What’s so crazy is that Colleen was saying that a child asked for her panties and so it’s their fault but does Colleen doesn’t realize that SHE’S the adult and could have just not done that? It’s so crazy
Adam didn't ask for them though, her video was highly edited from the live. Adam has shown the actual video snd you can tell there's no cuts. She also sent them to him when he was 13/14 not 17 as she said in her 1st apology video. It's disgusting. She knew better she was 30.
@@OneVintageWitch the point is though, even if she hadn't been straight up lying, even if Adam had been begging her for the underwear, she knew that he was 13/14 at the time, so her defense being "he asked for them" is so bizarre because no matter what he did, as the grown up, it's her responsibility to say no
100% agree, I’m sure her brothers behaviour was no secret, and all of this puts a little question mark over other strange behaviours such as her male adult friend living in a house with her children
I'm so sick of this "if she were male" bullshit. Ppl ARE saying she's a predator! Real male PEDOS everywhere get away with it for DECADES because people do exactly that. Deny they are doing anything wrong because they're talented/famous. How do you think they got to commit the crimes in the first place? The public doing exactly what you're describing here. To men. So what does her being a woman have to do with anything? In fact It's probably why there were no actual crimes committed. The reason men get any stigma is because statistics back it up. An estimated 91% of victims of rape & sexual assault are female and 9% male. Nearly 99% of perpetrators are male. And they all "got away with it", until they didn't.
It's strange how willing they are to give Colleen multiple passes that they never game MJ; "they had a weird upbringing", "they may simply have the mentality of a child", "they don't understand why/that what they're doing is wrong". The whole mandatory t-in-mouth picture thing is all anybody should need to see, she groomed her fans into sending her fetish content. Straight up.
It’s so sad that 3 years ago the majority of the internet just completely ignored, dismissed and gaslighted a 17 year old who had been groomed, abused and manipulated by a 30+ year old woman I hope Adam, Becky and the other victims have the support they need this time round 💗
I had thought she had been canceled back then. Outside of H3 I never see internet drama and was never a Coleen fan so I thought she was over at that point. Disgusted that it was brushed off for three years.
I never really watched her. I did for a few months, following her pregnancy as I was pregnant at the same time. However, after the birth I stopped watching. I remember seeing Adams video, and being confused about it, and I think I followed popular opinion. I watched her apology and shrugged it off. I didn't realise how intense it all was. I wish I could warn myself
It was kinda sweet but... That chick is for kids who called her followers "weenies" and I know Olivia is young but 2019 was only 4 years ago lol. Forget how young she is
The problem with Gen Z is that they have no analytical comprehension abilities. They missed-out on at least a couple of years of decent schooling and they don't know how to "listen to comprehend". Now they act like a bunch of know-it-alls. Trust me kids, life is hard. If you think this is grooming you are not going to survive the life that is ahead of you. If you had a decent education, you would know what 'satire' is. Sure -- Colleen and crew crossed the lines by being non-PG with you but -- you joined a Circus!! Willingly. You are not victims and they did not abuse you. Don't twist it, you're only going to make yourself feel bad -- for clout and subscribers. (That's how a basic fascist pogrom cancellation starts - left or right, they are wings on the same bird))
They mentioned they would not be bringing up Trisha in the powerpoint. Probably out of concern it would make Trisha take it personally and somehow think they are attacking her.
That's weird behavior at the extremely bare minimum. There are tons of reasons to go after Trisha and her body is not one of them. 😅 lol there's so much to roast her about
Jesus… reading Colleen’s brother’s messages with a fucking 13 yr old made me feel sick. This family needs to lose all of their support and more. Olivia did such a good job sharing all of the victim’s stories as well as all of the horrible shit the Ballinger’s have done.
And I wouldn't be so quick to glaze over the dads sexual fetishes. What if he has a pregnancy fetish? Un-nerving when you consider pregnancy has been a running theme for Collen and her SIL in addition to these general themes of exploitation and sexualisation of children, childhood, reproduction!?🤷
@@ellaova also true. Given the fact that seemingly all of their children are problematic/harmful in one way or another, it’s fair to assume the parents very well could be too. I’m suspicious of any religious parent who homeschools their children
Yeah, not only was he exchanging increasingly explicit messages with this 14-year-old, but he was ALSO clearly trying to use his presence at those shows to MEET this kid IN PERSON.
@@Diberdat66 exactly. Texting is bad enough but he made his intentions abundantly clear. I was glad when Dan called him what he is-a straight up pedophile
Omg you are so right. I recently watched and interview with Alexa. And how Dan treated her was unforgivable and after everything that's come out you just know Colleen is on that level as well. It's disgusting.
If she isn’t a predator, she thought she was super smart by basically creating a focus group of teens to develop content from in her “weenies.” The proximity of her best friend and sister in law to that group of minors might have led her to blur her boundaries with the group but there is no justification. Also her brother is a self confessed pedophile. The bizarre behaviors she and her family members display imply some seriously disturbing things about their family dynamics. I never thought this women was funny and it’s pretty clear to me that she’s sick, whether she knows it or not.
It’s so strange that I’m actually happy that all of this is finally giving her kids a break from having a camera shoved in their face all day every day.
it's actually dystopian how family vloggers film their children daily and post it for strangers - millions of them! it's so unfair to the kids. digital footprints are forever.
Watching this, it kinda feels like Colleen and Korey were unpopular and maybe considered ‘losers’ when they were younger. Then as adults, having kids idolising them, they finally had the popularity and power they wish they when they were young teens. Being the ‘boss’ of the young teens made them feel important and like the cool kids.
I feel the same, she behaves like a child. Kids talk about sex and grown up things in an immature way because they’re navigating it for the first time and find it cool/funny. It’s incredibly predatory when you’re a grown adult in your 30s talking to teens as if you’re one of them and forcing them to do things they’re not comfortable with when they idolise you and you have a power dynamic over them.
The “I’m gonna defend my child self because no one else did” line from Adam made me lose it. I wish him the best in healing. He was a CHILD and is so strong for going through all of the stuff she did to him.
and the now leaked blackface she did performing Single Ladies, and the story where she put her hands down a kids pants in one of her shows and was 'searching for cookies' which was just an excuse to touch them... weird
I was wondering how one family can be so messed up, but then I remembered Olivia said the word “homeschool” (apologies in advance if anyone reading this is the one stable adult who was homeschooled as a kid)
@@CantTellYou I was homeschooled and in the past I would have been offended, but that was before I discovered just how fucking traumatized I was during my childhood. Yeah, public school ain't great, but you gotta worry about kids that don't have access to people outside the home.
Ethan’s slam on the table in excitement at how long the powerpoint was gonna be made my day.🤣🤣 cause same Olivia if you see this, you’ve done a great job on all of them!!
@@poppatang4216I agree, but I think it’s because she rushes a little bit, because she’s not normally the person speaking for a large chunk of the show. It’s obvious she has the story fleshed out in her head, the delivery is still pretty good and will only improve with time
@@teasp00ns Totally agree. For starters, setting up the entire “cast” of the story in one shot at the beginning isn’t effective. Tell the story and introduce the cast as they become relevant.
I love how much he loves her and listens even though doesnt really care about the drama and then gets actually mad at the end when she makes her case.... he is like 'oh wow.. no this is bad'
Olivia busting out the term “neurodivergent” to help Ethan when he didn’t want to call someone who is mentally ill “impaired” for him after he gestured to her for help was such an impressive show of Ethan’s growth.
she's quite responsible too, refraining from explainations when she doesn't know enough instead of just making assumptions like other tea content people
She sounds like she's ready to eat her own face and at this point 2 hours in, I'm thinking this PowerPoint could have really taken 5 minutes. I think she just enjoys hearing her disgusting voice.
So...the reason why Kodee was cancelled is because she withheld information for 3 years and could have potentially avoided the hate mob Adam got and could have exposed Colleen and quite literally brought this all up again out of nowhere. The reason why 3 years later (this year) she decided to expose the dms is because she said something along the lines of she wasn't ready until now and was getting over trauma and it's speculated that she only did this to get back at Colleen/Kory for blocking her, something like that so her intentions were not in the right place to begin with. She wanted to look like some sort of hero, despite the fact she shows that she worked with Colleen to tarnish Adams image looking for some sort of apologetic redemption arc.. but people quickly realized the timing and intentions were off and it began to backfire. (Incase anyone was just as confused as Ethan was about this lol)
@@joNizenas Yess...she said she was ready for a war with Colleen and backlash she would receive from anyone about this and it would only make her more money and seemed pretty confident saying this.. until she realized she really wasn't ready for shit, deleted all her posts made a live stream crying and basically ran away with her tail between her legs😬
Kodee literally admitted she released the video exposing Colleen and Kory (in a since deleted livestream) because she was mad at Kory for blocking her last year. So it 100% was to get back at Colleen and Kory and is not speculation btw. Kodee also did not let Adam know im advance she would exposing this story and their messages in the group chat (when she asked for ass pics from Adam)
She should just be able to have her own channel or do that. Bc it didn’t seem to fit this channel but i like how they got interested in the story later on.
@@Zzz2x I'd say make them their own member thing, Olivia is a good speaker its just some times the topics dont really hit and just rely on her personality to carry the segment. I agree the first half of the presentation was weaker than the second half.
Never heard y'all's podcast before, but I really appreciate Olivia taking the time to put all of this together. I'm a teacher and many of my students are or were fans of this person.
@@BigStankyToes have an ex that has Tourette’s which is pretty much only shown in his facial expressions and it took a long time for him to realize that when he is tired he just looks murderous 😂 I wish your foes luck
Imagine if Ethan developed verbal tics. He wouldn’t have a pod. I’ve been watching h3 way before he started a pod and he never had a tic. I wonder if it’s his meds or just good editing
@@bish_puddin he’s said previously that in the old videos before the pod he was editing out almost of the tics and since it was kinda scripted thought out skits he was able to focus more compared to the pod where he’s just talking unprepared
To be fair that could have also just been gross clout chasing and Hollywood incestuous social relationships. Jojo had that juice and everyone else wanted to squeeze for their own game
THANK YOUUUUU... Was always bizarre af to me. Lots of people did collabs with her which is fine. But these two hung out with her casually and... Sorry what? Why?
Exactly, and imagine how much of it is caused by generational trauma - aka victims become abusers themselves. Seeing as how the ballingers behave this way, I strongly question what is going on in their family. I think I heard Shane Dawson was abused in childhood too, and I hope we all know how much of a pedo he is by now. Just the other day someone told me their mom is only 13 years older than them. This stuff can cause unimaginable suffering when it’s allowed to go on, causes pregnancy (often incestuous) and the child is forced to carry to term, or even keep the baby. This gets swiped under the rug a lot of the time because statistically it’s most often a male family member (father, uncle, grandfather) and in our society that is just so unimaginable we pretend it didn’t happen. Many times families even call the child a liar and side with the abuser.
@@MyDuckSaysFuccyup!!! Just recently someone in my town got sentenced to 240 years for CSA. Glad they sentenced him appropriately. He was a caretaker for children while parents worked. The kids didn’t speak out until they learned about the other kids’ abuse… and that they weren’t alone.
@@neen2660 The lid was like 'I have to sleep' and screenshots from 4:55am. A man that is now about 40 so... what 35ish... guilting a 13 year old i to not goong to sleeeeep. I mean what is happening here.
A thing colleen has in common with the weirdness of Shane and onision is that some of the “characters” they played were based on ableist stereotypes of disabled folks. Colleen’s more explicitly revealed that
Also, Jojo's relationship with Colleen's sister Rachel was so bizarre too. Jojo would be staying the night with her 👀 like always around her, always in the backgrounds of videos. Why is a young girl friends with these adult women?
Respectfully guys, if Colleen were a man you wouldn’t sit there debating wether she’s a pedo or not… look how quick you guys were to call Shane worse but give her a more gentle get out. She is grooming and it’s clear as day, I say this as a woman too! Women need to be held to the same standard as men where harming children is concerned 🤢
Right. There are plenty of female predators out there but they don't often get caught/publicized. Oftentimes, people's first reactions are to excuse or overlook the behavior because it's not seen as threatening. I remember seeing a vlog of her's once where she mentioned something leaking in her house and said it was leaking like a teenager's p***y/little girl's crease 🤮 which feels so disgusting to quote, but that never sat with me right and seeing all this stuff come out really makes me think she is a predator. No normal person's mind works like that. It seems like minors and sex have a correlation in her mind and the signs of that were there and no one batted an eye. Thankfully, the weenies are sharing their stories. What's especially concerning with this situation too is that there is not only Colleen involved, but other predatory adults who gained access to her child fanbase through her. Who knows if there are more private conversations that have not been and never will be screenshotted/shared. How many children have been exposed to things they shouldn't have or have been groomed/harmed through her and her contacts?
you're right and i agree with whoever on the show said the period stuff is a fetish thing. i was a teenage girl and i don't remember myself or any of my teenage girl friends pestering our friend group to take pics with tampons in our mouths and send them to each other. like in the vid of colleen doing it she was literally biting at the string in an extremely weird way. i don't even know what the humor in that would be even from a quirky 13 year old perspective
1:46:31 the reveal that she not only used ghostwriters as a comedian (very common but super hacky) but used UNPAID CHILDREN to ghostwrite her jokes just explains so much
her kids go to her mother's all the time and her brother lives with them, that comment from dan at the end made shivers run down my spine. please someone watch those babies omg
as someone who was groomed thru similar ways, i know what it’s like to have someone get you to do anything for them because you just love and idolize them so so much. i genuinely can’t imagine how it would have impacted me to have to deal w millions of rabid fans harassing me for years. he’s really strong, i hope he knows that
Colleen knew what she was doing. She was grooming kids to be victims of the men around her. She used her shows to pick out the kids to get close to. The girls that dressed skimpy to get on stage were invited the group chat. She set up a self selection. There is no way she didn't know what she was doing. It took the kids growing up and realizing what they endured was abuse. I'm glad she was stopped. These people are very brave to come forward.
That was new info for me. I’m happy af to see it. She went off without having to say too much. Probably why he is able to stand up for himself today, that’s awesome
@@Wendy_Cedenoyes and no… bc we gotta not give our kids devices to access this stuff and need to teach them about adults. But she did the right thing when she had the knowledge!
So my mom was diagnosed with Cancer and doctors gave her six months to live, I had to leave school and the country I was living in to travel with my mom for better healthcare. The Podcast has been a very important part of my life, helping me pass through stressful times with a smile on my face. Im grateful to everyone of you guys for always putting up a great show. Good news is its been two years since my mom was diagnosed, so to the person who posted about being diagnosed I hope you keep strong and kick cancer in the butt!
All the best to you and your mom 🙏 you are both so strong for what you have done through. I wish you both nothing but happiness and love. Take care sweetheart
The Ballinger siblings give me 'my parents humiliated me as a child' vibes and now low key into humiliation onto chilren in a sexual way. & HOLY SHIT! Her dad's account might explain her huge need to be thin and always calling anyone larger gross. Colleen promotes SO MUCH Eating Disorder behaviour.
Yeah in that not so apology vid she looked insanely frail. Not just skinny but sick. Like I thought she looked food deprived. Very concerning, but not worth hyper focusing on.
@@bambii-_"stab me in my bony little back" 🤮 god the amount of times i nearly threw up while listening to that song. Like sure shes skinny, but she aint pretty 😂
The funniest part of all of this is that Colleen wrote in her WEDDING VOWS TO JOSH: " I will never divorce you" . I couldn't believe someone would make that a vow let alone actually divorce/cheat on the guy not long after 😅
So thankful that you finally covered Colleen, I’ve been waiting for her behaviors to make it on H3’s radar. So much love to Olivia for doing the lords work.
He talked about it on the members stream--the story has been on Ethan's radar for a while, he just didn't want to cover it because she recently started a podcast with Trisha and he didn't want it to seem like he was trying to sabotage Trisha
def this is the case. i don’t think she’s actually attracted to kids personally, but she likes having kid followers because they’re easier to control and have dote over her. still predatory behavior
@@cupknee Agreed. She wants to be Regina George, the mental games that her and Kory play with those fans are so cruel. The hierarchy, calling them squeents. Making fun of the fan that got the Colleen tattoo is especially heartbreaking.
This is why I don’t use tik tok or Instagram. No I don’t want to watch 16,17 year olds coming up on my feed with their new weird dance trends. Why does it get pushed so much?? Why is it trending and why is it being shown to everyone. I hate it all and it shouldn’t be allowed for children to use at all.
I was a kid around the Colleen era And I remember tweeting a picture of Tyler Oakley’s phone case that I bought and him liking it and I freaked out I was so excited I can’t imagine how these kids felt when their idol was actually talking to them and confining in them it’s pure manipulation of a child
My chemo’s are going to be so much more lonely without the pod but I’m so grateful for how hard everyone works to give us so many episodes a week. Also the comments on the Reddit from the other person with cancer helped lighten the mood with h3 lore. This is why I love this podcast so much and the whole h3 family. It’s like a bunch of friends I don’t have in real life :(
Dude, I went through chemo in 2021. I'm wishing you all the best on your journey. I know that there are downs during and after those sessions, but just know those are all temporary. When I went through chemo, I just watched a lot of Frenemies, old H3 clips, and other RUclipsrs to keep me distracted from the exhaustion and pain. Sending you positivity and good vibes.
I talk to 13-14 year olds all the time (the joys of being a teacher), they are basically infants. I think they’re fun to talk to because they have such different insight, but that’s in a classroom setting. Who would just want to talk to kids in a group chat? I go home at the end of the day and decompress from all the children I’ve been around all day.
You don't ask them for "butt pics" or talk about oral sex and periods? What DO you talk about? Science? History? Lame. In all seriousness, thank you for all you do. Your inclusion of the need to decompress shows us how demanding your job is 🙏♥️
I’m so glad Olivia brought up the whole thing with Colleen and family getting upset about having to turn off comments for kid videos! It’s so weird and I hadn’t seen anyone talk about it yet.
Wish she would have brought up all videos of Colleen sexualizing kids, like even using her own nieces to clickbait pedos to watch the videos, making a child stick their hand down her pants during a live show etc, there's SO MUCH more to her being inappropriate with children and talking about children in a sexual way.
Id really like to find the vlog where she says this so I can clip it. Does anyone remember what vlog or time period this was? Im having trouble. Thanks.
Why did I think they meant an inflation fetish like economic inflation 😂 I was like “that man is SICK” The fact that it’s called “want” only confirmed my theory 😂😂😂
As a 40 year old, I can't even picture myself being friends with someone in their 20s, let alone with actual children like that. It's f'ing weird and creepy.
I have so much respect for the vloggers I used to watch as a teen/early twenties for keeping their children out of their content. Some of them had 1m+ followers on here and knowing how much money there is to be made in family vlogging but still putting their children's safety and privacy first.
It kills me that people are trying to excuse Trent's behavior because he has a disability. My cousin is deaf and never would he ever behave this way. The "my parents don't want me to" is very telling. Even if you're trying to say he's "delayed" that statement alone shows that he understands he's not supposed to, but continues to do so anyways. This entire family is one giant red flag.
It’s not an excuse at all, but I think it’s also important to note that he also has a learning disability. Not because that means what he did is okay, but because his family needed to be even more proactive in monitoring these types of messages.
@@rachelzeke its still an excuse to make him seem innocent. He's not innocent. I've worked as a nurse in a facility with individuals deemed too "mentally incompetent" to be in society because they had varying mental disorders and committed crimes or didn't have loved ones to watch out for them. Many of the adults I worked with had child predatory charges or attempted murder charges. I would hear the therapist come in and basically give these adults excuses. "It was your moms fault, she should've watched you better." Meanwhile these same people are turning to me afterwards and saying: "It wasn't my moms fault. I would've found a way." Sure, some of these adults absolutely didn't know any better, but they weren't going around saying "i know what I did/want to do is bad." People are using Trents learning disability.. delay.. whatever its going to be next week, is an excuse. It looks poorly on the adults who share similar diagnosis who would never do something like that. I've seen it happen first hand.
When I heard it was Trent that had been writing I was initially inclined to wonder if his learning disability had to do with it, but having seen the messages I agree with you that it's an excuse. He shows very well in how he phrases things that he knows full well that it's wrong and that he is aware of what he is doing. Definitely very gross, and knowing that the family knew about it makes it even more upsetting.
Can we please acknowledge Zach’s super smooth and low music he plays during the podcast that just sets the vibe so right at almost a indistinguishable level and perfectly blended in. 👌
Those top comments on her "apology" video are insane. "She isn't blaming anyone." She literally blamed a 14 year old for HER sending him underwear. "He asked for them" were her literal words. Even if he did, be the adult, Colleen. F-in Pluto.
As someone who had a partner for years who dismissed all internet / celeb drama as dumb and not worthy of a minute of his time, listening to Ethan eat up these segments is healing
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to whoever it was who saw my tweet about Brian and pointed out the kind of person he is. I had to lock up my twitter after you guys did the live but just know I appreciate you getting my story out there. It's super frustrating to see him go viral when he should still be in jail for cyber stalking. I am sure my comment will get lost in the thousands but just know I appreciate you all talking about it.
1:25:43 ethan bopping around on the screen like the dvd logo screensaver had me in STITCHES. i already know whoever was doing that was having too much fun 😭💀😂
To answer Ethan’s question Kodee got cancelled because she was also an adult talking to minors, but released all these receipts just to try and NOT get called out for her own BS
Kodee has admitted to doing it to get back at Cory for blocking them too - but tried to pass it off like they were a hero for finally releasing this info
kody being an adult the whole time makes it her fault for the bullying of adam as well even though there was more for colleen who had all the power in the fan idol dynamic, she didn't have power over the part of the adult kody who went out of her way to call the minor a manipulator of a woman twice his age. Her being called out is a internet not being tunnel visioned for once moment
Do you have any opinions on some of the legislation being passed? Especially in California regarding teachers talking to students about gender ideology while simultaneously keeping it a secret from the parents? Even if you don't have concerns, do you see the parallels here and why parents, especially those that have gone through youth protection training might be concerned?
@@faceplants2I see the parallels. That doesn't mean the analogy you're attempting to illustrate here isn't callous, ignorant, and moreover, really fucking stupid
Honestly its sweet seeing Olivia that young and being so wholesome and happy for someone else's wedding, it really shows she has been that positive vibrant person since very young.
With the amount of times she talked about periods, wanting DEEP details about young children, and wanting photos of children with tampons In their mouth, I think it is some sort of fetish. Never even thought about that Untill Ethan mentioned it 😬 this is so twisted.
There's also a video where she's talking about her book and how there's a part on how to make a hot dog look like a vagina and that there was a mistake on that page because what she actually wanted was for the hot dog to look like "a nasty bloody vagina" with ketchup on it and she then says it's "because I'm a pervert"!!!!!
Colleen has talked a lot about being unpopular when she went to actual school, and her parents sheltered her growing up. I think to some degree she wanted to live out her cool, raunchy, mean teen girl fantasy and mentally regressed to that place. Not an excuse obviously, we’re just all curious why someone would act this way- it truly is bizarre.
@@SnowLiliesall this shit coming out about her explains a lot about her mental health struggles when it comes to anxiety. that girl has a lot of guilt eating her up inside
I agree with you, I think Colleen is really immature and has a lot of unresolved issues from her childhood. But so does a lot of people and they deal with it in ways that doesn't involve committing crimes. I just hope other people look at this and learn from it. I think a lot of influencers have problematic dynamics with their fans, and hopefully this story makes more of them take a step back and look at how they interact with fans.
100%. I grew up watching colleen, and she's just never learned or cared about having boundaries on the internet because her personal life has always been so intimately interconnected with her professional life. Being a fellow millennial, RUclips was SO different back when it first took off. Growing up in a Christian centered, sheltered environment definitely contributed to her not understanding proper boundaries too, and she's always had a more immature personality in my opinion. As a grown ass woman with kids of her own now, she needs to take accountability for all of the shit she did in the past. I hope she does the right thing.
I love how Olivia is so prepared. any time ethan asks something, she says she has it later or the information ready to go in her head and it's just great presenting for entertainment!
I enjoy how Dan always slowly gets intrigued by the powerpoint and ends fully engaged.
Omg me too! When he starts to chime in you know it’s getting GOOD
I love how Ethan is 100% in from the start. He LIVES for drama
he plays hard to get 😂
Dan is me, we play coy like we don't like the drama but by the end we're picking sides
Such a dad thing to do lol.
Olivia and Ethan have the same dynamic of me explaining anything to my parents and I love it so much.
We desperately need more and more of this content, bridging the information gaps between generations can only help us as a community, anyone who bashes the explanations and details given are just lazy communicators who don’t care about different generations remaining connected.
We can’t stop telling stories, even if they’re tragic or weird or downright overly complicated in a “dramatic” way.
KEEP SHARING STORIES.

What’s so crazy is that Colleen was saying that a child asked for her panties and so it’s their fault but does Colleen doesn’t realize that SHE’S the adult and could have just not done that? It’s so crazy
Adam didn't ask for them though, her video was highly edited from the live. Adam has shown the actual video snd you can tell there's no cuts. She also sent them to him when he was 13/14 not 17 as she said in her 1st apology video. It's disgusting. She knew better she was 30.
@@OneVintageWitch the point is though, even if she hadn't been straight up lying, even if Adam had been begging her for the underwear, she knew that he was 13/14 at the time, so her defense being "he asked for them" is so bizarre because no matter what he did, as the grown up, it's her responsibility to say no

@@Itsme_isabellyno one asked though..? We're laughing at a funny comment
If Colleen was male, people would say they are a predator. Blaming her actions on possibly being emotionally set back is NOT ok
100% agree, I’m sure her brothers behaviour was no secret, and all of this puts a little question mark over other strange behaviours such as her male adult friend living in a house with her children
I'm so sick of this "if she were male" bullshit. Ppl ARE saying she's a predator! Real male PEDOS everywhere get away with it for DECADES because people do exactly that. Deny they are doing anything wrong because they're talented/famous.
How do you think they got to commit the crimes in the first place? The public doing exactly what you're describing here. To men. So what does her being a woman have to do with anything? In fact It's probably why there were no actual crimes committed.
The reason men get any stigma is because statistics back it up. An estimated 91% of victims of rape & sexual assault are female and 9% male. Nearly 99% of perpetrators are male. And they all "got away with it", until they didn't.
Yeah I was kind of surprised how they dismissed her very obviously pedophilic behavior. This stuff is just what we know.
It's strange how willing they are to give Colleen multiple passes that they never game MJ; "they had a weird upbringing", "they may simply have the mentality of a child", "they don't understand why/that what they're doing is wrong".
The whole mandatory t-in-mouth picture thing is all anybody should need to see, she groomed her fans into sending her fetish content. Straight up.

It’s so sad that 3 years ago the majority of the internet just completely ignored, dismissed and gaslighted a 17 year old who had been groomed, abused and manipulated by a 30+ year old woman
I hope Adam, Becky and the other victims have the support they need this time round 💗
And they wonder why victims/survivors don't come forward with this this stuff
I had thought she had been canceled back then. Outside of H3 I never see internet drama and was never a Coleen fan so I thought she was over at that point. Disgusted that it was brushed off for three years.
I never really watched her. I did for a few months, following her pregnancy as I was pregnant at the same time. However, after the birth I stopped watching. I remember seeing Adams video, and being confused about it, and I think I followed popular opinion. I watched her apology and shrugged it off. I didn't realise how intense it all was. I wish I could warn myself
Dan laughing at Olivia’s Colleen fan behavior is big brother energy
It was sweet honestly
i love dan and olivia’s interactions it’s VERY much so big brother vibes
It was kinda sweet but... That chick is for kids who called her followers "weenies" and I know Olivia is young but 2019 was only 4 years ago lol. Forget how young she is
they’re so cute i love them it’s so clear that dan thinks olivia is very funny and they just play off each other so well
Warms my heart😂
I’m so happy they covered the whole Colleen situation because it’s important to show that predators can look like anyone.
This 💯
Olivia did a great job breaking it all down she’s really well spoken
Especially important that we come down on female predators, as they seem to get a pass from SO MANY PEOPLE.
The problem with Gen Z is that they have no analytical comprehension abilities. They missed-out on at least a couple of years of decent schooling and they don't know how to "listen to comprehend". Now they act like a bunch of know-it-alls. Trust me kids, life is hard. If you think this is grooming you are not going to survive the life that is ahead of you. If you had a decent education, you would know what 'satire' is. Sure -- Colleen and crew crossed the lines by being non-PG with you but -- you joined a Circus!! Willingly. You are not victims and they did not abuse you. Don't twist it, you're only going to make yourself feel bad -- for clout and subscribers. (That's how a basic fascist pogrom cancellation starts - left or right, they are wings on the same bird))
She looks "restarted" to be honest
don't forget colleen was also body shaming trisha and sending trishas nudes to the kids as well. JAIL.
Wait, what?!
OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THIS
They mentioned they would not be bringing up Trisha in the powerpoint. Probably out of concern it would make Trisha take it personally and somehow think they are attacking her.
@@Plutonium.2Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Trisha have a photo of herself naked in her house?
That's weird behavior at the extremely bare minimum. There are tons of reasons to go after Trisha and her body is not one of them. 😅 lol there's so much to roast her about

Its honestly my favorite segments

@@hokeypokey8911 because she is gen z lol
Jesus… reading Colleen’s brother’s messages with a fucking 13 yr old made me feel sick. This family needs to lose all of their support and more. Olivia did such a good job sharing all of the victim’s stories as well as all of the horrible shit the Ballinger’s have done.
And I wouldn't be so quick to glaze over the dads sexual fetishes.
What if he has a pregnancy fetish?
Un-nerving when you consider pregnancy has been a running theme for Collen and her SIL in addition to these general themes of exploitation and sexualisation of children, childhood, reproduction!?🤷
@@ellaova also true. Given the fact that seemingly all of their children are problematic/harmful in one way or another, it’s fair to assume the parents very well could be too. I’m suspicious of any religious parent who homeschools their children
Yeah, not only was he exchanging increasingly explicit messages with this 14-year-old, but he was ALSO clearly trying to use his presence at those shows to MEET this kid IN PERSON.
@@Diberdat66 exactly. Texting is bad enough but he made his intentions abundantly clear. I was glad when Dan called him what he is-a straight up pedophile
Colleen Ballinger is like Dan Schneider basically. Using their power to basically roleplay their weird fantasies
The first thing that crossed my mind after hearing about the tampon selfie thing was Dan's foot selfies.
Omg you are so right. I recently watched and interview with Alexa. And how Dan treated her was unforgivable and after everything that's come out you just know Colleen is on that level as well. It's disgusting.
Um the difference being that we know these things because he was an actual child predator with actual victims that spoke out. Unlike Colleen.
@@mercurialshift5793 Adam and the weenies are her victims and they are speaking out….
If she isn’t a predator, she thought she was super smart by basically creating a focus group of teens to develop content from in her “weenies.” The proximity of her best friend and sister in law to that group of minors might have led her to blur her boundaries with the group but there is no justification. Also her brother is a self confessed pedophile. The bizarre behaviors she and her family members display imply some seriously disturbing things about their family dynamics. I never thought this women was funny and it’s pretty clear to me that she’s sick, whether she knows it or not.
I find it convenient that Colleen and Erik don’t “know” when their anniversary is. 😂 They don’t wanna get caught in their prior cheating allegations.
I had never thought of this until they were talking about it 🤯
Tbf me and my partner don’t really have an anniversary. We just made one up since there wasn’t a day we really got together, it just sort of happened.
@jaymercer4692 yeah but they have a wedding anniversary, and conveniently "forget" when it was
They don’t know their wedding anniversary not their dating anniversary
@@Peytonscomet for being a hater you sure seem obsessed with her
It’s so strange that I’m actually happy that all of this is finally giving her kids a break from having a camera shoved in their face all day every day.
it's actually dystopian how family vloggers film their children daily and post it for strangers - millions of them! it's so unfair to the kids. digital footprints are forever.
I completely agree! She started hiding the camera from Flynn in corners of the room so he couldn’t see he was being recorded. It’s sick

@@eggham5073 thats so fckin sad n creepy asf
i bet she’s still doing it to keep them used to it in hopes that this won’t end her career & she’ll be able to keep going some day
Watching this, it kinda feels like Colleen and Korey were unpopular and maybe considered
‘losers’ when they were younger. Then as adults, having kids idolising them, they finally had the popularity and power they wish they when they were young teens.
Being the ‘boss’ of the young teens made them feel important and like the cool kids.
I hadn’t thought of it that way 💭🤔You have a valid point ☝🏻 (actually makes the most sense) I’m in no way defending CB but that tracks 👌🏻
True. Maybe they missed out on their childhoods, in some way, if that makes sense.
I feel the same, she behaves like a child. Kids talk about sex and grown up things in an immature way because they’re navigating it for the first time and find it cool/funny. It’s incredibly predatory when you’re a grown adult in your 30s talking to teens as if you’re one of them and forcing them to do things they’re not comfortable with when they idolise you and you have a power dynamic over them.
The fact that Ian was bouncing Ethan around the screen for 5 minutes nonchalantly is just amazing lol

@@poppatang4216I agree, but I think it’s because she rushes a little bit, because she’s not normally the person speaking for a large chunk of the show. It’s obvious she has the story fleshed out in her head, the delivery is still pretty good and will only improve with time
@@teasp00ns Totally agree. For starters, setting up the entire “cast” of the story in one shot at the beginning isn’t effective. Tell the story and introduce the cast as they become relevant.

the stiry is so messy and I follow it totally she has so many important details to paint the whole picture

She sounds like she's ready to eat her own face and at this point 2 hours in, I'm thinking this PowerPoint could have really taken 5 minutes. I think she just enjoys hearing her disgusting voice.
You people who watch this kind of content belong in mental institutions
So...the reason why Kodee was cancelled is because she withheld information for 3 years and could have potentially avoided the hate mob Adam got and could have exposed Colleen and quite literally brought this all up again out of nowhere. The reason why 3 years later (this year) she decided to expose the dms is because she said something along the lines of she wasn't ready until now and was getting over trauma and it's speculated that she only did this to get back at Colleen/Kory for blocking her, something like that so her intentions were not in the right place to begin with. She wanted to look like some sort of hero, despite the fact she shows that she worked with Colleen to tarnish Adams image looking for some sort of apologetic redemption arc.. but people quickly realized the timing and intentions were off and it began to backfire.
(Incase anyone was just as confused as Ethan was about this lol)
Also for the fact she said she did this for a new computer and also releasing info that Adam didn't want out as well.
@@joNizenas Yess...she said she was ready for a war with Colleen and backlash she would receive from anyone about this and it would only make her more money and seemed pretty confident saying this.. until she realized she really wasn't ready for shit, deleted all her posts made a live stream crying and basically ran away with her tail between her legs😬
Kodee literally admitted she released the video exposing Colleen and Kory (in a since deleted livestream) because she was mad at Kory for blocking her last year. So it 100% was to get back at Colleen and Kory and is not speculation btw. Kodee also did not let Adam know im advance she would exposing this story and their messages in the group chat (when she asked for ass pics from Adam)
Don’t forget about the fact that she wrote a fanfiction about SA that included the minors from the group chats 🤢

Can we talk about how Colleen and Rachel have been hanging out with Jojo Siwa since she was 14?? I always found that so weird.
To be fair that could have also just been gross clout chasing and Hollywood incestuous social relationships. Jojo had that juice and everyone else wanted to squeeze for their own game
Many creators hung out with Jojo and did collage. That proves nothing

The worst part is that this happens to so many kids, but since the predators aren’t public figures, nothing is ever done about it
💔
Exactly, and imagine how much of it is caused by generational trauma - aka victims become abusers themselves. Seeing as how the ballingers behave this way, I strongly question what is going on in their family. I think I heard Shane Dawson was abused in childhood too, and I hope we all know how much of a pedo he is by now.
Just the other day someone told me their mom is only 13 years older than them. This stuff can cause unimaginable suffering when it’s allowed to go on, causes pregnancy (often incestuous) and the child is forced to carry to term, or even keep the baby. This gets swiped under the rug a lot of the time because statistically it’s most often a male family member (father, uncle, grandfather) and in our society that is just so unimaginable we pretend it didn’t happen. Many times families even call the child a liar and side with the abuser.
@@MyDuckSaysFuccyup!!! Just recently someone in my town got sentenced to 240 years for CSA. Glad they sentenced him appropriately. He was a caretaker for children while parents worked. The kids didn’t speak out until they learned about the other kids’ abuse… and that they weren’t alone.

I feel so justified that I always thought she seemed weird AF, her "character" always seemed unhinged and that something was off. What a creep.
Just like Onision! Really slap sticky ulterior motive type ugh
Same exact vibe as Shane to me
A thing colleen has in common with the weirdness of Shane and onision is that some of the “characters” they played were based on ableist stereotypes of disabled folks. Colleen’s more explicitly revealed that
Frrr she was so INFURIATING AND ANNOYING to see and hear. Even annoying middle school me hated her off the bat. Never understood the hype

Also, Jojo's relationship with Colleen's sister Rachel was so bizarre too. Jojo would be staying the night with her 👀 like always around her, always in the backgrounds of videos. Why is a young girl friends with these adult women?
Rachel Ballinger gives some weird vibes, the same as Colleen but even more prominent.
Colleen continues to say, “a decade ago…” as if it excuses her behavior, but she was 33 years old! It doesn’t matter how long ago it was.
She was 26 years old ten years ago, but still plenty old enough to know better
Lol she’s 36, if you do the math, a decade ago makes her 26.
Respectfully guys, if Colleen were a man you wouldn’t sit there debating wether she’s a pedo or not… look how quick you guys were to call Shane worse but give her a more gentle get out. She is grooming and it’s clear as day, I say this as a woman too! Women need to be held to the same standard as men where harming children is concerned 🤢
I thought the same, I was so disappointed.
@@rjunxi it was really disappointing, it’s not just H3 either! 99% of the videos I’ve seen have the same take
No because you're so right
Right. There are plenty of female predators out there but they don't often get caught/publicized. Oftentimes, people's first reactions are to excuse or overlook the behavior because it's not seen as threatening. I remember seeing a vlog of her's once where she mentioned something leaking in her house and said it was leaking like a teenager's p***y/little girl's crease 🤮 which feels so disgusting to quote, but that never sat with me right and seeing all this stuff come out really makes me think she is a predator. No normal person's mind works like that. It seems like minors and sex have a correlation in her mind and the signs of that were there and no one batted an eye. Thankfully, the weenies are sharing their stories. What's especially concerning with this situation too is that there is not only Colleen involved, but other predatory adults who gained access to her child fanbase through her. Who knows if there are more private conversations that have not been and never will be screenshotted/shared. How many children have been exposed to things they shouldn't have or have been groomed/harmed through her and her contacts?
you're right and i agree with whoever on the show said the period stuff is a fetish thing. i was a teenage girl and i don't remember myself or any of my teenage girl friends pestering our friend group to take pics with tampons in our mouths and send them to each other. like in the vid of colleen doing it she was literally biting at the string in an extremely weird way. i don't even know what the humor in that would be even from a quirky 13 year old perspective
Forgot to mention Colleen also sent minors explicit pictures of Trisha’s only fans to make fun of her (also committing a crime)
Whaaaat the fuck? When was this, like year & month?
Adam McIntyre was talking about it. When he was a minor, she sended him Trisha s pic from patreon to laugh about her nipples or something......,
Trisha and Moses are in on it. They’ve deleted any and every comment. Gross
Thnx for commenting this
pretty sure they wanted to avoid involving trisha at all during this segment
Olivia, I have watched at least 5 or 6 videos about the Colleen situation and your PowerPoint was by far the best and most comprehensive.
1:46:31 the reveal that she not only used ghostwriters as a comedian (very common but super hacky) but used UNPAID CHILDREN to ghostwrite her jokes just explains so much
her kids go to her mother's all the time and her brother lives with them, that comment from dan at the end made shivers run down my spine. please someone watch those babies omg
All the kids are being exploited by their family channels!
the photos of adam with colleen are so so heart breaking. like he’s just an innocent little kid.
It is incredible how maturely he handled this whole situation. Mad respect to him
It made me so sad:( I don’t know if I could’ve handled all that backlash
as someone who was groomed thru similar ways, i know what it’s like to have someone get you to do anything for them because you just love and idolize them so so much. i genuinely can’t imagine how it would have impacted me to have to deal w millions of rabid fans harassing me for years. he’s really strong, i hope he knows that
this is what people fail to comprehend when they go after him or blame him. he was a child , there’s no blame to be placed on him
Kids ask for and are given sex change operations...... At this point a pair of panties seems pretty harmless
Colleen knew what she was doing. She was grooming kids to be victims of the men around her. She used her shows to pick out the kids to get close to. The girls that dressed skimpy to get on stage were invited the group chat. She set up a self selection. There is no way she didn't know what she was doing. It took the kids growing up and realizing what they endured was abuse. I'm glad she was stopped. These people are very brave to come forward.

@@georgieeve2026 sure but to mention divorce in your vows is freaking weird. When I wrote my vows nothing that like entered my mind. It's unfathomable
So thankful that you finally covered Colleen, I’ve been waiting for her behaviors to make it on H3’s radar. So much love to Olivia for doing the lords work.
He talked about it on the members stream--the story has been on Ethan's radar for a while, he just didn't want to cover it because she recently started a podcast with Trisha and he didn't want it to seem like he was trying to sabotage Trisha
Ethan's drama face is everything, love his energy for drama. Olivia that presentation was amazing ❤❤
The family definitely needs to keep their children safe from Trent. That is not okay, legit concerning
We need a ghost hunting episode in Ethan’s basement, it’s the only explanation
@@garafanvou6586are the ghost hunting episodes not well loved? i always thought they were so funny!
PLEASE I can't wait until Halloween for another ghost hunting episode!!
@@beetleebuggand the continued lore that comes from them is amazing. Long live the Crosby doll
Colleens behaviour LITERALLY screams malignant narc. and her lil community she created all around her reflects that.
🎯🎯🎯
She has all the qualities. She is a narcissist. They're monsters. That's why she surrounds herself with kids and Trisha
def this is the case. i don’t think she’s actually attracted to kids personally, but she likes having kid followers because they’re easier to control and have dote over her. still predatory behavior
@@cupknee Agreed. She wants to be Regina George, the mental games that her and Kory play with those fans are so cruel. The hierarchy, calling them squeents. Making fun of the fan that got the Colleen tattoo is especially heartbreaking.
The fact that Ethan got both the submarine outcome right and his covid prediction right is crazy. Everyone listen to the hairline king, he knows all.
Zach’s dying from laughter in the background is by far always my favorite part of the show.
righttt
He's the Stavros Halkias of H3.
My favorite part 3:34:56 I love his laughter!! 😂😂
More examples on why children SHOULD NOT be allowed on social media. There are creeps everywhere.
This is why I don’t use tik tok or Instagram. No I don’t want to watch 16,17 year olds coming up on my feed with their new weird dance trends. Why does it get pushed so much?? Why is it trending and why is it being shown to everyone. I hate it all and it shouldn’t be allowed for children to use at all.
Cannot believe she films their every move. Disgusting
Sending children porn is a crime.. so if that allegation is true then yes, crimes.
Absolutely a crime
I was a kid around the Colleen era And I remember tweeting a picture of Tyler Oakley’s phone case that I bought and him liking it and I freaked out I was so excited I can’t imagine how these kids felt when their idol was actually talking to them and confining in them it’s pure manipulation of a child
That’s a great example. Influence is power
My chemo’s are going to be so much more lonely without the pod but I’m so grateful for how hard everyone works to give us so many episodes a week. Also the comments on the Reddit from the other person with cancer helped lighten the mood with h3 lore. This is why I love this podcast so much and the whole h3 family. It’s like a bunch of friends I don’t have in real life :(
Sending good vibes to you 🫶
good vibes 🫶🏻
Dude, I went through chemo in 2021. I'm wishing you all the best on your journey. I know that there are downs during and after those sessions, but just know those are all temporary. When I went through chemo, I just watched a lot of Frenemies, old H3 clips, and other RUclipsrs to keep me distracted from the exhaustion and pain. Sending you positivity and good vibes.
💟💜💟💜💟 sending luv and I hope everything goes okay. Lots of people here will always be down to chat and be there for good vibes I’m sure 😊
Sending so so much love and I hope it all goes well. I may not know you but I’m rooting for you and sending you so much positivity. You’re not alone🤍
I talk to 13-14 year olds all the time (the joys of being a teacher), they are basically infants. I think they’re fun to talk to because they have such different insight, but that’s in a classroom setting. Who would just want to talk to kids in a group chat? I go home at the end of the day and decompress from all the children I’ve been around all day.
You don't ask them for "butt pics" or talk about oral sex and periods? What DO you talk about? Science? History? Lame.
In all seriousness, thank you for all you do. Your inclusion of the need to decompress shows us how demanding your job is 🙏♥️
Alfredo refusing to go in the basement because he can sense that the quartering is hidden down there behind the drywall pissing everywhere
Now they gotta check for ammonia and mold 🤒
I’m so glad Olivia brought up the whole thing with Colleen and family getting upset about having to turn off comments for kid videos! It’s so weird and I hadn’t seen anyone talk about it yet.
my recollection ..also was that Jessica condemned the pexos (obv) but was super angry that kid vidoes also go t demonitized for a time being
Yeah the outrage was about the money, those pedos bring clicks.
Wish she would have brought up all videos of Colleen sexualizing kids, like even using her own nieces to clickbait pedos to watch the videos, making a child stick their hand down her pants during a live show etc, there's SO MUCH more to her being inappropriate with children and talking about children in a sexual way.
@@aspannas That's a good point! I feel like we covered a lot but there is still so much more under the surface.
Id really like to find the vlog where she says this so I can clip it. Does anyone remember what vlog or time period this was? Im having trouble. Thanks.
Why did I think they meant an inflation fetish like economic inflation 😂 I was like “that man is SICK”
The fact that it’s called “want” only confirmed my theory 😂😂😂
Same here 😂
Omg this comment sent me😂
Colleen is like a real life version of those "girl who thinks you're obsessed with her" tiktoks
The best part is those are the people she built her career making fun of 💀
Oh my god😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nah fr 😂
@@squirrelbugg99she was projecting HARD when she made miranda
@@anniesmith6165 it’s all just ✨projection✨
You guys definitely deserve the break but will miss you all so much 🥹
we need a follow up on this because I have to see Ethan's reaction to her "apology" and the Trisha betrayal!!
I’m WAITING 😭
As a 40 year old, I can't even picture myself being friends with someone in their 20s, let alone with actual children like that. It's f'ing weird and creepy.
bro as a 21 year old i couldn't even imagine myself being friends or even interacting in a serious manner with 14 year old kids it's wild
@@martiijn Exactly. Just ridiculous.
I haven't really been following this Coleen situation, but WOW, it is FAR more disturbing than I realized. She is a sick lady.
I hope Colleen’s kids are finally safe and off the internet. A camera in their face from the moment they were born.
But they still have her as a Mom.
@@Daleylifeyeah and imagine how much anger she could take out on them now
She's literally been using her channel to make money off them from day one it's disgusting 🫣
I have so much respect for the vloggers I used to watch as a teen/early twenties for keeping their children out of their content. Some of them had 1m+ followers on here and knowing how much money there is to be made in family vlogging but still putting their children's safety and privacy first.
Olivia really just drops the bombs with no buildup lol she’s just like “so he sent porn to the kids”
This isn’t about cancellation….this is criminal. Period.
It must be. Be interesting to see what happens next. If I was a parent of one of these kids I’d be taking it further.
It kills me that people are trying to excuse Trent's behavior because he has a disability. My cousin is deaf and never would he ever behave this way. The "my parents don't want me to" is very telling. Even if you're trying to say he's "delayed" that statement alone shows that he understands he's not supposed to, but continues to do so anyways.
This entire family is one giant red flag.
It’s not an excuse at all, but I think it’s also important to note that he also has a learning disability. Not because that means what he did is okay, but because his family needed to be even more proactive in monitoring these types of messages.
@@rachelzeke its still an excuse to make him seem innocent. He's not innocent. I've worked as a nurse in a facility with individuals deemed too "mentally incompetent" to be in society because they had varying mental disorders and committed crimes or didn't have loved ones to watch out for them. Many of the adults I worked with had child predatory charges or attempted murder charges. I would hear the therapist come in and basically give these adults excuses. "It was your moms fault, she should've watched you better." Meanwhile these same people are turning to me afterwards and saying: "It wasn't my moms fault. I would've found a way." Sure, some of these adults absolutely didn't know any better, but they weren't going around saying "i know what I did/want to do is bad." People are using Trents learning disability.. delay.. whatever its going to be next week, is an excuse. It looks poorly on the adults who share similar diagnosis who would never do something like that. I've seen it happen first hand.
When I heard it was Trent that had been writing I was initially inclined to wonder if his learning disability had to do with it, but having seen the messages I agree with you that it's an excuse. He shows very well in how he phrases things that he knows full well that it's wrong and that he is aware of what he is doing. Definitely very gross, and knowing that the family knew about it makes it even more upsetting.
Can we please acknowledge Zach’s super smooth and low music he plays during the podcast that just sets the vibe so right at almost a indistinguishable level and perfectly blended in. 👌
That’s why he’s so good…..it’s like you don’t even notice it sometimes it’s just perfect. Effortless
Wait what music I swear there's no music playing
@@briana57463its super quiet u can only hear when theyre not speaking
Yeah well I could have personally gone without hearing it during some of the more explicit grooming allegations, felt super inappropriate
@@arctaexthen don’t watch lmao
Those top comments on her "apology" video are insane. "She isn't blaming anyone." She literally blamed a 14 year old for HER sending him underwear. "He asked for them" were her literal words. Even if he did, be the adult, Colleen. F-in Pluto.
The clips of Adam looking at his pictures had me crying too. I can’t imagine that kind of weight on such a young kid. My heart breaks for him
I'm 35 and have difficult with the generational gap of dealing even with people in their 20's. The Colleen Ballinger thing is absolutely insane.
I’m 29 and the last thing I want to do with the little free time I have is interact with a bunch of 14-17 year olds.
the last time i hung out with younger kids was when i was 21 (in online games.) i learned very quickly what a bad time that is lol
hell at 22 i don’t even like being around anyone younger than 20 lmao they’re in a completely different plane of reality
@@user-vm6mw5xw7o my general rule of thumb is I don’t hang out with anyone who can’t buy a drink or rent a car 😂💀
It makes me cringe so bad seeing Colleen laughing so hard talking to those 14 year olds like they’re her besties omg it makes me hurl
pls i think i got arthritis from cringing so hard that was vile 💀
As someone who had a partner for years who dismissed all internet / celeb drama as dumb and not worthy of a minute of his time, listening to Ethan eat up these segments is healing
Very much. I love when we get those segments
Nothing brings people together like tea and a deep dive, sounds like your partner was missing out ❤
What a loser
Imagine a 33 year old man sent a 14 year old girl underwear...
🤮
For real
Lingerie*** ☹️☹️😳😳
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to whoever it was who saw my tweet about Brian and pointed out the kind of person he is. I had to lock up my twitter after you guys did the live but just know I appreciate you getting my story out there. It's super frustrating to see him go viral when he should still be in jail for cyber stalking. I am sure my comment will get lost in the thousands but just know I appreciate you all talking about it.
Timestamp?
1:25:43 ethan bopping around on the screen like the dvd logo screensaver had me in STITCHES. i already know whoever was doing that was having too much fun 😭💀😂
To answer Ethan’s question
Kodee got cancelled because she was also an adult talking to minors, but released all these receipts just to try and NOT get called out for her own BS
She also wrote fanfic about Eric being r*** and included (or wanted to include?) minors to that fantasy
@@lilyth682 I did NOT know THAT....😀 the fuck
Kodee has admitted to doing it to get back at Cory for blocking them too - but tried to pass it off like they were a hero for finally releasing this info
kody being an adult the whole time makes it her fault for the bullying of adam as well even though there was more for colleen who had all the power in the fan idol dynamic, she didn't have power over the part of the adult kody who went out of her way to call the minor a manipulator of a woman twice his age. Her being called out is a internet not being tunnel visioned for once moment
I love how much Olivia knows her stuff. She’s my favorite on the pod. Olivia if you see this 💜💜💜
I was ultimately groomed via Onisions fanbase back in 2012 and I can tell you now, the similarities to Colleens fan base is SO concerning
Do you have any opinions on some of the legislation being passed? Especially in California regarding teachers talking to students about gender ideology while simultaneously keeping it a secret from the parents?
Even if you don't have concerns, do you see the parallels here and why parents, especially those that have gone through youth protection training might be concerned?
@@faceplants2r u okay buddy
@@Lexixrae I resent the implication you are making and the dismissive effect you intended it to have
@@faceplants2I see the parallels. That doesn't mean the analogy you're attempting to illustrate here isn't callous, ignorant, and moreover, really fucking stupid
I remember his segment of asking underage fans for their pics to rate them online and he would insult some of them. He always gave me the ick
Honestly its sweet seeing Olivia that young and being so wholesome and happy for someone else's wedding, it really shows she has been that positive vibrant person since very young.
It was so endearing :)
With the amount of times she talked about periods, wanting DEEP details about young children, and wanting photos of children with tampons In their mouth, I think it is some sort of fetish. Never even thought about that Untill Ethan mentioned it 😬 this is so twisted.
Idk what you are talking about but it sounds MeNtAL
There's also a video where she's talking about her book and how there's a part on how to make a hot dog look like a vagina and that there was a mistake on that page because what she actually wanted was for the hot dog to look like "a nasty bloody vagina" with ketchup on it and she then says it's "because I'm a pervert"!!!!!
Colleen has talked a lot about being unpopular when she went to actual school, and her parents sheltered her growing up. I think to some degree she wanted to live out her cool, raunchy, mean teen girl fantasy and mentally regressed to that place. Not an excuse obviously, we’re just all curious why someone would act this way- it truly is bizarre.
I watched her for 10+ years and definitely agree
@@SnowLiliesall this shit coming out about her explains a lot about her mental health struggles when it comes to anxiety. that girl has a lot of guilt eating her up inside
I agree with you, I think Colleen is really immature and has a lot of unresolved issues from her childhood. But so does a lot of people and they deal with it in ways that doesn't involve committing crimes. I just hope other people look at this and learn from it. I think a lot of influencers have problematic dynamics with their fans, and hopefully this story makes more of them take a step back and look at how they interact with fans.
I think this too. She's living out her mean girl persona and it's hwer personality now
100%. I grew up watching colleen, and she's just never learned or cared about having boundaries on the internet because her personal life has always been so intimately interconnected with her professional life. Being a fellow millennial, RUclips was SO different back when it first took off. Growing up in a Christian centered, sheltered environment definitely contributed to her not understanding proper boundaries too, and she's always had a more immature personality in my opinion. As a grown ass woman with kids of her own now, she needs to take accountability for all of the shit she did in the past. I hope she does the right thing.
I relate so hard to Olivia’s fan girl phase don’t worry queen the best of us were embarrassing at 13 hahah
It triggered flashbacks to my Dan and Phil phase😭
You were the first person to make me aware of the drama and I’m so grateful you covered this topic
Dan was in his version of goblin mode this podcast haha he has so much energy today
Gamer supps!!
Dan got the zoomies we love to see it
I love how Olivia is so prepared. any time ethan asks something, she says she has it later or the information ready to go in her head and it's just great presenting for entertainment!
