Liam Payne Leaving One Direction, 'Love Sick' over Girlfriend Danielle Peazer? Singer Slams Rumors as Complete 'Bullsh#t'

Oh, the drama of One Direction! Recent shady reports allege that 1D crooner Liam Payne is set to leave the pop boy band because he's so "love sick" over girlfriend Danielle Peazer that he can't stand the thought of being away from her for long periods of time. But according to the 19-year-old superstar, such gossip is complete "bullsh#t." Payne recently hit up Twitter, claiming that he loves his fans too much to ever consider leaving the band over a chick.

A recent seedy report in the Daily Star claims that Payne is willing to risk his successful career for budding love. Apparently the "love-sick" singer is "set to quit" One Direction "because he can't stand being away from his girlfriend." The tabloid goes so far as to quote Payne as stating, "I can't stand being away from Danielle. If it's between the band and her, I'll choose her."

FYI - Danielle Peazer is an English professional dancer and part-time model. After initially breaking up with Payne, rumors have it that the couple finally got back together, although their relationship status isn't "official."

To continue with the ridiculous report, an alleged inside source claims that it's not only "love" that's leading Payne astray from 1D. It's his standing within the band - he supposedly doesn't think he gets the recognition or respect that he rightly deserves; "Liam feels he doesn't get the same status and respect as the big stars like Harry [Styles] and Niall [Horan]. [He] sometimes even questions why he's in the bnd at all.  The Daily Star even alleges that Payne is against coming to the US anymore for promotional tours - the stress that comes along with the job just isn't worth it anymore.

It looks like someone's trying to break the band apart! And it's not Liam Payne - it's the shady gossip tabloids that spread such outrageous lies.

Payne posted this message on Twitter on Sunday (March 3):

@Real_Liam_Payne: "thought I'd let you know this latest story is bullshit I love you guys so much I love this band they're my best mates I ain't goin now werrr."

So that apparently settles that.
