What are your honest opinions about these blinds?

I'm not sure what to think anymore.

I think Ace has legit lost his marbles. Like I don't get what's going on with him?

This story was from a tumblr post and I didn't believe it at the time because it was hella sketchy and now Ace is jumping on this? What?

I'm really starting to think that 1D's "people" are somehow behind this.  I think they paid Ace to publish this.  Soooo, my theory is that 1D is making that transition from kid to adult, right?  Justin Bieber is Mr. Angry and Reckless these days.  Miley Cyrus is an oversexed hood rat.  The change in image doesn't seem to be hurting either's popularity right now, though.  So 1D's dumb ass clusterfucking handlers decide a good idea to throw dirt on the boys to give them a more dangerous and adult image.  They probably have enough mainstream publications and websites in their back pocket to know this would cause an uproar only within the fandom.  And it worked.  The fandom went nuts for a couple of days.  So if anybody was trying to wean themselves off 1D for a hot minute (raises hand), this sucked you right back in.  It gets you speculating and keeps 1D on your radar. 

I don't think Ace is above making a deal if the price is right.  Money talks.  And of course, any blind item implying it's about 1D is gonna get hits.  So, win win for Ace.  And the fact that this blind was so different in tone than the previous ones is suspicious.  I also think the thank yous on Twitter from Harry and Louis were for the fans who rejected the gossip about them breaking up and Harry cheating and implying that the guys do coke.  That was all some pretty nasty stuff and I know it must be frustrating to not be able to set the record straight. 

There's another theory that Modest is trying to do damage control because 1D is about to kick them to the curb and they want people in the industry (some of whom have to keep up with the gossip as part of their jobs) to think 1D is a nightmare to work with and it's been Modest's know how that kept a lid on the fuckery for this long.  Maybe.  I could believe that too.  I hope this is the end for Modest and that they take their planted stories, beards, showmances, fake engagements and random blondes with them back to International Fail Headquarters!  LOL

I agree that mgmt got to Ace in some way, whether it was through deliberately planted bad information, or with a direct payoff. I think Morgan Spurlock's lackluster efforts with This is Us pretty much solidifies that EVERYONE has a price, so honestly, I agree with caith that Ace could be enticed to compromise his principles for the right amount of cash.

Either way, I'm more and more convinced on the daily that Modest is on their way out the door, especially after the way Louis and Harry have been in concert the past couple of days. The fond is almost overwhelming, and that almost kiss/kissper was like WHOA. Everyone appears to have zero fucks left to give.

Completely agree with both of you.

I think management definitely got to Ace as there's no other realistic explanation as to the sudden - change in him.

I think (and hope) modest are on their way out.

I'm still not over that almost kiss/kissper. jfc. I don't know how people explain that... do you think Harry and Louis realise you're meant to whisper in ears & not the mouth?
