I think she only speaks English. Being quasi fluent in French myself I've never seen anything from her that indicates she can speak French. I mean, she obviously is familiar enough with the language after having studied it for a while that she could understand things here and there and speak some phrases, but I don't think she could engage in any level of communication in French from the few displays she's had over the years in interviews -- even after having lived in France. Unless she purposefully hides her proficiency, but that wouldn't make much sense. Unrelated, but have you guys seen Avril's latest instagram stories? Those videos of her skating and falling to the ground while laughing gave me such major throwbacks to the My World DVD with all those little clips of Avril and her band continuously falling down from skating. I totally agree with you. Every time she's "spoken" French she's said the typical words everyone knows in French. I mean, you don't need to attend language lessons to say oui, merci, de rien and ca va. That said, if she's ever studied French, I'd say she would have done A1 beginner's level. But again, if you don't practise your speaking skills, you're likely to forget everything you've learnt. As for her insta stories, now I do believe she couldn't actually skate (like properly skate) when she became famous in 2002. We've seen short videos of her in the BTS of Let Go, My World and some TV shows, but we've never seen her jump or do flips on the skateboard, right? some of us are just too scared of broken bones and other injuries to do more than push ourselves around! I will call all of us who did (or do) that vanilla skaters - it may not look all that impressive, but its still skating! (right?)

Very random question...
What relationship is there now between Avril and her brother Matt and sister ?
Matt has always been next to her for tour... where does he live?
And her sister is married to the guy from One Ok Rock and had a baby... I wonder though if Avril ever went to Japan (secretly) to visit her?
Now Wirth the lockdown seems impossible.. I'm so curious about it .. All her family seems so far all over the world

Hi everyone! Lately I've been wondering if Avril speak any languages beside English. I heard she lived in France once so I guess she knows French. And I think I saw a video in which she was speaking German but I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know about it? I don't think I've ever heard her speak German, but she said she studied French when she moved to France. Besides, she's said several times that her dad is originally from France and that she was going to apply for the French passport or citizenship. Question: is her dad from France or is he French Canadian? We don't know much of her family. I hadn't seen her parents until the WTH.tv episode. I didn't even realize that they were divorced. She said once she had a step mom but it was so brief I'm not sure if I imagined it. Her brother she spoke about often. Her brother is the one we know most about but idk where any of her family lives. Matt moved with her to NY when she got signed to have some kind of supervision I guess. But according to her she never did her school booklets so did she ever graduate high school? Her brother has been her bodyguard for years. Her sister, I only heard about recently when she married and gave birth to a kid with one of the one ok rock guys. They live in Japan. Avril shared a picture with the baby. I wonder how her sister got with that guy. Maybe they met through Avril cus she met them back in AL days no? They interviewed her on a tv show in Japan.

Yes, Avril lately posted about her mother on Ig for her birthday.. also Avril always said her mother was next to her during the acute Lyme disease.
About her father, haven't seen him since that time she sang WTH acoustic in a tv show and she was next to her father while singing, you can find it on YouTube.
About her brother Matt he was her bodyguard for years, I met him at every show basically.. his wife cured Avril's wardrobe during BST tour.. anyways we don't know what they're doing now.. I don't even think they have socials..
About her sister, yes she has one.. seen on MY WORLD dvd documentary and also during UMS era Avril took her on a red carpet. I don't really know how exactly she met her husband but obviously it must have been during that Listen collab. Anyways I remember when her sister went to LA to visit Avril years ago and Avril always posted stories..pictures with her.. She hasn't for so long. Of course it's her sister and they get along, but I really don't know how deep their relationship is..
Did Avril ever meet her Niece? it's not absolutely a critic.. but I really hope she went to Japan secretly or during HAW promo tour and met her.. cause it would be weird honestly otherwise

Avril's dad was born in France, so Avril automatically has French citizenship, but he grew up in Canada, so he is French-Canadian.
Her parents divorced around 2009 or so I think, each remarried, so yes Avril has stepparents.
Her brother moved with her to NYC when she made LG because she needed a guardian. I remember her saying in the Howard Stern interview I think her brother was able to get some kind of extra credit for school for doing it. Avril never graduated from high school as she left school when she got her record deal and didn't complete her studies on the road.
Matt has been the head of her security team since TBDT era and I'm pretty sure still is to this day. Not sure what he does when Avril's not on tour. His wife Amie was Avril's stylist for a while but isn't anymore and she also made an appearance in the WTH video as the store clerk. They have a couple kids I think.
Less is known about Michelle, other than the fact she married one of the members of One OK Rock, which must have certainly come out of Avril's relationship with them. They have a daughter together I believe. Unknown how often Avril goes to visit or where they even live.
IMO it's not really that important to know where Avril's family lives or how often she visits. It's not really our business and they deserve some privacy.

It's not really our business and they deserve some privacy. For some reason parents of a lot of musicians that I like the most (Avril, Taylor, Billie Joe, both front vocalists of Blink 182, I think a few members of MCR, etc.) seem to have come from split families like I myself do, I wonder if there's a connection or merely a coincidence.. Anyway, I agree about the privacy part, though I do very much understand where the (sometimes strange) curiosity comes from. I liked watching MTV Cribs back in the day (even though much of it was fake), and I still love when artists show their more mundane parts of life on snap or insta..

Lol of course there's privacy.. We're not stalking anyone, just randomly talking for curiosity. Seems weird to have a niece so far away from home ... I'm sure Avril flew to Japan randomly and secretly to meet her

Talking about Michelle, it's kinda crazy how Avril's popularity in Japan would lead her to meet a popular japanese rock band who one of it's member would then become her brother-in-law. I guess life's like this, it's full of surprises.

I never saw that interview before, so thanks for posting!
You can hear her talk about how annoying she thought it was to record harmonies and do her warmups and how Chad had to push her sometimes, it just shows the laziness of that era and how lazily put together the album was. She even said she had no direction when starting out. No wonder it’s objectively her worst album, it was so clear she didn’t even care about making it and it really shows.

1. OMG i just now realize how short these guys are LOL like, yeah, she's wearing heels but come one, she's like a kid and they're the same height lol. maybe 1'60-1'65 lol. btw i love taka and his voice, what a great singer.
2. WHAT IF they got to meet Avril through Michele instead? it's pretty unlikely BUT you never know... probably not but that would've been pretty funny. "hey Av, let me introduce you my fAmoUss friends LOL, you're nothing comapred to them here sis" 😂

So, an Italian article posted about the mysterious, fake Avril's song called "Dolphins" saying it's one of the biggest mysteries ever.
To be honest, I don't even remember at all this thing.. I remember the mess with the "Hello" song which was supposed to be included in the Wish You were Single (and it didn't exist), but really can't remember about this Dolphin song. Also the lyrics so lol.
Do you guys remember how and when this crazy s** started?
