Controversy
Lexus has been known to produce controversial and idiotic statements for publicity, including extreme impoliteness, feats of hypocrisy and whatnot.
Johnny Braddock, guitarist for the rock band Get Scared, has stated that Nicholas Matthews, Lexus' current husband and bandmate, left the band as a result of Lexus' convincing. Stupidlexusfans, a tumblr blog dedicated to showing Lexus Amanda to a righteous path through the means of pictures, captions and text, confirms this statement and has provided a screenshot from Braddock's Formspring account.
Her online web store, blacklistedme.bigcartel.com, is well known for shipping out damaged packages with ridiculous refund policies and unprofessional business. Clients have been recorded to have waited as long as four months for their items and products to be shipped out and received. The store is also known to break bigcartel policies, the e-commerce site she uses to sell her accessories, such as selling worn clothing and increasing pricing due to 'sentimental value'. Most notably, she has sold a hole filled, filthy sweater, a possible medical and bacterial hazard to the customer, costing $19 from stores such as Forever 21 and Walmart, for $900 to a hardcore fan. She sprays the clothing with a perfume of hers, which is unadvised by store specialists as the customer could be allergic or have a reaction to the scent.
