Liam Payne’s ex Maya Henry accused singer of obsessive contact, began legal action against him days before his death

Liam Payne’s ex Maya Henry reportedly accused the former One Direction singer of repeatedly contacting her and her family members days before his death.

The model’s lawyers issued a cease-and-desist letter to her ex-fiancé on her behalf, the Daily Mail reported on Monday.

“Maya Henry issued a cease and desist last week to Liam Payne following the emergence of new and concerning information,” her legal team told the outlet.

“She has retained attorneys Marco Crawford and Daniel Cerna to represent her. At this time, that is her only comment on the matter.”

Page Six has reached out to Henry’s reps for comment.

Earlier this month, the 23-year-old claimed in a TikTok video that Payne had gone to several extremes to contact her after their bitter breakup, including “weaponizing” his 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,” Henry alleged.

“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—ing go again.’”

She further claimed, “Also, [he] will email me … not only me, but he’ll blow up my mom’s phone. Is that normal behavior to you?”

The former couple began dating in 2018 after Payne called it quits with Cheryl Cole.

He went on to propose to Henry in 2020, but they ended their engagement in April 2022 after she claimed he cheated on her.

Payne died at age 31 on Wednesday after reportedly falling from the third floor of his hotel room in Argentina.

Several witnesses at CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires confirmed the fall to TMZ, who reported the singer’s body was discovered on the hotel’s wooden deck.

It remains unclear whether the fall was accidental or intentional.
