The former One Direction star, Liam Payne, has died at the age of 31 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The singer’s tragic death comes a few days after his ex-girlfriend Maya Henry issued a cease and desist letter against Payne. She made several allegations against the Strip That Down singer, sharing that he repeatedly tried to contact her over the phone.
After Payne’s death, Henry’s comments have brought her online abuse from fans. In one of the recent interviews, Henry mentioned that Payne used to play with death and would tell her that he was going to die. Payne did not respond to the accusations before his death.
Maya Henry Earlier Shared That Liam Payne Used To Tell Her That He Was Going To Die
Liam Payne‘s death has brought all the attention to his ex-girlfriend Maya Henry, who spoke out against the singer last week. Henry shared on her socials about how Payne tried to contact her friends and family obsessively. She had also issued a cease and desist letter to Payne a few days earlier after accusing him of using One Direction fans to attack her.
In a recent conversation with Sameera Rachakonda and Brittany Deitch on The Internet is Dead podcast, Henry shared that Payne’s phone calls to her had turned extreme. She shared that it all felt like a manipulation tactic to her, sharing that she would then feel bad for him. Henry shared that Payne used to play with death and would message her, saying that he was not doing well and was going to die. She shared (via X):
I always felt like it was a manipulation tactic to keep me. I don’t know. It’s kind of complicated. But I always felt like it was so that I could continue to feel bad for him. And because he would always message me ever since we broke up, ‘Oh, I’m not well.’ He would always play with death and be like, ‘I’m gonna die. I’m not doing well.’
Henry also added that Payne would send messages to her mother Azteca Henry, asking her to have Maya contact him. Henry’s comments over the last couple of weeks have come under brutal social media bashing following the pop star’s death. However, Henry could’ve never anticipated the singer’s sudden death and is reportedly “in shock” over the tragic news.
A source told The Daily Mail after the news of Payne’s death that she found out about it only when a member of her team was contacted by a reporter. The source added, “Right now she is obviously in shock.” Henry sure doesn’t deserve the current online hate against her.
Was Liam Payne’s Death An Accident?
According to Reuters, Liam Payne was found dead in the interior patio of his hotel in Buenos Aires. Argentine police have stated that he fell from his third-floor room balcony. The capitol police reached the hotel upon a call from the hotel staff about an “aggressive man who could be under the effects of drugs and alcohol.”
Emergency workers confirmed his death and removed his body from the hotel to take him to the morgue. Alberto Crescenti, the director of Emergency medical services, told local media that the singer had suffered serious injuries and added that an autopsy would be carried out (via BBC).
Fans of the One Direction star gathered around the hotel after the news began spreading. A few days back, Payne attended the concert of his former bandmate Niall Horan in Buenos Aires. Payne has been open about his struggles with mental health and using alcohol as a coping mechanism. Hours before the incident, Payne took to Snapchat to comment about his lovely day in Argentina.
