Earlier this month, Maya Henry, Liam Payne’s ex-fiancée, revealed that it was Zayn Malik who allegedly “threw” Liam Payne “up a wall” during a backstage fight at a One Direction concert years ago. This revelation came from a viral TikTok video, where Henry responded to a fan’s question, ending the speculation that’s been circulating for years.
@mayahenry #duet with @bee! Sorry i couldnt hold this info in anymore 😭
The alleged incident was first brought up by Liam Payne himself in a 2022 interview on Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast. During their chat, the singer mentioned a heated argument with one of his former bandmates but avoided giving specific names. He still revealed the following:
“There was one moment where there was an argument backstage, and one member in particular threw me up a wall.”
The situation gained attention again following Liam Payne’s death on October 16, with some people digging into the late singer’s controversies. Payne, who passed away after falling from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, was reportedly under the influence of drugs at the time of the incident. It was confirmed that he passed after suffering serious injuries from a cranial fracture, making it impossible for emergency responders to assist him.
