Louis Tomlinson blasts ‘laughable’ reports claiming he supported Tim Cook with rainbow Apple t-shirt
One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has blastedĀ reports claimingĀ he showed support for Apple’s newly-out CEO Tim Cook.
The singer was spotted this weekendĀ wearing a t-shirt with the companyās old rainbow logo.
A reporter in the Independent – along with several other publications –Ā suggested the act was symbolic following Tim Cook’s decision toĀ come out as gay earlier this month.
On Monday, Tomlinson took to Twitter, posting a message to the reporter Jenn Selby:
@JennSelby The fact that you work for such a ‘credible’ paper and you would talk such rubbish is laughable. I am in fact straight.

@JennSelby Google ‘original apple logo’ and you will see the one printed on my shirt that you reported on. Trying to look for a promotion ?

Fucking ridiculous I even have to tweet that shit ! ā Louis Tomlinson (@Louis_Tomlinson) November 10, 2014
It comes after his bandmate Harry Styles joked about being bisexual, claiming that being female was ānot that importantā in terms of who he wants to date.
Fans of the band have since formed the group Rainbow Direction ā for LGBT discussions apart from the famously rabid fanbase.
In September Liam Payne went on a shooting trip with the stars of reality show Duck Dynasty ā many of whom have attended events run by listed anti-gay hate groups.
