Liam Payne’s tycoon pal Roger Nores slapped the late star’s father with a defamation lawsuit Thursday for suggesting he plied the singer with drugs and had “full responsibility” for him before he plunged to his death from a hotel balcony.

Nores alleges that Geoff Payne misrepresented his friendship with Liam to an Argentine prosecutor and insists he "did not have a legal duty to Liam" and his care

Nearly three months after Liam Payne ’s death, his friend Roger Nores has reportedly named the singer’s father in a defamation lawsuit.

The Argentine businessman isn't just suing Geoff Payne for damaging his reputation, but also for alleging that the British singer was under his care during his final days.
