Tomlinson is a compulsive liar. He has been SWATed, he does have insane and cruel stalkers, but he was not SWATed 47 times. He lies about this because he gets instant media attention.

He attempted to hire Torswats on himself, who provided receipts proving the attempt. When confronted, rather than denying it, he said a forum had cloned his SIM card, in a way that was not possible.

Tomlinson is extremely litigious and has threatened to sue people who have brought this to light.
