Liam Payne’s ex girlfriend Danielle Peazer has revealed she isn’t ‘mentally strong enough to face the reality of what has happened’ as she broke her silence on the singer’s tragic death aged 31.
The One Direction singer plunged 45ft from the third floor into the courtyard of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires on Wednesday, prompting a wave of tributes from across the showbiz world.
And now Danielle has taken to Instagram on Saturday to share her tribute to Liam after the pair dated on and off from 2010.
The model explained she had been taking the last few days to process the news of the star’s death as she penned: ‘In time I will share more, but right now I don’t feel mentally strong enough to face the reality of what’s happened’.
Describing it as a ‘heartbreaking time’, Danielle explained the last few days had been made even more difficult due to negative comments from vicious trolls.

She wrote: ‘Like all of us, I too am grieving, and need to take some time to do that privately.
‘It’s a heartbreaking time,, which has already been made so much more challenging due to receiving negative and misinformed comments as well pre conceived judgement from those who don’t personally know me, Liam or anything about out relationship over the last 14 years.’
She concluded: ‘I will be back son when I’m ready but until then please take care of each other.’
While Danielle referenced the negative abuse she had received, she also thanked people for their supportive messages.
She said: ‘Thank you to anyone who has taken the time to call, text, or DM sending condolences and offering support.
‘I’m so grateful and it’s helped more thank you know.’
Danielle, who is now in a relationship and shares daughter Mia with Sonny Jay, dated Liam on and off from 2010 when they both met on the X Factor.
They split in 2012 but were thought to have enjoyed a very brief reconciliation back in 2022.
During an interview in October 2012, Liam admitted he was ‘devastated’ after separating from Danielle.
