It's not like they raped these girls, both sides had sex because they wanted to. Using fame and popularity to get somebody on your bed isn't that strange, I could do It too(If I was famous )
Yes, exactly. Their fans are underage and that's what's so disgusting about his comments. Not that he's sleeping with fans, if they were over 18 that's fine but when the majority of their fanbase consists of 12-16 year olds it's extremely worrying.
I think I'm going to have to read this before judging, because, I mean, were they promising these girls tour tickets, backstage passes or something, and then not delivering after the girls slept with them? Unless these girls had fake ID's, then I don't see how 12-16 year olds could have been at the bars where they were.
If they actually take the trouble to find the ones that are 18+ then well done I guess... can't be easy filtering out all the 15 year old (and younger) girls.
I would rather stan for someoe who was real and didn't try to constantly hide their actions than the ones who pretend to be 100% innocent (1D). We all know whats going on so I don't see why people are acting shocked and disgusted when their favs do the same and if they had the chance they would probably do the same too.
They made a mistake using the words "taking advantage" though, I think they just meant they are taking advantage of the spotlight and the attention it brings not necessarily taking advantage of the girls themselves.
It's so weird to me to see the amount of people who are so shocked by this on this thread, what did you expect?
That said I guess I applaud their...honesty? Whatever.
This issue is so cringeworthy, they are not and will never be the 'hottest band on earth', gimme a break.
Neither their looks are that good or their music so praised, what is RS on?
Plus that cover screams 'wanna be Blink 182' to me.
