Liam Payne Twitter Claim: 'The Fappening' Pics Not Real, One Direction Member First Man Targeted By Celebrity Photo Leaks

Hollywood was swept once again on Saturday with a massive round of celebrity nude photo leaks, in the second wave of what has become known as “The Fappening.” While most of the victims of both this and the first crop of leaks have been women, this time One Direction’s Liam Payne was also thrown into the mix. Photos have surfaced that purportedly show him in bed with another man. The singer took to Twitter on Sunday to claim that the photos are fakes, and insist that he is not gay.

The photos in question show a man in a black cap – alleged to be Payne – naked with in bed with a second, unidentified man. The pics quickly went viral after being released, and the singer tweeted in response, “Wow as if people think that weird photo going around is actually me lol think id rather tweet a full frontal than have people look at that.” He followed by stating, “I’m 100% not homophobic. But I’m also 100% not gay so when somebody says I am I’m gunna say I’m not which does not make me a homophobe.” Meanwhile, the hashtag #WeAreWaitingLiam was created in response to Payne’s joke about posting full-frontal nudes, and quickly went viral.

Other victims of “The Fappening” part 2 have included Kim Kardashian, Hayden Panettiere, Gabrielle Union and Kate Bosworth, among others. Photos have been surfacing on 4chan and Reddit, but both sites are taking them down as quickly as possible, as they both instated new policies to do so after the first wave of leaks. Unfortunately though, many of the photos leaked so far began spreading far and wide around the web before the sites had a chance to delete them. So far, Payne is the only celeb from the new crop of victims to deny the authenticity of the photos in question.
