Max Ehrich‘s mom is speaking out to deny the allegations about her son amid his arrest for domestic violence.
The 34-year-old actor was accused of attacking his mother at their home in Florida, but she says the reports have been twisted.
TMZ reported that the mom had told cops they got into an argument over her phone and then he “chased her outside into her neighbor’s backyard, pushed her to the ground and kicked her in the thigh.”
Max‘s mom released a new statement that seems to deny this is true though.

“The media and the narrative of my son attacking me is completely fabricated. A short video clip of an altercation that is being exaggerated for click bait does not discern the truth of what did and didn’t happen. The only villain in this is the fact that my son was kidnapped and forced to ingest a dangerous substance,” Rhonda Ehrich wrote on Instagram.
She continued, “My son is my best friend and one of the best people I know. My son lives a clean, healthy and sober lifestyle. All my son has ever wanted was a platform to share love and goodness to the world. These public exaggerations are harmful to my family. Falsely stating such is also defamation.”
“I am pursuing all legal avenues to clear my son’s name and to move beyond this instance where forced substance abuse created these conflicts. In a short amount of time I watched substance abuse take over his entire daily life because he was kidnapped and forced to do drugs with a group of bad characters and I struggled as any mother would with the demand to keep him safe as a grown man and protect him,” Rhonda said.
“He today is in rehab and he is getting the treatment he needs. A mother knows who their son is and isn’t. Those who know the real Max Ehrich know him for the kind, respectful, loving and talented young man that I’m proud to say is my incredible inspirational, brilliant, clean living amazing son. Max is devastated and extremely apologetic that the world had to series him fall from grace. At this time we as a family are asking for our privacy and healing prayers,” she concluded.
Two years ago, Max claimed that someone was impersonating him on Instagram when his account posted a reaction to Demi‘s new relationship.
