On April 21, 2022, zoegoneparty, a gossip Instagram account dedicated to LaVerne, posted a video from one of her FaceTime. While talking to someone, she called them the f-word.
She immediately recognized her mistake in doing so, covering her mouth with her hands. zoegoneparty provided context to the video in the caption.
"zoe is straight, she's said it before on live," the account wrote, justifying LaVerne's use of the word as derogatory and anti-LGBTQ.
Then, they pinpointed, "she's wearing her merch, it's recent." LaVerne wearing her merch apparently proves this FaceTime happened recently, and the video wasn't from the past.
The page also claimed the clip was "UNSEEN AND UNLEAKED."
