Apart from this, no serious cases were registered regarding Payne, which led to his arrest or jail news.
However, on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), there have been several hashtags of #liampaynearrested following the harassment allegations of his ex-partner, Maya Henry.
Maya accused Liam of harassment and obsessive behavior following their breakup in June 2021. She claimed he used social media to contact her repeatedly.
The situation escalated into a legal dispute, with Henry alleging Payne’s harassment and taking legal action against him.
