Unfollowing someone on Instagram is a bat signal that something has gone wrong. Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson are supposed to be filming a road trip documentary together, but it looks like they’ve hit a fork in the road. Tomlinson (and his sisters) unfollowed his former 1D bandmate on Instagram, and there are rumors that the two had a physical altercation while on set. Can’t we all just get along?
The Sun reports that Malik allegedly punched Tomlinson and gave him a concussion while filming the documentary six months ago. “Louis was stunned and in shock. Zayn was wearing rings so it cut his head. It happened outside in front of so many people,” a source shared. “The lads were filming on location. Zayn started acting up and was mouthing off. It spiralled into a row then Zayn made a remark about Louis’ mum Johannah. Louis was stunned and in shock. As he went to move, Zayn then attacked him. Zayn punched him straight in the face.” Tomlinson allegedly got medical treatment after the altercation.
Netflix reportedly canceled the project last month, but the streamer has not officially confirmed it. Vulture has reached out for comment. The documentary’s director, Nicola Marsh, allegedly reshared The Sun’s article on Instagram, with the caption: “And there goes the last year of work.”
Malik and Tomlinson did not have the most peaceful relationship after the band broke up. The two had many Twitter fights, where they called each other out for talking smack. Tomlinson’s mother previously told her son that they should try to set aside their differences and reconcile. “My mum said, ‘You’ve got to get back in contact with Zayn. Life’s too fucking short’,” he told The Sun in an interview in 2017. “A mother’s intuition is just fucking crazy. It always felt supernatural to me. My mum always knew what I was feeling and what I wanted.” They eventually made amends after Liam Payne’s death in 2024, and Tomlinson attended Malik’s concert last year. Their friendship was going so well that Netflix paid them to film a road trip documentary, the same one that might’ve ruined their friendship once again.
