Louis Tomlinson Quits X Over 'Conspiracy Chat': Relationship Drama with Zara McDermott

Louis Tomlinson announced that he was quitting X on Monday due to 'conspiracy chat' about his personal life including his relationship with Zara McDermott (seen together)

Louis Tomlinson Storms Off X, Claims Conspiracy Chat About His Personal Life Is Driven Him Away!

In a shocking move, One Direction heartthrob Louis Tomlinson has announced that he's bidding adieu to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), citing relentless conspiracy chat and hurtful comments about his personal life as the reason.

The 33-year-old pop sensation took to the very same platform to share the news, stating that the constant scrutiny and gossiping had become too much for him to handle. It seems that Louis's new romance with Love Island star Zara McDermott has been under intense scrutiny, with fans and haters alike weighing in on his relationship, son Freddie's life, and even his late mother Johannah Deakin.

The One Direction star, 33, said that comments about his new relationship, his son and even his late mother have driven him off the social media platform

Louis's decision to leave X comes after he made headlines earlier this year when he went public with his whirlwind romance with Zara. The couple, who started dating in March, has been spotted enjoying dates, concerts, and even a romantic getaway together. However, it seems that their relationship has also sparked plenty of drama, including an awkward encounter between Louis and his ex Sam Thompson at Soccer Aid.

In the same post announcing his departure from X, Louis expressed gratitude to fans who have always had his back, stating that the constant negativity and conspiracy theories surrounding his personal life had become too much for him to handle. It's no surprise that Louis has decided to take a step back from social media, especially given Zara's own struggles with online trolls.

The Love Island Star Speaks Out

Louis penned in his X post: 'The last few months have made it impossible to be on here. All the conspiracy chat about my relationship, my son or even stretching sometimes to opinions on my Mum'

In an exclusive interview with The Scholarly Note, Zara McDermott opened up about her whirlwind romance with Louis and the drama that has surrounded it. When asked about her relationship with Sam Thompson, Zara revealed that she had initially thought their breakup would be amicable, but things took a turn when he started dating someone else shortly after.

Zara also spoke candidly about the scrutiny she's faced since stepping into the spotlight, admitting that it can be "frustrating" to deal with online trolls and constant media attention. However, it seems that Zara has found her own inner strength and is focusing on building genuine relationships rather than cultivating a social media persona.

A New Chapter for Louis and Zara

And back in May he had posted saying: 'Haven't really used this (X) much for a while. Seems to be such a weird place these days...'

As Louis Tomlinson steps away from X, fans are left wondering what's next for the star. Will he return to social media in the future? Only time will tell. For now, it seems that Louis is focusing on his music and personal life, surrounded by loved ones like his sister Lottie, who has been a vocal supporter of his new romance.

In fact, Lottie was spotted cuddling up to Zara at Glastonbury festival, where the couple enjoyed a private box performance from none other than Louis himself. The picture-perfect moment seemed to solidify their newfound friendship and the blessing they've received from Louis's family.

As the drama surrounding Louis and Zara's relationship continues to unfold, one thing is clear: these two are in it for the long haul, and we can't get enough of their love story!
