In 2012, Lepore issued a statement announcing his departure from the band.[5] After leaving the band, Lepore also provided featured vocals on the song "Black Death" for beatdown hardcore band No Zodiac.[6] Lepore and No Zodiac maintained close ties for many years. Lepore also embarked on a European tour with No Zodiac in 2013 where he provided lead vocals substituting for the band's then-vocalist Gerardo Pavon, who was unable to travel outside the country because of visa issues. Many of Curtis’ [Vine] videos involve collaborations with other Vine stars such as Lele Pons, Christian DelGrosso and KingBach.[7] Lepore was one of the first clients of Vine talent agency, Grape Story.[8] Until a controversy in 2013, Lepore was part of one of the first online celebrity couples with his relationship to video blogger Jessi Vazquez.[1] They were supposedly introduced by Jessica's manager and engaged in a handful of public stunts and appearances as part of their relationship, including a public meeting in Washington Square Park which featured a live band and a special hashtag to commemorate the event.[1] At the time, Lepore had over 1 million Vine followers.[1] As of February 2014, Lepore has 7.5 million followers on Vine.[9] Personal lifeLepore was raised in Smithtown, New York. He attended SUNY Oswego before moving to Los Angeles.[10] He is vegan and straight edge.[11] He had a Boston Terrier named Buster Beans whom he adopted in 2010 from an elderly couple who could no longer care for him.[12] As of March 2015, Buster had over a million of his own followers on Vine.[7] Buster passed away later in 2016. Lepore is actively involved in a variety of national and local charitable organizations, such as Stuff-A-Truck, a project which focuses on donating toys to underprivileged children.[13] Legal issuesIn October 2013, Lepore was alleged to have raped his then-girlfriend, Jessi "Smiles" Vazquez.[14] The incident occurred when Vazquez was in Los Angeles recovering from a concussion. Vazquez stated that Lepore came over to help while she was recovering, and once asleep, Lepore raped her.[14][15] Charges were filed in January 2014; Lepore, who pleaded not guilty to the charge, was released on $100,000 bail.[16][17] In February 2014, Lepore took a plea deal in the case; the rape charges were dropped and he pleaded guilty to felony assault.[15][18] In February 2015, Lepore's felony assault charges were reduced to a misdemeanor.[19] FilmographyMusic videos
