Liam Payne reveals ‘shocking’ truth about how One Direction ‘cursed’ his life

Liam Payne reportedly “smashed his laptop on the floor” after reading a cryptic email just minutes before his death.

The former One Direction singer, who died from the third-floor balcony of his hotel in Argentina, spoke to a woman staying at the same hotel in Buenos Aires before his death.

The woman herself, named Rebecca by various media outlets, reported the late singer’s “disturbing and strange” behavior as she smashed her laptop after going through an email.

The 28-year-old had a surprise 30-minute meeting with Liam before his death.

During an exclusive interview with daily mailRebecca said there was something strange about him.

Recounting an instance on Wednesday, she said: “I went into the hotel and he was waiting in the lift, and it was so clear that he wanted someone to recognize him, there was something a bit desperate about him.

She went on to explain how she and her friends recognized him instantly, but were surprised by his unexpected reaction.

“When the elevator came, he suddenly said to us without any prompting, ‘Yes, I’m Liam!’ really drawing him and then he was like, “okay, come on, get in the elevator with me, I’d love a hug.”

Rebecca said the One Direction pupil returned to the lobby ten minutes later and began reading emails in full view of the public.

Reacting to an email that “obviously upset him”, he hit the computer and said: “‘F**k that shit mate!’

After going to check on her, Liam grunted in response to her concern with “I used to be in a boy band. That’s why I’m so screwed.”
