Liam Payne's ex Maya Henry accused him of obsessive contact ...
Liam Payne’s ex-fiancée Maya Henry accused the former One Direction star of “weaponizing” his fans against her only two days before he died.
In a cease and desist sent to the late singer by Henry’s lawyers, the model, 23, accused Payne of repeatedly contacting her and obsessively contacting her friends and family, according to Daily Mail.
“Maya Henry issued a cease and desist last week to Liam Payne following the emergence of new and concerning information,” Henry’s lawyers told Daily Mail.
The pair dated on and off for three years and got engaged in 2020. However, they called it quits almost a year later in 2021.
In a TikTok video posted on Oct. 6, Henry shared alarming details about Payne’s alleged behavior.
“Ever since we broke up he messages me, will blow up my phone, not only from his phone, it’s always from different phone numbers too, so I never know where it’s gonna come from,” Henry said.
“He’ll create new iCloud accounts to message me – it’s always a new damn iCloud account. Every time I see one pop up on my phone I’m like, ‘here we f–kng go again.'”
Henry added, “Also, he will email me… not only me, but he’ll blow up my mom’s phone. Is this normal behavior to you?”
She continued, “He’s the one that is constantly doing weird s–t, and also might I add, he literally said the reason he has all these people on his damn Snapchat, which he has had for years apparently, and messages, is he preys on One Direction fans because they’re loyal to him.”
Shortly after Henry and Payne ended their engagement, Payne said he was at fault for the breakdown in their relationship.
“I feel like more than anything at this point, I’m more disappointed in myself that I keep on hurting people,” Payne said on Stephen Bartlett’s Diary Of A CEO podcast in 2021.
“That annoys me. I’ve just not been very good at relationships. And I know what my pattern of things is with relationships at this point.”
He continued, “That’s where I got to in my last relationship. I just wasn’t giving a very good version of me anymore, that I didn’t appreciate and I didn’t like being. I can honestly say I feel better out of it.
“I didn’t feel good doing what I did but it had to happen. Just a corny way to say it was the best for us both.”
Payne died on Wednesday, Oct. 16, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He reportedly fell from a balcony of the CasaSur Palermo hotel, where he was staying. He was 31.
According to TMZ, the star was acting “erratic” earlier in the day and allegedly smashed his laptop in the hotel lobby.
He had been active on social media earlier in the day, posting photos and videos on Snapchat, though it’s unclear when the images were taken.
Payne rose to fame after joining the boy band in 2010 along with Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles. One Direction began splitting in 2015 after Malik left the group to pursue a solo career.
The group went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016.
