Zayn Malik has lost another important woman in his life, as his longtime manager Sarah Stennett has dropped him amid claims that he’s “difficult to work with.” Click through for all the details.
Variety has reported that Sarah has dropped Zayn, whose second solo album is due in June. The two have worked together since he left the boy band One Direction back in 2015.
She confirmed the split to Variety, saying "Sometimes in life you have to make extremely difficult decisions to effect positive change for everyone.” Sarah happens to be quite the powerful player in Hollywood, as her company also reps big names like Rita Ora and Bebe Rexha.
So what was the reason for terminating the relationship when his new album is about to drop? Looks like he may be the one to blame as sources alleged that he ruffled many feathers at Sarah’s management company, First Access Entertainment.

They claim that he’s "challenging to work with, declining many promotional opportunities and not touring behind his last album.” He did have a change of heart, however, since he’s been preparing to tour and promote his newest untitled album. But that wasn’t enough for him and his management company, and they still decided to drop him.
It’s been a tough year for the "Pillowtalk" singer, since he also went through a rough breakup with longtime girlfriend Gigi Hadid in March and has undergone several physical transformations since their split. Is this professional breakup too much for Zayn to rebound from, or will his latest album help get him back into a positive spotlight?
