The Payne family tragedy continues to unfold with new legal drama. Geoff Payne, father of the late singer Liam Payne, is now facing a $10 million defamation lawsuit filed by Rogelio "Roger" Nores, a close associate of Liam.
The Allegations
Nores alleges that Geoff made false statements to authorities, blaming him for Liam’s heartbreaking death. Payne tragically passed away on October 16, 2024, following a fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. Nores, who had been with Liam shortly before his death, was later charged with manslaughter.
According to Nores, Geoff falsely claimed that he and Liam’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, were responsible for Liam’s well-being. Additionally, Geoff allegedly accused Nores of withholding critical information from a psychiatrist. Nores has strongly denied these accusations, asserting he was never Liam’s caretaker and had no such responsibilities.
Nores Defends Himself
Nores refutes Geoff's claims that Liam could not be left alone or that he had no access to a phone, calling these statements “completely fabricated.” He believes these accusations not only tarnished his reputation but also directly led to his legal troubles.
Seeking Justice
In the lawsuit, filed in Palm Beach, Florida, Nores has demanded a public retraction and correction of Geoff Payne’s statements. Despite the legal battle, Nores maintains that any financial proceeds from the lawsuit will be donated to Liam’s son, Bear Payne, as a tribute to his late friend.
What’s Next?
This lawsuit adds another layer to the already devastating loss of Liam Payne, as fans and the public await further developments. For now, the spotlight remains on this legal dispute, which could have significant implications for all parties involved.
