Henry described how Payne frequently messaged her after their breakup, often expressing distress and saying, “Oh, I’m not well.” She claimed he had a tendency to joke about his mortality, stating things like, “Well, I’m going to die. I’m not doing well.” Henry characterised these messages as a manipulation tactic aimed at eliciting sympathy from her despite their separation. “There was one time I tried to get him help, but he was not receptive,” she recounted. In desperate attempts to reach out, Payne allegedly texted her mother, asking her to get in touch with Henry since she wasn’t responding.

The influencer shared that this cycle of behaviour had become all too familiar. Just a few months ago, she announced her upcoming fictional book, “Looking Forward,” which was inspired by journal entries from her time with Payne. In a concerning incident during their relationship, she claimed he contacted her mother to express that he “wasn’t going to be around much longer.” She stated firmly, “I don’t play with death,” and emphasised that she felt compelled to help him regardless of their past.

Henry also mentioned that one of Payne's friends reached out to her, warning her against releasing the book due to concerns about his mental health. She asserted that she had offered him help to return to rehab, but felt that his actions were ultimately manipulative. In the days leading up to his death, Henry claimed that Payne’s behavior had become increasingly troubling, although she couldn’t disclose specific details due to a cease-and-desist letter she had sent him earlier that month.?
