FaZe Clan has removed co-founder Thomas “Temperrr” Oliveira from the organization after serious allegations of inappropriate conduct with minors surfaced publicly.
The controversy began during a livestream on September 14 when fellow co-founder Nordan “Rain” Shat claimed that Temperrr had admitted to sexual encounters with two 16-year-olds.
Rain later clarified that one of the individuals was 17 and that another person was present but did not participate.
Rain said he had informed other FaZe members, including Ricky “Banks” Bengston and FaZe Apex, about the alleged incidents before speaking publicly.
Banks later confirmed that the accusations were directed at Temperrr, though he added that Temperrr denied any wrongdoing in private conversations.
I feel horrible man. I wish it never happened. I’m sorry I didn’t speak out sooner, but I hope you can understand that it’s HARD, I loved this guy, I was a huge fan of him growing up. I didn’t know what to do. Part of the reason I left FaZe was because of it,i couldn’t be side by…

Temperrr responded by admitting that an encounter did occur years ago in New York.
He explained that he met the girls at a 21-plus nightclub and only later learned that one of them was 17. He said he believed everyone involved was of legal age and described Rain’s public statements about pedophilia as “insane.” Temperrr also accused Rain of previously attempting to use the situation to gain financial leverage, calling it an act of blackmail.

The next day, September 15, FaZe Clan updated its roster on social media, officially removing Temperrr.
We the boys want to make it clear to everyone that this list is FaZe. Anybody outside of this list is not associated with FaZe in any way.

In response, he shared that he was disappointed by the decision, pointing out that he was cut without a direct conversation from the organization he helped build over the past 15 years.
He described the situation as extremely damaging, not just to his reputation, but also to his family, especially his young son.
Temperrr reflected on past mistakes and admitted he has made errors in judgment. He emphasized that becoming a father has changed his perspective and motivated him to focus on his family.
Despite the controversy, he said he plans to continue addressing the allegations and protecting the integrity of his household.
The whole gaming scene and skateboard world are losing it, everyone trying to see how FaZe Clan handles one of their own getting called out like this.
