Demi Lovato’s former fiancé Max Ehrich alarmed fans on Tuesday when he posted a disturbing series of posts and acted erratically on a livestream.
One user said it appeared that Emmy-nominated actor, 34, was ‘experiencing a mental health crisis’ in the clip, in which he was with his mother Rhonda.
The user cited similar behavior exhibited by other celebrities in describing what it appeared the Marlboro Township, New Jersey-born actor was going through.
‘Max Ehrich is pulling an Aaron Carter/Kanye West right now and it’s very concerning,’ the user said. ‘I really hope someone in his circle is able to intervene.’
One user said that Ehrich was ‘constantly going live on Instagram’ with ‘his poor mother crying in the corner.’
Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Ehrich for further comment on the story and has yet to hear back.

Lovato said at the time, ‘@maxehrich – I knew I loved you the moment I met you. It was something I can’t describe to anyone who hasn’t experienced it firsthand but luckily you did too.
She continued, ‘I’ve never felt so unconditionally loved by someone in my life (other than my parents) flaws and all.
‘You never pressure me to be anything other than myself. And you make me want to be the best version of myself.’
Lovato concluded in saying, ‘I’m honored to accept your hand in marriage. 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!!!!’
