Not long ago, Van Pelt and LaVerne seemed to be the best of friends. They frequented each other\u2019s social media channels nearly every day, with LaVerne comforting her during her messy split with Jack Hess over the summer. But with LaVerne facing intense scrutiny over her relationship with a 13-year-old minor \u2013 which Van Pelt had previously criticised as \u201cintense\u201d and akin to \u201cp**dophillia\u201d in a private exchange with Cody Orlove \u2013 Van Pelt has attempted to move on from their friendship and carry on posting as normal. However, the Zoe LaVerne fandom \u2013 who refer to themselves \u2018zonuts\u2019 \u2013 have continued to target Van Pelt in the wake of LaVerne\u2019s latest controversy. In a recent Instagram live, Van Pelt called out \u2018zonuts\u2019 for one specific comment they kept making to her: namely, that LaVerne \u201csaved her life\u201d amid Van Pelt\u2019s messy breakup over the summer. \u201cNobody [saved my life] but me. It was me!\u201d Van Pelt insisted in response to the claims. \u201cI\u2019m the only reason I\u2019m still here, and I want to make that very clear.\u201d What happened between Amber and Zoe? Zoe LaVerne and Amber Van Pelt\u2019s friendship came to an abrupt end in the early autumn of 2o2o. The last time Van Pelt posted about LaVerne was in early September of this year.

She also revealed in an Instagram live that LaVerne fabricated a rumor that she stole 11,000$ from the disgraced TikTok star.
