In 2022, Maya Henry and Liam Payne called off their engagement. It appears that their affair served as the inspiration for the former model’s book, which was based on “true events.” Before his tragic death in Argentina on Wednesday, Liam Payne and his ex-fiancee Maya Henry did not get along, which is hardly surprising.
A source close to the influencer told the DailyMail that she is “obviously in shock” over the One Direction alum’s death after an accidental fall from the third story of a hotel room in Buenos Aires, despite the fact that his ex has not yet directly commented on his terrible demise.
Liam Payne, a British singer and songwriter, poses on the red carpet on February 17, 2020, before the 2020 Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony in Berlin. According to Buenos Aires police, British musician Liam Payne, a former member of the band One Direction, passed away on Wednesday at the age of 31 after falling from the third storey of a hotel in Argentina.
Payne and the model got into a legal dispute in the weeks before his death. A representative for the 23-year-old Henry told The Sun on Monday that she had sent him a cease and desist letter last week “after new and concerning information surfaced.” “She has hired lawyers Marco Crawford and Daniel Cerna to represent her,” the representative continued.
Couple get separated in 2022
Two years after the One Direction breakout star proposed to her, Henry and Payne parted ways in 2022. Following the model’s charges of adultery against the 31-year-old musician, their engagement came to an end. Following his passing on October 16, a person familiar with Payne’s hardships told PEOPLE that he “was overwhelmed by all of the legal issues.”
Henry reportedly took legal action against her ex in retaliation to Payne’s alleged constant contact with her. The Texas-based model described in a video on October 6 how Payne’s incessant texts were causing her distress. She started by saying, “He has been messaging me ever since we broke up, and he will blow up my phone.”
“Every time I see a new one appear on my phone, I’m like, ‘Oh here we go again,'” she claimed, accusing him of using different phone numbers and accounts to contact her. She criticized the alleged actions of her ex-partner, saying that the 1D star even “blew up” his mother’s phone. She further claimed that he had “weaponized” his fandom against her. Henry’s comments were made months after she published her book.
Henry cited the friend’s message, saying, “If something happens to him, not only are you going to blame yourself, but the whole world is going to blame you.”
According to earlier accounts, Henry also described him as “toxic,” claiming that he frequently uttered sexist statements. Speaking of his relationship with Kate Cassidy, Maya stated that she knew “firsthand the kind of toxic environment she’s living in currently.”
