Maya Henry, the ex-fiancée of former One Direction star Liam Payne, recently accused him of obsessive contact, escalating tensions just days before his tragic passing. According to reports from the Daily Mail, Henry’s legal team dispatched a cease-and-desist letter to Payne regarding what they described as alarming behavior.
The statement from Henry’s attorneys noted that she sought legal measures after discovering more unsettling information. They confirmed that she has engaged lawyers Marco Crawford and Daniel Cerna for this matter, though further commentary was not provided.
Days leading up to his untimely death, Payne was said to be “extremely overwhelmed” by the legal issues arising from the relationship fallout. In a TikTok video earlier this month, Henry alleged that Payne resorted to extreme measures to get in touch with her, claiming he would frequently barrage her and her family with messages and calls.
She detailed the extent of his attempts, stating he even created new iCloud accounts to reach her, making it difficult for her to anticipate when his messages would come through. Henry remarked, “It’s always a different phone number and every time I see one pop up on my phone, I think, ‘Here we go again.’”
Their highly-publicized relationship began in 2018, following Payne’s breakup with Cheryl Cole. The couple became engaged in 2020, but their engagement was called off in April 2022 after allegations of infidelity surfaced.
Tragically, Payne passed away at the age of 31 after a fall from the third floor of his hotel in Argentina. Witnesses reported the incident at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, though the circumstances surrounding the fall remain ambiguous—whether it was accidental or intentional has yet to be established.
This unfolding drama surrounding Liam Payne and Maya Henry not only adds complexity to their personal histories but also casts a shadow over the singer’s legacy as fans mourn his loss.
