Liam Payne allegedly made a disturbing statement that being in a boy band “f–ked” him up just minutes before his fatal fall.
“‘I used to be in a boy band — that’s why I’m so f–ked up,’” she claimed Payne told her during her 30-minute interaction with the singer in the hotel lobby.
Liam Payne allegedly made a disturbing statement that being in a boy band “f–ked” him up just minutes before his fatal fall.
Rebecca — who works in IT in Washington, DC, and was staying at the hotel for a wedding — also said Payne was displaying some bizarre behavior before his death.
She claimed Payne was scheduled to check out of the CasaSur Hotel on Wednesday morning but was still hanging around in the lobby late into the afternoon.
“One of my friends was due to get his suite, so the hotel staff were a little on edge because he still hadn’t checked out at 4:30 p.m., but also because of his behavior,” she told the Daily Mail.
“I came into the hotel, and he was waiting by the elevator, and it was so clear he wanted someone to recognize him, there was something a bit desperate about him.”

Rebecca said she and her friends recognized him but weren’t “bothered” by the star’s presence.
“When the lift came, he suddenly said to us without any prompting, ‘Yes, I’m Liam!,’ really drawing it out, and then said, ‘All right, come on, you lot, get in the elevator with me, I love a cuddle,’” she claimed.
Rebecca said she “decided against” hopping on the elevator and opted to wait for the next one, but claimed that “some of the other girls got in with him and halfway up, he started saying, ‘Oh, you’re Americans, I live in West Palm Beach.’”
Rebecca also claims she and Payne had a 30-minute conversation in the hotel lobby.

“‘I know Americans. You guys are f–king crazy! You guys are f–king dangerous!’” Payne allegedly told the girls in the elevator.
“And then he grabs a girl who I think was with him and starts fake choking her, only lightly, but the others thought it was really disturbing.”
Rebecca said 10 minutes after her initial interaction with Payne, she returned to the lobby, where she found the singer hanging out again, reading on his laptop.
A woman, identified as Rebecca, claimed to be staying at the CasaSur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday and was one of the last people to see the former One Direction singer, 31, alive, according to the Daily Mail.
