Zayn Malik’s Sister Defends Him After Cheating Rumors Run Rampant

UPDATE: One Direction’s rep has confirmed to HollywoodLife.com that this is a fake account.

All eyes are still on Zayn as he continues to battle those cheating rumors, but sister Safaa wants everyone to get off his back. Here’s her supposed Instagram message that, according to People.

“Don’t worry guys, Zayn is going to be okay very soon. All the stress has just gotten to him because of the rumours and hatred he has heard and received, It’s really hurting him, some people are just giving him to much. People need to realize my brother is human to, stop hating him because he hasn’t done anything to anybody, except for defending himself because of what people heard of what he did, but it isn’t true. I love my brother to death, and I do not want to lose him for anything, it hurts me to see him not feeling good. Please pray for my brother, please help him because I know he will be okay… please stop sending him hate and getting on him for what he has “did”.

Wow. Safaa is not having it with Zayn’s haters. But she’s right. Zayn is only human, and regardless of what he’s done, he doesn’t deserve this brutal backlash. 

Zayn was allegedly seen holding hands with a blonde in Thailand while on his world tour. After massive scrutiny, he apologized on Twitter but denied cheating. 

HollywoodLife.com has reached out to Zayn’s rep for comment.
