In a shocking legal claim, Liam Payne, the former One Direction member, is accused of sending explicit photos and videos to his ex-girlfriend, Maya Henry, and her family just before his tragic death. A cease-and-desist letter, sent by Henry’s legal team only a week before Payne’s death in Buenos Aires on October 16, 2024, revealed disturbing allegations. The letter states that the singer “repeatedly sent unwanted and explicit images” to Henry and her family, including sexually explicit photos and videos.

Explicit Images and Videos: Disturbing Harassment

The legal notice provided by Maya Henry’s lawyers accuses Liam Payne of sending explicit and disturbing images, including genital pictures and videos of himself performing sexual acts. These actions, deemed a form of harassment, were allegedly repeated on multiple occasions. In addition to this, the notice claims Payne took active steps to distribute private, intimate material of Henry, allegedly contacting third parties to share these images without her consent. This conduct, described as both inappropriate and invasive, paints a concerning picture of Payne’s behavior leading up to his passing.

Third-Party Messages: Additional Claims of Harassment

Further complicating the situation, Maya Henry received a direct message via Instagram from an unnamed woman on October 6, 2024. This woman, who claims to have known Liam Payne for years, alleged that Payne had been contacting her with inappropriate requests. She described how Payne had persistently emailed her and asked whether she wanted to see nude photos of his current girlfriend, Kate Cassidy. When the woman declined, Payne allegedly continued to contact her through various channels, including iCloud, multiple phone numbers, and Snapchat. The woman shared her concerns with Henry, revealing the extent of Payne’s unwanted behavior.

Legal Action and Maya Henry’s Public Allegations

Maya Henry’s legal team made it clear that they would take “criminal action” or pursue a civil lawsuit against Liam Payne if his behavior constituted defamation, harassment, or threats toward Henry or her family. Henry has publicly stated that she plans to seek unspecified damages in this case. Moreover, Henry has shared more about the emotional distress she faced during and after her relationship with Payne. She revealed that, even after their breakup in 2022, the singer continued to stalk and harass her, sending messages from multiple phone numbers. Henry has also claimed that Payne used his personal struggles, including addiction, to emotionally manipulate her, which only added to the toxic nature of their relationship.

Liam Payne’s Death and Ongoing Investigation

Liam Payne’s untimely death, which occurred after he fell from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires, has raised further questions about his mental state in the final days of his life. Authorities have ruled out suicide, stating that Payne may have been unconscious when he fell, possibly unaware of his actions. A toxicology report revealed that he had consumed several drugs, which contributed to his deteriorating mental health.
