Kate Cassidy has spoken out about receiving death threats and accusations of being a gold-digger following the death of her boyfriend Liam Payne.
The 25-year-old influencer, who had been in a relationship with the tragic One Direction star for two years, deactivated her social media accounts after facing abuse online â including criticism over her appearance at Liamâs funeral in November.
Payne, 31, died in October after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, but says the late singerâs words of encouragement have helped her deal with the backlash.
Kate told The Sun in her first interview since Liamâs tragic death: "One hate comment is equivalent to a hundred nice comments so itâs hard but I understand that. Liam would want me to be as strong as I can be, and just have a thick skin.
"Thatâs one thing he always taught me. He grew up in this life, and he always was just so positive about it and said, âDonât let any hate get to youâ."
Kate also praised One Direction fans for their support but admitted the bandâs fanbase made their fame intense â and spoke about how their followers are putting under scrutiny.
She said: "I understand that some of the more negative comments come from a place of loving Liam, and concern, and caring for Liam. So I understand that because I love Liam too. But for sure itâs hard because obviously any criticism will get to you."

Kate and Liam lived together in a multi-million-pound rented mansion in Florida before his death. She has since returned to her family home in New Jersey.
Reports in the US claimed she received a "living allowance" from Payne â allegations she described as intrusive. She hit back: "Obviously after his death there was a lot of speculation, and things that were said about me, and I was getting called certain labels.
"Liam and I had a relationship where I couldnât possibly work a nine to five job with his work and his lifestyle and I moved across the world to be with him."
Liamâs funeral, held at St Maryâs Church in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, was attended by the late singerâs former bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik. Kate was accompanied by her model friend Damian Hurley but faced criticism from some social media users over her appearance at the service.
She defended her decision to wear make-up on the day, telling The Sun: âPeople are going to say things no matter what. I genuinely wanted to just look beautiful for my boyfriend one last time; thatâs how he would want to see me, and thatâs how I would want him to see to remember me by.â Kate also said the service was "beautiful" and that Payneâs former bandmates were "lovely" to her.
