TikTok users have called her out for supporting David's actions.

One of them commented “When you try to be famous but can’t without David.” and adding to that another said, "So irrelevant without David."

She did mention that she does not condone or support any sexual misconduct and even mentioned a video that had been taken of the group doing some inappropriate activities because David believed it was worth it for content. Despite being an alleged victim of David's, she still supports him as her friend which seems to confuse fans.
