Cheryl Cole has broken her silence on her ex’s tragic death. After Liam Payne‘s shocking and tragic death on Wednesday, she revealed she’s struggling with grief — and the reality that the couple’s 7-year-old son Bear will have to face a future without his father.
But there’s something else bother her — all the “troubling” reports coming out since the 31-year-old’s passing.

Alongside a black-and-white photo of the father and son, she wrote on Friday:
“As I try to navigate this earth shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I’d like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being.
Liam was not only a pop star and celebrity, he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend and a father to our 7 year old son. A son that now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again.
What is troubling my spirit the most is that one day Bear will have access to the abhorrent reports and media exploitation we have seen in the past two days. It is breaking my heart further that I cannot protect him from that in his future.
I am begging you to consider what use some of these reports are serving, other than to cause further harm to everyone left behind picking up the pieces. Before you leave comments or make videos, ask yourself if you would like your own child or family to read them.
Please give Liam the little dignity he has left in the wake of his death to rest in some peace at last.
Thank you,
Cheryl”
So, so sad.
We definitely would caution everyone to keep that in mind when commenting, especially when it comes to speculation and judgment. We all know Liam was going through a lot before his passing.
