In regards to this, many other users came out in support of his girlfriend, “free her omg, Liam looks truly uncomfortable I mean you can literally tell from his body language & facial expression.”

It is worth mentioning the publication reported that some of the fans also defended the singer by saying, “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.” While another used penned, “Why do ppl get so mad when a man expresses how he likes his gf to dress?
