Pet monkey of Texas football coach allegedly attacks kid trick-or-treating

A pet monkey belonging to the girlfriend of Texas football assistant coach Jeff Banks allegedly attacked a child on Halloween.

Are you ready for the most bananas story in college football this year?

That’s an intended pun because a monkey owned by the girlfriend of Texas special teams coordinator Jeff Banks reportedly bit a child on Halloween.

Banks’ girlfriend, the woman he allegedly left his wife and kids for, is (or was) a stripper who goes by the name Pole Assassin and said monkey, named Gia, has been incorporated into her act. She has also appeared on Jerry Springer.

And her monkey apparently bit a child.

You cannot make this up.

Jeff Banks’ girlfriend denied monkey attack but confirmed a bite

The girlfriend tweeted about the incident, but she didn’t exactly clear things up.

According to the woman, there was no vicious attack and the monkey was not in the haunted house.

However, she seemed to confirm that a child aged 11 or 12 was indeed bitten by the monkey (which is thankfully vaccinated) after wandering into a part of the yard that was not meant to be accessed.

The woman also posted a video of her walking through the yard in question to try and further corroborate her account of the events:

Steve Sarkisian brought in Banks from Alabama’s staff to run his special teams unit in Austin. When he did so he probably didn’t expect there to be a controversy involving a monkey and his stripper girlfriend.

That’s college football for you. You literally never know what story will emerge next.
