Liam Payne’s Girlfriend Kate Cassidy Speaks Out Since His Death | This Morning

In 2010, X Factor hopeful Liam Payne shot to stardom with one of the biggest boy bands in the world - One Direction. After selling 70 million records, Liam went on to have a hugely successful solo career - and was a loving father to his son, Bear, who he shared with singer Cheryl. After finally finding love with influencer Kate Cassidy in 2022, Kate had said the pair were talking of marriage. Tragically, on the 16th October 2024, news shocked the world that Liam had passed away, aged 31, after falling from the balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires. Less than 4 months since the singer's death, Kate has opened up about the singer's battle with addiction and their relationship. We learn more about that tell-all interview.

This interviewer did not ask the right questions IMO😳

[@rebeccaly21]

I understand her need to speak out and in turn make money. But I would not have chosen a publication that absolutely expoilted his death, caused unnecessary harm to his family and son and ran false stories before anything was confirmed.

[@Lma894]

Also, my thing is doing an interview right before another court date doesn’t set right with me.

[@Orwell-g5l]

Why would you have a need to discuss this in public just right after the passing?such a bizzare thing to do.

[@mayaba627]

So they had a great relationship😮 He was addicted and she accepted that, he was messaging Maya behind her back and he cheated on her with 2 girls on the day he died.

[@davebarlow6457]

Superficial lives. Posing and pouting in designer clothes at exotic locations in front of a camera will never bring true happiness , the sooner the younger generation realise this the better , I fear it's too late though. Liam did not look particularly happy with this lifestyle either judging by the video posts in his lasts few months. I hope he rests in peace , he seemed like a nice guy who unfortunately got taken advantage of by a lot of people around him who should have known better.

[@LiveMusic1st]

This is the worst interview, the insipid interviewer, did not ask the right questions it was a complete fluff job. Hugely disappointing interview, shame on the lot of you for falling into the trap of blaming Liam.

[@jspehar]

This girl gives me bad vibes. Nothing else to say... He finally find peace. 🕊️

[@Mari.sol.e]

Judge if she doesn't speak, judge if she speaks. You will always judge, but don't say you are true fans, because only half of you defended Liam when he was still alive, and now you are angry with her.

[@MarcSpelmann]

It's tragic and actually really made me sad when I heard the news. Liam was a superstar loved around the world but equally with his own demons. The power of fame and the lifestyle allowed things to spiral out of control and ultimately led to a young mans death. All lives matter and Liams is no different. May he rest in peace..

Why is she on media Respect he's family

[@natfrog]

His*. His family have no problems with her, only strangers online do. And people have been telling her in the comments to speak up for months and now that she did people complain too.

[@ashbbxo]

She is family…

[@heather6668]

Agree totally - why go on now about a lot of stuff he's not here to confirm or contradict. Grieve in private. Why is she making it all public and doing these interviews? To make money.

[@heather6668]

his girlfriend shouldnt be speaking out... according to some random person on KZbin who never met either of them, but you can speak out? bit weird.

People have been telling her to speak up for months and now that she did they are not happy either.. I don’t think she needs your trust as she doesn’t know who you are.

Nick she didnt have to do the interview it was asked for on her behalf and she got paid

[@justmebedford6098]

the interview wasnt informative,,,, and she didnt really say much,,,, she is so fake ,,, so if its the love of her life why was he paying her $35,000 a month? that is true love lol,,,, her mom was somewhere in the area if she was there with Kate why couldnt she take care of the dog ,,,,, and they didnt buy that house together,, it was a rented house,,,,,

[@youtubemusic8709]

Her team approached the sun newspaper in December to get a paid interview. Less than 2months after! She was paid a lot of money!!! 💰 to do the interview. Profiting out of his death. She was well rehearsed in the way she was in the interview. Profiting when the family hasn’t got justice yet in the court case is vey low!!!

[@LindaNutting]

Well said

[@Indabird42]

Need to get the Truth of my story out there, so let me contact the Sun trash 💰💰💰 yeh right

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

Unlikely. It’s probably more likely the Sun was the only outlet interested in carrying her extended story (news cycles are fast and this is very old news, now. Plus, Kate is not newsworthy to most people outside the fandom). I give her the benefit of the doubt. Did she get paid? Probably. But give her a break. As an influencer being trolled by thousands of fans, her influencer career is not going to be supporting her now. Girl has still got bills to pay, like everyone. Plus… nobody knows what she did with the money.

[@undineeade486]

Liam was vonrubel she new that even if she says he was ok the day she left i don't buy that the dog sitter would have looked after the dog a few days longer or sort something out sorry she is false .

[@ashbbxo]

Vulnerable*, firstly. Secondly, we don’t know what he was like the day she left - we were not there, but she was. Speculating/gossiping is just a lowbrow take, and an embarrassing one at that. Do better man.

[@theotherpoormansproductions]

Has anyone bothered to look into where he "landed"? It's TINY, I MEAN TINY. It is only 3 wooden boards wide, it is an aisle way between tables and chairs, he never hit any table or chairs and "landed" exactly in that aisleway, with not a bent limb in sight, flat as if lying in bed, the entire thing is impossible, even a cat from 3 floors would struggle to land in exctly that area let alone a full grown man. You do not have to be a conspiracy theorist to reach the conclusion he has been laid down. If someone said he was moved after the "fall" fair enough, but both hotel staff and medics have said they never even moved him, medical staff saying, and I quote, "we did not treat him because when we arrived his injuries were incompatible with life" So the photo we have seen of him there, is how he "landed". IMPOSSIBLE!

[@kerryannebirkby2545]

Share her love too i agree but we don't do that for loved ones or in private not sell a story was for a pay cheque !!

[@heather6668]

Yeah see she's doing these interviews for money - using his death to profit - he's not here to contradict anything she says

[@jaina44]

Liam, you will always be remembered. Thank you for the music, the memories, and everything you gave to the world. Rest easy. 🕊

[@user-DulceA]

La prensa no necesita sus declaraciones, la policía argentina SI! Allá es donde debe hablar y decir todo!

[@Maureen-v4t]

Not a nice lady, if you want to call her that, or how about a lady of the evening, is more like it! 💴 RIP Payno

[@theotherpoormansproductions]

Why? Why is she not questioning the way we have been told he's passed? Bearing in mind if you look into it intensely, nothing adds up logically.. The trajectory of where he "lands" is round the corner from his balcony, directly below his balcony was a large glass framework, he never went through it, and the hotel staff and medical team say they never moved him, how can you be the gf and not be looking into this properly? There is no conspiracy theory in science and common sense.

[@wildheartxxx135]

She is involved in Liams death!!

[@carolinesolinski]

shes not allowed to say anything to do whit the investgation

[@theotherpoormansproductions]

@carolinesolinski Pretty sure you can say the sentence, I personally do not believe he has passed the way we have been told. That's just opinion, not anything that can affect the case itself.

[@carolinesolinski]

@@theotherpoormansproductions maybe shes been told by family not to say anything ??

[@NovapagePage-or5hz]

What I left Liam to go to the dog

[@natfrog]

They only had care for the dog arranged for 5 days and she ended up staying there with Liam for 2 weeks. She flew out earlier to pick up the dog. There’s no secret conspiracy to it.

[@NovapagePage-or5hz]

@natfrog they had enough money for someone to look after the dog so who had the dog after the five days then

[@irenecarr7705]

She wanted the money she should not have left him

[@theotherpoormansproductions]

Stop saying "fell" it's BS. The "space" he ws found in is tiny, I mean TINY, basically impossible to "land" into. A cat would struggle.

[@suell1090]

All her fault, for the reason she left Liam. Why did Liam care about her so much? Unfortunately how cruel she leave him?

[@xenia_2385]

She didnt clarify anything and the interview didnt ask the right questions at all ! She used Liam for money when he was alive and now in his death. DISGRACEFUL ‼️ She is ONLY concerned about herself hence she only got emotional when it dawned on her that Liam won't be coming home to pay the rent anymore! And did she at any stage mentioned what might have happened to him and who murdered him in their circle!? She has not helped with any investigations relating to the so called 'love of her life'! NOPE! TOTAL WASTE OF INTERVIEW. Pathetic ‼️

Not blaming her at all. Not her fault. However, all she's done is talk about it. Anything to make money online I guess. Maybe she'd be more respected if she just lived her life. It's easy for her to say whatever she wants in all these paid interviews. He's not here to contradict her.

[@patdoe5242]

Sorry but i don't believe every word she says i mean if she really loved Liam why didn't she go back to Argentina to support Geoff when Liam died instead of waiting for the funeral any other girl would of done it if they thought the world of him and didnt mention the friends name as we all.know it would of been Rodger we still want justice fir Liam .
