According to sources cited by The Sun, Zayn Malik allegedly punched Louis Tomlinson in the face, with rings cutting Tomlinson's head, after Malik made a comment about Tomlinson's late mother Johannah Deakin, who died in 2016 from leukemia. The alleged altercation took place six months ago, as reported by multiple media outlets. Reports of the Netflix series first emerged in October last year, with episodes planned to cover topics such as fame, personal lives, fatherhood, and careers.
Netflix decided to scrap the documentary last month when it appeared the pair could not reconcile for filming, according to major media reports. Recent developments have included social media activity and health issues. Louis Tomlinson unfollowed Zayn Malik on Instagram as of Saturday, multiple reports indicate.
Louis was stunned and in shock. As he went to move, Zayn then attacked him. Zayn punched him straight in the face, because he was wearing rings it cut Louis' head.
Zayn Malik was admitted to the hospital on Friday for undisclosed reasons, and he postponed his One Night Only show in London on April 13 due to illness, as reported by major media. According to Daily Mail - Home, a source described Tomlinson as stunned and in shock, with Malik attacking him and causing a concussion that required medical treatment. The series director Nicola Marsh shared The Sun's front page about the incident on her Instagram story and commented that it marked the end of a year's work, highlighting the implications for the documentary project.
Netflix, Campfire Studios, and representatives for Malik and Tomlinson have not officially confirmed or commented on the alleged altercation and show cancellation. The exact nature and severity of Tomlinson's injuries from the alleged punch remain unclear, and it is unknown why Malik was hospitalized or if it relates to the incident. The current status of the relationship between Malik and Tomlinson, including any reconciliation efforts, is also unknown.
And there goes the last year of work.
