Liam Payne Death: What Were Ex-Fiancee Maya Henry’s Recent Allegations Against Former One Direction Star About? Explained

Oct 17, 2024 · 8:33 AM Blog

Trigger Warning: This article contains mention of death, drugs, and harassment.

Liam Payne’s former partner, Maya Henry, has reacted after the shocking demise of the former One Direction band member who passed away at 31. Payne allegedly fell off the suite’s balcony at a hotel in Argentina. This comes just days after Henry filed a lawsuit against the singer alleging psychological abuse and harassment.

“She is understandably in shock,” Henry’s representative told the Daily Mail.

Payne was in Buenos Aires to support former bandmate Niall Horan at his concert. He apparently fell off from the third floor of the Hotel CasaSur located in Palermo.

This incident took place right after legal disputes began between Henry and the 1D star. As per The Sun, just two days before the incident occurred, Henry’s lawyers sent a letter of the order to cease and desist because Payne continued to contact her and her family after their separation, which was annoying her greatly.

In that lawsuit, Henry accused Payne of various abusive behaviors, the details of which she disseminated through one of her popular videos on TikTok. In the video, she accused Payne of contacting her through different phone numbers and I-Cloud as well and suggested that he used the goodwill of his followers to cover up activities that were not appropriate for him.

Henry revealed in the video, “Ever since we broke up, he messages me, blows up my phone, always from different phone numbers.”

She claimed, “He’ll create new iCloud accounts to message me. He’s the one that is constantly doing weird shit. He says that he preys on One Direction fans because they will always be loyal to him and they won’t tell on him.”

After three years of dating with intervals, their relationship ended in May 2022. Henry, daughter of attorney Thomas J. Henry, has now accused Payne of bullying not only her but the whole family. This was also confirmed by the legal team of Marco Crawford and Daniel Cerna, who represented her, saying that the cease and desist letter was issued soon after other concerning information came to light.

Rising to global stardom as a member of One Direction between 2010 and 2015, Liam Payne had recently quit his management and abandoned plans for a second solo record. He had also been candid with respect to past drug abuse and addictions, for instance in 2021 he mentioned thinking that “the pills and booze phase” put him into a tough personal and physical place.

Radhika Apte is embracing a beautiful new chapter as she prepares for motherhood! The actress, who married British music composer Benedict Taylor in 2012, is now expecting her first child. The exciting news came as a delightful surprise when she made a stunning appearance at the UK premiere of her film Sister Midnight on October 17.

Radhika Apte graced the red carpet in a chic black bodycon dress with an off-shoulder design, styled to perfection with a sleek bun and minimal accessories like earrings and rings. Her dark lipstick added a bold touch to the look, which beautifully complemented the outfit. Radiating with an undeniable pregnancy glow, she proudly showcased her baby bump for the first time, leaving fans thrilled. Up until this moment, she had kept her pregnancy under wraps, making this public reveal even more special.

Take a look below!

Radhika Apte’s pregnancy glow stole the spotlight in the photos she shared on Instagram. Fans flooded the comments with excitement and congratulations. American actor and writer Sarah Megan Thomas joined in, writing, “Omg Radhika congrats! You look stunning.”

One fan exclaimed, “Ah! Congrats on the premiere and your pregnancy! You are magnificent on the red carpet!” Another added, “Omg!!! She’s pregnant, how exciting!” while a different commenter wrote, “Congratulations girl! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy! Love your work!”

The actress is known for keeping her private life out of the public eye, to the point where some were unaware of her marriage until her baby bump photos surfaced. She has been with British violinist and composer Benedict Taylor since 2012. Their relationship began in 2011 when Radhika was in London for a dance sabbatical, leading them to move in together shortly after. They had an intimate wedding in 2012, followed by a formal ceremony in 2013.

Earlier, in an interview with India Today, Radhika Apte shared a quirky anecdote about her wedding, revealing that neither she nor her husband, Benedict Taylor, took any photos during the ceremony. Despite having a close circle of friends who are photographers, capturing moments wasn’t on anyone’s mind. The couple organized a simple, do-it-yourself celebration in Northern England, handling the cooking and arrangements themselves, surrounded by friends. It was a fun and memorable gathering, but with no pictures to look back on.

Meanwhile, on the work front, she recently made a brief appearance in Merry Christmas, directed by Sriram Raghavan and featuring Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi. She is also set to star in the revenge thriller series Akka alongside Keerthy Suresh, marking a project from YRF Entertainment and directed by newcomer Dharmaraj Shetty.

Her film Sister Midnight, a unique comedy about a discontented newlywed discovering wild tendencies that lead to unexpected events, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Additionally, she is eagerly anticipating the release of her upcoming English-language film, Last Days.
