After a year of separation, Elfman filed for divorce in April 2018. In 2018, through Twitter, Mutuc accused Marilyn Manson of sexual harassment on the set of House. That year, Amber Tamblyn said of her husband David Cross: "Basically he was rightfully accused of doing something racist to the comedian [Lo Mutuc]", following tweets that Mutuc had posted on the subject in 2017. Cross asked Mutuc to reach out via direct message to discuss the situation. He later publicly apologized to Mutuc, claiming that he would "never intentionally hurt someone like that". In 2021, Mutuc spoke out about their experience with James Franco, specifically discussing their efforts to quit his 2017 film, The Disaster Artist, after learning of the sexual misconduct allegations against him.

Around 2023, Mutuc began using the name Lo Mutuc; they later publicly announced their name change in 2024. In 2024, Mutuc said that while filming Time Bandits for Apple TV+, they were assaulted and injured by a male actor. A source with knowledge from the Time Bandits set contradicted this version of events, telling The Hollywood Reporter that the alleged assault involved a fellow actor bumping into Mutuc and then picking them up during a scene where actors were running. Multiple individuals and witnesses were interviewed as part of an investigation into their claims but did not substantiate them.
