I mean, this was, One Direction was a part of so many, you know, people's childhoods and me being one of those. So I totally understand that. But I think when... we first kind of were spotted out in public. And I think it might've been maybe our first Instagram post together or something. I was just getting flooded with hate.
Just like you're like, you know, just being the new girlfriend, kind of like this isn't going to last. Who even are you? Where do you come from? Like just nitpicking everything about me, just my appearance down to everything. Just, you know, people would... dig up all these old photos of me from like 2020, you know, and just be like, she looks so different than she looks now, comparing photos.

And it was just, it was just hard to see that. And Liam, you know, Liam would say to me, like, I'm so, like, he would feel at fault. He'd be like, I feel so bad that you're, that you have to put up with this and deal with this, like this, you know, like if this isn't for you. And I was like, I don't care what people think at all because I love you.

So if people think that our relationship is fake or staged, or if they think I wear too much makeup or like look 10 times older, like, or just have, have these little nitpicking opinions about me. Like at the end of the day, nobody knows our relationship like me and Liam. So I never let it get to me. He never let it get to him. And he,

He showed me that it's not, don't let people's opinions get to you. It doesn't matter. It's always going to be behind a computer screen and it shouldn't let it affect your day or your life. And I completely agree with that. And I try, you know, I try to have the thickest, strongest skin, but I will say sometimes like one negative comment will weigh out 10 positive comments.

no matter how strong you are, you see that one really negative comment, but then you see 10 really kind, beautiful comments on top of that. The only one you're going to think about all of that day is the one negative one. You're not going to think about like the kind ones.

Yeah.
Yeah.
That was definitely all Liam for me. He almost like guided me into this way. He just built me up. He made me feel like this amazing human. And this, he grew up in the limelight of fame since the young age of 14, 15 years old. So he's had over at the time, you know, almost 15 years of experience of this. And he just completely always said, you're going to get hate no matter what.

You're going to get negativity. It doesn't matter what you do. He just always said, and I would see it because people wouldn't always be so nice to him. And I would see him just brushing it off. And he really, you know, sometimes I could see that one comment that would get to him, but barely, he would just brush it off and just, who cares?

And he really taught me that it's not important, this one comment. And he really did train me in a way to realize that life is more than that and not to let one negative comment affect your entire day or your life. Yeah.

And to focus on the good things, focus on the positivity from it, not the negativity.
