Just a couple of days before Liam Paynes tragic death, his ex-fiancée Maya Henry revealed unsettling details about his manipulative behavior and how he would constantly talk about death.

The 23-year-old author even issued a cease and desist letter to the British star for obsessively contacting her family and her mother, Azteca Henry.

In a candid interview with The Internet Is Dead, Maya said the deceased pop icon used to take advantage of her familys kindness and constantly bombarded her with messages even after their 2022 breakup.

I always felt it was a manipulation tactic I always felt like it was so Id continue to feel bad for him, Maya told the interview hosts.

He would always message me ever since we broke up, like Oh, Im not well. He would always play with death and be like, Well, Im gonna die. Im not doing well, she continued.

The young model said it wasnt just her but also her mother who would often receive messages from the former boybander.

The 23-year-old model and writer said people didnt want her to release her book because Liam wasnt doing well

There was one time I was trying to get him help and he was not taking it. He would text my mom, Im not doing well, have Maya contact me. Because I wouldnt respond. And its just always the same cycle, she went on to say.

Maya and the One Direction alum had an on-and-off relationship over the years. They went Instagram-official in 2019 and got engaged the next year. However, they split in June, 2021, only to announce that they were together again in October the same year.

By 2022, they parted ways for good; however, Maya claimed the singer, eight years her senior, continued seeking attention from her in different ways.

She published her first book, Looking Forward, in May this year.

When I announced my book, he did the same thing. He called my mom, I think Im not going to be around much longer, Maya recalled in her recent interview.

The Looking Forward author went viral earlier this month after saying she had been bombarded with messages from the deceased pop star even after their 2022 breakup

I dont play with death, so if you say this, Im going to try and help you no matter what youve done and I think he took advantage of my familys kindness, she said about why she felt compelled to help him.

So I was like, If you want to go back to rehab, I will help you. Not that I wanted to be back with him, but hes still somebodys child, hes still somebodys brother. If that were my brother, I would want somebody to help him too, she went on to say.
