Roger Nores is suing Liam Payne’s father for defamation after manslaughter charges related to Liam’s tragic death
Florida: So, here’s the scoop. Roger Nores, a close friend of Liam Payne, is taking legal action against Liam’s dad, Geoff. This all comes after Liam’s tragic death, which has been linked to a manslaughter charge against Nores.
In his lawsuit, Roger claims that Geoff made false statements about him that have been spread around by the media. He insists that these claims are not only untrue but also misleading. Geoff had said that Liam was under Roger’s care due to his struggles, but Roger argues he never had that responsibility.
Roger also points out that Geoff could easily reach Liam through his phone or bodyguard, so he wasn’t completely out of the loop. The whole situation is pretty messy, especially since Liam died after falling from a hotel balcony while under the influence of substances.
Before Liam’s passing, Roger had asked Geoff to come to Florida to help care for Liam, but Geoff declined. Now, Roger is saying that Geoff’s statements about him being responsible for Liam’s care are just not true.
Geoff has claimed that Roger was in charge of Liam’s health, but Roger firmly denies that. He says they were just good friends supporting each other. The lawsuit is a way for Roger to clear his name and set the record straight.
Things got even more complicated when Roger was accused of abandonment in Argentina, where Liam died. He allegedly didn’t inform Liam’s family about a relapse. Roger insists he left Liam in a good state, surrounded by friends.
Besides Roger, others involved, including hotel staff, are facing charges related to Liam’s death. Roger has made it clear that any money from this lawsuit will go to Liam’s son, Bear. He just wants Geoff to retract his statements and acknowledge the damage done.
Roger misses Liam every day and wants to honor their friendship, emphasizing that Liam was an independent person who made his own choices.
