Speaking to PR.com in 2008, Von D described tattoos as a form of expression: "I didn't do this as an attention-seeking act of rebelling. It was more, I actually just like this and I want to get tattooed, and I want it so much that I don't care if other people treat me differently." She said in the 11-minute video that an unnamed "Miami Ink" costar felt "threatened" by her popularity and strong women while she was still on the show. Von D said that at the time, this costar sabotaged her tattoo equipment, sent her inappropriate photos, touched her without her consent, and later used the anti-Semitic autograph, which Von D said was forged, in the hopes of canceling her spin-off show.
You're going to wear a maxi pad on your face?" Von D said to one employee who wore a mask, according to the complaint. She then asked her followers to not "shame" her family for learning how to use guns and "setting up safe storage" in their home to keep firearms. She also said she doesn't believe guns should be "taken lightly," or that people should be able to buy guns without proper training. The TMZ article and similar examples were widely recirculated in 2019, as some people argued that criticism against Von D's stance on vaccinations was hypocritical when the same was not shared in response to claims of her being anti-Semitic. She's now seeking unspecified damages, and alleges that she faced retaliation, discrimination in violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act, unlawful business practices, and wrongful termination, among other issues, while working under the celebrity tattoo artist. And so I sat down and I listened to the album," she continued. "And I was just so moved by it that I was like, what better way to respond than with writing an album? So, you know, I wasn't just going to go and dive into songwriting, like, not knowing what I'm doing."

Despite the reassurances from the brand, some longtime fans over on Reddit were wary about the change — as often happens with reformulations of classic products. While most were in favor of ditching the arguably problematic name Lolita, they hoped the formula and color they loved so much wouldn't stray too far from the original. During an appearance on the "Second Life" podcast in January 2020, Von D said the beauty industry has become "a culture thing" filled with influencerswho tell you what to buy and how to look to "be cool." In a lengthy Facebook post shared on March 19, 2015, Von D said she could understand "why some have found reason to be offended" by the name "Underage Red," which she took credit for creating. Still, she wanted to "correct" people who "clearly misinterpreted the name itself, and the inspiration behind it."
