The Dark Side Of One Direction | The Things The Management Wants To Hide

[@louistpwkharry]

Alright, this is my first video like that, so leave me some feedback if u want, so I can learn from it for the next time :)

[@lucychall]

I really like the editing and you went into thorough detail, super helpful!! keep up the good work :))

[@hasashi_Aayu]

i already told you my feedback in another comment so i won't say it again but i really appreciate your hard work, and you explained things really properly and since i am here i might as well subscribe hoping to see more good content from your side good luck

[@louistpwkharry]

Thank you very much, i made some other videos like this, you can find them in my "scripted videos" playlist :)

[@sophiepalmer-doran344]

hello i agree with the poor Management there is clear evidence that Harry has Asthma is a condition in which the airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing when breathing out and shortness of breath that affects 1 in 12 people of all ages.Whilst the severity of the symptoms vary and can heavily impact a person’s life Management would withhold meds that would help him breath or have him preform with ill knowing it would lead to an Asthma attack. i would recomend the channel My Mind My Mood for more details

[@ltx503]

I think this video will educate many people about what the music industry is, that they stop believing everything that comes out in a newspaper or in an interview. The industry is controlling and there are still many shady things that need to be brought to light.

[@shannon7358]

Very well made. It’s horrible what these guys went through. We just didn’t know it at the time. It’s a miracle they all turned out as well as they have. I can’t imagine the intense pressures they felt.

[@PFCD]

I'm not surprised at any of what you mentioned occurring. The problem is they were just young kids going through it. Your brain doesn't have the maturity to deal with the complexities of being an image verses who you really are. What a shame. RIP Liam. I heard everyone else is going to keep in touch now and they're worried about Zayn. I hope whatever issues any of them have they can work them out. It is just unacceptable what happened to Liam and so sad that he couldn't be helped. I wonder if Simon has any guilt.

[@dayofeating1222]

I think the form of the band just awful.The connection between bandmate is real,no wonder liam want the reunion cuz they are true friend...

[@leecarson3426]

Poor Liam Payne. He told Fans in Argentina that being in a boy band messed him up. This was right before he died. Liam had been struggling for years with drugs and Alcohol. He would be clean for a while, then relaspe. Unfortunately, this became a pattern in his life. It's so heartbreaking and sad the way Liam died all alone in a Foreign Country, without his girlfriend there to help him. Liam had no real friends with him to help him, at the end. Liam deserved so much better. RIP BEAUTIFUL SWEET LIAM PAYNE 😢 💔 ❤️

[@roxyvekved5958]

Wish so badly the boys could speak freely of the abuse.

[@LeonGallagher-j1p]

oh shut it, they brought in millions and millions of dollars for themselves and had a blast with popularity, awards, girls. Can't imagine any teenage boy saying no to that.

[@TjC_3124]

This is so prevalent in the entire entertainment industry. Many (I would say a majority) of minor stars grow up to have issues with addiction, mental health and gender identity and sexuality preference. Twenty years later we are no further than we were back then. I recently watched a video about "Glee" and was sickened by how they were treated. And today three of them have passed away. It makes me wonder if all the money is worth the price of fame.

Great video! I was watching a gossip video (can't remember which one) and it stated that the fans made up Larry Stylinson. When I made a comment saying " that's incorrect, I am 52 and I clearly remember a interview with Louis and Harry and they stated they came up with the name". My comment was deleted and than I was blocked 🚫

[@kalina1871]

thank you for this video! we need to raise awareness! this happened to them, but this happened to many other celebrities aswell! and I’m sure it still happens to this day to some of them

[@ojj3340]

And yet celebrities are completely irrelevant, if they disappeared nothing would change. It would be very different if doctors, teachers, firefighters disappeared… then we would be in trouble.

I think this is quite well made and I'm glad you made it. Never could stand Simon 'Cowel from day one of the show. Always thought he was an a hole. He was outright nasty more often then not and enjoyed it. Total Narcissist. Just really disgusting. It's terrible what they did to these kids. I'm old enough to be their mom and if they were my kids and I found out I would be bringing charges against Cowel and company and sueing big time. This is sickening. I hope eventually they all heal emotionally. Makes me sad and angry.🥺😡

[@OiOiOrIsIt]

I'm older and late in becoming obsessed with this fandom so I've binged videos about the band and each member/couple theory trying to learn everything I can about them. Reading between the lines, I had pieces together everything you said in this video so don't really need you to provide proof of any of it, but if I hadn't seen proof elsewhere or already been convinced these things were true, I would be asking you to prove what you said. I'm a skeptical person and need to know the what, when, where, how, and why to satisfy my curiosity and draw my conclusions. That would be my constructive criticism about the video. Otherwise, you had an interesting topic, the formatting was good, and I really enjoyed watching, even if it broke my heart thinking about all the boys went through. They are remarkable people and deserve the world.

[@louistpwkharry]

Thank uuuu, yeah, and i try to Mention a few more sources next time and then link them too :)

What a great and informative video. I love the last bit about treating others with kindness. Sadly that is something that many on social media to follow and now we find ourselves here with Liam gone. I would definitely watch if you did a well balanced intake of what was going on in regards to the social media platforms that were going at Liam for various reasons. Although I'd understand that you may feel you don't want to at this time of those who are mourning him.

[@andrerosekriel1127]

They are ordinary people with an extraordinary gift to share with the world, and yet no one has the right to treat them as if they are machines or robots. I'm appalled by how management has handled them. If someone is driven to undergo plastic surgery or hair implants because of the relentless pressure, it should make everyone reconsider the intensity of their schedules. This young boy band was formed with such potential, and surely their time could have been managed more flexibly to support a balanced lifestyle, allowing them to maintain a sense of self. It’s disheartening that the industry lacks stricter regulations for talent management. Many of those in positions of authority seem more focused on shaping these young artists to fit a certain mold-without concern for their well-being. This is nothing less than a form of abuse, control, and manipulation that could have a lasting negative impact on their future. It's truly disturbing to see how some misuse their power and evade accountability when their actions have harmful consequences. If one imposes such a grueling lifestyle on others, they should also bear the responsibility. Acknowledging these issues is essential to realizing the need for change and finding ways to prevent similar mistreatment in the future.

[@ojj3340]

“Extraordinary gift”? People who spend their lives helping ones are the ones with an extraordinary gift. These boys were average but the marketing was great.

[@AnitaLife27]

Simon is pure evil. Sadly, with boy bands, there’s a lot of abuse. The horror stories of N’Sync and Backstreet Boys, aweful! The Beatles rebelled and did their own thing, but originally they were put in little suits and cut their hair the same way. The Monkees resented the control their creators had over them and their music. Rip Liam. Show biz sucks!

[@michelleadam5032]

they LOVE performing (*except Z, though...) so it is irrelevant to portry them as prisoners. I was in the business myself and to work a lot equals happiness, when I do what I love. Their success shows the managment were right - the result proves. Having said that - your end sentence was sopt on.

[@aprilfisher4947]

Agree just think it's the young fandom and it sounds like a dickens novel and they were the golden egg and would have been treated very carefully also closetting is just part and parcel of it to appear straight and that's why fake girlfriends come into it and they would have signed and double signed clauses in contracts not to reveal stuff which is probably normal practice but lou and Harry are still veiwed the same way now when they are so much more than that.

[@anastasia10017]

there is a lot of complaining about their not being able to choose their hair, their clothes, etc... but it is a job. it is called work. If you work for a bank, you can't have green hair. if you work for a corporation, you have to wear a suit. if you want to be a pop star, you have to be cute, look trendy and sign autographs. I mean, these guys had a job and that job was to be pop singers and a boy band and they got paid very, very well. Also, pop stars have a short shelf life - the singers get older and lose their baby face cuteness, the teen fans grow up and forget about them. Five years is a good run and five years to make the money before you either retire to a mansion in the country or branch out into a different phase of your music or different career like producing, acting, writing, directing, etc etc...

@Emīlija Anna Lagzdiņa they can changed record label but the only problem would be that they can't keep the name one directions but if they somehow managed to get all the right of one directions they can moved to better label as group while doing solo at the same time balance solo work and band work similar to how got7 leave jyp.

The boys were minors, and the contracts were signed by their parents. In any case, it was written in the contracts what would be done and in what way. So? Parents should protect their children and should not sign such contracts that abuse minors. Finally, the music industry is always so busy. To all who are involved in this and are successful and not just 1 D. In the end, they were richly repaid for their work both with money and accolades and so everyone can continue as independent contractors. Trust me, none of them would have been successful if they weren't a member of 1D. (except Zayn because he can really sing). Make no mistake: I love 1D and I love their songs, but the truth, in my opinion, is this…

[@justwhatilike...234]

@helenabrglez9234~ That’s just your opinion about Zayn! All of 1D could sing and Harry Styles has proven how important it is to be able to interact with the audience!
