Payne was not present in the supposedly leaked video that shows band members Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson smoking marijuana. Tomlinson is heard saying “So here we are, leaving Peru. Joint lit. Happy days!”

Tomlinson and Malik have brought in lawyers and plan to take legal action against the person they say stole and leaked the video.
