In a chilling and surreal sequence of events, Max Ehrich was arrested early on October 8, 2025, in St. Lucie County, Florida, for allegedly assaulting his 65-year-old mother during a live Instagram broadcast. Reports say he had been using nitrous oxide beforehand, and the altercation escalated when he tried to seize her phone, eventually forcing her to flee into a neighbor’s house.
He was released later the same day on $1,000 bond, while authorities documented references to the Baker Act, hinting at mental health concerns.
Leading up to the arrest, followers watched with mounting alarm as Ehrich posted cryptic “Notes” messages like “My heart is broken :(,” published his mother’s phone number, and urged fans to send her money.
On the night of the incident, he went live with his mother visible, and in parts of the footage, he appears agitated while she breaks down in the background. The livestreamed content soon became viral evidence.
In a dramatic public statement, Rhonda Ehrich vehemently denied the assault allegations, stating that the footage was manipulated and asserting that her son was “kidnapped” and forced to ingest a substance.
