In a series of controversial tweets, Banks claimed such relationships were once socially acceptable, drawing sharp criticism across social media.

Banks argued that relationships between adult men and teenage girls were culturally normalized in earlier decades, writing, *"I’m honestly not surprised or mad at Trump for getting some 15-year-old p***y because those were the times."* She referenced her own experiences, stating she was "old enough to choose" to engage with older men at age 15. While clarifying she wasn’t endorsing such behavior today, her comments were met with immediate backlash.

The controversy escalated when Banks dismissed the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, tweeting, "FORGET ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES WHO CARES." She also used offensive language toward young Latina girls and the LGBTQ+ community, accusing gay men of hypocrisy for criticizing her views.

This is not the first time Banks has faced backlash for inflammatory remarks, but critics argue this incident is among her most troubling. Advocates and social media users have condemned her statements as dangerous, particularly given the sensitive nature of underage exploitation allegations.

The backlash has reignited discussions about celebrity accountability and the influence of public figures in shaping discourse on abuse and consent. Banks' comments remain under heavy scrutiny as the debate continues.
