Avril Lavigne, the pop-punk princess of the early 2000s, is ready to set the record straight. In an upcoming appearance on the popular podcast ‘Call Her Daddy,’ Lavigne is expected to tackle a conspiracy theory that has dogged her for over a decade.
Additionally, the theory stems from the idea that Avril was replaced by a body double named Melissa. Despite the rumor being very bizarre a lot of OG Lavigne fans believe it to be true and it has been a running thing for several years.

What Was The Avril Lavigne Replacement Conspiracy Theory?
The rumor claims that the pressures of fame became too much for Lavigne shortly after the release of her mega-hit debut album ‘Let Go’ in 2002. Believers in the theory speculate that she tragically died by suicide and her record company, desperate not to lose their cash cow, secretly replaced her with a lookalike named Melissa Vandella. This elaborate tale is fueled by supposed ‘evidence’.
Subtle changes in Lavigne’s appearance like a mole disappearing or a slightly different hairstyle only fueled the fire. Fans have also pointed to lyrics in her follow-up album, ‘Under My Skin,’ as containing hidden messages hinting at her demise. However, her appearance on ‘Call Her Daddy’ suggests she’s ready to confront it head-on. So, her addressing the theory once and for all had the theorists excitedly.

Avril Lavigne Previously Called The Conspiracy Theory “Dumb”
Lavigne herself has addressed the theory before, calling it “dumb” and “flabbergasted” that anyone would believe it. Host Alex Cooper, known for her no-holds-barred approach will surely get Lavigne to spill the tea on the origin of the rumor and how it’s affected her life.
Whether Lavigne will definitely shut down the conspiracy theory or simply poke fun at it remains to be seen. However, one thing’s for sure this ‘Call Her Daddy’ episode promises to be a juicy and entertaining listen for fans. Whether they believe the rumor or not. After all, who doesn’t love a good pop culture mystery even if it is a completely fabricated one?
