The beloved British boy band's recent woes have included legal troubles over their name, a Chlamydia scare involving a Koala and pesky rumors started by haters on Twitter.
Just this week, one of said haters claimed that member Harry Styles punched a paparazzo in the face following the band's appearance at the "Men in Black 3" premiere in New York. But Styles tells J-14 that the rumors are simply not true. "I definitely didn't punch anyone!" he assured the magazine.
