Niall Horan, Airport Rant: One Direction Member Calls Fans Horrible Name (VIDEO)

Niall Horan may be a baby-faced 18-year-old, but don't let the kid fool you! The One Direction member's latest interaction with fans has revealed he's got quite a nasty side -- and a foul mouth! A new YouTube video shows the singer arriving at Dublin Airport in his native Ireland on Monday (June 2) to a small group of young female fans, who he promptly calls a pretty offensive expletive.

"Remember the last time I walked down here?" Niall asked as he passed by the girls who were patiently waiting for a photo-op with their teen idol and hoping he would wish one of them happy birthday. "You shower of c--ts!" he shouts. Wow! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth, young man?

Horan's publicist, Simon Jones, has spoken out in defense of the pop star's nasty name calling, telling The Sun it was "clearly a joke." The owner of the home video apparently agrees, describing the teen heartthrob's behavior as "banter." However a commenter on the video insists, "It's not fair to say that this is simply Irish banter. I'm Irish and would consider this an insult ... Stop trying to defend your idols."

Niall later took to his Twitter page to address the backlash. "Really sorry if I caused any offense," he wrote. "It was just banter with fans who I think of more as mates. But I understand that it's not a word I should be using at all."

Do you find Niall's words offensive? Do you accept his apology? Watch the video below and let us know what you think on Twitter, @aolmusic!

Wow, I didn't even see anything wrong. It was so fast, I can't believe anyone even cared. Media is crazy, and he wished her happy birthday, didn't he? I think if those girls had been Oh So Offended, they would have left crying or something, but they just kept chasing after him, so who cares?

Niall should not have said that being in the public eye but I think you could see that it was only a bit of banter and he was jokeing but here in Ireland I see this between Irish teens all the time it's only a bit of banter, I myself am Irish and the other day I called my co worker a little bol..x we both knew I was only messing, people need to calm down.

The more his "publicist" enables this spoiled brat the worse he's going to get. Don't insult the public by lying to them in this matter. A joke? This kid is a joke and what he should have had years ago was a few trips out to the woodshed. Now it's too late. If there's one thing in Hollywood and acting you do NOT do is insult your fans and the public. Without them you are NOTHING! He won't be able to believe how fast he can slide into a has-been if he keeps this up.

This young fellow needs a chaperone and somebody to help him keep his filthy mouth shut





























This young fellow needs a chaperone and somebody to help him keep his filty mouth shut! Barring that, the law should step in and show him how to act in public.
