====2014 Vegetarian Wager====
 
  
After losing a friendly wager on who would make the finals of American Idol's 13th season, Zinn went on a [[wikipedia:vegetarian|vegetarian diet (or meat boycott)]] from March 1, 2014 until December 17, 2014 following the conclusion of the [[wikipedia:Hell's Kitchen (U.S. season 13)|thirteenth season of ''Hell's Kitchen'']] as La Tasha McCutchen was announced the winner, effectively ending the meat strike 17 days early. Zinn states the final meat product she consumed was a pork steak on February 28, 2014. The vegetarian diet became permanent on January 4, 2015.
 
  
====March 2015 Arrest ====
 
  
On March 12, 2015 while rehearsing for a Vote for the Girls episode, just three hours before the start of the American Idol 14 Top 12 Result, while in negotiation to find a way to keep Vote for the Girls in production during a remodel of the Vote for the Girls set resulting in Zinn (and Alvaraz in addition to the VFTG staff) being displaced, and was not willing to have production interrupted, defending her moderator's contract.  Zinn, irate, stressed that under the terms of Zinn's contract--as per Vote for the Girls moderator rules--have be promptly present on the performance (and/or results) night from 8 p.m. Eastern (7 p.m. Central) to its conclusion and record the site's presentation of the results show(s) night both at the home location of Aeverine Zinn Holdings, and cannot be interrupted, delayed, or joined in progress for any reason. Zinn insisted that she wanted to do a temporary transfer of the networks d, resulting in no interruptions. Upon hearing this, Zinn said “I want this done the way I want to handle this with and ''ZERO INTERRUPTIONS''!”, and during the comment, pounded three times saying, “''ZERO INTERRUPTIONS''!” and got into the official’s face as the available resolutions Zinn was offered did not meet Zinn’s standards and swearing at the official. Zinn was ejected and was initially given a one-show suspension and a year probation from NoSirGifts. <ref>{{cite web|title=Ava Zinn thrown out after arrest|url=http://voteforthegirls.us/2015/03/12/ava-zinn-arrested-for-assault-and-disorderly-conduct/|date=12 March 2015|accessdate=12 March 2015}}</ref> Zinn served a one episode suspension for Vote for the Girls USA and UK from March 12-23 and March 21, respectively.
 
 
Then upon seeing her pick of [[wikipedia:Sarina-Joi Crowe|Sarina-Joi Crowe]] was not saved, Zinn was shown allegedly hitting VFTG moderator [[Rhonda Rhodes]] under the chin to get her to make eye contact. Although Zinn didn't comment on the incident afterwards and has not yet done so, Rhodes, her wife (Tricia), and NoSirGifts President and CEO Jack Steele insisted that Zinn did nothing wrong and that she merely lifted Rhodes' chin and told her, "Hold your head up and don't worry about mistakes. Just vote for our picks." Rhodes commented, "She was trying to teach me and I had my head down so she raised my chin up. She was telling me to go out there and don't be afraid to make mistakes. She said I was being too hard on myself after Shi Scott and Lovey James were eliminated."  Rhodes later died on March 14, 2015.
 
 
====2010 and 2015 Sexual Assaults====
 
On June 10, 2010, Zinn was admitted to [[wikipedia:Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital|Methodist Hospital]] after being sexually assaulted by a black man in Indianapolis.  She was released on June 11, 2010.  Zinn returned to the production of ''Vote for the Girls'' as scheduled the following July.
 
 
Zinn suffered a second sexual assault on the afternoon of April 22, 2015<ref>{{cite news | title=‘Vote for the Girls’ webmaster Ava Zinn hospitalized with rape | date=25 April 2015 | url=| work=WTOR-FTV CBS 41 | accessdate=3 May 2015}} </ref> by a black woman that had unprotected sexual intercourse without Zinn's consent. However, she returned to the ''Vote for the Girls'' set the same night filming of the American Idol Top 6 Result, and the moderator panel questioned Zinn's mental state at the time.
 
 
In May 2017, Zinn announced on her YouTube channel she had been sexually assaulted fifteen years earlier.
 
 
====September 2016 Burger King Incident====
 
On September 2, 2016, a clip of Zinn delivering news about an accident she witnessed while walking on the north west side of Marion, Indiana thirty minutes earlier on her personal Facebook profile. In the video, a Burger King customer honked directly at Zinn, to which she later admitted to almost swearing yet posted #ThugLife on her YouTube channel. The incident received praise from viewers and fans, who praised Zinn's unexpected and [[wikipedia:deadpan|deadpan]] delivery.
 
 
====2016-17 Mental State Concern, Ulcers and Domestic Violence incident====
 
From November 2014 until May 2018, viewers in the United States and United Kingdom began noticing that Zinn's voice sounded uncharacteristically gravelly and unhealthy during Vote for the Girls shows.
 
 
Zinn's poor mental health also prevented her from completely covering the [[Death of Christina Grimmie|death and funeral of Christina Grimmie]] and a previously scheduled episode that was scheduled to be aired at the start of 2017.  On May 31, 2017, Zinn informed viewers through a Facebook Live message that she had been bullied and cyber-bullied and became a bully herself with post traumatic stress disorder, and was starting treatment the following week.
 
 
During an interview with [[Karly Jameson]] on [[The Karly Ryder, Jr. Show|''The Karly Jameson Show'']] on January 4, 2017, Kymberly Alvaraz and Holly Everman revealed to Jameson that Zinn had hosted ''Vote for the Girls'' while she was visibly depressed for the last two years. [[Sophia Blanca|Sophia Williams]] also expressed her concern as she felt "Zinn didn't properly announce the winning moderator upon [[Wikipedia:Laurie Hernandez|Laurie]]'s victory and the episodes had been recently shoddy at best" but Williams did indicate Zinn did properly congratulate her and [[Maci Blanca|her then-girlfriend (now transgendered wife)]] as the winning moderator of the 11th season of ''The Voice''. Everman recalled during rehearsals for "The Voice 11 Semi-Final Result", Zinn wore a winter hat and wore the same exact outfit when [[DaNica Shirey]] was eliminated approximately two years earlier after [[State of Indiana v. Kymberly Alvaraz|Zinn's girlfriend was acquitted]] for [[Kym Christian shooting incident|fatally shooting]] [[Khayla Chow]] and never saw Zinn wear a skirt or dress in public from her April 22, 2015 sexual assault until a week after Zinn began vaping in March 2017.
 
 
In a Facebook post by Alvaraz on January 18, 2017 and by Zinn a day earlier, it was revealed that Zinn was diagnosed with a [[wikipedia:Peptic ulcer|stomach ulcer]] and was starting treatment the following Monday. <ref>{{cite news | title=‘Vote for the Girls’ webmaster Ava Zinn sidelined by stomach ulcer| date=18 January 2017| url=| work=WTOR-FTV CBS 41 | accessdate=19 January 2017}} </ref> Zinn stated the ulcer was attained she was involved in a "classic case of workplace violence" after Zinn learned something was done without her knowledge or consent.
 
 
 
On January 19, 2017, Zinn was involved in a domestic violence incident with Alvaraz after Alvaraz chocked Zinn over a $650 dental bill.<ref name="dv-Alvaraz">{{cite news | title=Kymberly Alvaraz arrested for domestic battery | date=21 January 2017| url=| work=WTOR-FTV CBS 41 | accessdate=24 January 2017}} </ref>  Zinn arrested Alvaraz at Zinn's apartment in Marion, Indiana after Zinn gouged Alvaraz's eye. Alvaraz was escorted by Zinn's 18-year-old adopted daughter, Ashli, to the Marion Police headquarters at approximately 3:30 p.m. Thursday, January 19, 2017, and Alvaraz was charged with second-degree strangulation, second-degree battery, second-degree threatening and disorderly conduct for allegedly choking her girlfriend, Ava Zinn.<ref name="dv-Alvaraz"/> On January 20, 2017, Alvaraz pleaded no contest to threatening and breach of peace charges.
 
 
====October 2017 Incidents====
 
On October 2, 2017, Zinn suffered a bite wound on her left wrist by Pink Team East and fellow [[The I-69ers|I-69er]] moderator [[Maribel Mort]] upon seeing local contestant [[Addison Agen]] (Zinn picked Agen due to strict moderator rules) did not get a four chair turn during the blind auditions of [[wikipedia:The Voice (U.S. season 13)|season 13]] of ''The Voice'' on October 2, 2017, Mort shoved Pink Team North moderator [[Andrea Coolranch]] onto the floor after Coolranch reportedly pulling Mort's hair-tie and repeatedly throughout the episode, Pink Team South moderators [[Karla Hansen]], [[Breeanna Sorensen]] and [[Jenna Monroe]], and Zinn's fellow Purple Team moderators [[Thia Tola]] and [[Jenny Riva]] all lost their tempers as Mort pulled off Coolranch's necklace and Riva ripping off Tola's pants.  Riva and Mort respectively then threw Tola's pants and Coolranch's necklace onto the notorious [[Cat Pound]] fan section of Ava Zinn and [[Alexandra Moffitt]] audience and were promptly thrown to the ground by Sorensnen. Riva and Mort then proceeded to strike Tola and Hansen, respectively, on the back of their heads before being pulled away by Purple Team North Moderators [[Rachael Passalt]] and [[Kendra Ray]].
 
 
On October 10, 2017, Zinn suffered a minor shulder injury after Red Team West Villain [[Kye Sanchez]] punched Red Team South Villain [[Clark Jones]] after Jones took offense to a comment made by Zinn's fellow Purple Team moderator [[Devin Martin]] as the audition of a villain's audition on ''The Voice'' and an argument between Martin, [[Bria Savage]], Purple Team South Moderators [[Tim Doogan]] and [[Ben Donbar]]. Zinn fell to the floor in the incident.
 
 
A week later, on October 16, 2017, Zinn was stabbed by Pink Team West moderator [[Sally Brock]] during a bench-clearing brawl on the set of Vote for the Girls USA. Brock was tackled by security officers, identified as [[Hank Cash]] and [[George Williamston]], on the set and was arrested. Fellow moderators [[Nadia Lorenzo]], [[Marla McClinton]], and Andrea Coolranch also suffered injuries with Zinn suffering stab wounds to the neck and forearms (narrowly missing Zinn's respective [[wikipedia:Transverse cervical artery|cervical (neck)]] and  [[wikipedia:Brachial artery|brachial arteries]] by millimeters). Zinn's fellow Purple Team colleagues [[Peta-Alyce Kaizer]] and [[Benjamin Donbar|Ben Donbar]] died from similar wounds Zinn suffered from as Kaizer and Donbar had extensive blood loss through a severed [[wikipedia:Brachial artery|brachial arteries]] .
 
 
Brock and her brother [[Kent Morgan]] were arrested by security guards on the VFTG set. Police said both Brock and Morgan had confessed.
 
 
Morgan and Brock were both charged with two counts of [[wikipedia:Felony murder rule|felony first-degree murder]] and four counts of [[wikipedia:Assault#Aggravated assault|aggravated assault]].  If convicted, both Brock and Morgan, they could be sentenced to life imprisonment.
 
 
====2022-23 Overall health scare====
 
Throughout the summer of 2022, observers noticed Zinn appearing uncharacteristically appearing and her voice sounding gravely ill, particularly during taping for the [[Caprice & Ella (season 4)|fourth season]] of ''[[Caprice & Ella]]''.
 
 
Zinn's poor overall health also prevented her from completing production of "[[Breaking Boiling Point (Caprice & Ella)|Breaking Boiling Point]]", which was eventually completed on November 3, 2022.
 
 
On November 1, 2022, Zinn sustained a major back injury and ankle sprain following the aforementioned move in "Breaking Boilling Point." The back spasam was confirmed on December 12, 2022 and ankle sprain was determiend to be caused by [[wikipedia:Type II diabetes|type 2]] [[wikipedia:diabetes|diabetes]] and unofficially diagnosed on February 23, 2023{{ndash}}hours following an incident at her home that eventually led to Zinn suffering a second heart attack on April 15, 2023.
