Frank Fritz Wife

In 2017, Fritz and Diann Bankson moved into his Iowa farmhouse after getting engaged. The couple, however, never wed and later separated in 2019.

In November 2018, Diann asserted she “walked in and caught him in bed with another woman.” She claimed that following their reconciliation, Fritz and a friend set off fireworks at the farmhouse.

As she entered the house while they lit the fireworks, Diann claimed that they “had been drinking” at the time. Her eyelashes and brows were burned off, and her hand and arm were seriously wounded.

Fritz allegedly “refused” to “take her to the hospital” and advised her to “toughen up,” according to her. Additionally, Diann sued Fritz, although she later dropped the case in March 2020.

In a July 2021 interview with The Sun, Fritz discussed his relationship with Diann and stated, “The biggest issue was this girlfriend I had; at the time, I also believed I was getting married and had just purchased a brand-new home. Then I discovered that she had a boyfriend back here the entire while I was traveling.”

He said, “It damaged my feelings, sense of worth, and world. I really tried to drown her out by drinking. I’ve never consumed so much alcohol.”

Later, though, Diann retaliated against Fritz by declaring to The Sun, “He is not telling what is true. Of course, I’m going to say it’s not true if he’s trying to paint me as the evil guy because it’s not true.”

Added she, “I don’t want drama or chaos in my life right now; I’m just trying to get better. Two years have passed, and I’m prepared to go on.”
