Now, we all love a conspiracy theory – but this one is just makes us think What The Hell? But twitter is still Holding On to it, and definitely not Losing Grip…
During the early ‘00s, a rumor floated around that Avril Lavigne had died, after she became depressed by the death of her grandfather. Before this rumor, we knew that Lavigne had a body double that she often used to avoid the paparazzi. And it’s said that when Avril Lavigne died, she was replaced by this body double (Melissa), to make her fans none the wiser, and to continue her pop punk, Sk8er Boi domination. Of course, we all brushed it off as Hollywood nonsense, but the theory has since resurfaced – and social media has gone wild for it.
This new resurfacing has come after Avril Lavigne superfan, @givenchyass took to Twitter on Friday to unload her opinions on the matter in one heck of a Twitter thread, and has had quite a response. Here’s just a few of her tweets:
up until this point she was so used to being able to live a normal life and now that she was famous, she couldn’t handle the paparazzi

so she decided to hire a look alike to walk around LA for her and pose for the paparazzi (avril on the left, look alike on the right) pic.twitter.com/wNSrDVh09i

tragically, avril’s grandfather passed away and it hurt her so much. he was her bestfriend and her biggest supporter

other sources even said she threatened to kill herself and tried to attempt several times because she felt she couldn’t go on without him

she was at the peak of her career, so it is said that instead of letting the news of her dying go into the media, they used her look alike

then all of a sudden in 2007, “avril” (melissa) released the best damn thing and she had a new look and a new style (avril 2004, avril 2007) pic.twitter.com/CuWn8YcNke

Of course, the theory is all speculation, but it’s worked up quite a storm on Twitter. Some people see some truth in it, others pass it off as complete nonsense. What do you think?
The face you make when you hear #Avril Lavigne is dead and was replaced by a clone! pic.twitter.com/v8kklGRKQm

You know you’re too old when the #Avril Lavigne conspiracy is trending again, and you weren’t even aware of it the first time.
