She “lost so much weight” and “was throwing up for days at a time.”
Upon hearing the news, she FaceTimed Lacour, crying about her diagnosis, and claims Lacour told her that “it’s OK” and “it’s not a big deal.”
She also took to social media and claimed the accused of knowingly spreading the disease. As a result, more women came forward with the same claim.
It wasn’t until the anonymous woman and Lacour went to the doctor together that she discovered he was HIV positive.
I convinced him to come to the doctor with me. He was supposed to get his blood drawn at the doctor’s office, but he started treatment the same day I started treatment.
Lacour’s attorney, Joel Porter, filed a motion for bond in March, but it was denied by a judge.The 30-year-old’s preliminary hearing is expected to occur later this month (April 21).
