“we had to disappear” in the context of the start of the no interaction era of H&L in 2013 despite being in a 5 person band… oof pain

the best thing about knowing that Louis and Harry write about each other is that you get to have consistent sequels of the funniest drama, did he annoy you? like let me hear about it my oversharing kings, entertain me

Hey it's PR Anon.

Harry's team gave the RS writer several beats to hit. All of it, every single bit of it, was created by his PR team and fed to the writer. A large aspect of the article is about sponsoring Olivia Wilde.

I think the article was supposed to do a few things. One, sell vulnerable yet relatable music superstar Harry Styles who has varied interests. Two, sponsor his relationship with Olivia Wilde. And three, put a tiny toe in the queer pond to ramp up for My Policeman.

It hit the mark okay for selling Harry Styles. Harry is charming. He is likable. Even when he repeats talking points written in poor taste, he can still deliver well. He doesn't have a strong point of view about anything, speaks only in generalities, and doesn't commit to anything except being nice. He is a blank space for your fantasies to reside.

However, I think Harry is in a bit of a conundrum with DWD and MP. I think he has some promotional agreement with Olivia for DWD tied to financial gain. I think Olivia does have a point of view and for whatever reason, she wanted Harry to sponsor their relationship. I find it incredibly odd that she was interviewed for the article, referred to as his girlfriend by the writer, yet he never commented on her directly. He barely mentioned acting in the movie she directed. Why does Harry seem so much more eager to discuss MP than the movie directed by his girlfriend? I think there are real boundaries around his relationship with her, what he will do and what he won't do. I think she wanted more from the arrangement and this article was one way to sponsor their relationship without him being directly involved.

I didn't read the comments he made regarding the toxic corner of fandom to be about Larry specifically but rather the general, constant speculation of his love life with anyone including Louis, Xander, Camille, Kendall Jenner, Andy Cohen...the list goes on. I read those comments as him saying none of that is real, none of that is me. I didn't read it as him saying Larry isn't real because although Larry is discussed a lot, it's one of many relationships.

I have thought a lot about why he made the comments about fans. Because really, what was the point? If he is in love with Olivia and wants people to like her and support their relationship, then it would be very easy to show love for her and support for her by simply being with her in a real way. The comment about the fans seemed more of a PR talking point to show sponsorship of Olivia without actually admitting to caring for her. I think this relationship is imbalanced, real or not.

I think Harry's was trying to express how much the story of MP meant to him - the relationship, the love, the secret life. But in an effort to hide why that meant something to him, he said crass comments about gay sex. It was in really poor taste and I can see why people are pissed. In an effort to hide Harry's sexuality, his team (and Harry, remember he has agency too) are diminishing the most interesting stories he can tell about his life. After reading the article and his comments, I can't figure out why he agreed to do MP if he was going to promote it this way. In an effort to not be vulnerable, he looks like an asshole.

From my professional perspective, Harry is in a really odd place. I think his personal desires do not coincide with his professional desires. As he continues to duck and dive any vulnerable parts of his life, he becomes increasingly disingenuous and uninteresting. I think Harry has to change the way he interacts with the world and his fans. He either needs to commit to the public narrative he is telling or he needs to change the narrative. Maybe this article response will be a wake up call for his team. I kind of doubt it. I would be interested to hear other's thoughts too.
