YouTuber Colleen Ballinger Breaks Silence on Grooming Allegations
Colleen Ballinger is singing her side of the story.
The YouTuber, best known for her awkward alter ego Miranda Sings, refuted allegations of grooming and forming inappropriate relationships with underage fans in musical vlog on June 28. While strumming a ukulele, Ballinger likened the accusations to a “toxic gossip train” headed for “manipulation station” as the rest of the internet “tie me to the tracks and harass me for my past.”
“Some people are saying things about me that just aren’t true,” she said in a sing-song voice. “Even though my team has strongly advised me not to say what I’m going to say, I realized they never said I couldn’t sing about what I want to say.”
Ballinger, 36, went on to explain how she used to message her fans “to be besties with everybody” earlier in her career, but “didn’t understand that maybe there should be some boundaries there.”
As a result, according to the Haters Back Off star, there were “times in the DMs when I would overshare details of my life—which was really weird of me—and I haven’t done that in years because I changed my behavior and took accountability.”
