Online trolls have stirred controversy by sharing misleading videos on TikTok, falsely claiming to depict the funeral of former One Direction star Liam Payne.
These clips, which have gone viral, use footage from unrelated high-profile funerals to attract views, sparking outrage among fans and the broader public.
Fans Condemn the Disrespectful Content
Supporters of Liam Payne have been quick to debunk these videos, calling them out as fake and labeling the creators as “disrespectful” and “exploitative.”
One fan criticized the trend, stating:

Some of the misused clips include footage from the funerals of notable figures like Prince William and Sir Bobby Charlton.
Despite backlash, the misleading posts remain online, highlighting the challenges of moderating such content.
