"You don't really realize it like this rape sh*t. Men can just prey on you and f**king like badger you, force you to say yes… to the point where you feel like you gave consent but you didn't give sh*t. You never wanted to do sh*t… someone really just got the f**king best of me," she added.

Banks also alleged that her drink was spiked and it felt like someone was pinning down needles through her throat. "What is even in a roofie? I've never felt that type of intoxication in my life. I woke up my throat was in pins and needles. It's under control now my brothers and friends are here. I'm going to be fine don't panic guys. I love you. I def got drugged in my drink but I'm waking up again," she said.
