Zayn Malik had quite the dramatic night…sans shirt.

The former One Direction star got into a confrontation this week outside a bar in New York City, according to video obtained by TMZ. Sources described as being “close to the situation” told TMZ, the “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” singer was outside the Amsterdam Billiards Club in the East Village when a group of men allegedly picked a fight with Zayn.

E! News has not authenticated the footage. Zayn’s rep did not return request for comment.

It wasn’t exactly “pillow talk” between Zayn and the men: While no one was hurt in the confrontation, one of the men reportedly shouted a homophobic slur at the new dad, who just welcomed his first child with girlfriend Gigi Hadid last September. The artist, who recently expressed distain for the Grammys after his latest album, Nobody Is Listening, did not score any nominations, also spewed some insults back, per TMZ. 

According to TMZ, police were not involved in the incident.

Gigi Hadid & Zayn Malik’s Cutest Quotes

An employee at the Amsterdam Billiards Club told E! News, “We can’t control what happens on the street, we can just control what happens inside and Zayn was having a great time. It was a nice, calm evening until he stepped outside to leave.”

Additionally, the individual described Zayn as a “total gentleman” who was “respectful to the staff.”

Oddly enough, Zayn was shirtless during the time of the altercation, wearing only white and black sweatpants. It’s unclear why he took off the matching sweatshirt he was wearing earlier in the evening.

This isn’t the only time a situation involving Zayn has caused a stir recently. A comment made by Zayn’s “To Begin Again” duet partner Ingrid Michaelson caused major confusion amongst the former boy bander’s fans, as she claimed he and Gigi were married. The singer-songwriter quickly clearly up the comment. 

“So, I should be asleep, but it’s been a crazy hour, hour and a half,” she said in an Instagram Story back in March. “On my Patreon live stream, I said that I’m working with Zayn. I mentioned that he was married, and he’s not married. As far as I know, he’s not married. It was a mistake. I’m so sorry, I said I was sorry. I don’t live in this world. So the level of fame, it makes me really, truly admire Zayn and anybody with that level of fame. Every little thing you say is just, Wow! I’m not built for it.”

Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Alli Dore Teases Explosive Confrontation With Gary King

In an exclusive chat with E! News, Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Alli Dore opened up about confronting Gary King and her new relationship.

Batten down the hatches because drama is a brewing on Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

In an exclusive chat with E! News, season two star Alli Dore teased her upcoming confrontation with former fling Gary King on the Bravo hit. As fans of the show well know, the preview for the June 7 episode showed the stewardess exploding at the first mate for flirting with a topless Sydney Zaruba. Why? Well, because Alli had called things off with Gary out of respect for Sydney’s feelings, only to have her own feelings disrespected.

“The episode where I snap is not my finest moment,” she told E! News. “And I feel really disappointed in that. It was just an emotional experience. From the very start, it was this push and pull, this game-playing, these mind games, and I guess I fell for it. I sort of believed that things were different to what they actually turned out to be.”

On how she was feeling leading into the fight, Alli said she “felt a little foolish,” which caused her to get emotional. Understandably, the teaser of this fight was “definitely hard to watch” for the Australian yachtie.

Still, after all the drama, Alli believes that she and Gary had real feelings for one another. “I genuinely really liked him, and I know he genuinely really liked me,” she shared. “In the ‘breakup,’ I say in quotations, that you see that.”

Regarding her decision to halt their fling, Alli defended that was “a fair negotiation,” especially since she had just learned about Gary and Sydney’s previous one-night stand. “But he was quite gutted,” she added. “And it definitely showed that his feelings were true.”

Nonetheless, Alli said she was “absolutely surprised” by Gary’s post-split behavior. “I didn’t think that I deserved that type of disrespect, especially when I’m in a situation where I’m trying to respect someone else,” she sounded off. “And then, on top of it, you’re gonna use her to get back at me out of spite. The whole thing was quite shocking to me.”

Clearly, Alli and Gary did not come back from this situation as the stewardess is now happily dating someone else. On her relationship with boyfriend Benny Thompson, Alli said she’s “never been loved like this.”
