The theories surrounding the tragic passing of Liam Payne have gotten out of hand. The former One Direction star was found dead in the interior patio of a Buenos Aires hotel after falling from the balcony of his third-floor room. A previous interview of Payne with Graham Norton went viral after his death, which has given rise to wild speculations.
Payne opened up about his meeting with the now infamous musician P Diddy. The Strip That Down singer’s revelation about Diddy’s behavior has fans speculating that the disgraced Bad Boy CEO had a hand in Payne’s death. Meanwhile, Salma Hayek, whose face allegedly dropped at the mention of Diddy during the interview, also became a victim of unnecessary online hate.
Wild Theories About Liam Payne’s Death Results In Fans Going After Salma Hayek
Liam Payne‘s 2017 interview on The Graham Norton Show has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. The singer’s death has left many fans deeply saddened but others are coming up with wild conspiracy theories surrounding the death. In the mentioned interview, Payne details how he met the hip hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs during a party alongside Jay-Z and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Payne shared that he went to say hello to Diddy. He recalled that he was greeted with an “evil laugh” and “the longest handshake ever.” Payne shared during the interview, “I’m just sat there looking into P Diddy’s eyes and thinking when is this going to end?”. Fans drew wild theories connecting Diddy to the singer’s death as the clip went viral.
However, some fans also caught on to Salma Hayek‘s cringe reaction as Payne mentioned the name of Diddy. Fans on X claimed that Hayek knew what happened at the infamous Diddy parties which explained her reaction. Even wilder theories suggested that she knew of Diddy’s crime through her husband.
Hayek’s husband François-Henri Pinault is a billionaire and the CEO of the parent company of the luxury fashion brand Balenciaga. The fashion brand came under fire in 2022 for their ad campaign which consisted of images of children alongside stuffed animals adorned in bondage costumes.
The s*xualization of children in the ads caught up to Hayek and her husband, despite the company issuing an apology and promising to take legal action against the individuals involved in it (via Fox News). Fans used this piece of information to connect Pinault to Diddy’s s*x crimes, which has otherwise no proof as such. The wild social media comments read:

This entire industry is absolutely cooked. I’d guess 80% are involved in some way from secret videos right up to pedophilia.

Do people still remember the Balenciaga gate? That was wild back then.

It’s one big club, and we are not invited. It does make you wonder about his death, as it sounded a bit suspicious, to me before just how he died, and who knows what he knew, or maybe he saw something, even involved with something, you never can tell.

Hayek has been part of another social media speculation recently after her awkward encounter with Nicole Kidman. Kidman allegedly was cold to Hayek when the two appeared at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week (via The Blast).
Fans Speculated Diddy’s Involvement In Liam Payne’s Death
Ever since the Graham Norton video went viral in the wake of the singer’s death, fans have been speculating about Diddy’s alleged involvement in the singer’s death. The wild theories stated that One Direction was at the center of the Diddy scandal and Payne was allegedly a key witness. Some of these theories include:
Liam Payne was put off considerably when he met Diddy for the first time.
Liam is now dead.
I don’t think that is coincidental.

Isn’t it weird that these events are happening during the diddy scandal where Lawyer Buzbee claims that Diddy’s celebrity friends are paying off victims to keep quiet. Nick Jonas runs offstage after a laser points at him & then Liam Payne dies. Are other artists being threatened? https://t.co/FzAlTB0NmI pic.twitter.com/FPOoL8qfra

Liam Payne knew his death was coming. Look how nervous he is when he mentioned falling off the roof back in August this year. Him and the rest of the 1D boys are dangerous witnesses to the diddy case and industry. They are victims themselves. Poor Liam. #liampayne #DIDDY #Truth… pic.twitter.com/kr2VZzijID

According to Reuters, Liam Payne was found dead in the interior patio of his hotel in Buenos Aires. Argentine police have stated that he fell from his third-floor room balcony. Emergency workers confirmed his death later, with the director of Emergency Medical Services stating that he had suffered serious injuries.
On the other hand, Diddy is currently facing three counts of charges including racketeering conspiracy, s*x trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in pr*stitution. Additionally, he is potentially facing 120 more s*xual assault lawsuits. He is currently placed in the Brooklyn Detention Center pending trial.
