Liam Payne, former member of One Direction, tragically passed away on October 16, 2024, at the age of 31 after a fall from the third floor of his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His sudden death has left fans and celebrities in deep shock and mourning.
Charlie Puth expressed his grief on Twitter, writing, “I am in shock right now. Liam was always so kind to me. I cannot believe he is gone…may he rest in peace.” Musician Zedd also shared his sorrow, tweeting, “RIP Liam… I can’t believe this is real…absolutely heartbreaking.”
In the aftermath of Payne’s death, his ex-fiancée Maya Henry has faced a barrage of hate messages online. Some users on social media posted cruel comments on her Instagram, with messages such as, “You should be so happy now” and “It’s all your fault.” Despite the negativity, many fans have come to her defense, reminding others that she cannot be blamed for Payne’s tragic passing. One supportive message stated, “She’s not responsible for another person’s actions…people online always look for someone to blame.”
Henry had previously spoken out about being harassed by One Direction fans following their breakup. According to the Daily Mail, she had sent Payne a cease-and-desist letter after their split in 2018, alleging unwanted contact from him.
