Derry teenager receives death threats after admitting she threw water over One Direction's Niall Horan
A 15-year-old Derry girl has received death threats after she admitted throwing water over One Direction star Niall Horan during a concert in Belfast last week.
The singer was hit by a small amount of water which was thrown on the stage while he was playing an electric guitar during the band’s concert at the SSE Arena on Thursday night.
There was a huge reaction to the incident amid claims that he could have been electrocuted.
A young Derry girl has admitted that it was her that threw the water.
Levi Temple, who was at the concert with friends, has apologised for her actions.
She said she had intended to throw the water at Louis Tomlinson, another member of the band, who had been throwing water over some of the audience.
Levi said she was ‘extremely sorry’ and stressed that she would never harm Niall, who she described as her ‘idol’.
However, after admitting being responsible for throwing the water, Levi’s mother, Michelle, said she had received death threats on social media.
“She had a great time and was still buzzing on Friday morning until she logged into her twitter and realized that the whole world had started a hate campaign against her because she threw water on the stage and some had hit Niall Horan,” said Michelle.
“The actual fact of the throwing water occurred because Louis had started throwing water around her and her friends and she as well as others had took this to be a game and threw some back.
“My daughter is extremely distraught from this incident and is receiving death threats and hate mail from all over the world.
“As a mother of a 15-year-old diehard 1D fan, I am extremely concerned for her well-being as she has refused to leave the house since this all started.
“Myself and Levi want all this to stop and because she loves 1D so much she wants Niall and the rest of the band to know that this has been blew out of proportion and she would never in her wildest dreams want to hurt any of them.”
