Who could forget Liam Payne? One of the five members of One Direction, who, years after leaving the band, has once again become a topic of conversation due to alarming claims from his ex-fiancée, Maya Henry.
After a controversial breakup, Maya published a novel that’s reportedly based on her relationship with the singer, titled Looking Forward.
The worrying details that the influencer shared in the book concerned fans of both, and just when we thought the topic had been put to rest, Maya released a TikTok video discussing what has happened since she and Liam split.

Following this revelation, Maya faced a wave of criticism for supposedly trying to “seek attention,” leading her to post a second video, where she opened up about the toxic behaviors her ex has exhibited toward her, even years after their breakup.
What Did Maya Henry Say About Liam Payne?
After being attacked online, Henry expressed her frustration in a nearly 10-minute video, making it clear that if anyone in this situation is obsessed, it’s definitely not her.
She stated that fans have no idea what goes on “behind closed doors,” and shared that her ex still displays toxic behavior towards her, like calling or messaging her from different numbers and iCloud accounts, even contacting her mother with these messages.
She also claimed that during their relationship, Liam Payne would send messages to other girls, including Maya’s best friend, asking to meet in secret.

As if that weren’t enough, Maya also touched on Liam’s current relationships with his former One Direction bandmates. Recently, Liam Payne was spotted with Niall Horan at one of the Irish singer’s concerts, which sent fans into a frenzy.
However, Maya explained that this is just a façade to “distract everyone,” as Liam “talked trash” about his bandmates when no one was around to hear.
In her video, Maya made it clear that no one pushed her to say what she did, and that the release of her book, in which she shares shocking details about her relationship, wasn’t about money. She simply wanted to share her story to prevent other women from going through the same thing.
