What Did Gossip Girl’s Chanel Banks Say About Her Family Seeking Conservatorship?

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in virtual worlds, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of empathy for Chanel Banks as she navigates her own real-life crisis. The allegations she’s made against her family are harrowing and heartbreaking, reminding us that the line between fantasy and reality often blurs when it comes to personal struggles.


Actress Chanel Banks, known for her role in “Gossip Girl”, who was discovered in Texas on Monday, has made a startling accusation against her family through an Instagram post. After initiating an investigation, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that another agency found her location in Texas, stating, “She is safe.” It’s been reported that Banks’ family members started and later deleted a GoFundMe campaign, indicating they last had contact with the 36-year-old on October 30. The fundraiser stated that authorities could not locate her during four wellness checks, declaring her missing.

Instead of saying “Banks announced on Instagram that she is ‘not missing’ and that her family ‘made up’ her disappearance,” you could rephrase it as “On Instagram, Banks clarified that her absence wasn’t due to being lost or kidnapped, but rather a choice she made.

Chanel Banks claims her family is looking at gaining complete control over her

Chanel Banks stated as she prepared to depart that her mother and family had been aggressively seeking a conservatorship. Banks disclosed that she’s endured “horrific mistreatment” from her mother and relatives for over three decades. She leveled accusations against them, claiming they subjected her to “ritual sexual abuse, manipulation, and relentless torment” since infancy. The 36-year-old subsequently called for justice and freedom not only for herself but also for everyone who remains silent while enduring similar hardships.

The LAPD had recently launched a missing case into the Gossip Girl actor, whose family alleged she disappeared in late October. PEOPLE reported that an LAPD spokesperson confirmed that an outside agency found Chanel Banks in Texas on Monday. They only announced the news two days later on Wednesday. In addition to the allegations against her mother, Banks accused her stepfather of committing abuse as well. She said, “[her stepfather] committed sex acts to me since before I can recall.” She alleged that the most recent instance occurred in her adult life in 2014.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share one of the shocking disclosures made by Banks. She spoke candidly about how her family often interfered with her personal choices, requiring their approval first. In a chilling account, she claimed that on one occasion, her family allegedly forged government documents to spread false information about her mental health. This, she said, was an attempt to manipulate law enforcement into relentlessly and cruelly pursuing her without question.

As a gamer, I just wanted to clear something up: folks might’ve heard about that GoFundMe campaign claiming I’m missing. Let me make it clear, I’m not missing! It was started by my cousin without my knowledge. I’ve already met with authorities and assured them I’m safe. So, please don’t contribute to any fundraisers under my name saying I’m missing. Thanks for understanding!
