Demi Lovato’s ex-fiance, Max Ehrich, was placed on psychiatric hold once again after showing alarming behavior online.
The 34-year-old actor and singer was taken by ambulance to a mental health facility in Florida on Saturday, per TMZ. Ehrich’s latest social media posts raised red flags, prompting his followers to alert authorities.
“The Young and the Restless” alum posted a string of erratic posts and provocative photos on Instagram, which got his fans worried about his well-being.

Ehrich confirmed to TMZ that he’s been released and is currently working with a sobriety coach.
Just last month, Ehrich was arrested after he allegedly physically assaulted his mother while abusing nitrous oxide.
At the time, the actor was on a live stream where he appeared huffing nitrous while his mother broke down in tears. Later, Ehrich’s mom told authorities that her son “heavily abuses inhalants” and had consumed nitrous oxide prior to the incident, per TMZ.
He was charged with battery, including domestic violence against a family member aged 65 or older. Ehrich was released on a $1,000 bond.
