Tomlinson was not too happy about the podcast, but did not blame Payne for it. On the contrary, he thought ‘The Maverick’ was the one instigating Payne to speak ill about his ex-band members. In an interview with the Zach Snag show, he blamed Paul for pressing Payne to tell on the other band members.
