Liam Payne has come under fire for making a ‘misogynistic’ comment towards his girlfriend Kate Cassidy.
The One Direction star, 30, went viral on social media after Kate, 25, shared a TikTok video of the pair showing off their outfits ahead of date night in Manchester.
WHAT HE SAID
As Kate described her ensemble – a fitted black waistcoat and cropped trousers – Liam looked deadpan into the camera and said: ‘Looking good, nice and covered up for once.’
FANS REACT
Fans were left in shock by the remark, taking to X to point out the hypocritical nature of his comment, given that he has posed shirtless and previously released the single, Strip That Down.
They commented: ‘“Looking good, nice and covered up for once” ???? Girl i know you faking that laugh at the end’; ‘meanwhile these are his insta stories’; the fact that he would always claim to be the “nice” and “kind” one from 1d…. yikes! a soon to be raging misogynist [sic].’
Others shared: ‘free her omg’; ‘Liam looks truly uncomfortable I mean you can literally tell from his body language & facial expression’; ‘It took me until the third instance of me seeing this video to realize that man is LIAM PAYNE?! Wtf’; ‘I never liked him not even when i was a hormonal teenager.’

Some fans did come to his defence, however, posting: ‘So many people think they know exactly what’s going on based on a 6 seconds video. It’s disgusting how so many people find it so easy to hate. Shame on you.’;
‘Why do ppl get so mad when a man expresses how he likes his gf to dress? She obviously still wears what she wants. [sic]’
Despite the controversy, Kate and Liam, who were first linked in October 2022, proved all was well between them as they were pictured later in the evening hand in hand at Sexy Fish.
