The tragic event comes just two months after Payne was hit with accusations of toxic behavior by his ex-fiancée, Maya Henry.

In the book, which includes sensitive themes such as physical aggression and abortion, the protagonist, Mallory, is presented as a reflection of Henry’s experience.
The relationship between Liam Payne and Maya Henry began in 2018 and culminated in an engagement announced in August 2020.

Indirect mentions
Speaking to People magazine, Maya Henry did not directly mention Liam Payne by name, but described Mallory as a faithful mirror of her experiences.
The book’s plot follows the trajectory of the main character involved with a member of a boyband who rises to fame through a reality television show, similar to what Liam experienced with One Direction.
As the singer’s career faces stagnation, he develops abusive behavior and chemical dependency, making the relationship unsustainable.
It is worth noting that Liam Payne had celebrated six months of sobriety in July 2023 after completing intensive treatment at a rehabilitation clinic.
“What I went through in real life is very similar to what Mallory went through in the book. I definitely had some complications and had to go to the hospital alone […]. It was very lonely to see these men saying, ‘Oh, it’s going to feel like a heavy period, it’s not going to be as painful, it’s going to be easy.’ But I think, you’ve never been through anything like this, so how would you know to tell me? That’s why I wanted to include it in the book, because I saw so many people on the internet talking about taking the abortion pill and it was the most painful thing for them. It’s just incomprehensible to me that you can tell a woman how she’s going to feel,” she told People magazine.
