Banks revealed he had split from long-term girlfriend Violet on July 6 after being apart \u201cfor about a month,\u201d and at first it seemed like the two high-profile internet stars had ended things on relatively good terms. An explosive tirade on social media seems to tell a different story, however, as Violet accused the FaZe member of cheating on her multiple times, including with a \u201crandom whore\u201d in the pair\u2019s guest wing, and Snapchatting another girl to meet him \u201cto f*ck\u201d while he was at dinner with her. Now, Banks has released his own statement regarding the allegations, admitting he had done something \u201creally stupid and hurtful\u201d during their relationship, and suggesting there are two sides to the story. \u201cObviously, there are two sides to every story, and neither of us have been perfect,\u201d Banks said. \u201cRather than contribute to all of that, I\u2019m going to do the right thing and take responsibility for where I\u2019ve gone wrong in this.\u201d The FaZe star said he and Violet had been \u201chaving issues\u201d throughout the end of their relationship, and revealed that he had cheated on her \u201calmost a full year ago.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s not as simple as who\u2019s right and who\u2019s wrong,\u201d he said, before admitting it doesn\u2019t matter. \u201cWhat matters is that we\u2019re both humans, and we\u2019ve both definitely hurt each other. It\u2019s haunted both of us for a long time. We all fuck up, that\u2019s human.\u201d The 28-year-old added that he believes the relationship he shared with Alissa was \u201cone in a billion special,\u201d and said that he refused to allow their dramas to spill out onto social media, for their own sakes, and for the fans. \u201cI refuse to let our intimate, private relationship become a spectacle online, it\u2019s heartbreaking,\u201d he stated. \u201cSocial media really isn\u2019t the place. I wasn\u2019t expecting this because we were always both very much on the same page about making sure we have a line drawn in the sand about what we share with our audience. But again I see that she\u2019s hurt, and I understand.\u201d Banks also took the chance to address Violet directly, potentially because they had stopped talking behind the scenes after he messaged her questioning why she was telling the story of his unfaithfulness on Twitter. \u201cLiss, if you\u2019re reading this, love you,\u201d he said. \u201cIt hurts me a lot that you\u2019re hurt, but I promise hurting me won\u2019t make you feel better. I wish every day that it could\u2019ve been different. I will never ever not love you, and I\u2019ll always be there. I truly do wish the best for you.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time in Alissa and Ricky\u2019s relationship that they had aired their grievances with each other in a public forum either, though this might be the most explosive it\u2019s become since the two separated earlier this year. Violet unfollowed Banks\u2014something fans took notice of very quickly\u2014after the FaZe star admitted to having a physical relationship with Tana Mongeau before he began dating the 23-year-old model. The two locked horns online about the news. Banks and Violet first started dating in 2017, after Violet separated from Mongeau\u2019s now-husband Jake Paul. It was a whirlwind romance if the online footprint is to be believed, with rumors of an engagement appearing nearly immediately. Those rumors were eventually squashed, however, and two years after first announcing they were together, Banks and Violet went their separate ways. It\u2019s also been a chaotic month for the FaZe personality, who turned a suite at the Encore At Wynn Las Vegas into a \u201cdisaster zone,\u201d resulting in broken furniture, holes in the walls, and soil from plants scattered across the floor. The Las Vegas rampage led to Banks being \u201ceighty-sixed for life\u201d and banned from the hotel, and having to fork out \u201ca lot of f*cking money\u201d for repairs. Alissa Violet has yet to reply to Banks\u2019 statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FaZe Banks breaks silence on Alissa Violet cheating allegations Instagram: BanksFaZe Clan\u2019s Ricky Banks has broken his silence on allegations from his ex-girlfriend and model Alissa Violet suggesting he cheated on her during their relationship, and led a destructive lifestyle that led to their split in July.
