Liam Payne’s buddy, Roger Nores, is clapping back at claims he abandoned the singer before his tragic fall in October 2024. And oh boy, Roger brought receipts.
“I’m No Villain,” Says Roger, Basically
Roger, who seems to have spent more time saving Liam than most people spend binging Netflix, filed some spicy legal docs in Argentina. According to Roger, Liam wasn’t just living on the edge—he was practically doing cartwheels over it. He claimed Liam had flirted with death “multiple times” in recent years, which is not exactly the kind of flirting we’d recommend.
“I loved him,” Roger wrote, probably while side-eyeing everyone who dared question his loyalty. “I helped him selflessly, spent my own cash, and yet here I am, accused of bailing on him. I don’t deserve this!” Cue the dramatic violin music.
Hospital Hopping: Liam Payne’s 2023 World Tour (But Make It Medical)
Roger spilled some truly jaw-dropping tea about Liam’s health scares. First stop: Milan, September 2023. Apparently, Liam was hospitalized for three days due to severe intoxication. Roger didn’t elaborate, but let’s just say it wasn’t from too many espressos.
Then came late 2023 in London, where Liam made not one but two VIP visits to the hospital. Roger says it got so bad that doctors had to break out the resuscitation moves like they were auditioning for Grey’s Anatomy.
The Rehab Chronicles: A Global Odyssey
Liam’s rehab journey could’ve been its own reality show. Spain, March 2024: Liam checked in, but like a guest leaving a bad Airbnb, he checked out early. By April, things went downhill faster than a toddler on a sugar high—Roger says Liam had a near-overdose and needed resuscitation again.
Finally, Liam landed in the U.S. for some serious treatment. For a while, things seemed sunny (summer 2024 vibes!), but by August, Roger suspected Liam was back to his old habits. Concerned, Roger sent an email to Liam’s dad, basically saying, “Tag, you’re it. Good luck!” before exiting stage left.
“Don’t Blame Me, Blame the Hotel Staff!”
Roger insists he didn’t leave Liam high and dry on the day of his death. According to him, Liam was happily greeting fans before things went south. Roger then pointed fingers at the hotel staff, claiming they mishandled the situation. “If they’d just called a doctor instead of dragging him to his room, we wouldn’t be here,” he argued, clearly ready to throw down.
The Verdict? It’s Complicated
This saga is like a mix of a medical drama, a crime thriller, and a heartbreaking boy band breakup. One thing’s for sure—Roger’s not going down without defending his reputation, and the world is left wondering what really happened in Liam’s final days.
