Troy Austin, father of 1D's Louis, has threaten to tear his son's life apart if the kid does not take him back. The 46-year-old father has not spoken to his son for the past three years. Their last conversation was when they had an angry phone call.
A source said that Troy wanted to be a father to Louis once again. But if Louis does not give him a chance, he is ready to expose something about his son that will totally ruin the kid's career and/or career. Blackmailing seems like the father's final shot at getting his son to take him back. Although he knows that it will only make things worse, he feels that he has not anything left to lose. Even though this would only make it more impossible for Louis to take him back, Troy feels like there is no other option left for him to take.
Louis never got a chance to be a son to Troy. He was only days old when Louis' parents broke up. Things became worse for their father-son relationship when the 1D member took the last name of his stepfather.
Even though most people would think that Troy only wants to get a glimpse of the popstar's millions, he insists that his reason for forcing himself into his child's life is his extreme desire to be a grandfather for his son's child (there are speculations that Briana Jungwirth is pregnant with Louis' baby).
Troy told the media that he wants to be involved in his grandchild's life. He says that he already missed a large part of Louis' life, so he wants to make up for that through the kid's child.
The story of Troy and Louis feels like a typical movie about family. Typically, these kinds of stories end well. But what makes Troy and Louis' case different is the ironic presence of the element of blackmail.
