Liam Payne Slams Tabloids For 'Demeaning' Treatment Of His Female Staff

Liam Payne will not let his personal life be sensationalized by the tabloids any longer and the former One Direction singer took to Twitter on Sunday (October 21) to hit back at certain outlets.

After the U.K.'s Daily Mail published photos of the budding solo star and "a mystery woman" arriving at London's Rosewood Hotel, Payne decided it was time to step up to the plate to clear the air, particularly because the woman was a member of his team. "My team is full of talented, smart professional women," he wrote to his 32.7 million followers. "I find it wrong that they are reduced to being linked to me romantically in the press just for simply standing next to me. Isn’t it time we treat women with a bit more respect?"

In a follow-up message, Payne explained that "so far the press have done this with every female member of my staff." "It's demeaning some are in relationships and it complicates there work environment when they do this to them," he continued. "I think it stops here."

Since splitting with Cheryl Cole, who he shares 1-year-old son, Bear, with, Payne has been linked to model Cairo Dwek. Back in August, the two were spotted getting cozy during a trip to Lake Como, Italy. Photographers caught the 25-year-old singer holding hands with the 20-year-old model during an afternoon walk. As per witnesses, Dwek slipped her left hand into the back pocket of his jeans and the pair even shared a kiss in the backseat of a car.
