Feuds that rocked the YouTube world

Months after his split from Alissa Violet made headlines, it seemed Jake Paul couldn’t quite let their failed relationship go. According to Seventeen, he alleged in a since-deleted August 2017 video that his assistant, Meg, had been assaulted by Violet’s new boyfriend, FaZe Banks, at the Warwick club in Los Angeles. As the magazine reported, Meg claimed that she was on her way back to her group of friends from the restroom when Banks allegedly “clotheslined her so hard in an effort to pull her into their party-space that he knocked the wind out of her and left a nasty bruise on her neck.”

For his part, Banks uploaded a response video shortly after, in which he began with, “99% of what [Jake Paul] said in his video was absolutely fabricated and not true.” He even went on to suggest that he might have been drugged on the night in question due to his out-of-character behavior, but ultimately denied assaulting anyone from Paul’s team. Banks was later joined by Violet, who made several allegations of her own against ex-boyfriend Paul, saying, “Honestly, he did assault me a few times.”

While we may never know the truth of what happened that night, Paul, Violet, and Banks notably put their differences aside after running into one another at Coachella 2019. According to Banks’ Twitter, “[We] had the right kind of conversation. We all decided to let the past be the past and move forward.”
