Devastated One Direction fans have turned their wrath to Little Mix band member Perrie Edwards, Zayn Malik’s fiancée, calling her the "Yoko Ono of 1D".

Because Zayn Malik’s reasons for leaving the band, given in a statement along with one from the other band members, weren't good enough to placate One Directioners, many have decided that Edwards is to blame for the worst thing to ever happen to them.

Fortunately Simon Cowell was there to offer some words of wisdom.

Deep.

Malik and Edwards have been engaged since August 2013.

22-year-old Malik flew home from the band’s scheduled world tour appearances in Asia last week after signing off with stress, and announced his official departure from the band on 25 March.
