Who are really behind the stunts? A huge but very informative thread
Let's start with Max Clifford an english publisher who has been known to "rewrite" the rules of PR. According to him a made-up story was as good as a genuine one. He was also described as a compulsive liar.
In March of 2014 he was found guilty of 8 counts of indecent assault on four girls and women aged between 15 and 19.
On 2 May 2014, he was sentenced to eight years in prison.
He died on 10 December 2017, three days after suffering a heart attack, whilst still an inmate.

One of Clifford's most famous clients was our very own Simon Cowell (from 2004 to 2014).
Whilst in prison he was asked if Simon was visiting him. His answer was: "No, he’s a coward. I knew he’d run a mile"

Louis Theroux (an american-british filmmaker) claimed that Clifford had set up a lot of publicity stunts for simon (even though simon himself had denied it)

In an interview Max had confirmed that PR agents are the most successful at manipulating the media and that they have huge influence in rumours stoping/starting. (1:55- 3:40)
Clifford had also openly stated that he supports and has performed closeting as a way to mantain a client's career. He specifically said that none of his clients had been outed.
That's interesting considering Simon has been rumoured to be closeted for years.

Simon has been rumoured to have a lot of "fake" pr girlfriends. There are also rumours about gay lovers (for example Paul Mckenna, his best-friend, who also has an odd set-up. He was engaged for several years to his manager and now shares a house with with her platonically)
If that theory is true his beard is Lauren Silverman. They supposedly had a secret relationship (when she was married) but went public when she got pregnant in 2013. Her husband divorced her and made Simon stay away for his and Lauren's son or he would have to pay 50.000$ penalty
There are also rumours that Lauren is the surrogate of his son (some other rumours claim that the son isn't even his, due to the strong resemblance that the kid has with Cowell's brother) https://twitter.com/Beard_Club/status/677863758920704002?s=19
Taken into consideration the above it's not unlikely that Simon would use similar methods that were used upon him to closet harry and louis (beards, pr stunts, babygate)
I always believed that bbg isn't explicitly about closeting. I thought that there was something else hidden behind. So what if Louis knew about Simon's backstory (a lot more than we know) and threatened to reveal everything. That's why simon trapped him to silence him
Another interesting "coincidence" is that Danielle has a dog named Max. When the Lounielle stunt started Louis got also a dog (aka the stunt dog) which he decided to name Clifford. What are the chances?
Huge shout out to @johanne28_4HL for providing me the right links and directing me to connect the dots in this situation. She is the genius behind this
Okay backle up kids cause there's more (this is explicitly about bbg so if you don't agree with it move on)
According to the media Simon had a secret relationship with Lauren Silverman as I mentioned before. The interesting part is that her husband at the time and Simon were besties. After she got pregnant he had a very public clash with Simon. However they did got close again...
As I said before there are rumours that the child is not Simon's. Lauren's ex (Andrew Silverman) looks pretty similar to the child and his son is looks like a twin with Simon's son. So some believe that the child is actually his and not Simon's
The similarities between Simon's and Louis' situations are so many. Especially how the media tried to show how much the kids resemblance their supposed fathers.
Anyways this is obviously just a theory but it would make sense for simon to use the same techniques that were used for years upon him. You could almost say "copy of a copy of a copy"
Again my partner in crime
