Found this post in my drafts when cleaning them out and @thoughtsthatarehardtoexpress told me I shouldn't delete and I should post this one so...
In one of Z newest interviews, he mentioned 1D and going solo. Honestly feel like the main quote that was going around when this was fresh news was just phrased poorly and his new PR team didn't make the best idea having Z just say "well a certain someone was already planning on leaving the label" when talking about his decision to leave 1D and go solo. It makes it sound like a dig at one specific member who was planning to "ditch" the band to go solo, and he just decided to "beat them" to it by leaving first.
It would have been better had they made it clear the issue was no one in the band really wanted to or was planning to resign with their toxic management/label so Z just left before that time came and 1D had to deal with the drama that came with not resigning with their toxic label. Though 1D could have been looking for a new label and not planning to disband bc louis did say no one [of OT4] was thinking about disbanding UNTIL Z decided to leave the band.
How it was phrased caused toxic solos for some reason to think Z was making a dig at either Louis or H [main suspects for wanting to "ditch" the band]. Thus either saying "of course fake ass louis wanted to ditch his so called friends" or "of course H wanted to go solo he's so full of himself" depending on what branch of the toxic 1D solo tree they are apart of.
Louis has talked about how he didn't originally see himself doing solo music or having a solo career and that once 1D was over, he would just write music for other artists and how in his doc showed how sad he was the band was coming to an end. H loved 1D more than anything. Still to this day, he sings WMYB when he has many solo songs to pick from even when it's a small set list for x event H still sings WMYB. So that along with louis telling us prior that they weren't thinking of disbanding tells me L&H weren't trying to dip and this was a poorly worded thought and badly done PR from Z new team.
Even though former directioners know L&H weren't planning on leaving early, this poorly worded 1D portion of one of Z solo interviews it caused solos who hate L or H to think he meant L or H was planning to ditch 1D to go solo AND it caused radio stations to talk about it like it's fact Z was saying H wanted to leave quickly to go solo. This erks me knowing how much L&H loved 1D and still do !!
It makes sense [to me] that Z was the biggest contender for member who didn't mind leaving early *to go solo* not bc he hated the boys or "1D itself" but bc he talked about his distate for boybands prior to 1D formation, auditioned with an R&B song [which more then likley means he wanted to be an R&B artist], had songs he wrote for 1D albums that were passed on [songs he later put on his debut solo album showing how much he loved them and wanted to sing them] and was working on a solo album not long after leaving 1D. Solo R&B just seems like what he always wanted. Sadly, due to his health issues at the time, it seemed things didn't go as planned for him, thus why he had many canceled interviews and concerts back then. I just really wish bad PR that makes it seem like L&H negatively liked/hated 1D when they don't wasn't done.

Your tags, yes I think him leaving affected Louis and Harry a lot. That is why Louis and Harry reactions were much more bitter than Niall or Liam. And the fact that he finally admitted that it wasn’t only for mental health is surprising.
As someone who is not sure if Harry and Louis are still together this makes me feel a lot of things.
yeah we humans are quite complex and I don't think any one thing influences our decisions. much the same with zayn leaving, i think there were multiple factors involved in his decisions. one being as he's said and we've seen, his mental health but also yeah getting a jumpstart on a solo career, when all of them somewhat knew it was coming to an end soon, was very much a factor that influenced his decision too. which is absolutely fine. i was surprised he admitted it as well but yeah it does support a lot of speculation and theories about what went down at the time and how it affected his relationship with harry and louis in particular.

Did you listen to the Zayn interview? What did you think?
i didn’t listen to it lol… but it was inescapable so i know a little about it. confused as to why it keeps being presented as his first interview in six years like that’s not true lmao (i only know this bc in 2021 he said niall was his favorite… like was that not in an interview 😭)
i also keep seeing people call him a backstabber for leaving during tour (mainly from LT & H stans) and i’m super confused but also if anything about zayn leaving 1D elicits a feeling from you anymore you’re a loser sorry

Nothing makes me more uncomfortable than some of you absolute psychos trying to plan finding Harry and Louis together in Italy like fuck me can they not just enjoy some time away together? can they not get away from you for five fucking minutes? this is why we never see any of the 1D lads together because you all lose any form of basic decency when you get a hint of it
