Liam Payne's Friend Withdraws Defamation Lawsuit Against His Dad Geoff

Liam Payne‘s friend is no longer suing his father, Geoff Payne.

Roger Nores, who was acquitted of an involuntary manslaughter charge in the investigation of the One Direction star’s passing, asked the court to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit Wednesday (April 8), via Rolling Stone.

In his original filing, he alleged that Geoff made false and defamatory statements about him in sworn declarations to an Argentine prosecutor investigating Liam’s passing, claiming damages of over $10 million.
