ONE Direction star Zayn Malik has reportedly cheated on his pop-star girlfriend Perrie Edwards with an Australian waitress after meeting her at London nightclub DSTRKT last week.
Courtney Webb, 21, has spoken to The Sun newspaper about her encounter with 20-year-old Malik and claims that Malik explicitly told her that he was single despite enjoying a well-publicised relationship with Edwards, a member of British girl-band Little Mix.
Webb, originally from Bargo in New South Wales, said: “He’s an absolute s**t. How dare he — not only to me, but to Perrie?”
Webb alleges that after meeting a friend of Malik’s at DSTRKT she agreed to go with a group of friends to the One Direction star’s £2.2 million home in Barnet. She claims that she was unaware of Malik’s public profile when she agreed to go to his home, and was unaware that he was in a long-term relationship.
Malik waited until the early hours of the morning before making a move on the Australian waitress, waiting until the pair were alone at 5am before allegedly cornering her and saying “You’re so hot, you’re so fit, you’re really beautiful. Wow!”
Webb admits that she responded to the musician’s advances despite having noticed fake eyelashes and make-up scattered around Malik’s bedroom. She claims that when she asked the pop-star about these items, he responded by saying “Don’t worry about her, she’s on tour.”
Edwards has been rehearsing for Little Mix’s upcoming UK tour, due to begin in Nottingham on Monday. Little Mix rose to prominence in 2011 after winning the British version of The X-Factor. Malik was also involved with the program, with One Direction finished third in the 2010 installment of the competition.
Webb went on to tell The Sun that Malik attempted to call a taxi and asked her to leave his home immediately after the pair slept together. She said that she became irritated when she caught Malik trying to film her performing a sex act, and took a candid photograph of Malik sleeping as proof of their liaison. The photograph, published in The Sun, showcases Malik’s distinctive tattoos and appears to support Webb’s claims.
These allegations of infidelity are not the first to impact upon Malik’s relationship: in September of last year Malik was allegedly recorded calling to arrange a ‘booty call’ for himself and fellow band-mate Harry Styles, telling the girls to claim that they were the band’s make-up artists in order to prevent security thinking that they were obsessive fans of the band.
One Direction fans, notorious for their often vicious outbursts against any woman seen to be involved with members of the band, have taken to Twitter to condemn Webb as a liar and accuse her of attempting to undermine Malik’s relationship with Edwards. Australian fans of One Direction have vented their anger towards Webb, claiming that she has given Australians a “bad name” by making these allegations.
Malik is yet to comment on Webb’s allegations, however the star was spotted at the Nottingham hotel where Edwards was staying before commencing the Little Mix tour after rushing back from France, where One Direction were accepting an award for Best International Band at the NRJ Music Awards.
