Liam Payne has been accused of obsessively contacting his ex-fiancée, reaching out to her friends and playing on the loyalty of die-hard One Direction fans on social media.
The singer’s three-year on-again, off-again relationship with Texas model Maya Henry came to an end in 2022, almost a year after the former couple called off their engagement.
Payne, 31, has moved on with new girlfriend Kate Cassidy, while Henry continues to promote his debut novel Looking Forward, an art-imitating romance about a girl who falls for a pop star.
Sharing a withering assessment of Payne, 31, with TikTok followers on Monday, Henry, 23, daughter of billionaire personal injury attorney Thomas J. Henry, claimed he had gone to great lengths in an attempt to contact her.
“Ever since we broke up, he’s texting me and blowing up my phone, not just from his phone, but it’s always coming from different phone numbers too, so I never know where it’s coming from,” she said.
