Though Celebrity Big Brother and The Apprentice reality star Luisa Zissman isn't a big fan of One Direction, she recently came to the defense of members Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik amidst the current pot smoking viral video scandal. Zissman feels for the boy band singers, explaining that what they did was not a big deal and that they are at the age to do such things.

"I feel a bit sorry for Zayn [Malik] and Louis [Tomlinson]," the entrepreneur and reality star wrote in her Daily Star column this week. "They are two young guys doing what many young guys do... and breaking no laws at the time. Thankfully for them, puffing weed (or 'Mary J' as they like to call it) is legal in Peru where the scandal kicked off, so technically weren't doing anything wrong."

She added: "I seriously don't like One Direction but I feel bad for them ... Spliff-gate is part of them growing up. Hopefully they will learn that if they do want to do something that is going to be judged as wrong they should definitely do it behind closed doors and not film it on their phone (duhhh)."

Also in her column, Zissman addressed her past Twitter incident with Tomlinson, which ended poorly for her.

"[His] mindless tweet about me while I was in CBB lead to death threats - thanks for that, babe," she said.

Even though she had a bad experience with One Direction fans, she still feels bad for the young boys who are constantly under the prying eye of the public.
