Colleen Ballinger, the YouTube creator known for her character Miranda Sings, has responded to accusations of inappropriate relationships with teenagers. In a 10-minute video posted on her Colleen Vlogs channel, Ballinger denied the allegations and addressed the issue partly through song.
Ballinger admitted that in the early days of her YouTube career, she messaged fans in what she described as a “loser kind of way,” but denied any creepy intentions. She acknowledged oversharing in direct messages but claimed to have changed her behavior and taken accountability.
She referred to the accusations as “toxic gossip” and criticized the mob mentality surrounding them. Ballinger refused to admit to lies and rumors and emphasized that the only thing she has ever groomed is her two Persian cats.
Regarding her character Miranda Sings, Ballinger stated that she makes it clear that the content is PG-13 and not suitable for young children. She believes it is the responsibility of parents to decide what their children can watch.
The accusations against Ballinger came to light three years ago when YouTuber Adam McIntyre alleged that she formed an inappropriate personal friendship with him when he was between 13 and 16 years old. He claimed that she sent him lingerie as a joke and they exchanged text messages for years. Ballinger admitted to making jokes in poor taste but denied any intention to manipulate.
In response to Ballinger’s video, McIntyre tweeted about his experience and accused her of being an “evil woman” whose true nature was now revealed.
