IN CASE YOU MISSED IT!
1 HARRY STYLES has reportedly splashed out on neighbouring properties surrounding his London home in order to create a ‘fortress’ against stalkers.
This is after a homeless man, Pablo Tarazaga-Orero, 26, was recently found guilty of stalking the star after he offered him money and food.
Instead of being incarcerated, Tarazaga-Orero was given a restraining order, banning him from entering Styles’ postcode, going within 250 metres of him, attending any of his gigs, and sending him messages on social media.
Appearing in court for the case, the Lights Up hitmaker explained he ‘would like to feel safe at home’.
So in addition to the stalker being given a restraining order, Harry has apparently taken matters into his own hands, spending an estimated R360-million buying up property surrounding his R58-million home in a bid to feel safer.
He is also said to have added CCTV that sends alerts to his phone and security guards 24/7 after he suffered a threat to his life, a source told The Sun newspaper. Tarazaga-Orero has also been ordered to complete a 12-month community order, a 30-day rehabilitation requirement, and pay R6 500 in total. If he breaks the strict conditions, he faces jail.
2 LIAM PAYNE went into therapy after the end of One Direction sent him ‘off the rails’. The 26-year-old singer found fame as part of the British boyband, which decided to go on hiatus in 2016. Since then, he’s had success as a solo artist, but admitted during a new interview with GQ Hype that he went through a difficult patch which left him seeking help from a professional.
“I went into therapy a couple years after leaving (One Direction),” he explained. “I kind of went off the rails a little bit and just couldn’t really figure out what was making me sad. So, you know, my team got somebody around to help me through a couple of different, difficult things that I was going through. I was just trying to figure myself out. It was just such a strange course through life, and then when the switch turnsadded that he ‘went through this really weird retirement phase’ after the band came to an end as he ‘didn't know what was going to happen’.
