Weeks before their breakup, the "Under the Dome" actor and Lovato have been plagued with controversies, following his alleged "thirsty messages" to pop stars Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and his fiance's former BFF, Selena Gomez. 

Ehrich received a massive online backlash after Twitter user @onlyforeverddl accused the 29-year-old actor of being a clout chaser with a hashtag #MaxEhrichIsOverParty.

Meanwhile, Demi Lovato sided with her fiance and insisted that the photos were "fake" and "doctored."

In addition, she urged the public and the media to put their energy on more serious matters instead of focusing on celebrity gossips and tearing relationships. 

"Secondly, don't y'all have more important s-t 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," Demi added.
