More details are starting to emerge surrounding Zayn Malik‘s sudden departure from the One Direction tour.

The 22-year-old member reportedly didn’t take well to the rumors of him cheating on fiance Perrie Edwards.

“It all stems from photos that hit yesterday of him with a fan which caused huge problems with his girlfriend, Perrie,” a source told People. “The media accused him of cheating and he exploded over it. He’s had enough of the constant craziness.”

The source added, “Zayn is exhausted and just needs a break. Out of everyone of the boys, he’s the one who struggles dealing with being in the spotlight the most. He can’t cope with the level of scrutiny he gets put under. He’s just 22.”
