Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson have been dogged by rumors that they’re secretly gay throughout the entirety of their time with One Direction, and some fans are so convinced that the guys are lovers that they’ve even mashed up their names to create the fictional celebrity couple, Larry Stylinson. These “Larry shippers” likely got the thrill of their lives when they saw the hashtag #sextapelarry trending on Twitter. However, as you’ve most likely guessed, the guys have not actually created a sex tape together.
However, while Harry Styles might be able to laugh off the Larry Stylinson sex tape rumor, Louis probably wasn’t smiling if he happened to notice it. According to Sugarscape, Louis once angrily lashed out at a Larry shipper on Twitter by informing the fan that Larry “is the biggest load of bulls**t.” You’d think One Direction fans wouldn’t want to make Louis that angry again, but they just keep on pushing the gay rumor.
According to Unreality TV, the sex tape rumor likely started trending simply because the One Direction fandom was bored. However, it’s also possible that Larry shippers were trying to give themselves a little pick-me-up in the wake of the terrible news that they’ve been struggling to come to terms with. As Cosmopolitan points out, Larries were devastated when they learned that Louis impregnated a stylist named Briana Jungwirth. Some fans even tried to claim that Larry was using Briana as a surrogate for their own child.
