In a series of tweets, the 'Strip That Down' singer called for newspapers to "treat women with a bit more respect."
"My team is full of talented, smart professional women. I find it wrong that they are reduced to being linked to me romantically in the press just for simply standing next to me."
"Isn't it time we treat women with a bit more respect?"
"So far the press have done this with every female member of my staff it's demeaning some are in relationships and it complicates there work environment when they do this to them ... I think it stops here."
Fans praised Liam for using his platform to speak out.
Finally someone said it... Thank you for this, Liam. It really should be a basic thing to do -- treating women in the same way as men with celebrities like you, but we're not there. Yet.
