Too Much Fame Too Young: Did The Industry Let Liam Payne Down? | Loose Women

[@JeanNewland-y8h]

You can tell by his eyes how depressed he was.

[@gabifgt]

no wonder he never showed his son's face online. he knew all too well how dangerous it was to be exposed at such an young age and protected his son from it. how many talented, gifted people are we gonna lose until society starts treating child artists like human beings?

[@PaladinesAngel]

I think Mylene is entirely right. It is almost neglectful and abuse how these young people are exploited.

[@Roma-SRyan]

Have them return all the money then, all the favors and all the benefits. There are plenty of young stars who are doing fine. Liam made bad choices. No one forced him to be an abuser and an addict

[@HappyBunny-d2i]

Mylene’s group was put together by a show and only had one hit so I wouldn’t say she’s an expert or able to compare her group to 1D…

[@JoanneJaworski]

@@Roma-SRyan are there really young stars doing well? Most of them seem pretty messed up to me!

[@MRT1601]

The showbiz industry is toxic.

[@bourjoism3917]

What about parents???It’s their duty to check on their kids

[@zelilee5312]

He had issues he couldn’t handle himself. People think because you’re rich and you have lots of adoring fans and money to fix everything you’ll be ok. He used drugs and alcohol to alleviate the pain that overwhelmed him, and because he didn’t continually and verbally ask for help, nobody came to help him. Some of the signs were there though.

[@toxictottie]

Mylene had the last laugh, absolutely stunning face and figure, amazingly talented and incredibly articulate. I am really glad they had her on the show because I think having gone through the manufacturing process and her being a Mother she is a good example and role model of someone who can truly reflect on the music industry and how hard times were and still are but how they have changed over the years as well. Poor Liam, there for the grace of god go I, rest in peace young man, you are in a better place now. Sending my heartfelt condolences to all his Family and Friend’s and those who loved him. ❤️‍🩹

[@amandaslade9072]

Where were all these people when he was struggling and most of them knew he was!

[@Delboy0]

His move to LA is what caused this. LA is a city of enablers and people out there just to get fame. So people where giving him drugs and his ex Girl who he met there was writing a tell all book to make money off his name and this is what push him into a dark place and basically commit suicide.

[@MrDavfit]

your so right

[@HappyBunny-d2i]

If someone gave you drugs would you take them ? Liam made bad choices he knew the risks he’s ex gf must have had evidence against him to hit him with legals… when you are as much as a celeb as he was you have to be very very careful because one mistake and your finished …

[@JoanneJaworski]

It started much earlier than this and these events. They just added into the pain.

[@AlexSwede-y8j]

Where are the parents of these “young stars”. Why allow your child at 16 to be swooped away and used as a cash cow. Plus these fans who are crying are the same fans that hound and harass these stars and invade their privacy and make their lives miserable because they become obsessed.

[@Shesawakeandyouredumb]

The industry chews these kids up and spits them out all the time. It’s just heartbreaking.. in one hand if he was never on X Factor his talent would have never been heard but if he wasn’t he’d probably be just a young man in his hometown..

[@mimim4409]

Music industry takes a toll on your mental health, the industry has let Liam down.

[@haveaniceday111]

So often childhood stars do not turn out well. They get all the money of course but it seems like a deeply traumatizing and isolating experience.

Fame and fortune is not good. Too much too young 💔

[@thepopfiles4294]

Ban anyone under 18 being in the Industry. And let’s stop putting people on a pedestal. It must be a mind …. to have millions of people know your name and feel they have a connection to you, when the reality is, they don’t even know you. Fame is twisted. Support people for their endeavours and creative output. But remember these are people we don’t know. Whether it’s praise you put upon them or otherwise. None of it is good. In the interim it may be an ego boost, but eventually if people suffer, it’ll only make them reach for other things to fill voids. He had all the money and reach to get help, but he didn’t, and that really is on him. People can’t make someone get help.

I think the hotel staff is negligent!! I think the fact they sent him to his room is horrific !!

[@MrReded69]

They did the best they could at the time. After his violent outburst in the lobby, they carried him back to his room and trusted he would just sleep it off. Unless they had a way to bar the balcony door, they couldn't do anything else legally. This was a hotel, not a hospital nor Recovery Ward. They were neither trained nor authorized to do a sweep of his room and remove drugs or alcohol.

[@JoanneJaworski]

@@MrReded69 exactly! That's a scary situation to be around for them too. Liam sounded out of control and would rightfully shake up everyone in his path when in that state.

[@elizabethsaville5627]

If he was being irrational in the hotel foyer, why did they push him into his room to be out of sight ?

[@JoanneJaworski]

@elizaabehtsaville5627 do you know how unsettling scary, and frightening it is to be around someone out of control? I've wondered how the hotel staff has also affected. Unless you are in that situation it's easy to look from the outside. I mean he was being violent by breaking things. So much pain....

[@lisacane5350]

Exceptional Myleene well said.

[@tymc2564]

So sad, so tragic 😢😔 RIP Liam 🙏🙏🙏

[@Alex-o1q9d]

Young people know the trappings of fame yet the majority would choose fame and fortune every time despite the downside. We live in an age where people want to be famous more than anything. You cant blame the industry, everyone has a choice and they will choose the money every single time.

[@JoanneJaworski]

@Alex-o1q9d You think kids can make those kinds of choices? They want attention and attention feels like love to kids and even adults. Heck their parents seem clueless, and I cringe at the parents who put their pre-teen or teen children on shows for attention and money.

[@julierutter4612]

Such a Tragic Waste😢 If ONLY LIAM was arrested he would still..be here😢

[@playaknights]

no he had a toxic ex who exploited him in the most nasty ways - for fame and clout in his darkest hour - stop with the 'poor childhood star bs

[@JuliaJuliaJuliaHey]

He has been in and out of rehab and talks about his struggles with growing up in a boy band so it is about being a childhood star. If he never went on xfactor and lead a normal life he might not have gone down the same drug filled path. He was dropped by his label 2 days before he passed so I'm sure that affected him too, when you've been on a high most your career and then suddenly your label doesn't even want you it must have been hard to deal with.

[@playaknights]

@@JuliaJuliaJuliaHey men in his position can weather things like what you described when they have their name and reputation in tact, of course he has struggles with substances but having his name dragged through the mud when he know that is all he got to succeed (public opinon/popularity)- obvious that is why he was smashing up his computer and TV before jumping - blaming being too young for fame is a total NPC regurtiation to put a bandaid on for the public. HIs ex was on a media war path. He told her he was struggling in the darkest ways cause of it but she doubled down in respnse.
