Liam Payne accused of exploiting One Direction fans’ loyalty by ex-fiancée Maya Henry amid allegations of inappropriate behavior.

Liam Payne’s ex-fiancée, Maya Henry, has accused him of using the loyalty of his One Direction fans for personal benefit. In a candid TikTok video, Henry stated, "He preys on One Direction fans because they’re loyal to him." She alleged that Payne has relied on the unwavering support of his fan base to protect his reputation, even in light of troubling behavior. "When you constantly enable someone, they’re never gonna realize what they’ve done is bad, or they do realize and they know they can get away with it," Henry shared with her followers.

The claims have sparked a renewed conversation about Payne’s post-split actions and how his relationship with his fan base has affected public perception. Henry accused Payne of using his Snapchat account to connect with his fans, which she described as part of a broader pattern of inappropriate conduct. She added, "Everything gets swept under the rug, everything gets hidden for him."

Despite the accusations, Payne continues to have strong support from some of his most dedicated fans. The allegations come after Payne admitted in an earlier Diary of a CEO podcast that he struggled with relationships and expressed disappointment in his past behavior.
