Liam Payne's friend Roger Nores is suing the singer's dad for alleged defamation. Nores was charged with manslaughter in connection to Payne's death.

In a complaint, Nores claims he "did not have a legal duty to Liam" and that his friendship with the musician was misrepresented to an Argentine prosecutor

Geoff Payne, the father of the late One Direction star Liam Payne, is facing a defamation lawsuit from the singer’s friend, Roger Nores, over comments made following Liam’s passing. Payne, aged 31, died from “multiple trauma” and “internal and external hemorrhage” after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.

Roger Nores, one of the last people to see Liam Payne alive, is reportedly suing the late singer's father for £8.1 million in a defamation lawsuit filed in Florida. The Argentinian businessman claims Geoff Payne made "misleading false and defamatory" statements to police in Buenos Aires investigating the former One Direction star's death.
