Zoe Laverne kissing 13-year-old controversy

In October 2020, a video leaked of Laverne appearing to kiss a 13-year-old fan named Connor, sparking an immense amount of backlash online against the influencer.

However, Laverne denied that she “groomed” Connor, saying in a live stream: “I didn’t groom Connor, I wouldn’t do that. He’s a kid and I’m aware of that. It just happened. We both were in a dark place when we first became friends and we both just ended up catching feelings for each other.

“And friends do that, they catch feelings for each other. That’s not a bad thing. Yes, the age is a bad thing. Yes, it’s wrong. Yes, it’s not good. We both realized that and we stopped.”

Zoe Laverne & Charli D’Amelio drama

Back in July 2020, Zoe came under fire after a video began circulating of her reacting to Charli D’Amelio coming close to surpassing her followers, crying and calling D’Amelio a “b*tch.”

At a later date, Zoe went on to mock the leaked audio in her own TikTok videos, but the backlash was reignited in November 2020 when another recording of Zoe talking about Charli leaked.

“If you’re gonna defend a f**king stinky ass wh*re, don’t f**king ring me in the car. I’m not gonna sit in there, and act like I like Charli D’Amelio, okay?”

After Charli commented “@zoexlaverne this you?” on an Instagram post containing the video, Zoe revealed on a live stream that she had sent “paragraphs and paragraphs” of apologies, to which she claimed she did not receive a reply.


Despite her controversies, Zoe still has a sizeable active fanbase, and she continues to upload videos of both herself and her family to TikTok, often garnering millions of views.
