Max Ehrich is setting the record straight.
After “fabricated and cruel” social media uploads of him allegedly reacting to Demi Lovato and Jordan “Jutes” Lutes’ engagement went viral, the actor clapped back via Instagram Stories.
“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,” Ehrich, 32, told his followers on Wednesday.
“That chapter of our shared lives was closed peacefully and privately a long time ago,” he continued, referencing their 2020 romance.
Ehrich praised his ex-fiancée’s latest relationship milestone, writing, “From the bottom of my heart I truly wish them a lifetime of peace and happiness.”
He concluded, “I ask respectfully to be removed from this narrative and for the fake accounts and posts to cease having any relevance. Thank you and God Bless.”
The fake rant, which claimed that Ehrich would “love [Lovato] forever,” read, “The love of her life … has always been me, now she will be unhappy for the rest of her life.”
A source told Pvnew at the time that the posts were “absolutely not” from Ehrich and, instead, written by ” somebody cutting and pasting to make it look” that way as a “cruel trick.”
Ehrich and Lovato, 31, had a whirlwind relationship amid the coronavirus pandemic, with the “Young and the Restless” star getting down on one knee in July 2020 after five months of dating.
“I’m honored to accept your hand in marriage,” the former Disney Channel star captioned proposal pictures at the time. “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!!!!”
News broke two months later that the former couple had called it quits, and Lovato publicly began dating Jutes, 32, in August 2022.
The pair shared their engagement news over the weekend, debuting the bride-to-be’s $150K pear-shaped ring.
“I’m still speechless. last night was the best night of my life and I can’t believe I get to marry the love of my life,” Lovato gushed via Instagram on Sunday.
“My love, I’m beyond excited to marry you,” the “Sonny With a Chance” alum added. “Every day I’ve spent with you has been a dream come true and I can’t wait to love and cherish you forever. Here’s to the rest of our lives. I love you baby
