Liam Payne’s father Geoff is in bother.
Geoff Payne, is going through a defamation lawsuit from Roger Nores, a pal of the late musician.
Filed in Florida on January 15, the lawsuit claims Geoff made false sworn statements that triggered vital hurt to Nores, leading to damages exceeding $10 million.
The criticism, obtained by PEOPLE, alleges Geoff’s statements misrepresented Nores’s relationship with Liam and included “materials omissions” and data not based mostly on private information.
The 263-page criticism additional asserts that Geoff’s declarations to Argentine officers, which have been accessed in Florida, led to Nores struggling intensive reputational harm within the area.
“Geoff must backtrack on his [sworn] assertion as he very properly is aware of I wasn’t Liam’s nurse or caretaker,” Nores advised Rolling Stone. He emphasised that Liam was a “expensive pal” and never somebody he was legally obligated to look after.
Nores states that proceeds from the lawsuit will profit Liam’s son, Bear, and denied claims that he was part of any care group for Liam. The lawsuit stems from statements made by Geoff in October 2024, which Nores contends are false, asserting that he by no means agreed to be Liam’s caretaker.
