As you no doubt know, there has been a trend recently of performers getting pelted with objects while on stage over the past few weeks. Last month, Bebe Rexha was hit in the eye with a cell phone and got a massive shiner during her show in New York City. The person who threw the device was arrested and admitted he thought it “would be funny.” There’s absolutely nothing funny about throwing an item at someone and injuring them. Then, someone stormed the stage and slapped Ava Max during a show. Kelsea Ballerini was also hit in the eye with a bracelet. Awful. Sadly, so many others have joined the list of celebs getting objects hurled at them during a concert! And now, Harry Styles is the latest victim of this terrible trend.

During his concert in Vienna on Saturday night, the 29-year-old singer was walking across the stage in between songs when suddenly an unknown object hit him directly in his left eye. Ouch! Videos captured by fans of the incident showed Harry visibly in pain, as he winced, covered his face with his hands, and doubled over. However, the As It Was artist seemed to push through it and continued to walk off-stage. You can see the moment (below):

Ugh. Stop throwing things on stage! It’s super dangerous, and no artist deserves to be treated this way. And we’re not the only ones sick of this trend!

Following the incident with Harry, people have taken to social media to say enough is enough already with throwing objects at celebrities on stage. And many pointed out that if this trend continues, they fear the way everyone gets to experience concerts will change or phones will be banned moving forward. See the reactions (below):

“Why do people keep doing this, paying money for front row just to do this too. I’m tired of y’all.”

“This object throwing culture is about to kill how we experience concerts & festivals moving forward. They’re about to get more expensive and more exclusive.”

“I genuinely don’t understand like I get throwing stuff on the stage where they’ll see it but they always aim for the face like why???”

“The fact that this seems like a ‘trend’ now is infuriating. Y’all are gunna take away live music from the people who actually care about the performers well being.”

“people need to stop throwing things and respect artists, like it’s getting tiring”

“this is happening so often they are eventually going to ban you from taking anything inside or ban concerts in general”

“I had my recording on when something hit harry today in the eyes. This is disgusting and disrespectful, i really hope he‘s ok #LoveOnTourVienna #HSLOT #vienna #harrystyles

“y’all not going to be f**king with Harry styles now…y’all losing your damn minds!!! WTH is the world coming to where entertainers being assaulted….trying to entertain people….you buy tickets to assault stars? Like is this a new era of crazy……!!!! People are really losing there minds. Stars are going to stop doing concerts because people are really CRAZY out here!”

As we said before, this needs to stop already. Reactions to the latest incident, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.

Just like his ex-girlfriend, the Gravity hitmaker is sending a message to Swifties. On Thursday, he took to Instagram to show off some cool snapshots of his Boulder, Colorado shows with his band Dead & Company — but amid the carousel some eagle-eyed fans spotted what appears to be a not-so-subtle plea for mercy.

On the very night of the Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) release, John posted a photo of drones spelling out “please be kind” above his band’s stage on the sixth slide. On top of that, the caption read:

“It doesn’t get better than three nights at Folsom Field in Boulder with @deadandcompany. Oh wait no yes it does… it gets way better when Dave Matthews (@davematthewsband) shows up and for four songs makes everyone believe they’re dreaming. The afterglow is still shining bright…”

Ch-ch-check out the post (below):

Obviously it’s a universal message that applies at all times… but the timing was too much for Swifties to ignore!

The 45-year-old’s comments were quickly flooded with T-Swizzle fans who gave their opinion on the photo, writing:

“YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID WITH THAT CAPTION. “idk how it gets better than this” AND “afterglow” LIKE WHAT?!”

“mother said not to be mean…mother aint here right now.”

“funny your cover is purple. you’re shunned from that color, speak never john.”

“Bye bye johnny. It‘s July 7. Its over.”

“dont you think she was too young to be messed with?”

“now go stand in the corner and think about what you did.”

One fan seemed to try and warn him about the impending Swifties, posting:

“Run John, they’re coming”

LOLz!!

Dear John (Taylor’s Version) is officially out now! So, Perezcious readers, do you think he’s …Ready For It?

The post John Mayer Shares Not-So-Cryptic Post As <i>Speak Now (Taylor's Version)</i> Drops! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

On Friday, the pop star released the highly anticipated re-recording of her third album, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). Alongside six new “Vault” tracks, there was also somethin’ new about one of the album’s most infamous songs, Better Than Revenge. As we told you in our exclusive sneak peek yesterday, it got a whole makeover. To recap, here’s how it breaks down.

In the track, which originally dropped in 2010, Taylor used to sing:

“She’s an actress, whoa / but she’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress, whoa”

Oof! The song was rumored to be about the Taylor’s ex Joe Jonas and actress Camilla Belle, who starred in the Jonas Brothers‘ music video for Lovebug. It was viewed as harsh even at the time, and ever since it’s been largely criticized as “slut-shaming”.

Taylor even seemed to admit her regret years later when she told The Guardian in 2014:

“I was 18 when I wrote that. That’s the age you are when you think someone can actually take your boyfriend. Then you grow up and realize no one can take someone from you if they don’t want to leave.”

So much maturity in just a few years! Now, cut to the year 2023 and she’s finally done something about it. In the new version of the rock song, T-Swift now belts:

“He was a moth to the flame / she was holding the matches.”

Wow!

A VERY different vibe, no?! And now you can listen and see what YOU think of the change here:

Whattaya think, Swifties??

While the Grammy winner hasn’t addressed the lyric change yet, her fans have had LOTS to say about it! And frankly, feelings are mixed. While some are happy about it, others aren’t into the whole “special edition” rewriting of history thing! Take a look:

“We just have to bully her into releasing Better Than Revenge (Taylor’s Version) (Slut Shaming Version) like she did with lana and snow on the beach”

“Better Than Revenge has the same lyrics if you just scream over her”

“ITS SM BETTER IM SO PROUD OF HER FOR CHANGING IT”

“scooter won this round”

“and it still eats so idrc”

So remember the song called Gangnam Style by PSY that became a massive hit in 2012? Well, Colleen, dressed as her character Miranda Sings, made a music video on YouTube for the song in 2013 – and it is just roughly two minutes of blatant racism. No joke. It’s really, really bad.

Wow…

No words. The fact that not only did Colleen think it was OK to make this blatantly racist video, but she still has it up ten years later… Our jaws are on the floor.

As we mentioned before, this is just the latest racism allegation and offensive video to resurface amid her scandal. She has been at the center of controversy, as former fans have accused her of grooming, encouraging bullying, and discussing sexual topics with minors. Colleen also has been accused of being racist on the set of her Netflix show Haters Back Off. There’s also a video circulating of her performing in what appears to be blackface. After everything that’s come out, there’s definitely no performing another ukulele number to get her out of this mess.

The post Colleen Ballinger Called Out After Video Resurfaces Of Her Mocking <i>Gangnam Style</i>! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Colleen Ballinger is clapping back! On Thursday, the internet personality’s legal reps denied claims she was dressed “in blackface” during a resurfaced performance of Single Ladies in a statement to Variety. In the viral video, it appeared she had dark-colored paint on her face – and she did, per her legal team at the law firm Berk Brettler, but it wasn’t what it seemed.

They claim just before belting Single Ladies in 2009, Colleen took the stage with Oliver Tompsett to sing As Long As You’re Mine from Wicked. In honor of the musical, she painted her face green like Elphaba. She kept this same paint on as she immediately transitioned into performing Beyoncé’s song, which she always ended her shows with at the time because it was one of her most popular bits. To prove all of this, they even released an extended recording of the controversial show — which now includes the Wicked performance. You can see it HERE.

__________

How’s Colleen Ballinger gonna sing this trouble away…

Amid allegations of racism and grooming young fans, the Miranda Sings star on YouTube is now coming under fire for seemingly wearing blackface in a resurfaced video. In a new clip circulating online, the comedian can be seen performing Beyoncé‘s hit Single Ladies with two others on stage. They all wear black bodysuits, but it’s just Colleen whose face is painted black.

The original video was actually posted on Miranda Sings’ official YT page in February 2018. It is only viewable thanks to a link released in her book, My Diarrhe, which may be why it didn’t generate a ton of backlash until now. It appears she gave the inappropriate AF performance during one of her comedy shows at the time.

And here’s the full thing if you’re interested:

Just… wow.

This is never a good look, but it is made even more problematic knowing the string of other gross and disturbing allegations levied against the star in recent weeks. If you’ve been following this scandal, you’ll know this all began when a former fan, Adam McIntyre, called Colleen out for allegedly grooming young viewers, encouraging bullying, and asking minors about their sex lives, among other things. The 36-year-old clapped back by releasing a 10-minute video in which she addressed the claims via a cringe-worthy and tone-deaf ukulele song — no apology in sight!

Her former friend and collaborator, Trisha Paytas, then publicly blasted her while revealing Colleen used to share explicit photos of her with fans and hold viewing parties to mock her body. And this happened somewhat recently as she noted the influencer was “well into their 30s who just gave birth.” JFC. Also, April Korto Quioh, a former assistant to the writers and showrunner for Haters Back Off, the content creator’s two-season show with Netflix, spoke out. In a scathing blog post titled You Owe Me An Apology, April slammed the internet personality for alleged racism and inappropriate behavior on set.

For example, the assistant claimed Colleen allegedly insisted the show have limited background actors of color since the series took place in Washington and she thought it’d be “distracting” to have them around. She also demanded an Asian food market be “re-dressed as a bodega for the show and watched her disgust as she demanded assurance that all the ‘Asian s**t’ would be removed before filming.” WTF.

When addressing why all the leads of the show were white, April noted:

“I sat patiently as the Powers That Be expressed concern that the entire main cast for the show was white and silently prayed that since someone with some actual say had spoken up, things might change. And I took note, yet again, as Colleen assured them that they had only casted the best person for each role and that it wasn’t her fault that all of those people ended up being white.”

It gets worse, too. April included alleged screenshots of texts she sent a friend about the aforementioned audition process. In them, April recalls Colleen allegedly yelling out “Where is he” — “implying he is so dark skinned he disappeared.” She continued:

“I recall overhearing her once brag that a creator was being ‘cancelled’ for saying the n-word (and if you think she went with ‘n-word’ instead of hitting that hard ‘r’ then you haven’t been paying attention) and that she would never be stupid enough to get caught doing something like that.”

And now she’s seen performing in what appears to be blackface. Yikes. She better not address this with a freaking ukulele remix because these very serious accusations deserve an equally serious response! Reactions, Perezcious readers?

The post Video Of Colleen Ballinger Performing In Blackface Surfaces Amid Racism & Grooming Scandal! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

On Saturday, the 24-year-old singer performed at Lollapalooza in Stockholm, Sweden, and had been in the middle of his song Down Souf Hoes when suddenly someone from the crowd tried to throw an item at him on stage. What was it? Well, it turns out the object was a sex toy. Specifically, one that mimicked a vagina. When Lil Nas X saw the toy, he picked it up before jokingly asking:

“Who threw they p***y onstage?”

Thankfully, this incident didn’t result in any injuries. He seemed to move out of the way just in time before the sex toy could hit him. You can ch-ch-check out the moment (below):

As we mentioned before, other celebrities weren’t as lucky as Lil Nas X when it comes to fans’ strange behavior of trying to throw something on stage. Last month, Bebe Rexha had a cell phone chucked at her face during a show in New York City, resulting in a nasty black eye. She had to be taken to the hospital, and the attacker was arrested and charged with assault. His excuse for the incident? He thought it “would be funny.” Seriously?! Not cool.

Later, Ava Max was slapped by a fan onstage. Pink was given the weirdest gifts, everything from a wheel of cheese to a fan’s late mother’s ashes. And in another incident, Kelsea Ballerini had to pause her concert in Boise, Idaho, last week after she was struck in the eye with a friendship bracelet. She addressed the incident, saying:

“Hi. I’m fine. Someone threw a bracelet, it hit me in the eye, and it more so just scared me than hurt me. We all have triggers and layers of fears way deeper than what is shown, and that’s why I walked offstage to calm down and make sure myself, band and crew, and the crowd all felt safe to continue. That’s all I ever want, is for shows to feel like a safe place for us all.”

Obviously, the latest incident with Lil Nas X turned out to be a fine. He even seemed to laugh it off. But in all seriousness, some fans are getting out of hand, crossing some major boundaries with performers, and even harming them. And it’s enough already. Reactions, Perezcious readers?

Someone who used to be Colleen Ballinger’s inner circle is speaking out about those grooming allegations.

As we’ve been reporting, the 36-year-old content creator AKA Miranda Sings has been accused of grooming fans, maintaining exploitative relationships with her viewers, encouraging bullying, and talking about sexual subjects with minors. And now, her ex-husband Joshua David Evans is weighing in on the controversy!

On the same day Colleen dropped her insensitive ukulele song video denying the claims, the 39-year-old – who was married to her from 2015 to 2016 after seven years of dating – took to Twitter last week to offer support to the former fans who came forward. He wrote:

“Anyone feeling hurt & gaslit right now, my message to you is this: Your experiences were real. The proof is there. Your trauma should be taken seriously. The proof is there. Your anger is justified. The proof is there. You deserve better. Take your power back. Sending you love.”

Related: Colleen Loses Sponsorships After More Allegations Emerged!

Whoa! Joshua even claimed that Colleen never took him seriously whenever he brought up how inappropriate behavior would be:

“This behavior was my reality anytime I spoke up & disagreed with her actions & rhetoric during 2009-2016. I was gaslit too. I was made to feel like I was always the problem. Any pain I felt was an inconvenience and was belittled. Every ounce of what you’re feeling, I understand.”

Before anyone thinks he’s trying to use this controversy as a stepping stone to relaunch his career on YouTube, think again. Joshua insisted he has “no desire to use this as a catalyst for a YouTube comeback,” adding:

“It’s not a safe place for me. I’m past that. My voice is only here to help validate those that are hurting, nothing more. I have no need to make any money off of this. That is gross & not in my heart, whatsoever.”

But that’s not all he said. Joshua then followed up these tweets with another message to fans:

“In the midst of chaos and pain, remember to protect the goodness within yourself. Choose healthy ways of coping. Choose humility over winning. Choose the version of you that you can be proud of. You don’t have to be perfect to do the right thing.”

At this time, Colleen hasn’t reacted to her former hubby’s tweets. But more allegations have emerged since his remarks — this time about her behind-the-scenes behavior on the set of her Netflix show Haters Back Off. Former writers and showrunner assistant April Korto Quioh accused Colleen in a blog post on Friday of making racist comments, pushing for incest and rape jokes on her show, and other inappropriate behavior. So awful.

Things aren’t looking good for Colleen right now. Reactions to the latest in the controversy? Let us know in the comments below.

More accusations have come out about Colleen Ballinger’s inappropriate behavior.

For those who don’t know, the 36-year-old YouTube creator is best known for portraying Miranda Sings. After gaining success on social media, she took her character to Netflix to star in a series called Haters Back Off. It ran for two seasons starting in 2016. And lately, Colleen has been at the center of controversy after people have come forward with allegations of grooming, talking about sexual topics with young fans, and encouraging bullying.

And now, a former assistant to the writers and showrunner for Haters Back Off named April Korto Quioh has come forward about her behavior on set – and there are some disgusting and concerning details. You can see what she had to say about her time working with Colleen (below):

Related: Colleen Loses Sponsorships After MORE Inappropriate Interactions With Young Fans Emerge

First Impression

On Friday, April dropped a post on her blog called You Owe Me An Apology, where she recalled her time on set with Colleen. She shared that she was hired as a “Writers’ Assistant/Showrunner’s Assistant/Writers’ PA” for Haters Back Off, and the show was her “first real job in Hollywood.”

When she was hired, April did not know anything about Miranda Sings, so she took it upon herself to look up some videos the night before her first day on set. And let’s just say, she was shocked by what she found:

“I clicked on her YouTube channel and watched video after video in pure confusion. Isn’t this supposed to be for kids? She was dressed like Bozo the Clown but she kept making odd jokes about being, well, molested, and in one clip, I saw her on stage, encouraging what appeared to be a small child to literally reach into her pants and rummage around a bit. I texted my friends, hoping one of them could explain her appeal to me because clearly I was missing something.”

And her opinion of Colleen only worsened when they met for the first time:

“Upon meeting Colleen, my first impression of her was that she was boisterous, opinionated, and had a stunning lack of humility that was unlike anything I had ever seen. Immediately upon entering the writers’ room, I was treated to story after story about her sold out shows, how obsessed her fans were with her and the lengths they would go to get her attention.”

That sounds like a bragger! Elsewhere in the piece, April also noted how Colleen often allegedly made “biting comments” about those on set and often had a “lack of boundaries” with everyone, including her:

“She had a knack for making ‘funny,’ biting comments about the people around her and since we all had her to thank for our jobs, we were forced to just go with it. She saw no issue with commenting on my hair, or my clothes, or asking about my personal life. Her lack of boundaries was remarkable.”

But that’s only half of what April had to witness on set…

Incest & Rape jokes

When it came time to pitch stories for the show, April claimed Colleen often wanted to include references to incest. She allegedly pitched plotlines about Miranda and her uncle’s “special relationship,” where they “would be caught in compromising positions or stomach-churning moments of intimacy.” WTF?! As April said in the post:

“She often pitched stories in which Miranda and Uncle Jim would be caught in compromising positions or stomach-churning moments of intimacy that could always be easily explained away by a clueless Miranda. It was my responsibility to write down every single one of these pitches, schedule calls to look at mockups of The Daddy Saddle [a prop that Miranda would use to ride on her uncle’s back] that would be featured on the show, and mark points in the script where Colleen thought we could make Uncle Jim even more ‘r***y.’”

Again… What the actual f**k? Mind you, this show was meant for her fans – many of whom were minors! Her suggestions for her Miranda and uncle’s character made April “so, so uncomfortable.” However, she was still tasked with helping Colleen as the content creator tried “shoving as much incestual innuendo into the show as possible while assuaging the growing behind-the-scenes concerns that the show would be alienating to the intended audience (which was, again, kids.) April continued:

“It all felt deeply wrong – she would show us photos of the packed rows of smiling children who had attended her show the night before, and in the same breath, spend hours trying to think of a way to show Miranda and Uncle Jim all but having actual sex on screen.”

OMG…

Racism

According to April, she not only had to type “‘jokes’ into the script that to a vulnerable child, could easily make it nearly impossible to identify inappropriate adult behavior in their own lives,” but she also had to deal with a ton of racism on set. Awful.

She recalled one instance where she sat in on a production meeting to take notes about Colleen allegedly insisting that the show have limited background actors of color as the show took place in Washington – and the influencer also thought it would be “distracting” to have them on set. That is just so beyond messed up. And there are unfortunately more instances of her racist comments. April went on to say that Colleen then had an Asian food market be “re-dressed as a bodega for the show and watched her disgust as she demanded assurance that all the ‘Asian s**t’ would be removed before filming.”

When it came time to address why all of the actors in the show were white, April said:

“I sat patiently as the Powers That Be expressed concern that the entire main cast for the show was white and silently prayed that since someone with some actual say had spoken up, things might change. And I took note, yet again, as Colleen assured them that they had only casted the best person for each role and that it wasn’t her fault that all of those people ended up being white.”

In the blog post, April included screenshots of text messages she sent to a friend about the audition process. She told her pal that the lighting on the tape “wasn’t great” and Colleen allegedly yelled out “Where is he” – “implying he is so dark skinned he disappeared.” And that’s not all. She then remembered a time when she allegedly caught Colleen saying the N-word:

“I recall overhearing her once brag that a creator was being ‘cancelled’ for saying the n-word (and if you think she went with ‘n-word’ instead of hitting that hard ‘r’ then you haven’t been paying attention) and that she would never be stupid enough to get caught doing something like that.”

Colleen Ballinger was allegedly caught saying the N-word and making racist remarks about black people while working on her show, ‘Haters Back Off!’

— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) July 2, 2023

Just vile. April — who was also the only Black person in the office — also mentioned how she often felt Colleen “took a weird pleasure in making me uncomfortable and knowing that even if I wanted to, there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.” For instance, she alleged that Colleen “gave me the ‘honor'” of creating a villain character named after her and would “often pitch something vile and then look over to me and ask, “Any thoughts, April?”

No one should have to experience these type of despicable things on set. At this time, Colleen has not addressed the accusations about her behind-the-scenes behavior on set. If she does, here’s hoping she actually takes it seriously and doesn’t perform a 10-minute ukulele response video… again. Reactions to the situation, Perezcious readers?

Yikes! ANOTHER musician has been injured while performing on stage!

In the latest string of artists getting attacked by fans in the audience, Kelsea Ballerini was forced to stop her show in Boise, Idaho, on Wednesday night when she was struck in the face with a flying object.

In a video of the moment, the country artist can be seen singing her hit If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too) and playing guitar when she appears to be hit near the eye. Many believe it may have been some kind of bracelet that struck her. Kelsea quickly turned her back to the audience and her band members came to her assistance, but the injury was bad enough she had to walk off stage for a few minutes!

Thankfully, it doesn’t appear as if she was severely injured since she was able to continue the show after a brief break. Still, this is so concerning! See the scary moment (below)!

Guys. I know we all mean well. We all want to show Kelsea love the best way we know how, and shower her with all the gifts. But throwing things on stage where artists are already so vulnerable is NOT the move. If you can’t hand it to her, there are so many other options. Lord,… pic.twitter.com/oIgy2JDn3V

A fan account on Twitter pleaded with others to stop throwing things at performers, writing about the incident:

“Guys. I know we all mean well. We all want to show Kelsea love the best way we know how, and shower her with all the gifts. But throwing things on stage where artists are already so vulnerable is NOT the move. If you can’t hand it to her, there are so many other options. Lord, give it to us! We will make sure it gets to her. But PLEASE don’t put her in danger like this. Again, I know you all mean well, but this is becoming a safety issue. We love you guys. We do. But please make it stop.”

They added later in the night:

“What we know at this point is that she is back on stage and okay. But please know that if you do this, you’re the reason why we can’t have caps on our water bottles.”

We’re glad she’s okay!

Kelsea is just the latest artist to be hurt while performing. Earlier this month, Bebe Rexha was performing in NYC when she was struck in the face by a cell phone! She had to be rushed to the hospital and the alleged attacker, who thought it “would be funny” to throw the phone, was arrested and charged with assault.

Then just days later fellow pop star Ava Max was slapped by a rogue fan who rushed her stage! WTF!

Pink has also been receiving unexpected gifts on stage, including a bag of a fan’s late mother’s ashes which was tossed to her. Fortunately, there were no injuries in this case, but it just goes to show that concertgoers are really starting to encroach on musicians’ already vulnerable spaces. We hope fans will calm down and stop throwing things! Thoughts? Let us know (below).

The post Again?! Kelsea Ballerini Pauses Concert After Fan Hit Her In The Face With Object! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

As we’ve been following, the popular YouTube star, also known as Miranda Sings, has come under fire the last few weeks amid allegations she behaved inappropriately with her young fans. Several former admirers, including Adam McIntyre, now 20, has alleged she asked them about their sex lives in group chats, including if they were virgins and what their “fav position” was, among other things.

Adam actually first spoke out against the content creator in 2020. The backlash led to Colleen releasing an apology video in which she denied being a “groomer” or a “monster,” but she did admit to sending the viewer (who was 13 at the time!) unused lingerie “as a joke” during a live stream giveaway. But McIntyre felt most people took the celeb’s side at the time — until he came with allllll the receipts earlier this month. And now the backlash has caused several sponsors to part ways with Colleen as more and more disturbing content resurfaces and other fans speak out about alleged creepy interactions with the creative!

Considering the seriousness of these allegations, you’d think the 36-year-old would have a mature response, right? Wrong! She was apparently done with apologies and instead performed a 10-minute original song clapping back at her haters and their latest claims.

Wait, what?!

We’re not kidding. On Wednesday evening, Colleen released a video titled “hi.” in which she sat on her couch with a ukulele and addressed the controversy. It’s her first video since this all began, too. She started by explaining her social media absence, singing:

“Hey, it’s been a while since you saw my face. I haven’t been doing so great, so I took a little break. A lot of people are saying some things about me that aren’t quite true. Doesn’t matter if it’s true, though… Just as long as it’s entertaining to you, right? Are you guys having fun?”

She then revealed her “team” had “strongly advised” her not to “say what I want to say” amid the scandal — but she didn’t listen… and made it worse! She said with a smile:

“I recently realized they never said I couldn’t sing what I want to say.”

In the chorus, she called out the “toxic gossip train,” belting:

“All aboard the toxic gossip train. Chatter down the tracks of misinformation. The toxic gossip train, you got a one way ticket to manipulation station. Toxic gossip train. Tie me to the tracks and harass me for my past, cause rumors look like facts, if you don’t mind the gaps. I won’t survive in the crash, but hey. At least you’re having fun.”

Jeez. Is she really going to gaslight the people who made very serious allegations against her?! By the way, we should mention, one of those allegations was that Colleen encouraged her fans to gossip about and bully each other online. Sooo, is she really the one to be bashing the “toxic gossip train”?

As for the claims she was inappropriate with fans, well, she compared herself to a “weird aunt” at a family function and declared she messaged her fans “not in a creepy way like a lot of you are trying to suggest” but “more of a loser kind of way, where I was just trying to be besties with everybody.” She explained:

“I’ve been sharing my life online for over 15 years. I’ve poured my heart out to you, and because of that, I feel like I’m talking to my friends. But in the beginning of my career, I didn’t really understand that maybe there should be some boundaries there.”

Without ever actually apologizing for anything, Colleen insisted she had changed her behavior over the last few years and taken accountability, “but that’s not very interesting, is it?”

She then mourned her reputation and speculated that those who believe the current allegations might one day “realize that the train is made of lies, and the person you despise maybe didn’t deserve to die.” Elsewhere, she challenged her supposedly perfect fanbase to criticize her:

“Bring out the daggers made from your perfect past and stab me repeatedly in my bony little back.”

The comedian also blasted her accusers for allegedly making up their allegations “for clout.” Oh, and what about those accusations she groomed kids?! She argued:

“The only thing I’ve ever groomed is my two persian cats.”

WOW. The Haters Back Off star went on to blame her alleged victims’ families for anything she’s done that was deemed inappropriate, noting:

“I also wanted to take a minute to talk about that girl, Miranda Sings. She’s PG-13. It says that on my website and it’s always been that way and that’s why you won’t find my videos on the YouTube Kids app anyway. I didn’t realize it was my responsibility to decide what was appropriate for every kid to see. I’ve always relied on parents to decide if they’re comfortable with their families watching my YouTube videos or coming to my live shows.”

As for the time she took a young girl on stage during a comedy show, spread her legs open, and had a fart noise blare from the speakers — in a bit that traumatized the child, mind you — she joked:

“I’m not a predator even though a lot of you think so because 5 years ago I made a fart joke.”

Yup, so she’s not taking accountability for ANYTHING! And there’s not an apology in sight… This is all just the tip of the iceberg, too. This girl really released a 10-minute diss track about it! You can hear it all (below):

What in the world…

You just know her team is s**tting themselves somewhere right now! How could she possibly think this was an appropriate response?!? Especially for someone whose been an internet personality for over a decade, she should have known this was going to royally backfire!

Just as Colleen predicted in the sarcastic song, fans are already fed up with the fact she’s making light of the ordeal, writing on Twitter:

“this ain’t All Too Well 10 minute version girl, you groomed kids”

“‘The only thing i’ve ever groomed is my two persian cats’ as a response to grooming allegations is insanity”

“i am in AWE of the fact that when colleen ballinger went silent for a month after the (proven) grooming allegations resurfaced, everyone was like ‘be careful [victim], silence means she’s lawyering up!’ when in reality she spent that time writing a 10 minute ukelele diss track”

“colleen ballinger comparing herself to ‘that one aunt’ who makes everyone feel uncomfortable… like.. so you agree… you agree that you made everyone feel uncomfortable…”

“I CANT! The pauses, the faces, the ukulele. TEN MINUTES.”

everyone: hey, could you take some accountability for past behaviour and acknowledge why people are upset?

Adam, one of the most vocal former fans speaking out against Colleen, also addressed the wild video, writing:

“as much as colleen discredited & made fun of me, im glad her video did ONE thing, show you all EXACTLY the type of evil woman she is, that a lot of us have experienced over the past few years behind the scenes, the mask has slipped…everyone meet the REAL colleen ballinger.”

He added:

“she did this to me in 2020, i can deal with this again but i just can’t believe how truly evil this woman is, i’m so upset”

It really is a shocking response… Thoughts? Let us know (below).
