Max Ehrich denies being behind the imposter account

The actor took to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, December 20, to clear the air and distance himself from the drama, as reported by Us Weekly. 

He wrote, “I am aware of the fake pages that were created to post fabricated and cruel messages about a truly joyful occasion in Demi’s life, a moment that should only be celebrated."

"That chapter of our shared lives was closed peacefully and privately a long time ago," he added. He also congratulated Lovato and Lutes on their engagement and asked to be left out of the narrative. 

“From the bottom of my heart I truly wish them a lifetime of peace and happiness. I ask respectfully to be removed from this narrative and for the fake accounts and posts to cease having any relevance," he continued.

Max Ehrich's fake sccount stirred up controversy

The day Demi Lovato announced her engagement with Jordan Lutes, an Instagram account with the username @maxehrich_ went viral after sharing several photos of Ehrich and Lovato during their relationship. 

One of the posts from the imposter account read, “I don’t regret anything I did, I did everything for love. Love you forever.” Another post targeted Lutes and blamed him for ruining Lovato’s happiness.
