A Troubling Turn: Max Ehrich, formerly engaged to Demi Lovato, Faces Domestic Violence Charges
Max Ehrich, an actor once publicly connected to Demi Lovato, is currently facing serious legal troubles in Florida amidst accusations of domestic violence involving a family member. But here's where it gets controversial—these allegations have sparked a lot of discussions about his recent behavior and mental state.
According to law enforcement sources, Max was taken into custody Tuesday night on a charge of battery against a person aged 65 or older, with the incident reportedly falling under domestic violence laws involving a relative. This situation escalated quickly, and by Wednesday, Max managed to post a $1,000 bond and was released from jail.
The arrest coincides with growing fan concerns over Max's conduct in the days prior. Fans noticed erratic behavior during his multiple Instagram Live sessions on Tuesday, where he made vague, puzzling statements. His mother was present during some of these live broadcasts, but it remains unclear whether she is the family member involved in the battery allegation.
For those unfamiliar, Max Ehrich is well-known for his role as Fenmore Baldwin on the soap opera "The Young and the Restless," appearing in 120 episodes. He also has credits in films like "High School Musical 3: Senior Year," "Southern Gospel," and "A Cowboy Christmas Romance." His relationship with Demi Lovato grabbed headlines when he proposed to her just four months after they began dating in July 2020. However, the engagement was short-lived, ending by late September of the same year.
Attempts have been made to reach Max and his mother for comment, but no responses have been received at this time.
