After Maya Henry reportedly filed a cease and desist letter against her ex-fiancé, Liam Payne, days before his October 2024 death, fans are curious about her allegations.
Why Did Maya Henry File a Cease and Desist Against Liam Payne?
Maya accused the One Direction star of obsessive contact and the cease and desist was served by her lawyers on October 14, 2024, according to the Daily Mail.
“Maya Henry issued a cease and desist last week to Liam Payne following the emergence of new and concerning information,” their statement to the outlet read. “She has retained attorneys Marco Crawford and Daniel Cerna to represent her. At this time, that is her only comment on the matter.”
Earlier that month, Maya told her TikTok followers that Liam was “weaponizing” his large fanbase against her.
“Ever since we broke up, he messages me, will blow up my phone, not only from his phone number, it’s always from different phone numbers too, so I never know where it’s gonna come from,” she alleged in a video clip. “He’ll create new iCloud accounts to iMessage me — it’s always a damn new iCloud account. Every time I see one pop up on my phone I’m like, ‘Here we f–king go again.’”
In addition, she claimed that Liam wouldn’t stop at just contacting her, but went as far as “blowing up” her mom’s phone.
New allegations surrounding the cease and desist letter surfaced one month after Liam’s October 16, 2024, death. Maya accused Liam of sending her and her family inappropriate photos and said he was allegedly “performing disturbing sexual acts on himself” in the images, according to documents obtained by The Post on November 12, 2024.
Maya also claimed that Liam attempted to send “intimate images” of her to other people, per the report.
Who Is Maya Henry?
Maya is a model and the daughter of Texas-based personal injury lawyer Thomas J. Henry. Maya and Liam started dating in 2018 and two years later they took the next step by getting engaged in 2020. However, the pair ultimately went their separate ways in 2022.
Maya later released a fictional book “based on true events” in May 2024 about a model who fell in love with a member of a popular boy band that was assembled on a TV show. Toward the end of the book, the model found her boyfriend in the middle of a drug-fueled breakdown as he threatened to jump off a balcony. The book has drawn eerie comparisons to Liam’s death.
What Happened to Liam Payne?
Liam was 31 years old when he died after he fell from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 16, 2024.
Prior to his passing, a hotel employee called 911 to report that a guest — who was not identified as Liam – had “overindulged on drugs and alcohol.” The staff member added, “When he is conscious he breaks, he is breaking the whole room. Well, we need you to send someone, please.”
Liam was dead by the time authorities arrived on the scene. Buenos Aires police said that Liam’s fall from the balcony resulted in “extremely serious injuries” and medics confirmed his death on the spot.
His partial autopsy later determined that he had pink cocaine, cocaine, benzodiazepine and crack in his system at the time of his death.
