Liam Payne's Father Sued for Defamation by Friend Roger Nores

Roger Nores alleges Geoff Payne's statements to Argentine authorities misrepresented their friendship and contributed to his manslaughter charge in Liam Payne's death.

Roger Nores, a close friend of the late Liam Payne, has filed a $10 million defamation lawsuit against the singer’s father, Geoff Payne, in Florida.
Nores claims Geoff made false statements to Argentine prosecutors, alleging Nores had a duty of care for Liam Payne, which Nores denies.
The lawsuit follows Geoff's statements that Nores was part of a 'care group' for Liam, which Nores refutes, stating they were only friends and he had no legal responsibility for Liam's well-being.
Geoff’s statements were reportedly used in the Argentine investigation into Liam’s October 2024 death, where Nores faces a manslaughter charge for alleged negligence.
Nores has pledged to donate any proceeds from the lawsuit to Liam Payne’s son, Bear, while Geoff and Liam’s estate have denied the defamation claims and rejected a prior retraction request.
