“It made Louis so upset, it was clear there was no way he would ever return to filming with Zayn," a source said.

According to the Sun, Netflix had hoped the two would reconcile after the incident — which was said to have occurred six months ago — but when that didn't happen, the streamer ultimately pulled the series.

Neither Zayn, Louis, nor Netflix has publicly addressed the claims. However, People reports that Louis appears to have unfollowed Zayn on Instagram, and that two of his sisters did the same. For his part, Zayn still follows Louis on the app.

Meanwhile, the project's director, Nicola Marsh, appeared to acknowledge the situation on Instagram.
