One Direction Should 'Kick' Zayn Malik Out of the Band, Says Talk Show Host Wendy Williams

Talk show host Wendy Williams has some advice to the British boy group One Direction: "Kick" Zayn Malik out of the band.

"He's done it before. This is not his first time...Here's what I think, One Direction, One Direction fans and anyone else who cares...I feel as though if you can do five-part harmony, it's just as easy to do four-part harmony...I say kick this guy out of the group because now, that's more money for the rest of us. We don't have to split our money five ways," the host said on Monday's "Wendy Williams Show" (via E! Online).

Malik earlier left the band's "On the Road Again" world tour to fly back to UK to recuperate from stress after an alleged cheating scandal. "Zayn has been signed off with stress and is flying back to the UK to recuperate. The band wish him well and will continue with their performances in Manila and Jakarta," the official statement posted by the group's publicist, Simon Jones of Hackford PR, reads.

People and Us Weekly earlier confirmed that Malik's departure was in a way caused by the recent cheating allegations thrown on him. There were earlier rumors that the 22-year old singer has been cheating on his fiancee, Perrie Edwards. Photos of him getting a little cozy with a blonde girl identified as Lauren Rich have also earlier circulated online. But Us Weekly's source emphasized that the singer did not do anything wrong and did not cheat on Edwards.

Despite her comments, Williams made it clear that she is in no way against the singer and that she admires him for telling the truth about what he feels. But if he really wants to go back to the way things go before, then it should be necessary to let him go.

"I admire him for standing in his own truth, which is that being a celebrity-particularly as a young person-it's a lot and all he wants to do is go back and live a normal life...I appreciate people who stand in their own truths so if this is what this guy wants, kick him out of the band."

On the brighter side of things, mental health experts have earlier commended Malik for his "frank" decision to air what he really feels. Dr. Sandi Mann of University of Central Lancashire was quoted in the Independent report as saying that being a celebrity indeed results in a lot of stress. Contrary to what many people think, celebrities go under "different pressures," Mann said.

Dr. Georgina M. Hosang of Goldsmiths University further said that a being a celebrity singer is a demanding career path -- eats more time and productivity, results in lack of sleep, plus there is the criticisms which may likely affect one's mood and self-esteem.
