I know many of you are expecting a response. I have taken time to reflect on the situation, what happened, and what to learn from it. The audio clip that was released contained an argument between Zoe and me and it was recorded and released without either of our knowledge or consent. Nothing is more important in this situation than my integrity and I am willing to embrace doing the right thing in this situation as an adult, even if many of the details are incorrect. First and foremost, I do not condone violence, abuse or physical altercations. I have become increasingly aware as a young adult how important the discussion of this topic is. I have been given a platform and my only hope is use it for good and spread awareness about these important issues moving forward. Regarding Zoe and our relationship, there were never any marks or physical damage between the two of us. The suggestion that I abused her has be skewed and misrepresents everything I am and everything I believe as a person. We both have realized that no level of stress in a relationship warrants hurting someone emotionally, verbally, or physically, ever. Especially someone you truly love. As teens, we found ourselves in a toxic relationship where we both participated in unhealthy behavior that at times went too far on both of our parts. This wasn’t our first fight. We worked through so many of them together and always came out stronger. I love Zoe deeply as a person. I have loved her from the very beginning of our relationship and I still have so much love for her today. But there were many mistakes in our relationship on both parts. Our love does not excuse bad conduct and I intend to learn from my mistakes. Please accept this as an apology for the things I have said or done on my part to hurt Zoe. I have made a commitment to change and I expect to be held accountable to the commitments and promises I make as an adult public figure and even more so as a man. When it comes to such an important topic, it is my duty to use my platform to raise awareness, promote change, and grow as a person. I am forever grateful for those who have given me a chance to grow. I will not let you down.

Cody Orlove and Zoe LaVerne have been on-and-off in their relationship.

As a previous Distractify article reveals, Cody and Zoe started dating in 2017. They got their first taste of real fame when they launched their shared YouTube channel in April 2018. 

They broke up for the first time in March 2019, after Cody found out that Zoe had cheated on him. Too wary of losing their reputation, they continued to vlog together.

They realized they still had feelings for each other, and gave the relationship another shot. Since ending their relationship, fans have taken sides with some not believing Zoe's claims while others are canceling Cody for his alleged behavior.
