Zoe LaVerne Apologies for Her Past Actions, Says She’s Changed Now

Did she change or is it pretense?

Published

Zoe LaVerne is a changed person now and is issuing an apology for her old self!

LaVerne has been in a fair share of controversies to date, especially with Connor Joyce and Cody Orlove.

With Joyce, she was accused of grooming him. The footage of then-19-year-old LaVerne kissing 13-year-old Joyce went viral in 2020, prompting significant backlash.

The event generated a heated discussion about grooming and age differences in relationships. Many individuals chastised LaVerne for improper behavior with a kid, while others suggested that Joyce might not have been able to provide permission owing to his age.

The TikToker denied being in a relationship with Joyce, but she did admit to kissing him and saying the two caught feelings for each other. LaVerne also refuted accusations of grooming Joyce and having a sexual connection with them in a live-streamed apology in November 2020. 

She also apologized for kissing the underage teen and admitted that the age gap was unacceptable. Joyce also addressed the leaked footage through a live stream on his own social media platforms, admitting that he and LaVerne had become ‘more than friends.’

However, Joyce has maintained that LaVerne traumatized him.

Similarly, Orlove had also accused LaVerne of harassment. Orlove stated during an Instagram live that LaVerne was giving out his address and phone information to strangers.

He also claimed that her fan Emma Throne had been harassing him, including his family, for months.

So, when LaVerne took to TikTok to claim that she had changed, many believed it was an apology to Orlove and Joyce. In a now-deleted TikTok, she posted a couple of photos, one of which included Orlove’s.

As a result, many believed it was a direct apology to him. However, LaVerne clarified in another TikTok and Instagram Stories that she only used Orlove’s photo because he was a big part of her life.

She claimed that there was no drama between her and Orlove and that she did not use the picture to start any controversy. She wrote in her IG Stories, “Cody and I are not friends, but there is no drama, and I didn’t use the picture to cause ‘drama.’ The point of the post was to show you all that I am genuinely sorry and that I am not that person.”

Fans are conflicted about LaVerne’s TikTok and apology. Many have supported her, writing that it was nice that she was changing for the better.

On the other hand, many do not support her. They pointed out that it was not fair to ignore LaVerne kissing a minor, Joyce, and traumatizing him for the rest of his life.

One netizen wrote, “I don’t like how ppl simply let her get away with kissing a 13-year-old when she was 19…. If she was a man, ppl would have ripped her apart. Idk how she still has fans it’s beyond weird.”

“Even if she has ‘grown’ she did say the n-word and her digital footprint is so real, she still said what she said and I genuinely don’t know how everything she did lowkey got overlooked and forgotten so fast idk,” another fan commented.

At the time of writing, LaVerne has not commented on the backlash of her TikTok and apology.
