VIDEO : Cheryl Cole Slams Rumors About Reason For Liam Payne Split

Cheryl Cole confronted reports that her mother, Joan Callaghan, influenced her split from Liam Payne.

?I hate responding to stuff esp at such difficult times but I cannot sit here and listen to such nasty, false articles regarding my mam. I don?t know why they involve her in stores about me. I can assure you she has absolutely nothing to do with any of it. I am a grown woman who is capable of dealing with my own life. She is a soft and kind woman who doesn?t deserve to be dragged into something that has nothing whatsoever to do with her.?

Cole?s statement comes one day after she and Payne revealed their split.

The couple share a child, Bear, who is 13 months old.
