In the same interview, he said he used to hate Louis, and told a story about someone in 1D pushing him up against the wall, after explaining, “I think it was well-known within the band that I don’t like taking shit.” Payne said he told the bandmate that pushed him, “If you don’t remove those hands there’s a high likelihood you’ll never use them again.”
He later addressed his comments in a YouTube video, calling them “self-protection” and saying, “A lot of what I said came from the wrong place. I was so angry at what was going on around me and instead of taking a look inwards I decided to look outwards at everybody else and I just think yeah I took it out on everybody else, which is just wrong, really.”
