Ava Max Previously Addressed Critics And Online Hate
While Max may appear unbothered in her bold social media posts, the singer has previously admitted that navigating fame, criticism, and constant comparisons hasn’t always been easy. “Some people don’t understand pop stars,” Max previously said with a laugh. “I’m very theatrical. I make some weird faces. People might think I’ve lost my mind. And in fact, I may have.”
As her career continued to grow, Max acknowledged that leveling up in pop music also came with increased scrutiny online. “The comments online have been kind of mean,” she admitted. “[But] this music is helping so many people, I can never stop.”
Refusing To Let Critics Slow Her Down
Despite facing criticism and frequent comparisons to other major pop stars, Max made it clear she refuses to let negativity slow her down.
“No matter how many haters there are out there, or people who want to bring you down, or people who think I’m a Lady Gaga comparison, which is huuuh-larious,” she said, proving she’s more focused on her music and fans than the online noise.
Ava Max Opened Up About Disturbing Experiences Early In Her Career
Before becoming a chart-topping pop star, Max previously revealed that her path to success in Los Angeles came with painful setbacks and troubling experiences behind the scenes.
After moving to L.A. full-time to write songs and record demos, the singer admitted she struggled to gain traction and faced situations that nearly made her walk away from music entirely. “There have been times when not good things have happened and I thought maybe I shouldn’t be doing this,” Max shared, recalling several “scarring” experiences involving sexual harassment.
According to the singer, some industry professionals allegedly withheld her demo recordings unless she agreed to sleep with them, something she described as deeply upsetting. “I wouldn’t get my demos back from some songwriters and producers I worked with because they wanted to sleep with me,” she said. “It was really nauseating. I would cry and think, Oh my God, I feel disgusted. How do I even go back into a studio with another guy?”
Despite the difficult experiences, Max ultimately pushed forward in the industry, eventually carving out a successful pop career on her own terms.
