Alissa Leaving Team 10
In February 2017, Alissa Violet left the Team 10 house after Jake Paul allegedly kicked her out, put a lock on her door, and threw her belongings down the stairs. Alissa responded to the situation by eating a meal and writing on a mirror with lipstick before leaving, which she documented on Snapchat. The feud between Alissa and Jake Paul continued on Twitter, with Jake accusing Alissa of cheating and Alissa accusing Jake of ignoring and belittling her, as well as manipulating her to do what he wanted. The situation gained a lot of attention on social media, and many fans and followers of both Alissa and Jake took sides in the feud.
In the music video for “It’s Everyday Bro,” Jake Paul and other members of Team 10 referenced Alissa Violet and her friend Tessa Brooks. Alissa clarified in a reaction video with RiceGum that the text messages shown in the video were taken out of context and that she would always be there for Jake Paul as a friend. Alissa and RiceGum later released their own diss track called “It’s EveryNight Sis,” which received over 128 million views. Alissa also appeared in Logan Paul’s diss track about Jake Paul called “The Fall of Jake Paul.”
In her video “What You’ve Been Waiting For,” Alissa opened up about her relationship with Jake Paul and how it deteriorated after she moved into the Team 10 house. She explained that Jake would bring girls home and tell her he loved her, but then ask her to leave whenever he had other girls over. She also described his controlling behavior and the rules he compiled for anyone living in the house. Alissa eventually decided to retaliate by having something with someone close to Jake, which led to her being kicked out of the house. Jake later uploaded a video admitting to the mistakes he made in their relationship.

When Alissa went to use the restroom, an employee of the bar asked Banks to leave, but he explained that he was waiting for his girlfriend and would leave once she was done. The employee then attempted to physically remove Banks, and a scuffle ensued. Alissa intervened and was pushed, causing her to fall down the stairs and scrape her leg badly. Once they were outside, two girls and a boy threatened Alissa and Banks if they continued to film the incident.

Alissa denied the accusation and said that they were never officially dating, and that Jake would often sleep with other girls while she was in the house.
Jake later referenced Alissa in his song “It’s Everyday Bro,” and she responded with her own song called “It’s Everynight Sis” featuring RiceGum.
