Well, this is messy…
After announcing a breakup with his fiancée/ the mother of his child via a joint statement in February, Jaylan Banks is detailing what went wrong between them. Banks is of course the man that Porsha Williams’ husband Simon Guobadia accused of impregnating his now ex-wife Falynn Pina while they were still married.

Unfortunately for him, however, a number of people aren’t sympathetic to his story and instead are insisting that “Simon was right.”
The MTV Couples Retreat star was a recent guest on the Relationships Matter podcast and opened up about his breakup with Falynn.
According to Banks, Pina who is nine years older than him, “groomed” him and is a narcissist who manipulated him into believing lies about her ex.
“I was groomed,” Banks said about how their relationship started. “She made it seem as if he [Simon] was doing her wrong, and then come to find out I’m on the other side now so that’s [a] narcissist.

She groomed me—would tell me he’s doing this to me and I felt sad for her and being a friend. That’s what narcissists do, they groom you,” he added. “Make the other person look bad so when you do something you won’t feel bad about it because you feel as if they were treating that person wrong.”
While speaking on the timeline of their relationship, Banks admitted that he hooked up with Pina during a trip to Cancun and he immediately knew he was in love with her. He did not explicitly clarify however if that hookup happened while she was still married.
Banks who was initially Pina’s assistant also noted that fans who quipped throughout his relationship that “you lose them how you get them” were correct.
“That’s exactly what happened,” said Banks on Relationships Matter. “I lost her how I got her, and here we are today.
I wasted two years,” he added before walking it back. “I lost myself in my relationship with her. Now that I’m lost, I’m no longer good for her anymore.”
As you can imagine people have a LOT to say about Jaylan Banks’ interview and a number of them are taking issue with him using the word “groomed.”

Jaylana Banks Says He “Lost His Youth” During Falynn Pina Relationship
Elsewhere in the interview, Bank said that he “lost his youth” while being in a relationship with Pina especially while being a part of their blended family that included their daughter and her three sons from previous relationships.
Prior to this interview, Banks revealed on Couples Retreat that he was paying all of the household bills and providing for seven people including Pina’s two sisters.
He went on to clarify that he was to blame because he didn’t say no when Pina’s mom asked if her two daughters could move in with them despite Falynn being against it.

He also made a remark about the fear he says he has about the mom of four raising their daughter.
“Come to find out [Falynn’s] nine-year-old was already calling him dad and I was still in love with her,” said Banks. “Still to this day, I still have love for her to some point. So I was hurt. Like, I’m the type of person I would’ve never done that to you. I would’ve never abandoned you and left you and just moved on with life. And she had so much trauma in her life, I’m scared to let my daughter be raised like that,” he added.
Falynn Pina has yet to respond to her ex.
