The 36-year-old actress insisted she is not missing in multiple posts shared to her Instagram story as her family took to the media claiming she had disappeared.
“My name is Chanel Banks,” the statement read in part. “I am a 36 year old American nobody and for my entire life I have been silently carrying the pain of the ritual sexual abuse, manipulation, and outright endless torment I’ve endured continuously since I was a defenseless baby, at the hands of my so called family, whom are all so very ‘concerned’ about my current whereabouts.”
“I have met with the Police and verified that not only am I okay, but I'm finally free from my mother [redacted] and her family,” Banks added.
