@metrouk: TMZ has defended itself after sharing photos of parts of Liam Payne’s body after his death. The pictures, which were removed after backlash, showed Liam’s arm, waist and tattoos and, they say, were used to confirm incoming reports. Now, TMZ’s executive producer Michael Babock, told Fox 5 New York that Liam had recognisable tattoos and they ‘used it as a way to confirm, or to match up the tattoos at a point where police had not yet confirmed his identity.’ ‘And then, once they did, obviously, that photo was removed.’ What do you think? Does this justify TMZ publishing the images? #liampayne #tmz #scandal #twitter #x #socialmedia #onedirection
