The Boy Bander Photo Sale

[Blind Gossip] This boy bander was caught doing something recently.

He was caught holding hands with another guy.

He is usually very careful in public, but he evidently just got a little too relaxed and a couple of people who recognized him snapped some photos.

He immediately noticed what had happened and motioned for them to come over.

He was quite nice about it and asked us if we would delete the photos. We were so shocked that he was speaking to us that we hesitated for a moment. Then he said, “Look, you would be doing me a great favor. How about [a modest amount of money] AND we can do a photo together?”

They were fans, so they said yes.

Everybody walked away happy… even though the fans could have probably sold that photo for a small fortune!

    He handled it very well, I respect him for that. I could never be famous. I wouldn’t take kindly to people taking pictures of me as I’m quietly going about my day, it is very invasive. A real fan would have told him to keep his money, deleted the pictures anyway, and never mentioned this to media sites.

    100% Harry Styles – it’s only a matter of time before he’s outed. Wonder who he was holding hands with?

    Boy Bander: Harry Styles

    [Optional] Did the Boy Bander handle the situation well? Would you have taken that deal? He got very lucky with those fans. I would have deleted the photos and wanted selfies with him and lunch in exchange

    Don’t know, but I think he did handle it well. If I were a fan, I’d much rather have a pic of myself with him than a pic of him and someone else.

      Harry Styles. To be honest, if I were a fan, I wouldn’t want a picture of him and his romantic interest! But that being said, I’d never purposely take one of a closeted person holding hands with or kissing his amore. That’s just not cool to do, it’s disrespectful.

      I would be glad to delete such a photo if I accidentally took it showing something this personal. No money necessary, just a nice photo of the guy I had originally photographed – without the love interest in it.

    harry styles

    Harry Styles (with Xander Ritz maybe? Not sure if Jeff Azoff is straight or not)
    And no, what’s the point? Nobody thinks he’s straight anyway, so why bother pretending to be at this point? His fans saw through him from the start and his ‘girlfriends’ are a joke. The more mysterious & ‘artsy’ he tries to be, the more clownish it looks. People might take him more seriously if he was just honest and got on with his life & career.

  13. pharmchick says

    Not sure but im going to guess 1D Harry styles.
    Tbh I thought he handled it great! If I was a fan, I wouldve been happy to even see a celeb I liked close enough to photograph- here hes with me in the pic and giving some cash on top. I would certainly respect his privacy if he was polite like that!

  17. leahsa says

    Harry Styles and Xander. They were spotted in Philly and Styles took 52529601 fan photos before they jetted back to London together. A local pap

    Harry Styles

    If I’d been asked politely I would’ve deleted without asking for money. Though I wouldn’t have taken the photos in the first place without asking – manners!!

  21. Beekeeper says

    Probably harry styles,
    I would probably delete the photo regardless, no one should be outed against their will.

    Boy bander Harry Styles

    I think its sad Harry feels he cannot completely be himself in public. He has a massive LGBTQ following and lots of other fans who would support him if he decided to come out. Personally I won’t accept money. I’m a massive fan and would have deleted the pic out of respect or just not taken it in the first place knowing fine well he is not openly gay.

    • ChattyCat says

      Well said. Mu thoughts exactly 🙂
      However’s attached to the hand he was holding is a lucky guy. HS seems like a genuinely kind soul & his SOH is a killer 👌

  24. cherry37 says

    Harry Styles

    He should come out already. It’s good that he didn’t lash out at fans. He seems like a chill guy.

  25. Oreogirl says

    Considering the linked blind item, I’ll say Harry Styles altho it would be more shocking if it were Liam Payne.

    I definitely think he handled it well.

    I would do as he asked and tell him to donate any money he was offering to a charity of his choice but quadruple it. 😁

    • ChattyCat says

      Sound like he IS being true to HIMSELF. He doesn’t have to declare his personal relationships to the word.

  32. youngstory says

    I Like that how you said “Modest” amount of money.
    Clearly it’s One Direction’s management. So, I Guess it’s Harry and Louis

  34. Alesia says

    Harry Styles and Xander.

    Earlier today someone on twitter wrote that he had seen them and that he can’t unsee what he saw but also said that he wouldn’t discuss it further.
    Harry was also seen leaving Mexico and just after this blind was published the numerous (which is uncommon for him) photos of Harry with fans in Philly came out and in the bg you could see Xander’s family members as they live there.

    I think he handled it well but I wish he wouldn’t have to hide who he loves

    • carrieva9 says

      As someone who still checks up on the 1D fandom regularly, I can confirm this is 100% what fans have been saying.

      I personally was not interested in Xander drama because I was very much focused on Zayn and Liam (vocally and visually, and also as friends). But I do know it creates a HUGE schism in the fandom.

      Time will tell!

  37. DoctorBenway says

    I would go for Harry or Louis from 1D, but probably more Louis.

    I think he did well. Maybe he should have given them a little more information about why he wanted them to delete the photos. I would have taken the deal, maybe without the money : it’s his private life, if he doesn’t want people to know, i can understand that and i would feel bad to make money on someone’s private life.

    Harry Styles
    He handled it well

    I’d be ok without him giving me money. I’m not a fan but private life is private

  42. montebell says

    Handled well. No one’s business who he was with but I would have been tempted to keep the pic. In the end I’d take the deal, but even if a photo is deleted it’s not really gone, right? I’m glad the person offered cash and a photo. No meltdowns, no fights, no phone smashing.

    Harry Styles

    Sounds like he was as gentlemanly about the situation as anyone could be. I have no wish to destroy someone else’s life, and his offer was very reasonable and acceptable.. now smile cutie pie… and take the selfie. CHEESE 😁

    • reality check says

      The sad thing is he still feels he needs to do that. ( handled it very well BTW)
      Most people already know his sexuality. He is much too young to live a lie for his entire life. It will be a one day story, then no one cares.
      Don’t give up your real life for “ fans”- we don’t care. Look at Ricky Martin
