The lawsuit asserts that Geoff Payne provided misleading information to Argentine authorities, alleging that Nores had a duty of care towards Liam due to his struggles with addiction. Nores contends that these claims misrepresented their friendship and that he was never responsible for Liam’s well-being, highlighting that Liam was an autonomous individual capable of making his own choices.

According to the lawsuit, the statements made by Liam's father have caused "extensive damages" and severe harm to Nores' reputation. The legal document also mentions that any financial recovery from the suit will be directed to Liam's son, Bear, ensuring that a portion of the funds supports his future.

The investigation into Liam Payne's death is ongoing, with a UK inquest postponed until November 6, as authorities continue to assess the circumstances that led to the tragedy. The case has attracted various responses from fans and colleagues alike, further highlighting the emotional weight of this high-profile loss.

The media has reached out to both Nores and Geoff Payne for comments on the lawsuit, as the story continues to unfold.

Nores aims to clear his name whilst emphasizing that he had no legal obligation toward the singer, amidst a backdrop of mourning from Liam's loved ones and the public.
