Last week, Louis Tomlinson arrived at The X Factor studios wearing a T shirt with the original rainbow-striped Apple logo on it.
In the article, Jenn Selby wrote positively about Louis appearing to support Cook and did not at any stage comment on or speculate about Tomlinson's sexuality.

However, rather than being pleased at the association, Tomlinson quickly took to Twitter to express his anger at the publication of the article. In tweets that have since been deleted, Tomlinson was very quick to clarify his sexuality.
He went on to say that his choice of T shirt was not a comment on gay rights.
He concluded by saying that the situation was "fucking ridiculous".
It wasn't long before Selby responded to Tomlinson, pointing out that being gay is not shameful, and supporting the LGBT community is something to be admired.
And it seems that a lot of people sided with Selby over the issue. Tomlinson lost over 20,000 Twitter followers after his outburst, and others said they were canceling their pre-order of One Direction's new album.
Of course, a lot of other fans spoke out in support of Tomlinson.
It's unclear whether the coverage of Harry Styles' comments from earlier in the week prompted Tomlinson to respond so publicly.
During an interview, One Direction were asked what traits they looked for in a partner. Liam responded: "Female, that's a good trait."
Harry chipped in: "Not that important."
But either way, he's over all the dramz already.
