Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy was in ‘hostage situation’ despite recent marriage revelation
Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy was reportedly in a “hostage situation” during her trip to Argentina, a close friend has claimed.
The revelation comes just a week after Payne tragically died in Buenos Aires, following a fall from a third-floor balcony at the Casa Sur hotel.
According to a police report, Payne had a toxic mixture of drugs in his system at the time of his death, including crack and “pink cocaine” – a combination of ketamine and other drugs.
A friend of Cassidy told the New York Post that she was worried Payne was preparing to go on a big night out after she left.
However, she couldn’t stay any longer and wanted to be in her own home, with her dog.
Cassidy’s friend said: “She can’t leave, or else who knows what will happen?
“And if she leaves, what will he do? But she has other responsibilities, other things that she’s supposed to be doing. So she finally had to make a decision.”
They added: “They’re in Argentina and it’s like a hostage situation. So she tells him she wants to leave, this is after a week. He begs her to stay.
“She keeps extending her trip, a day, two days. And he just wants her to stay, stay, stay.
“I get what people are saying, that she should just stay with her rich, famous boyfriend, but she wanted to be home in her own bed with her dog.
“She wanted to come home. So eventually she says she’s going home.”
The singer died instantly of massive internal and external injuries after falling from his hotel balcony.
Payne’s father, Geoff, is currently cooperating with Argentine authorities in their ongoing investigation into his son’s death.
Cassidy recently penned an emotional Instagram post where shared a note from Payne which read: “Me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged & together forever 444.”
The 25-year-old influencer described Payne as “the love of my life” and expressed her heartbreak over his sudden death.
She wrote: “None of this feels real, and I can’t wrap my head around this new reality of not having you here. I’m struggling to figure out how to live in a world without you by my side.”
