Roger Nores Drops Defamation Suit Against Geoff Payne

Roger Nores, friend of the late Liam Payne, has voluntarily withdrawn his defamation lawsuit against Geoff Payne, Liam's father. Nores initially filed the lawsuit claiming Geoff made false statements to Argentine authorities accusing Nores of being responsible for Liam's care, which he denied, seeking $10 million in damages. However, after being cleared of involuntary manslaughter charges related to Liam's tragic death in Buenos Aires, Nores decided to drop the suit, stating that Geoff does not need to apologize. Nores had planned to donate any awarded damages to Liam's son Bear, but now expresses a desire to move on and focus on productive endeavors. Despite the lawsuit's dismissal without prejudice, which allows for potential refiling, Nores has indicated he has no intention to do so. Nores recalls a promise he made to Geoff to always support Liam, underscoring his deep affection for his late friend.
