They were just smoking

Some of One Direction's fans destroy their concert tickets.


Some "Directioners" destroy their tickets after a video emerged showing Louis Tomlinson, 22, and Zayn Malik, 21, smoking a "joint" when they were in Peru.


  • Some fans have demanded an apology from the two members for their action because they are "role models with a young fan base". And others have said they "still love" the band.


Behind the camera we can hear Louis Tomlinson saying: "So here we are, leaving Peru. Joint lit. Happy days!". This was in Lima on April 27, where the band performed.
They were not alone, they were with three members of their team travelling, joking. The other three members of the band, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Niall Horan, all 20, were not with them.
Most of the time Louis focuses on Zayn who sits beside him. While joking, Louis asked: "How is it Zayn'" then, Zayn replies: "Nice". It is not clear what is meant by "chicken" but the boys joke and laugh with members of the band's team about it. Louis asked: "Are we all right for chicken?" and one of the men said: "We got a full chicken". Later, we can hear: "I've got an update. We got a chicken in Chile." Zayn and Louis started to repeat over and over in a funny way: "We got Chile Chicken. Chile Chicken baby!".
The video could damage the plans of Simon Cowell, with the two members caught, it's possible they will be banned from entering the USA, where they will perform next summer.
Now the band is in the UK, in Sunderland, where they are going to play in the Stadium of Light this evening before touring the UK and Europe.
According to Peruvian law, possession of Marijuana is not punished if it's used for personal and immediate consummation, not exceeding eight grams. A spokesman for One Direction told to The Mail on line: "The matter is now in the hands of our lawyers".

In my opinion, I don't really give importance to this. They smoked marijuana, and? They're not the only ones. Okay, they are famous and a lot of their fans are young, but they didn't choose their fans, fans like them for their music and their personality. It's not because they smoked marijuana one time that fans have to hate them, and if they do, Zayn and Louis are not the only members of One Direction, what about Liam, Niall and Harry? I understand if you're disappointed by Zayn and Louis but it doesn't mean you have to hate them and the entire band. A lot of groups smoked marijuana and consumed drugs during their life, and a lot of them died because of this, but it's not because they smoke a joint once that they will die. I also understand that this "bad boy" attitude is not how you know the boys from One Direction, but you have to understand that they are growing up, they are all adults, they know what they have to do and they are conscious. So, how you can see I'm a Directioner and I don't hate them, I'm not even disappointed. I'll keep supporting them and I'll never, NEVER, destroy my concert ticket.
