Demi Lovato has taken to social media to issue a statement after social media users unearthed old tweets and comments from her fiancé Max Ehrich gushing over several female celebrities.
In particular, social media uses shared multiple instances of Ehrich allegedly expressing how he wanted to "marry" Selena Gomez.
In one of the tweets allegedly penned by the 29-year-old actor, he states: "I'm going to marry @SelenaGomez".
Now, per Yahoo, the tweets are unable to be verified due to the fact that Ehrich has deleted his Twitter account, but that didn't stop people finding an old video of Ehrich discussing his crush on Gomez:
In one Instagram Live video, Ehrich says: "I think she’s an extremely, extremely, extremely talented girl, and I’ve actually had a major crush on her since 2010.
"And I—my teenage self, like, said it in an interview as well so it’s kind of been this ongoing thing but then like obviously I put it out on Twitter, and I didn’t even realize that would catch like—that people would take that like seriously."
The Under The Dome star then described Gomez as "an angel" and declared "I love her".
In response to the social media storm, 28-year-old Lovato took to her Instagram Stories to state how the tweets were "fake" and slammed anybody for sharing them.
Her full statement reads:
"It’s really sad when people FAKE images to put women against each other. If women have conflict that’s between them NOT YOU. Secondly, don’t y’all have more important shit to write about in 2020??? I challenge any tabloid that dares to type my name to mention Breonna Taylor and the fact that her murderers still haven’t been arrested. WRITE ABOUT THAT.
"But then I stop and think.. it’s hella rude but damn.. I get it. And I don’t wanna look at what’s really happening in the world either but WE HAVE TO. Yes, it’s easier to tear apart celebrities and their relationships because 2020 sucks and scares the shit out of us all but it’s only gonna stay terrifying until we address it all and WORK ON SOLUTIONS TOGETHER.
"So while on one hand I understand and have compassion for those who are so horrified at the reality of 2020 that they gotta distract themselves with doctored images in order to not focus on how bad these times are—but on the other hand, if you aren’t 13 years old trying to grasp the reality of right now, put on your adult underpants and write about what actually matters. Please."
However, the allegations against Ehrich didn't stop there. Per Yahoo, the actor has also been accused of sharing amorous thoughts about other female celebrities, such as Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Gigi Hadid.
One Twitter user shared a selection of screenshots, of Ehrich's suspect social media actions, along with the caption:
"You can literally see here he’s said the exact same thing as he did to every other celebrity and demi was the only one to let him in her life. Max is using demi to boot his career and it’s worked. I really do feel sick."
Another also shared a selection of Ehrich's interactions on female celebrity pages, and typed:
"#MaxEhrichIsOverParty max ehrich is a creep that has tried to get famous women’s attention for years (especially selena gomez) he is a clout chaser and was even commenting on many other women’s posts a few days before he got with his fiancé, demi lovato. [sic]"
Ehrich hasn't responded to any of the claims directly, but did share the following religious statement on his Instagram.
Comments were turned off for the post.
Lovato revealed she was engaged to Ehrich back in July, writing to her Instagram followers: "When I was a little girl, my birth dad always called me his 'little partner' - something that might've sounded strange without his southern cowboy like accent.
"To me, it made perfect sense. And today that word makes perfect sense again but today I’m officially going to be someone else's partner.
"@maxehrich - I knew I loved you the moment I met you."
She continued:
"It was something I can’t describe to anyone who hasn’t experienced it firsthand but luckily you did too... I've never felt so unconditionally loved by someone in my life (other than my parents) flaws and all. You never pressure me to be anything other than myself. And you make me want to be the best version of myself. I’m honored to accept your hand in marriage. I love you more than a caption could express but I'm ecstatic to start a family and life with you. I love you forever my baby. My partner. Here's to our future!!!!
"Ps. THANK YOU @angelokritikos FOR HIDING BEHIND ROCKS AND CAPTURING THE ENTIRE THING!!! I love you boo!!!"
The announcement would have come to a surprise to many, as the couple only made their relationship public on social media back on May 9, when Lovato shared a video of the pair together.
She captioned the clip: "Happy to be a part of something so special right now. Like really REALLY happy if you can’t tell..."
