In a recent statement to TMZ, the former "One Direction" member says he "adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid." He mentioned that he declined to give further details about the incident for the sake of his daughter.

"In an effort to protect that space for her I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner's who entered our home." he added.
