@yellowchairr began her twitter thread by stating that at the time of the conversation the girls were 14 and 15 years old. She then posted multiple screen recordings of their conversations with Lacoste, including many crude and inappropriate messages.

The conversations came as a result of a plan that @yellowchair and her friend made, as they believed there was something off about the way the tattoo artist spoke to them. She says in one of her tweets "We decided to make a separate romeo acc from our main to do everything we both decided what to say to him and at times we didn’t have to say much for him to act the way he did.". She also stated that Lacoste was aware that she was underage, however this did not stop him sending the inappropriate messages.

Lacoste has tattooed some big name celebrities; including Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and James Charles, so when the news broke that he had sent such messages to underage fans the twitter community exploded with drama, and more and more girls were coming foreward with their similar experiences of talking to Lacoste.

When confronted on the popular DramaAlert YouTube channel, Lacoste avoided multiple

direct questions from host Keemstar, and consistently passed blame onto the girls he

was talking to as opposed to answering the questions. In the interview, Lacoste also stated he "wanted to say that some are real and some are fabricated" about the multitude of claims he had been faced with. He's also caught saying "these girls came onto me first", digging his grave even deeper.

Since the allegations, Lacoste deactivated his twitter account, has not posted anything on instagram, and has disabled his instagram comments section.
