Demi Lovato’s former fiancé, actor Max Ehrich, has been arrested for alleged domestic violence against an elderly family member. Ehrich, who was engaged to the “Heart Attack” singer for two months in 2020, was taken to jail on Tuesday for a battery charge on a person 65 or older, according to TMZ. The Emmy-nominated actor was released from jail on Wednesday after posting a $1,000 bond. Fans have been concerned with Ehrich’s social media behavior. He went live on Instagram Live multiple times with his mother, Rhonda, in the room on Tuesday. He also posted cryptic screenshots of the iPhone notes app. One note from Wednesday read, “My heart is broken :(” with the caption being his mom’s phone number, asking to send her money via Zelle. Ehrich, who proposed to Lovato after four months of dating, appeared in 120 episodes of the soap opera, The Young and the Restless, for which he received four Daytime Emmy nominations.
