Louis Tomlinson unfollows Zayn Malik after reports of altercation on Netflix set
Louis Tomlinson has seemingly cut ties with Zayn Malik for good.
The heartbreaking news comes days after reports of a fiery physical altercation between the pair hit global headlines, which saw Zayn, 33, throw a punch at 34-year-old Louis.
The fight reportedly broke out on the set of a Netflix documentary starring the ex-One Direction stars, which would see them travelling the US together.
The three-part series was announced in October last year, around the one-year anniversary of their fellow bandmate, Liam Payne's death. Producers revealed that Louis and Zayn would reunite following decades of feud rumours, and reflect on their years in the spotlight, their personal and professional highs and lows, and Liam's tragic passing.

Over the weekend, however, The Sun reported that the travelogue series had actually been axed last month following a heated row that broke out in between scenes recorded six months ago.
Apparently, it began after Zayn made a remark about Louis' late mother, Johannah Deakin, who died of leukaemia in December 2016, aged 43.
"Zayn started acting up and was mouthing off," an insider claimed. "It spiralled into a row, then Zayn made a remark about Louis' mum Johannah."
The 'Pillowtalk' singer is then said to have launched a fist in Louis' direction, prompting Netflix bosses to cancel the show.
"Zayn then attacked him - punched him straight in the face," the source continued.n"Because he was wearing rings, it cut Louis' head."
Reacting to the news that the series had been cancelled, its director, Nicole Marsh, shared a screengrab of The Sun's front page on Instagram, writing: "And there goes the last year of work."
Following the news, Louis has since unfollowed Zayn on social media.
According to HuffPost, fans of the pair checked the latter's list of followers over the weekend, to notice that Louis was no longer named.
His sisters, Phoebe and Lottie Tomlinson, have also unfollowed Zayn on Instagram.
The series was scheduled to land 11 years after Zayn made the decision to leave One Direction, prompting the five-man band - Louis, Liam, Harry Styles and Niall Horan - to go their separate ways.
The group, which was formed on The X Factor in 2010, was last seen together in November 2024, when they attended a funeral service for Liam at St Mary's Church in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, northwest of London.
