TMZ’s newly released documentary,‘TMZ Investigates: Liam Payne: Who’s to Blame?’, has triggered backlash from fans of the late singer. Premiered just two months after Payne’s tragic death, the series has been labeled “disrespectful” and “exploitative,” with critics questioning its timing while the investigation remains active.Fans expressed disgust over the documentary’s inclusion of interviews with eyewitnesses and defendants still under investigation. A particularly enraged tweet read: “TMZ shared photos of Liam minutes after his death, gave a platform to two defendants, and accessed hotel surveillance footage. How much corruption is at play, and who’s funding this? #JusticeForLiam.”Social media erupted with criticism:
- “How can a TV show air their own so-called investigation while authorities are still investigating?”
- “Platforms making money and fake stories off our Angel before the truth is out. Just sick. #JusticeForLiam.”
- “TMZ needs to shut up and wait for the case to be investigated first… Who gave them the authority to defame Liam?”
The documentary featured harrowing accounts, including one from Bret Watson, an eyewitness to Payne’s fall. Watson described the heartbreaking moment, sharing: “We saw Liam fall… Seeing anyone fall like that is haunting, but hearing the impact was even more devastating.”The documentary’s release has only fueled calls for accountability, with fans rallying behind the hashtag #JusticeForLiamPayne. Many are demanding legal action against those profiting from Payne’s death, as well as stricter laws to protect the dignity of public figures during ongoing investigations.
With emotions running high, the controversy around the documentary has overshadowed any potential revelations, leaving fans united in their demand for respect and justice for Liam Payne.
