Following the sudden death of Liam Payne at the age of 31, online discussions have resurfaced regarding Ariana Grande and her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, with social media drawing similarities and expressed concern about a potential cycle that could repeat itself.
In September 2018, shortly after Miller’s death, online bullies began targeting the “Thank u next” singer. Negative comments flooded her social media profiles, causing her to quickly decide to disable comments shortly after the heartbreaking incident.
A wave of criticism targeted Grande, holding her responsible for the tragedy. Social media platforms like Twitter were then filled with harsh comments and even threats directed at her.
Some of the comments directed at Grande during that time included, “Damn you killed that guy,” “That’s crazy because you actually killed him,” “THIS IS YOUR FAULT,” and “Ariana Grande literally killed a man.”
Many people came to the pop star’s defense at the time, including one who said: “Ariana didn’t kill Mac Miller, drugs did. She escaped a toxic relationship and we will don’t blame her for the way she treated her ex-boyfriend.” a time of separation.”

Following Payne’s tragic death on October 16, his ex-fiancée, Maya Henry, was flooded with negative comments on her most recent Instagram update.
When one person said that “history is repeating itself” on What abuse with [Miller]unlike Henry and Payne’s relationship.”
Payne and Henry’s tumultuous relationship, characterized by allegations of excessive communication, was recently revealed by the actress herself, who had to apply for a restraining order against the British singer.
Just days ago, Henry reportedly “directed lawyers to issue a cease and desist letter to the One Direction star after accusing him of repeatedly contacting her.”
One of her attorneys also told the Daily Mail, “Maya Henry issued a cease-and-desist order last week against Liam Payne after new and concerning information emerged. She has retained attorneys Marco Crawford and Daniel Cerna to represent himself.
At this time, that is her only comment on the matter.”
@stanbaby212 said on them in this difficult time.”
Do you remember the internet blaming ariana for Mac’s overdose? It’s 2024, let’s not do the same to Maya Henry.

@tattoedpov added, “now why are you comparing? Or bringing up this issue? Delete.”
God please protect that girl because I know people will blame and bully her even if she is the victim

“Delete this. There is no reason to bring up the past or compare two different scenarios. Your emphasis is strange,” @some1likekefon also wrote.
I’m sending so much love to Maya Henry right now. I hope and pray that she is supported only and that NO ONE EVER makes her feel guilty for speaking her truth and freeing herself from a man who preyed on and abused her that.

In the comments section of Henry’s latest post, social media users also stood up to defend Henry.
One comment said: “Maya, I’m sorry that people are blaming you for talking about what you’ve been through, please don’t let them get you down, you have the right to talk about it.”
Another comment read: “Everyone blaming her for Liam’s death is stupid. The victim is allowed to tell her story, she could not have foreseen this death would happen. All the You need to grow up.”
