Louis Tomlinson airport brawl girl ‘reveals her side in emotional Instagram message to One Direction fans’
THE girl reportedly caught up in Louis Tomlinson’s airport brawl has given her side of the story in an emotional Instagram post.
In a message to One Direction fans she claimed she had "done nothing wrong" during the row at LAX which saw Louis arrested - before turning her profile to private after receiving a torrent of abuse.
Since The Sun Online revealed the extent of the fracas - which saw Louis charged with simple battery and a misdemeanour - the girl has been inundated with death threats from the 1D star's fans.
Louis has since claimed he was merely trying to protect his girlfriend Eleanor Calder.
In the Instagram post she claims she is trying to "set the record straight".
She writes: “I would like to send out an official statement of what happened. Everyone is sending me hate for reasons which are NOT true. This is what happened.
“Me and my friend were at the airport and heard a commotion and yelling. My friend looks back and sees that it’s Louis and he is arguing with a person with a camera (paparazzi).

“We started freaking out because we were massive fans of One Direction and couldn’t believe we were seeing him.
“I got my phone out to record him because things like this only happen once in a lifetime. But a few seconds later this girl (which I later realised was Eleanor) comes up to me and pushes the phone out of my hand and tells me to ‘stop f***ing recording’.
“I got angry because she had no right to try taking my phone away from me when I wasn’t even doing anything bad and my friend pushed her out of the way and accidentally into the wall and that’s I guess what Louis saw and when he came running to us.
“When he came over Eleanor pretended to act as if we were trying to fight her and acted if she was the victim.”
Louis, 25, has also given his side of the story to his pals, insisting he was only trying to protect Eleanor – who he saw pushed up against a wall.
A source told : “The video from the incident shows what really happened and tells the story.
“Those girls were attacking Eleanor and Louis rushed in and pushed them away.
“He is adamant everything he did was to protect his girlfriend and that is what he has been telling his friends.”
The singer's friend Steve Aoki has also defended Louis and called it a “wrongful arrest”.
Piers Morgan also showed his support for the star on Good Morning Britain today, saying: "He was just defending his girlfriend."
Louis is set to appear in court on March 29.
