She attempted to denounce the criminal nature of her actions involving Connor Joyce before justifying why she didn't belong in a jail cell. She highlighted how several people on TikTok are using her name for clout.

"None of you know what actually happened. Police got involved in my situation and I'm pretty sure if I was a threat to children or if I groomed him , I would be in jail. I kissed a minor. Yeah, that's awful and should have not happened but I got help and took accountability for it"

From cries of pedophilia doing the rounds to allegations of grooming being leveled against her, Zoe Laverne has been subjected to a perennial wave of backlash recently.

Having had a look at the reactions to her recent video, it seems like dissent is continuing to brew online.

"The amount of negativity on this app is ridiculous. You make people out to be monsters and we're not. Stop putting people down for their past. Educate them and make them be better. My past is my past for a reason. It's time to work on my future and better myself. You can stay with me on my journey or you can leave."

She didn’t take accountability, she made excuses.And the reason she isn’t in jail, is because female predators are not prosecuted like men are.Plus has she ever heard of survivors don’t always come forward?

There's literally no reason for someone to support zoelaverne. "I support zoe but not her actions" that's like saying I like to swim but I don't like the water 😐
