Liam Payne, former member of One Direction, faced numerous personal struggles before his tragic death at the age of 31. According to reports, he struggled with his sexuality and engaged in intimate exchanges with men while in a relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Maya Henry. After their breakup, Henry received unwanted explicit images and videos from Payne, prompting her to seek legal action to stop such behavior.

Henry also revealed that Payne pressured her into having an abortion in 2020, giving her an ultimatum: either terminate the pregnancy and continue their relationship or raise the child alone without his involvement. She stated that his addiction to drugs and alcohol had a negative impact on their relationship, turning him into an “unrecognizable” person.

On the night of his death, Payne consumed alcohol, cocaine, and antidepressants. He fell from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in Buenos Aires, sustaining fatal injuries. The investigation determined that he was unconscious at the time of the fall, and several individuals were charged with supplying him with drugs.
