Did One Direction’s Zayn Malik delete his Twitter account because of Perrie Edwards, is it a PR stunt or is he leaving 1D?

So we just revealed that One Direction star Zayn Malik has deleted his Twitter account.

The hunky singer had more than five million followers on the social networking site but this evening shut his page down, after a rant at his fans.

Zayn has been dating Perrie Edwards since April of this year and fans have been less than welcoming to the Little Mix star. He has received constant abuse, been accused of cheating on the blonde beauty, as well as being told he is fabricating the whole relationship because he’s actually gay.

It seems that the broody performer has had enough and tonight he tweeted:

‘The reason I don’t tweet as much as I use to, is because I’m sick of all the useless opinions and hate that i get daily goodbye twitter.’’

Zayn added:

‘my fans that have something nice to say can tweet me on the one direction account’

And he was gone!

Many Directioners have been lamenting Twitter’s loss this evening but we can’t help wondering if there’s something else behind Malik’s decision. Even after he closed down his account, he can reactivate it within thirty days without losing any followers or information and we wouldn’t be at all surprised if that’s what ended up happening.

Just a few hours ago Zayn and Liam both announced – via Twitter incidentally – that they had some big ‘news’ to reveal in a few days time. It’s general consensus that the announcement will involve a release date for their new single, which is expected to hit the shelves in September 2012. Their second album will follow before Christmas.

Leaving Twitter will generate a huge amount of press coverage and that won’t hurt their sales at all.

However, if Zayn is leaving because of all the hate, then we’d be a little bit concerned that he could end up quitting the band next. After all, the teenage singer is already a multi millionaire and just last month, Perez Hilton predicted that he would be the first one to leave, claiming that Zayn was beginning to implode.

He said:

‘I think they will probably all try to go solo, my pick to probably be first to leave the group is Zayn.

He – from what I hear – is the most tempestuous one and Liam is the most sensible one.’

Do you think Zayn is struggling? Do you think he will leave One Direction or is the whole thing just one big PR stunt? Leave your comments below…

  4. kelly says:

    I am a huge Directioner and I really doubt that Zayn would do that to the boys they are like brothers he wouldn’t do that to them I think that is pathetic to even think that because any true Directioner would know that they are like brothers and he wouldn’t do that but if he does any time soon I apologize but I don’t think he will he loves them too much

But if you don’t want to… Its okay its non of my business but don’t leave the band 1D . If υ leave… That band will have something less.

  13. @gulagaiticha says:

    leave twitter,but never think to leave 1D ,zayn.. just let it flow and if u feel better ,please come back. we’ll always love and wait 4 u :*

  14. @katievachon123 says:

    personally i think he was just a little frustrated with the hate, but liam and louis both have girlffriends as well so i dont really get that? also i do agree with the fact that it probably is a PR stunt. i dont think he will be going solo though i think it would just cause more uneeded drama in all of their lives and its only been 2 years theyve been together. i give it another year or 2 before they start to talk about breaking up.

  15. Arianna says:

    Im really upset now . I am a directioner and i love one direction soo much . It means everything too me its basically my life :/ i hope Zayn doesnt quit or any other member does . I love them so much :(

  16. @raisaalmeyda says:

  17. Jessica says:

    Personally, Zayn is not one of my favorites of 1D but i am a true directioner and it wouldent be the same without zayn if he left one direction. So zayn if you do read this please dont leave one direction for me and all the rest of the directioners around the world :)

  18. mitha says:

  20. Directioner says:

    the only reason that zayn delate his page coz of the rumers about him . and his not lievin the band . Directioners love him I love him . am criyin since I hier the news :’( if only he know haw we love him :’(

  21. #DirectionerForever says:

    I think this is a load of rubbish,Zayn wouldnt do that or try to hurt his fans.. So its obvs not true.. And One direction isnt a band unless theres a Niall,Liam,Louis,Harry or a Zayn..

  22. *Directioner says:

    Zayn please stay in the band for those who love in spite of those who do not like you! please.

  23. McKenna says:

    Perez Hilton is the biggest asshole known to man I mean he needs to hop off. If he has nothing better to do, he obviously has no life, why would you creat so much hate. I mean he’s like 1000 years old, pick on someone your own size you prick

  24. britt says:

    lol. i guess he just wanted people discussing him in short he wants to be more famous! clever zayn! atleast u have reason to blind people.

  25. Beverly says:

    I know Zayn will not quit. Why would he do that?? We love you Zayn, please do not quit 1D. It won’t be One Direction without any of you. Xx

  26. Caitlin says:

    Wait a sec, I have tickets to the 2013 tour?? How would that work without Zayn? WE LOVE YOU ZAYN! Is it even possible for him to leave?

  27. Georgiee says:

    We’ll have to handcuff him to Harry so he can’t leave :)

  28. janice says:

    he also said they wouldnt make it big in america…………………

    honestly this is just a rough patch and they’ll get through it.

  29. IHate all haters says:

    Zayn, please dont leave. All your fan’s beg you and we love you like hell. Please.

  30. Iluvzayn says:

    Oh god. I’ve been on many websites reading about zayn Malik quitting twitter because of the hate directed towards him about his relationship. So he just left twitter and he is NOT LEAVING 1D. I don’t know why people make up stuff. Quitting twitter and quitting the band are two totally DIFFERENT things. Zayn is one of the most important singers in the band. He, along with Harry and Liam, sings the most in the band. He is one of the most popular too. The screaming gets higher every time he starts singing in the concerts. The hate that he gets on the twitter only makes me think that he is the most cared for. When people care about a person so much, then that person has a lot to deal with. Fans never approved of his relationship with Perrie. This only means that his fans are the most jealous fans who can’t bear to see him close to any girl. Who can blame them? ZAYN’s JUST TOO PERFECT!!!! Even though zayn tweeted least, he still had millions of followers. This just shows how much people love him without him even trying. Zayn should know that there are billion times more lovers than haters. Oh zayn we want u back on the website. We miss u so much. I love u so much. Ur my most favorite celebrity ever. As far as Perez is concerned, WHO THE HELL CARES WHAT THAT OLD STUPID GUY HAS TO SAY???

  31. Directioners! says:

    Zayn will never leave the band I know it This is all because of the hate he is getting seriously if your a directioners you would appreciate perrie as his girlfriend and he loves perrie and perrie loves him we can’t control them okay so if your jealous keep it to your self because anyway is zayn going to actually like you? I think not if you don’t appreciate the girls the boys date then get out of the fandom! I know we all like them but in reality were actually not gonna end up together with them right? Anyway why do people hate on perrie she is gorgeous! She is talented have you heard her voice And she is what zayn likes in a girl and of course same as Eleanor and Danielle there like efffin beautiful! Even tho were directioner and close fans lets not mess wth thier lives and love lifes their humans like us!! Nuff said.

  32. Marlene says:

    Zayn don’t leave One Direction.. Please stay for you’re fans and you’re 4 friends.
