....#thatsit#
I know Simon only cares about money. I still remember when 1D came out with their movie and did pre sales, sold out. They made bank. They later came out with a directors cut that had 15-40 extra minutes of footage and they sold that version less than a month after the original movie. The cash grab move was incredibly obvious. I’m not saying Simon is responsible for Liam’s death; I’m just saying for me it seems clear that Simon prioritized money.
