Liam Payne’s girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, reportedly gave him an ultimatum, demanding that he choose between her and his struggle with drugs. According to reports, Kate opened up about their relationship, revealing that she pushed Liam to make this difficult choice. At the time, Liam had been clean, passing drug tests and on the verge of securing a new visa. However, shortly after passing the tests, he allegedly relapsed into substance use. A source told The New York Post that his drug use caused significant conflict, ultimately leading to Kate’s heart-wrenching ultimatum: her or the drugs. In the end, Liam chose substances, prompting Kate to step away and adopt a stance of “tough love.” The couple had been vacationing in Argentina before Liam’s tragic death on October 16, when he fell from his third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.
