part eight: belfast
1d never cancelled a single show before belfast. they performed throwing up, huffing from inhalers, with broken limbs. suddenly, liam has explosive shit and they cancel the show at 730 pm belfast time.
before announcement, fans speculated a cancellation, bc the bears were missin
before announcement, fans speculated a cancellation, bc the bears were missin
at 730 pm on the day of belfast show, this article drops and is immediately removed. remember, after this all questions about belfast are blacklisted along with babygate
we think this is the show where the boys found out babygate was going to continue and they walked out on the event. louis then dropped the mv to perfect and tweets lyrics to home.
INCONSISTENCIES
-there is no paternity test. no paternity test was ever done.
-modest would have pat tests in their image clauses. an oopsie baby is a nightmare for a clean-cut boyband
(remember, this is the modest that shut down the weed video, etc)

-L and B never went to court. we would have records. to go to court you need a paternity test, which again we do not have.
-the child is not a UK citizen, which is odd as L is one

-L protects his family online and in person, yet the baby's face isn't blurred during pap walks, even when his sisters' faces are
-L paraded an infant around for paps to see
-L paraded an infant around for paps to see
-L sold his LA home this summer for a huge loss. to establish paternity, you need a residence in the state where the child resides
-L has not seen the child since 2017
