Cassidy heard about prostitutes and knew nothing about it, a friend told The Post on Oct. 18.
The insider added that the evidence was clearly a huge betrayal for the social media influencer and hurt her a lot.
Cassidy couldnt stop crying. She was in so much pain. Even though there were so many people around to support her, things only got worse. She wasnt okay, the friend added.
Sources involved in the investigation into Liam Paynes death told Argentinas local news outlet La Nación on October 18 that two 25-year-old prostitutes admitted to drinking with Payne in his hotel room before his death.

The identities of the two women have not been released. They spoke to prosecutor Marcelo Roma under oath and said they were invited to the CasaSur Palermo hotel through an escort service.
The pair arrived at the hotel around 11.30am and spent several hours drinking with the pop star. However, the sex workers allege they did not use drugs with Payne and he seemed normal to them.
The two prostitutes reportedly did not leave the hotel until 4pm as they argued with the Night Changes singer over his refusal to pay them.
Another tourist, Michael Fleischmann, claimed he witnessed a tense fight over money.
The American tourist told the Buenos Aires Herald that he overheard Payne say: Ill give you $20,000 just because I can. I have $55 million and I like to help people.
According to Argentinas National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutors Office, the two women had left the hotel at the time the Teardrops clones owner plunged to his death.
Investigators also shared in a report obtained by Page Six that they interviewed two women along with three hotel employees and concluded that Paynes death was unrelated.
La Nación s sources said the prostitutes cooperated with the police and even handed over their phones.

However, the Story of My Life singer was furious when his girlfriend left Argentina without him after he begged her to stay, a friend of Cassidys told The Post . He was really unhappy about it, the friend claimed.
The friend also shared that the couple had a heated discussion about Cassidy wanting to fly back to the US and that she eventually solved it herself by buying herself a ticket home.
The friend added that Cassidy was frustrated because Liam Payne didnt tell her when he was leaving Argentina.
Honestly, I love South America, but I hate staying in one place for too long, social media star Kate Cassidy shared on TikTok earlier this week. She added that their five-day trip actually stretched to two weeks.
The couple flew to Argentina to support former One Direction member Niall Horan, who was performing there on October 2. The singer also used the opportunity to make amends with his longtime girlfriend.
In a since-deleted Snapchat video, Payne teased Cassidy for leaving the holiday early, joking that she was a weirdo and a loser.
Days after the Strip That Down singer was dumped by his girlfriend, he began using alcohol and drugs, which led to him acting erratically and eventually leading to his death.
In a statement on October 18, Cassidy said she was completely devastated by her boyfriends death.
Liam Paynes cause of death was determined to be multiple injuries resulting in internal and external bleeding due to a fall, according to an autopsy by Argentinas National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutors Office.
