Popular content creator Richard "FaZe Banks" shared the private messages he had exchanged with Kylie "Sketch" (or TheSketchReal) following the recent drama on X. For context, Sketch recently went public about his sexual relations with men. This came after pictures surfaced online of his past adult content.

Despite the situation garnering a lot of polarizing reactions online, Banks has been very supportive of Sketch. Following the news going viral online, he wrote on X:

"All the FaZe boys were with him last night. Sketch was my homie yesterday, he’s my homie today, he’ll be my homie tomorrow."

Banks shared a screengrab of the text messages he sent to Sketch after the drama. In the messages, Sketch appeared to be heading home. However, Banks reassured him of his and other FaZe members' support. One of his messages read:

"You're good bro. Come back. We're all here, you're the homie."

What have other FaZe members said about the Skecth situation?

FaZe Clan members have been quite supportive of the situation. While they were initially surprised, Banks and others have expressed their support for Sketch. For instance, Plaqueboymax clapped back at critics, stating:

"I defended my friend. If that sh*t hurts you, make you wanna cry and stop watching my content because I defended my friend, a real-life person with an issue, then just get the f**k out."

Lacy, another member of the organization and a popular Twitch streamer stated that he won't "tolerate any homophobia" towards Sketch. He said:

"I won't tolerate any homophobia or any disrespectful sh*t towards Sketch, okay? I don't care. He's my friend. What he's done in the past, what he does now does not dictate if he's my friend or not my friend anymore."

What did Sketch say about the situation?

Sketch has already made a statement regarding the situation. He confessed that the rumored pictures were of him from the past. He also revealed that he had considered ending his life but thanked Banks for his support. He said:

"Plan A was, I will say candidly, it was to eat... probably call it quits if this ever came out. But some people saved me. Shoutout Banks, shoutout my parents, shoutout you all."

The Sketch situation has naturally blown up on the internet, given that he is among the most popular Twitch streamers right now. Aside from FaZe members, notable figures like xQc and Jynxzi have also voiced their support.
