Who is Liam Payne’s ex-fiancée, Maya Henry – and why was she taking legal action against him? The influencer met the 1D alum at a Dolce & Gabbana event and later wrote a book ‘inspired by true events’
Last week, 23-year-old Maya Henry reportedly issued a cease-and-desist order against the late One Direction star Liam Payne; the couple dated on and off for 4 years between 2018 and 2022
One Direction fans around the world have been in mourning since it was announced that former member Liam Payne had died in Argentina after falling from his hotel balcony on October 16.
Since the news broke, media outlets and the band’s followers have been digging into his past to try to understand what happened in the days leading up to his death. Among their discoveries is the fact that Payne was embroiled in legal issues with his ex-fiancée, Maya Henry.
In an eight-minute video shared to TikTok on October 6, Henry talked about her ex and how he had allegedly been contacting her. “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,” she said.
“Also, he will email me … not only me, but he’ll blow up my mum’s phone. Is this normal behaviour to you?” she added.
Earlier this week, she spoke about the situation again in an interview on The Internet is Dead podcast. “He would always message me ever since we broke up [saying], ‘Oh, I’m not well,’” she claimed. “He would always play with death and be like, ‘Well, I’m going to die. I’m not doing well.’”
