The checklist of present members was shared following the controversy involving Thomas ‘Temperrr‘ Oliveira, former CEO Ricky ‘Banks‘ Bengston, and former member Nordan ‘Rain‘ Shat.

The general public dispute stems from Rain accusing Temperrr of sexual misconduct, which he denies. Because it stands, all three members concerned are dissociated from FaZe Clan.

In response to the announcement, Temperrr mentioned: “Yesterday I watched somebody I as soon as known as a brother log on, name me a pedophile, and giggle about it. At the moment, I used to be minimize off the roster.

“And as a substitute of a name or textual content, I used to be simply minimize off the roster right now. No dialog. Nothing from the individuals I stood beside for over a decade.”

The controversy stems from feedback made by Rain throughout a livestream on September 14th, claiming the rationale why he left FaZe Clan again in April 2024 was due to an alleged ‘pedophile’ scenario throughout the organisation.

“A part of the rationale I left FaZe was due to it,” Rain added in a separate publish. “I couldn’t be aspect by aspect who did one thing like that. I needed to talk however simply felt so f**king dangerous, and ultimately I simply couldn’t take it anymore.”

Banks would later make clear that he was not the main target of the allegations, and went on to state that the ‘clip’ was referring to Temperrr, which Rain confirmed in a later stream.

“I do know this due to a telephone name we had between myself, Tommy [Temperrr], Apex, and Rain.” Banks added. “To be clear, Tommy denied any wrongdoing and no conclusion was got here to on that decision.”

Temperr went on to publish two response movies. In his preliminary video, he strongly denied the accusations of sexual misconduct made in opposition to him, calling them ‘insane’ and saying that he was ‘disgusted.’ On this identical video, he additionally accused Rain of attempting to leverage the allegations to ‘blackmail’ him.

He then posted a second video on-line three hours later, acknowledging a sexual encounter ‘years in the past’ with a 17-year-old in New York. Whereas 17 is the age of consent within the US state, Temperrr claims that he was unaware of her age at that second and was ‘extraordinarily uncomfortable’ as soon as he came upon.

As of writing, neither FaZe Clan nor its management has launched an official assertion addressing the allegations.
