<\/p>\n

Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy gave the former One Direction star a heartbreaking ultimatum to choose between her or drugs just days before his tragic death in Argentina last month. <\/p>\n

The 31-year-old singer died on October 16 after falling from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room at the CasaSur Palermo in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The couple had been holidaying in Argentina as Payne needed to renew his American visa, where he had planned to live with the former waitress. <\/p>\n

His visa had expired due to his history of drug use and rehab stints, requiring medical examinations and drug tests for renewal. <\/p>\n

What was initially planned as a five-day stay in Argentina was extended to two weeks, against Cassidy’s wishes. <\/p>\n

She expressed her frustration on social media, telling followers she “hated” being stuck in one place for too long and felt an urgent need to return to their Florida home.<\/p>\n

Sources close <\/span>to<\/span> Cassidy <\/span>revealed she felt trapped in what they described as a “hostage situation” as the holiday continued to drag on.<\/span><\/p>\n

During this extended period, Payne underwent the required medical examinations and drug tests, which he initially passed, putting him on track to receive his visa again. <\/p>\n

However, reports suggest The Strip That Down singer relapsed into drug use and alcohol shortly after completing the necessary tests. <\/p>\n

A source told the New York Post: “His drug use was causing a lot of drama. So she gave him an ultimatum: her or the drugs. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe chose the drugs, so she had no choice but to remove herself from the situation. She thought she was <\/span>doing<\/span> tough<\/span> love.”<\/p>\n

The situation had become increasingly strained between the couple during their extended stay.<\/p>\n

“It was becoming very unhealthy for everyone,” the source added, describing the deteriorating circumstances that led to <\/span>Cassidy<\/span>‘s departure.<\/span><\/p>\n

She had hoped her boyfriend would follow her back to Miami after her departure, according to sources close to the couple. <\/p>\n

Following his death, Cassidy penned an emotional tribute on Instagram, writing: “Thank you for all of the kind words and love that has been sent my way. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have been at a complete loss.”<\/p>\n
