Hello I did this video without a script so I guess I didn’t communicate this well but I’m not saying that what Colleen did isn’t grooming, I’m just saying it’s not grooming in the “traditional” sense which she definitely tried to use to her advantage in her argument. Sorry I should have communicated that better lol like I said I don’t do this off the cuff shit that often.
I definitely understand what you meant and where you were coming from. The reason people probably have to qualify it a bit more is because it’s really wild how much people that like her are trying to say it’s not grooming because she didn’t try to have sex with them even though she gave her brother access to her fans and he DID (allegedly) sexually groom them, and making a child sexually uncomfortable in any fashion is a problem and she did that too.
I'm glad you clarified, because not gonna lie, you were beginning to sound like a groomer sympathizer. It really doesn't matter if she's somehow stunted or not. She's a grown woman who was talking to minors explicitly. And that's universally not okay, so she should have known better.
@@itsargyle I just spent 12 minutes shitting on this apology and explaining that what she did was wrong and you're calling me a groomer sympathizer? Obviously what she did was wrong and she should have known better but yeah, she is emotionally stunted, and that's evident by the fact that in the song, *she* says she's not going to admit to any fault. Sorry this is a wild fucking comment lmao
Regarding whether she deserves her title of Groomleen - Grooming IS NOT inherently sexual. It is a TACTIC of systematic desensitisation to gain trust and slowly erode any boundaries. It is used to illicit compliance and evade detection and is really common among all kinds of abusers. So yes, you can be groomed without being SAd.
Exactly… she caused harm even if that wasn’t her intention. And what made her “apology” worse is that she was trying to absolve herself from the harm she potentially caused. But at the same she spent the last 2 minutes of her video saying she made a mistake & she’s not perfect… which one is it??
@@taginefc3189in my opinion, you do not have to apologise for causing harm in some contexts. People react to things differently and some people can become traumatised from situations that are comparably not very serious. We can be sensitive to the fact that people have trauma but that doesn’t mean it’s the responsibility of the person who caused it to apologise or act as if they did anything wrong if they don’t feel they did
Witnessing her play a ukulele with passive aggressive lyrics ,all while not addressing the very illegal actions she has participated in with minors, had the same neurological impact as huffing paint.
@ville__👈🏾so this guy is just posting “Colleen is innocent” on every video about her apology. He represents the delusional entitlement & complete lack of self-awareness of Colleen & her stans. Her fans literally support her odd and harmful behavior because they like her.. It’s weird.
Actually though her apology is absolutely wild. Career ending. But game changing. It’s going to become the “I have made a severe and continuous lapse in judgement” for a new generation
Wanted to see if anyone else would say this. But honestly I can't watch a video of someone basically saying Colleen, a woman who was in her 30s this whole scandal, was just "naive" and didn't know what she was doing.
She sat down, pressed record, got her ukelele out, went for at least ten minutes and not once did she go "Is this bad? Does this make me look out of touch...nah! This is the only way to respond"
She had to practice 😂 she had to make a first draft, pick the notes, make the words fit better, directly ignore her PR and legal team, and work on it till she thought it was good enough to film. There were so many steps 😭😭😭 She had to have shown it to SOMEONE before she posted and that person didn’t press delete 😭😭😭😭
Girl it was always ‘socially acceptable’ to say that and you know it, it’s now just becoming fun and exciting to contribute to all of the attacks and hate on someone’s character
@@sean4075 this isn’t in a court of law because there has been no crime. She didn’t say it’s all lies, she is referring to people calling her a groomer and child exploiter being lies, and yes she then admits to being inappropriate in group chats, they don’t contradict one another. In my personal opinion Colleen is the biggest victim here and nobody was groomed by Colleen
@@sean4075 I haven’t been gaslit please don’t impose these things or assume anything about me as I wouldn’t do the same to you, I disagree with you and that’s ok I just don’t believe people should be attacking her as hard as they are that’s all
@elijahmorris6314 You’re fighting for your life to defend a woman who we’ve literally PROVEN at this point has done disgusting things to/with minors and exploited their affections for her to her own benefit
@@xhappyponyxwasmyoldname1395 I’m absolutely not fighting for my life, I am not as passionate as the people attacking her that much is clear. You can sit there and say you have proven she has done these things but my issue isn’t with the lack of evidence, it’s with the way it’s presented. Most of the things she did are so obviously not with malicious intent and people are acting like that doesn’t matter when it absolutely matters. She didn’t do anything that bad that’s the bottom line
No one said not to talk about it. She's using that from a toilet paper commercial. Why did she always go to the kids choice awards if this isn't for kids? She doesn't make many fart jokes. She jokes about private parts and molestation. If she didn't think kids should be watching her content, why were they the main ones she conversed with, met on vacations, allowed to have her password to write jokes for her, and brought on stage to put in compromising positions?
When I saw the intro I truly didn't think it had anything to do with the rest of the video. I was like "Oh, Kayla decided to sing in this intro, cool", because I guess my brain just couldn't even fathom trying to apologize this way.
I will say, it is legitimate grooming when you consider that she was urging sexual conversations over text with minors and doing overtly sexual acts with them onstage. I think too many people are giving her the benefit of the doubt on that. The conversations are extremely creepy and the things she did to kids in front of live audiences… just so gross.
Just wanna start off by saying: your intro for this video was iconic (for mocking Colleen of course). I never thought we would hit a NEW low with youtuber apology videos cuz I feel like it's been a hot minute since we've gotten one of these........but I honestly was not prepared for the fuckery in her video after watching it. I definitely feel bad for all the victims as well, but especially to Johnny and Becky who felt safe enough to come out on video and share their experiences with Colleen. I'm glad that they are being met with positive reception, as well as to Adam now since he previously got unjustly trashed by Colleen's fanbase for rightfully trying to speak out back in 2020.
People should also be upset about her creating an entire character (and career off the character) that literally just makes fun of people with developmental disabilities.
I’ve always felt grossed out by parents exploiting their kids for content. People will make Instagram accounts for their kids before they’re even born?
I've never been thrilled with parents using their kids' names for brands. Feels a little use-y rather than just a tribute. What if it weirds out the kids later? And shouldn't they get an automatic cut rather than hope they inherit? Maybe they don't want things decided about their name and likeness for your financial benefit without a say.
Word of the day, narcissist 😂😂 it’s the classic “oh I’m sorry you felt I shouldn’t have talked to you like that”. Not “I’m actually sorry for talking to you like that”. There’s a big difference. The lack of any refutable proof (because there is none) is also telling.
so i was obsessed with Miranda Sings and went to a few of her shows. honestly the shows themselves were making fun of how stupid conservatives were, the jokes were usually like “this girl is showing an ankle so it’s pornography”. having said that, i had no idea she was also having secret group messages with fans. the trauma dumping seems very legit, this girl has gone through a lot and she would vent for hours on her blog channels so it makes sense that she would also complain to people she believed were her friends. still i find it very hard to believe a 30 year old would not see the issue with talking to people half their age for such personal interactions, what a mess.
Well said. How awkward to even know this person thinks a ukele sing song type video is the proper reply to inappropriate actions with minors. I can’t see any pictures or clips of this lady without feeling so uncomfortable!
She also used them for work, she asked them to make videos and compile things for her with no pay. I think that’s where the grooming comes in cause after she didn’t need Adam they stopped speaking
grooming is not inherently sexual, she manipulated and gained the trust of children to do her online dirtywork, not to mention w/ Adam as an example, get content out of. really want to emphasize the grooming bit b/c it is /not inherently sexual/. what she did could absolutely be categorized as grooming.
to have a worse apology than jefree star, shane dawson, and fucking idubbz is insane. like their apologies were horrible, but at least they didnt PULL OUT A UKULELE
While I can't follow your twitter because I deleted it a while back, you definitely deserve props for this video's intro! You're really good at playing the ukulele, and I never would never known that, or that you played at all, if I hadn't watched this video.
Lord I really hope she takes it down eventually. I can't imagine being a kid whose classmates have seen a video of your mom apologizing for accusations of, let's see, using child labor, showing kids' hands down her pants and spreading their legs on stage, and asking kids on discord about mature stuff by singing a salty ukulele song.
i was just in the showering going "man, i wish i still had a ukulele so i could parody collleen's apology somehow" so the intro of this video was extra entertaining for me
I accidentally overdosed on my medication & watched all of Black Mirror Season 6 in that state... Yet somehow, that was more of a sane & rational experience than watching this insane Colleen Ballinger apology.
I never kept up with her since her Miranda Sings character wasn’t my cup of tea either. The “theater kid who has never had a real job” gave so much necessary context, thank you, I literally went “oohhhh. Yeah. that tracks then” when you said that. I’ve only started to look into that whole situation and it just was baffling to me why anyone would think interacting with kids like that was okay and fine. Doesn’t excuse it of course, but it just makes much more sense to me now to know the flavor of delusion here
you should plug a link to your twitter if you want to have your followers back! it's going to work better if people won't have to type the thing in themselves.
@@dandelion_official4812seething mad!! As the narcissist she is, she is so pissed that everyone on the planet isn’t bowing at her feet adoring her. So she whips this little ditty up to get the minions to go after them all. Classic I’m so sorry you were offended and hurt, not I’m sorry I offended and hurt you. Big diff. The ukulele was a twist for sure. Just another example of her showing how pissed she is she has to deal with any of this so she mocks it all instead.
This is a little beside the point, but I’ve always thought her character was pretty ableist. Seems like she’s just making fun of autistic or other neurodivergent people.
Girl you could legit make a video of you eating breakfast and I'd still watch it 💀 I like that you have such honest opinions about topics that I may or may not know and im always ready to learn about it ❤❤❤
what I don't get is people .....don't think its extremely creepy she made a wiggles /blues clues pre k vibe song ...did she make it for her kids ?.......
ok i haven't watched the video and im not going to it sounds honestly unbearable to watch. also the whole "team told me not to talk about this so im going to sing it" bullshit, i can't like what the hell is going on in this world.
need more blunt youtubers tallkin on dramas like this good video and glad u call out the vloging her kid stuff ion bout this drama but that always seemed off
Hey, I’m already a fan of your content, but I was genuinely impressed with how nuanced your take on the situation was and how articulate you were. I agree with pretty much all of your opinions, especially that - to her - she probably genuinely doesn’t think she’s done anything wrong; she didn’t have the same chance to mature as other people as she was stuck in an independent, largely child centric bubble. That’s obviously not an excuse, she’s an adult and should realize whether or not her intentions were malicious or ignorant doesn’t matter, outcome matters.
She was 30 when all this happened. If at 30 you don’t realize talking sexually to a kid at 15 is wrong, you need to be on the s o register. That’s just a no brainer. Teachers are around kids all day and don’t talk about their sex lives with their students.
The internet really has been insane the last couple of weeks. This is going to be in essays in 20 years time about how social media changed our attitudes to news.
one thing i think we can agree on, is that we finally have SOMETHING worthy of laughing about in the next 5 years, the word “train” or “persian cat” will never be heard the same way again
This is a case study of internet culture, I'm not even kidding. Colleen know where she's at, she knows how the internet works, and instead of apologizing for her fans and giving them closure, she decided to do her own move on the cancellation game. This is the kind of things that could only be pulled off after years of observing internet behaviour, how people treat those that are being cancelled, how the one who is on the spot responds to that, and what happens after all is said and done. We know one thing: Colleen did something NO ONE EVER did before, she was smart as hell for that. It's like she's playing chess and just did the most absurd move ever, and we are going to witness what that leads to. I wasn't paying too much attention to this, but now I will be obsessed, this is the kind of stuff that give us more insight to internet culture. And I really wanna see how this is gonna turn out. She really didn't lie when she mentioned that at least we are being entertained, and she just decided to put the clown attire and give us a show. This is gonna go down in internet history.
also got to feel a little bad for trisha paytas too. probs thought the podcast would be the start of a new chapter only for it to be snuffed out by shit that had been happening well into the past that she (trisha) had arguably no control over..
It was only five years ago and she was 31 at the time. So not that far in the past actually, and it hasn’t helped that she was still in these group chats up until 3 days ago.
to be sure i had the facts straight, i googled "what did colleen ballinger do" and for some reason the first result was "save on colleen ballinger today at amazon!" read the room jeff
"Grooming is when a person builds a relationship with a child, young person or an adult who's at risk so they can abuse them and manipulate them into doing things. The abuse is usually sexual or financial, but it can also include other illegal acts. Grooming can take place online or in person and it can happen over a short or long period of time - from days to years." - Metropolitan Police

Her unhinged stare into the camera while she’s playing the ukulele is so unnerving and quite disturbing…
Thank you! Her eyes....nah, something is wrong with her. Mentally.
Yeah the way her eyes darted around the room and would open freaked me out

And the little “look at poor innocent me” smiles as her dead eyes just stare at us… nah I was unnerved
@ville__ nooope, he’s not. He was NOT the adult, she was. And she has attempted to ruin his life.
Laura Lee is so pumped right now that her apology video is dropping down the list of the worst/most referenced apology videos of all time 😂
That name gave me so many flashbacks 😂

I hate to put this out there but I think she made it a song so she can copyright claim and maybe become a viral sound on tiktok and get money.

what I don't get is people .....don't think its extremely creepy she made a wiggles /blues clues pre k vibe song ...did she make it for her kids ?.......
RIGHT.
ok i haven't watched the video and im not going to it sounds honestly unbearable to watch. also the whole "team told me not to talk about this so im going to sing it" bullshit, i can't like what the hell is going on in this world.
shout out Ryan Beard's skit about trying to ban milennials from buying ukuleles.
omgg Kayla….that song with the uke at the beginning…some of your best work on this channel, chefs kiss 🤌🏽 LMFAOO
I know nothing about this, but your insight is really fun.
need more blunt youtubers tallkin on dramas like this good video and glad u call out the vloging her kid stuff ion bout this drama but that always seemed off
I never heard of colleen before and now this ukulele nonpology Streisand effect sweepstakes winner is my favorite thing
Hey, I’m already a fan of your content, but I was genuinely impressed with how nuanced your take on the situation was and how articulate you were. I agree with pretty much all of your opinions, especially that - to her - she probably genuinely doesn’t think she’s done anything wrong; she didn’t have the same chance to mature as other people as she was stuck in an independent, largely child centric bubble. That’s obviously not an excuse, she’s an adult and should realize whether or not her intentions were malicious or ignorant doesn’t matter, outcome matters.
She was 30 when all this happened. If at 30 you don’t realize talking sexually to a kid at 15 is wrong, you need to be on the s o register. That’s just a no brainer. Teachers are around kids all day and don’t talk about their sex lives with their students.
I don’t feel like it takes much maturity to know you shouldn’t send p0rn to your underage fans ngl
She should have stayed silent because this was not it at all
The way that the internet is losing its freaking mind about this is insane and amazing
Discrediting others like that by calling it a toxic gossip train while not taking any accountability is an abomination.
The internet really has been insane the last couple of weeks. This is going to be in essays in 20 years time about how social media changed our attitudes to news.
It's so funny to me seeing her villain era.
I couldn't even believe the video was real 😭😭
one thing i think we can agree on, is that we finally have SOMETHING worthy of laughing about in the next 5 years, the word “train” or “persian cat” will never be heard the same way again
This response is so. Wild. 😂 AND she only left the group chat a few days ago what is she even thinking
you seriously do not miss!!! 🔥 i think you’re take is the fairest of them all.
Do you think she made a song to copyright it?
Honestly the suspension on twitter is a tagline now 😅
LMAO not you making a video about this 😂
That fucking intro 💀💀💀 this channel is the truth lol
Colleen can add the ukelele to things she irreparably harmed (if that's even possible).
I think you're spot on with your analysis here
Does making it a song make it easier to copyright claim?
Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room, a rubber room. A rubber room with rats. The rats made me crazy
THE UKULELE INTRO😭😭😭😭
How did you collect this video's imagery so quickly? Her video came out only a few hours ago!
I literally felt like I was losing my mind watching that video LOL. If this is not just a testament to her criminally bad judgment, I dunno what issss
This is a case study of internet culture, I'm not even kidding.
Colleen know where she's at, she knows how the internet works, and instead of apologizing for her fans and giving them closure, she decided to do her own move on the cancellation game.
This is the kind of things that could only be pulled off after years of observing internet behaviour, how people treat those that are being cancelled, how the one who is on the spot responds to that, and what happens after all is said and done.
We know one thing: Colleen did something NO ONE EVER did before, she was smart as hell for that. It's like she's playing chess and just did the most absurd move ever, and we are going to witness what that leads to.
I wasn't paying too much attention to this, but now I will be obsessed, this is the kind of stuff that give us more insight to internet culture. And I really wanna see how this is gonna turn out.
She really didn't lie when she mentioned that at least we are being entertained, and she just decided to put the clown attire and give us a show.
This is gonna go down in internet history.
What's more: We're stuck with this song forever. Bet.
I like this take very much
This really makes me feel like the world is ending so the universe is just jumping the shark in the last season
"the situation was getting so big" hmmm i never knew about this
This is such a fast turnaround from content to Kayla you know this is some messed timeline
also got to feel a little bad for trisha paytas too. probs thought the podcast would be the start of a new chapter only for it to be snuffed out by shit that had been happening well into the past that she (trisha) had arguably no control over..
It was only five years ago and she was 31 at the time. So not that far in the past actually, and it hasn’t helped that she was still in these group chats up until 3 days ago.
SHE HARDLY EVEN SUNG. She spoke for most of the video and was like "They didn't say I could sing" Like she was Kat Valentine
FR
to be sure i had the facts straight, i googled "what did colleen ballinger do" and for some reason the first result was "save on colleen ballinger today at amazon!" read the room jeff
I just finished listening to this podcast called Scamanda.
PLEASE I CANNOT WITH THIS INTRO
Oh, she's FOR SURE gonna copyright strike your channel for showing the video, be careful
This is genuinely such a good video
I thought it was a meme when I saw a still at first. I can't believe this is really real.
If the texts between her brother and her fan who is a thirteen year old at the time are true, its super inappropriate.
"Grooming is when a person builds a relationship with a child, young person or an adult who's at risk so they can abuse them and manipulate them into doing things.
The abuse is usually sexual or financial, but it can also include other illegal acts.
Grooming can take place online or in person and it can happen over a short or long period of time - from days to years."
