Journalist Shanik Berman Films Hotel Room Linked to Liam Payne’s Death, Prompting Backlash

Online critics call the footage insensitive and morbid, questioning the ethics of filming a private hotel room.

Overview

  • Berman said she was assigned CasaSur Hotel room 310 in Palermo and recorded the balcony and pool she identified as connected to the fall.
  • She maintained the stay was unplanned, saying hotel staff told her the property was nearly full and that suite was the one available.
  • Her video also shows the sidewalk memorial outside the hotel, which is where fans leave tributes because the interior is private.
  • Reactions on social platforms were largely critical, with users denouncing the content as unnecessary and exploitative.
  • As of the latest reports, Berman has not issued a direct response to the online complaints.
