"I kind of made preparations to head out, so to speak," says Banks after being located following her family's claims she was missing

“Gossip Girl” actress Chanel Maya Banks posted a YouTube video to prove she’s not missing — while teasing an upcoming interview to dish on her bizarre, TV-worthy family saga. “As you can see, I am alive,” the actress said, disproving claims by some of her relatives that she was still missing and being imitated by an imposter.

Singh reported that Banks’ husband of one year has relayed a message from Banks to the family that she “Will reach out when she’s ready” and “Does not want to be found.”
