Full Story
YouTuber Colleen Ballinger has responded to allegations of grooming and inappropriate relationships with underage fans in a musical vlog. Known for her alter ego Miranda Sings, Ballinger compared the accusations to a “toxic gossip train” and expressed frustration at being harassed for her past. She admitted to oversharing details of her life with fans in the past but emphasized that she had changed her behavior and took accountability. Ballinger denied ever sending inappropriate messages with the intention of grooming fans, asserting that the only thing she had ever groomed was her two Persian cats.
The allegations against Ballinger first surfaced in 2020 when fellow YouTuber Adam McIntyre accused her of putting him in uncomfortable situations between the ages of 13 and 16. McIntyre specifically referenced a livestream where Ballinger sent him lingerie, to which she later admitted was a “completely stupid” act. Ballinger apologized for her actions and acknowledged that she should never have done it, stating that she is not a monster.
Ballinger addressed the recent online chatter surrounding her past behaviors in her vlog, expressing disappointment with the “mob mentality” and denying the rumors and lies made for clout. She acknowledged making jokes in poor taste and making mistakes but reiterated that she never intended to groom her teenage fans. She emphasized her growth and understanding of boundaries, signaling that she has changed her behavior.
Ballinger’s response comes after online accusations in a group text called “Colleeny’s Weenies,” where she allegedly asked fans about their favorite position. In her vlog, she sang about the desire for accountability while also expressing her refusal to admit to lies and rumors which were made up for attention. Ballinger’s ukulele video aimed to convey her side of the story and defend herself against the accusations, asserting her role as a loser who didn’t comprehend the appropriate boundaries in her interactions with fans.
