Avril Lavigne considers a certain conspiracy idea that has been made about her. Call Her Daddy’s Wednesday, May 15 program featured the 39-year-old singer of Complicated responding to the “dumb” allegation that she was replaced by a body double going by the name of “Melissa.”
Lavigne said she understood exactly the rumor the 29-year-old host was referring to when Alex Cooper asked her what the wildest rumor she had heard about herself.

She said she knew what they were talking about, referencing the internet rumors from the early 2000s claiming that the Canadian pop-punk singer had died in 2003 after her debut album Let Go was released and was replaced by a doppelgänger named Melissa.
They all said she looked exactly the same, not a day older, and she thought that was funny. She did point out that a lot of people believed there was a conspiracy theory claiming she wasn’t really herself.
“Honestly, it’s not that bad. It could be worse, right?” she admitted with a laugh. “I feel like I got a good one. I don’t feel like it’s negative. It’s nothing creepy. Obviously, I am me; it’s so dumb.”
