• She recently shared AI-generated images of herself with Liam Payne on Instagram and later told critics to stop judging how she grieves.
• In a Page Six interview reported by EntertainmentNow, Cassidy described rebuilding her days with early starts, workout classes, walks, and cleaner eating to stabilize her mental health.
• She said it took about two months after Payne’s death to begin resuming daily life and that staying active helps keep her headspace steady.
• Liam Payne, 31, died last October after a fall from a Buenos Aires hotel balcony, and authorities later confirmed drugs were in his system.
