Gossip Girl Actress Disputes Missing Person Claims

Chanel Maya Banks asserts her safety and freedom, contradicting her family's concerns.

Chanel Maya Banks, known for her roles in 'Gossip Girl' and 'Blue Bloods,' has publicly declared she is not missing, despite her family's insistence.
The Police Department confirmed Banks was found in Texas, stating no foul play was involved and closed the case.
Banks's family, however, believes the woman identified by authorities is an imposter and continues to distribute missing person flyers.
Banks claims she left voluntarily to escape alleged family abuse and has been baptized in Texas, seeking personal freedom.
Her family disputes the police's identification, citing bodycam footage and expired identification as evidence of a potential impersonation.
