Did Louis Tomlinson really attack bystanders in an airport because he was protecting his girlfriend? Perhaps the angst of not having a new One Direction song is getting to him. Though Zayn and Harry Styles have been ramping up their star profiles, not everyone has been as busy working.
Tomlinson is purported to have attacked paparazzi at LAX airport. The One Direction veteran and his newly returned girlfriend, Eleanor Calder, were in the baggage claim area when they were surrounded by fans and photographers. Two separate scuffles are said to have broken out involving Louis and his girlfriend. The pair had just returned to Los Angeles after recently reuniting. They first broke up in 2015.
Louis was released from custody just a few hours after the arrest, at 1:32 a.m. early Saturday. Louis is scheduled to appear in court on March 29. He could face a fine and six month in prison, if convicted. Tomlinson is 25-years-old, and has been with One Direction since its beginnings in 2010, when he was 17-years-old. Louis Tomlinson is a father, with his first child born in January of last year.
