Demi Lovato fans have accused her ex-fiancé Max Ehrich of “staging” crying photos at the site he proposed to her.
The singer called off their engagement in September, just two months after he proposed to her on the beach.
Over the weekend, Max returned to the Malibu beach, where he was snapped sitting on the sand crying.
Fans took to Twitter to react to the photos, with many accusing Max of “calling the paparazzi” himself – while others shared the video along with different dramatic tracks in the background.

The news comes after Max asked her fans to “stop bullying him” following their split.
Speaking to TMZ earlier this month, Max said it was “ridiculous” how some people believe he was “taking advantage of her fame”.
Max continued: “I just think we’re both anti-bullying people, so people should stop bullying people.”
“It’s ridiculous, and what people think it’s about has nothing to do with it. People just shouldn’t believe what they read.”
“We’re two human beings who are going through a tough time… just leave us alone, let us make our art, our music, our movies.”
When asked about Demi, the 29-year-old wished “her the best” and “nothing but happiness”.
Max spoke out about their split after Demi reportedly returned her engagement ring to him.
