Demi Lovato Responded to Her Fiancé’s Rumored Comments About Selena Gomez

Demi Lovato has some thing to say about rumored tweets attributed to her fiancé, Max Ehrich, that recently went viral.

In the alleged tweets (from before he and Lovato got together), Ehrich reportedly expressed his affection for Selena Gomez, writing things like “I’m going to marry @SelenaGomez.” J-14 reported on the tweets in July, but Ehrich has since deleted his Twitter account. The Blast also called out some of the earlier comments.

According to Elle, Ehrich also spoke about Gomez in an old Instagram Live. “I think she’s an extremely, extremely, extremely talented girl, and I’ve actually had a major crush on her since 2010,” he reportedly said. “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.”

Now Lovato is speaking out about the entire situation on her Instagram Stories. “It’s really sad when people FAKE images to put women against each other. If women have conflict that’s between them NOT YOU,” she wrote. “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.”

She continued, “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.”

She added, “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.” 

Whatever is going on, Demi Lovato is clearly Team Max Ehrich all the way.
