FaZe Banks says Alissa Violet did horrible things to him
A day after a Twitter thread from social media star Alissa Violet detailed the alleged cheating by her ex-boyfriend FaZe Banks, the popular YouTuber has responded.
And though he mostly declined to make nasty accusations back at Violet, Banks said Violet did horrible things to him during their relationship, which ended in July.
In a tweet that reads Alissa, he uploaded a screenshot of a long statement that says, I could spend the next few minutes listing all the horrible things Alissa has done to me and why we didnt work and why I did what I did. Obviously theres [sic] 2 sides to every story and neither of us have been perfect. Rather than contribute to all of that Im going to do the right thing and take responsibility for where Ive gone wrong in this.
He then wrote that he did something really stupid and hurtful when he and Violet were having problems in their relationship.

Late Sunday night, she said he cheated on her with a woman in the guest wing of their shared house while she slept in their room with their dogs. She also accused him of being unfaithful on multiple occasions.

Banks responded on Sunday with a tweet that read I love you, and Violet responded to that by saying, Did you love me when you texted that girl that you were on your way to her hotel room at 6 am to get weird while i was sleeping next to you? She also accused him of breaking eight of her phones and smashing a car windshield.
She also said she had proof of his dalliances.

While Banks didnt specifically admit to cheating in his Twitter update on Monday, he wrote there was additional context and its not as simple as whos right and whos wrong. Banks wrote the incident happened about a year ago and the two have been broken up for six months but that it continues to haunt both of them.
We all fuck up, thats human, he wrote. What that girl and I shared was special. One in a billion special. Something that I dont expect to share with another human for as long as Im alive. We had issues and couldnt fix them. We were miserable together for a while and couldnt ever let each other go. I think I speak for both of us when I say the love was and always will be a very REAL thing.
Banks and Violet combine for 11.7 million Instagram followers, 9.3 million YouTube subscribers, and 4.8 million Twitter followers, and many of their fans were invested in their relationship (and are now invested in the Twitter aftermath). Banks tweet from Monday already has nearly 70,000 likes. But he said he wants to keep the drama off the internet.
There are definitely 2 very different sides to this story. Im just choosing to keep it off social media rather than make an already horrible situation worse. Its a lose, lose.

He also wrote, You gotta keep in mind none of the people who saw those tweets know even 1% of our situation, but that its not their fault, its not anyones fault.
Violet, for her part, hasnt responded on social media since Banks lengthy statement.
