“I know what you’re talking about,” Avril said, referring to the rumor she had died in 2003 after her debut album Let Go was released and was replaced with a doppelgänger named Melissa.
“I mean, it’s just funny to me. Like, on one end, everyone’s like, ‘You look the exact same. You haven’t aged a day.’ But then other people are like, there’s a conspiracy theory that I’m not me.”
“Honestly, it’s not that bad. It could be worse, right?” she went on to say. “I feel like I got a good one. I don’t feel like it’s negative. It’s nothing creepy.”
She added: “Obviously I am me, it’s so dumb.”
“I think that they’ve done that with other artists,” Avril said. “I’m not the only one. I think, like, other people have that.”
