In a follow-up tweet, the content creator wrote: “I want to add, I never groomed anyone. The person facing these allegations has openly supported that they are false,” she said, referring to the @LavaGS handle on X.
LavaGS also took to social media to defend Tyson, suggesting that the past conversation between them was not about personal grooming, but rather “sassy banter.” Also read – John Schneider and Dee Dee Sorvino get married in Las Vegas
Not only that LavaGS also condemn the YouTube channels that are spreading lies with their fake news
These videos are massive lies and twisting the truth. Ava never did anything wrong and just made a few edgy jokes. I was never exploited or taken advantage of.
