'Vile' trolls target hotel where Liam Payne died with mocking reviews

Casa Sur, the hotel where Liam Payne tragically diet following a fall, has been flooded with 'vile' reviews from trolls on Google

by · Daily Record

"Vile" trolls have hijacked the review section for the hotel where Liam Payne was staying when he tragically passed away. Officials have claimed that the former One Direction star "jumped from the balcony" of his room in Argentina, sustaining "multiple traumas" which led to "internal and external bleeding".

The heartbreaking event took place on Wednesday evening after Liam returned to his third-floor room at the Casa Sur in Buenos Aires. He had been on holiday with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy and had recently supported former bandmate Niall Horan at a concert two weeks prior.

While most people have expressed their sorrow and condolences online, some have resorted to making cruel jokes about the 31 year old's passing. A number of individuals have posted nasty remarks on the hotel's Google reviews relating to Liam's time at the upscale venue.

These reviews have been circulating on social media where his loyal fans have fought back, calling them out for their disgusting behaviour. One fan said: "Low life scum." Another added: "I genuinely hope you get all the help you need with your insecurities." A third user said: "People have way to much time in their sad little lives."

One more added: "Who does this! They must have read the news and immediately thought 'I know what I’ll do, I’ll write a review on the hotel, that’ll be funny won’t it' - these people are sick and need help!" Others branded the reviews "vile".

Liam was 14-years-old when he auditioned for The X Factor - and went on to form One Direction with bandmates Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik. Liam welcomed his son Bear with Cheryl in 2017, when he was aged 23. The couple parted ways the following year after a two-and-a-half year relationship.

In a joint statement, the One Direction members said: "We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly. The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam."

One Direction tributes to Liam Payne

Harry Styles

"I am truly devastated by Liam's passing. His greatest joy was making other people happy, and it was an honour to be alongside him as he did it. Liam lived wide open, with his heart on his sleeve, he had an energy for life that was infectious. He was warm, supportive, and incredibly loving. The years we spent together will forever remain among the most cherished years of my life. I will miss him always, my lovely friend. My heart breaks for Karen, Geoff, Nicola and Ruth, his son Bear, and all those around the world who knew and loved him, as I did."

Louis Tomlinson

"I am beyond devastated to be writing this but yesterday I lost a brother. Liam was somebody I looked up to every day, such a positive, funny, and kind soul. I first met Liam when he was 16 and I was 18, I was instantly amazed by his voice but more importantly, as time went on I got a chance to see the kind brother I’d longed all my life for.

"Liam was an incredible songwriter with a great sense of melody, we often spoke of getting back in the studio together to try and recreate the writing chemistry we had built up in the band. And for the record, Liam was in my opinion the most vital part of One Direction. His experience from a young age, his perfect pitch, his stage presence, his gift for writing. The list goes on. Thank you for shaping us Liam.

"A message to you Liam if you’re listening - I feel beyond lucky to have had you in my life but I’m really struggling with the idea of saying goodbye. I’m so grateful that we got even closer since the band, speaking on the phone for hours , reminiscing about all the thousands of amazing memories we had together is a luxury I thought I’d have with you for life. I would have loved to share the stage with you again but it wasn’t to be.

"I want you to know that if Bear ever needs me I will be the Uncle he needs in his life and tell him stories of how amazing his dad was. I wish I got a chance to say goodbye and tell you one more time how much I loved you. Payno, my boy, one of my best friends, my brother, I love you mate. Sleep well."

Niall Horan

"I'm absolutely devastated about the passing of my amazing friend, Liam. It just doesn't feel real. Liam had an energy for life and a passion for work that was infectious. He was the brightest in every room and always made everyone feel happy and secure. All the laughs we had over the years, sometimes about the simplest of things, keep coming to mind through the sadness. We got to live out our wildest dreams together and I will cherish every moment we had forever.

"The bond and friendship we had doesn't happen often in a lifetime. I feel so fortunate that I got to see him recently. I sadly didn't know that after saying goodbye and hugging him that evening, I would be saying goodbye forever. It's heartbreaking. My love and condolences go out to Geoff, Karen, Ruth, Nichola and of course his son Bear, Thank you for everything, Payno. Love you brother."

Zayn Malik

"Liam, I have found myself talking out loud to you, hoping you can hear me, I can’t help but think selfishly that there was so many more conversations for us to have in our lives. I never got to thank you for supporting me through some of the most difficult times in my life. When I was missing home as a 17 year old kid you would always be there with a positive outlook and reassuring smile and let me know you were my friend and that I was loved.

"Even though you were younger than me you were always more sensible than me, you were headstrong, opinionated, and gave no f***s about telling people when they were wrong. Even though we butted heads because of this a few times, I always secretly respected you for it.

"When it came to the music Liam, you were the most qualified in every sense. I knew nothing in comparison. I was a novice child with no experience and you were already a professional. I was always happy to know, no matter what happened on stage we could always rely on you to know which way to steer the ship next.

"I lost a brother when you left us and can’t explain to you what I’d give to just give you a hug one last time and say goodbye to you properly and tell you that I loved and respected you dearly. I will cherish all the memories I have with you in my heart forever, there is no words that justify or explain how I feel right now other than beyond devastated. I hope that wherever you are right now you are good and are at peace and you know how loved you are. Love you bro."
