Colleen Ballinger's Apology Is Weirder Than We Thought... 

I think she's afraid at this point of actually being charged with a crime. If she puts anything self incriminating out there, it could help to build a case.

It’s so wild because I coach middle schoolers and I’m legally mandated to report these behaviors. Colleen is 12 years older than me and I literally can’t imagine hanging out with children and leaning on them for emotional support, like what does this say about her mental state?

Kirk is just EXTREMELY unbiased. Y’all forget he’s an actual practicing professional and his RU-vid videos will reflect on his work. He’s just literally giving his 2 cents. He can’t just straight up say “f Colleen that P**do” like… he’s professionally saying she’s wrong.

She's really just apologizing to fans, not the victims

I’d love to see Ethan bring back Content Court. There’s so many bad channels and people he needs to cover. Reply who should be sentenced to the CC. I’ll start with who I think should be covered: Nerdrotic and Geeks + Gamers.

Not to be a prude, but it’s overall weird to talk about your undergarments on livestream when your audience is mostly kids or if your brand isn’t about clothes.

Sorry to say but why does everyone keep calling the toxic gossip train video an apology. It was never an apology. Heck she never even said it was an apology or even title it an apology. It was more of an im mad at the world and those accusing me so I'm going to attack them too. So can we all stop calling it an apology already.

Please have Dr. Kirk Honda on the show! A lot of us have been watching him for years and he's helped so many. He deserves so much more recognition.

It seems Kirk doesn’t know about her sending Trisha popcorn to minors.

Why was the comments shut off on the new video

Have the psychology in Seattle guy on! I love him sooooo much and you guys can talk about big Ed together!! He covers it all he knows ALL THE LORE

I love how the whole episode got derailed by trying to educate Ethan on who Kirk is.

Would love to know what this therapist thinks about Colleen’s therapist telling her to vlog to help her cope. When vlogging is what caused all this drama. So… go back to doing what kicked you down in the first place?

Glad to know Psych in Seattle is getting much deserved notice. Been a listener of the podcast for about a decade now

I thought I’d be a h3h3 fan forever but here we are. Blocking comments on the leftovers ending announcement is such a wuss move. L egotop bozo

25:20 I think “requesting forgiveness” is meant to be like, giving the power of decision making to the other person rather than being like “ope, I apologize, so we’re good now!”

Holy shit Ethan, You are doing amazing with the weight loss. It makes it seem like these things are possible for myself. Haven't stopped by in a minute and you are doing really well. Good to see.

This is such a weird cross over of my two favorite channels. 😂😂

🚩He's so right! What Colleen did was expose them to not having s#xual boundaries with strangers, ADULTS, and could have lead kids to putting themselves in potentially difficult situations they can't get out of! 😭 Because their GROWN UP ADULT idle talked se#ual to them so then they would think it's NORMAL for all adults to be s#xual with them! 🤯😭😡😡 Kids 💔

Part of her apology feels like regurgitation of what people were saying about her original apology. “I should have handled the situation with maturity and empathy” “I let my ego take over” “I was just mad”

In order for an apology to be sincere the person first must admit guilt. Which she hasn't and won't. Therefor until she admits she did something wrong no apology from her or anyone else is ever going to be sincere.

Love and Ethan accidentally synchronized “mmh hmm” has me so dead 😭 32:40

Colleen didn't just commit literal crimes, commend her child grooming brother's actions by NOT saying anything, defame her ex-husband with allegation's of extremely abusive behavior whom she actually cheated on...etc. etc....but she's a bully. She is a bully. She is a mean girl. She's insecure & therefor gossips in hurtful ways towards others, including literal children. She bullies adults, cast, crew, fans, family & her relationships EVEN WHEN they are no longer present in her life. She still cares that Josh spoke up, and she's clearly trying to get some passive revenge yet again. I don't hear enough people talk about this. Her accusations are wild, and there's tons of proof & screenshots & videos & voice memos to prove all of it. We can all agree she is as bad as everyone is claiming she is, BUT no one is mentioning that while Colleen hurt a lot of children, which is terrible, she is this way towards EVERYONE she comes across, including me & you & the entire internet by posting these "apology" videos that lack an actual apology to the actual people she actually really really hurt. She can only apologize to the people who still support her because she is a coward, and she still thinks she is in the right, and she's a narcissist but what RU-vidr isn't...

OLIVIA WITH THE GLASSES!!!!!

20:41 from his psychology perspective this is like (a kid sees their parents on the couch watching an adult film on tv - it’s an oops moment. Or a kid going to a home computer/laptop and seeing a random tab which is a bit too adult for them. Again accidental exposure.) (or a kid witnessing their own parent nude say if they’re parents take off their clothes and walk nude/semi unclothed through the house - that’s a choice by the parents who may be doing something else- had a stain/took a shower/was hot inside the house so they took off a shirt- it’s a moment of exposure but it happened because of an activity or accident. Someone splitting their pants is an accident and also exposure and it’s understood 9/10 times and unintentional. ) All of which expose the kids to nudity and to adult bodies ::: this is not intentional sexualization of the children or adults to interact… and not for the purpose of exposing children to adults bodies/adult content - it’s daily life as a human being which includes nude bodies - and this kind of exposes a kid because kids are still learning. So it can influence ‘oh this is normals/socially acceptable/standard/what adults do/what people do.’ -> but it’s not done with the intention of say grooming a child or intention to manipulate a child or intention to sexualized the child. (It’s also key to not with psychology how wealth does influence stuff like this: People with little water may share a bath or shower it’s weird but for really little kids who can drown alone sometimes this is a necessity to both keep kids alive and keep kids clean- we also know that it’s not designed to be sexualized it’s bathing and something every human has to do- we also know from legal experiences that some individuals can/will sexually assault family members and ‘bath time’ when they are isolated and alone is a frequent moment where sexual misconduct can take place. // this is similar to locker rooms - getting changed is a standard thing all humans will have to do and do so in shared semi-public spaces - there’s still ways to be appropriate and inappropriate and ways to be average with getting changed vs perverted. And also how certain individuals in locker rooms will use the isolation/remote location to do things/actions that are inappropriate -locker room talk/locker room attitude and behavior and how there’s normal ‘just joking around’ and ‘extreme violence’ ) -- There’s other parents who are thinking sex ed - teaching kids/having kids learn or be mature- involves showing adult content to understand or doing something explicit as a way to teach or tease. So say a parent being overly sexual of their own body ‘saying their hot look at their xxx’ to make fun of their child for being in a child body. Or adults showing kids explicit things say movies/tv/film/books/photos/straight up pornography. (There’s a lot of really shitty parents who were raised in the 40-80s and to today - that probably thought ‘hey they’re learning to be adult/what a kiss is or a boy/girlfriend/they’re wanking - time for the ‘you’re an adult convo’ which can go so so so bad so fast. And with the internet a lot of parents thought it was normal to be like ‘see this ad don’t click it it’s porn’ or ‘this is an adult website don’t ever use them’ or ‘this is an adult website which won’t give the computer a virus if you use anything - that.’ There’s billions of people on the planet there’s a ton of horror stories and ‘I can’t believe my parent thought that was a good idea/normal/straight up abuse’

Kinda weird for yal to turn off comments on the Leftovers highlight clip - so I'll post my comment here instead. Rip, a great podcast - but mental health is important too. Just wish you both weren't so stubborn. Half the time, it was like yal listened to the other person to simply respond back/argue and were often going in circles. Early episodes were solid. But at any rate, was glad for the time yal gave us during the pandemic. Yal helped a lot during those years. I'll miss it.

She didn’t say she was inappropriate with her fans. She said some of her comedy was inappropriate. Totally different.

shout out to Ethan for standing with Gaza

As someone who does crisis management when it does happen, the reality is that you also don't want your client to admit to anything because admission would mean potential jail time. And we don't want our clients to go to jail. :))

I’d actually love a TRUE analysis on this dr, but I feel like yall would get lynched or something, 😅everyone always acts like dr Hondas word is gospel and I think he often misses the point because he’s always trying to be positive even with the worst types of people, that he misses the parts that are truly malicious , I sometimes wonder if he does it to be professional or he just doesn’t see it ? . I often feel like I’m watching a different clip than he is 😅. I had to stop watching his analysis of “90 day fiance” problematic characters because it was honestly Frustrating af to me. He also often misses important context like the edited part of Colleen’s “apology” , where she edits out asking Adam about the lingerie. It’s like he is kinda naive imo

I’m a regular watcher of Dr Honda and I will now have to resist the urge to call him Doctor Commander Kirk. Thanks, Ethan. 🤣

She basically was like, sorry bout that anyway here’s my life

Wow, I've been watching psychology in Seattle for a couple years now and he's so humble and down to earth... did not know he had so many credentials!

Stop eating on the mic Ethan!

It’s hard to accept an apology from her at all when you know she didn’t actually reach out to any of the people her actions hurt. She posted that clip at the beginning of a vlog, like it didn’t even deserve its own video. She’s a mom now, you would think she would have some actual empathy for not only Adam and Becky and Oliver, but also their parents! Imagine a content creator did or allowed half of what she allowed to any of her children, she would be so upset. To be clear I’m not in any way saying I want that to happen to them, but I’m saying she should put herself in the perspective of not only the people she hurt but their parents too, I mean, all of their parents trusted Colleen to a certain extent, and she broke that trust. Apology not accepted Colleen, until you can apologize to the actual people and families that you hurt and actually say what you did wrong.

Colleen is just as insincere as she was before and no one should fully believe her words, moreso her actions MORE THAN EVER. And what really pisses me off is she's using her motherly duties as an escape goat to really be sorry for her actions. Those babies didn't do anything. They don't deserve that.

How many more vidoes you gonna make on this topic

32:05 I think he is referring to the gen z trend of diagnosing yourself as a psychopath.

Okay is he just going to blow past where she says “I was inappropriate with some of my comedy” no where in that video does she say “inappropriate with my fans” ????????

Ngl Olivia looks hard asf in this episode

Wow! As a long time Dr Honda fan and a long time h3 fan, I am losing my s*** and I'm like 5 seconds into this video

ok thats hilarious i freaking love psychology in seattle

I have been waiting so long for Ethan to discover Kirk

i know they’re joking but he’s only saying blablabla bc he’s talked about apologizing a lot 😭

hire me I’m a graphic designer

Imo there is no point in public apologies because its about the person receiving the apology, but you need to hear the person to know where you hurt them before you can learn and apologise. Just meet the people you hurt then acknowledge your conversation and attempt for growth to the wider public later.

What a random place to find Dr Kirk Honda mentioned

honestly guys, title every highlight video by the number, no specifics... ex: Highlight #856 or highlight #1238.. THAT WAY haters will have to click around and run up the views trying to find the part where you offend them...

Speaking of star trek, I personally think strange new world's and lower decks are the best new star treks. Discovery sucks.

When he says “hard to know” it’s frustrating cuz it’s only hard to know if you have no context about Colleen and her actions over the years. When most people goof like this, their fans straighten them out and they apologize and do the work. Kirk, enabled by his subscribers doubles down, refuses to do the work but insists on continuing these reactions. There’s way too much info out there to be this ignorant about Colleen. Some level of skepticism would really elevate his videos. This insistence on “everyone is well-intentioned” is fucked.

What did she even do I’m so behind

What did ethan have to apologize about

People just don’t get the validity of what Colleen did. Like if my 14 yr old son was sent lingerie by a 30 yr old RU-vidr, we’d have a problem. And the context doesn’t matter.

The apology at thr beginning of her vlog was her attempt at an apology. Observe did an excellent look at her body language in the recent Colleen apology and I agree with what he saw. She wasn't sincere and was not apologizing to anyone but those who still follow her. The way she did it was how an adult apologizes to a child. Real vague because kids domet care about details. I'm top of she turned it into a I'm a victim just raising my kids. Which by the way if truly sorry she would actually apologize to the actual victims, take the stupid train video down, take some accountability for her actions. And last wouldn't be putting her kids back online because instead of now exploiting young fans she's exploiting her own kids. Its sad and sick. RU-vid and other platforms that you can profit on should stop allowing people to use kids for profit period. Stop monetizing family vloggers especially with young kids who have no say in it. Older kids it depends on the kid but still not a good idea.

you reacted to Dr Honda! Love him.

The internet is a funny place. I am reacting to Ethan, reacting to Ben, reacting to Colleen.

olivia looks like yassified judge dredd in those glasses its a gr8 look

ethan kinda looks like fester addams but in the most endearing way

Olivia needs to take him down the rabbit hole

Some would even say he's the Peabodiest

I absolutely love Doctor Honda, and I am sure he is beyond happy!

Man, I haven’t been on RU-vid as much and Ethan is looking great!

Dr.Kirk Honda is wonderful! That would be so cool if you had him on the show.The crossover we didn’t know we needed!

IF A GIY WERE TO DO EXACTLY WHAT SHE DID THERE WOULDNT BE NO DISCUSSION ABT IT, LIKE IT BE SO WRONG TREAT FEMALES WITH THE SAME REGARD, ITS CREEPY AND WEIRD

I'd pay good money to see Dan schtick it to Zach

What is the Chestnut Sting incident that Ethan referring to?

This is what I mean Ethan literally knows nothing like why make a Star Trek reference when you literally don’t know lol

My dad made pron (misspelled one purpose.) I was super exposed to sex very young and I’m so messed up. 💀💀

frasier reference we love to see it

Doctor Kirk Honda?

Okay I love Olivia’s glasses 😂 so cute

20:30 well uhmmm... let's just say that I know some parents who weirdly enough watch game of thrones with their 9 year old daughter but apparently the dad skips/fast forwards on the sex scenes (which i have no idea what that even means, like doesn't she catch glimpse of them anyway)

Omg I LOVE @psychologyinseattle ! I can’t believe H3 mentioned him 😮😮😮😮

Ethan you are so awesome.😎

So this woman is weird but you are okay having an outspoken transphobe on even though you claim this show is a supportive LGBTQ safe space?

Omg i loveeee dr honda he is the best!!! Have him on the show!!!

Love Psychology in Seattle ❤️

Watching a person, watching a person, watching another stinky person

Kirk is the best

Ethan doesn't know who captain kirk is? *unsubscribe*

My two favorite channels! 🎉

Bro you’re skipping over his analysis lol

lookin trim and fogel thin, big papa!

Of course she is covering her ass with a PR and Lawyer!!! That is why she is not admitting to any fault, legalities!

He gave a good hypothetical apology... y'all are hating asses lol

Ethan munching that sandwich 🤣🤣

woah ethan is SO skinny

Definitely Dans schtick

Olivia the terminator

Yes! I love PIS!!

I can see why Redbar hates this guy.

I love how quick you are to hop on a hate train that’s not headed towards YOU.

Your obsession with Colleen Ballinger "is weirder than we thought."

Please don't be like Hasan and eat on camera.

Who exposes children to Pornography? How about someone who's name rhymes with Bichael Backson? Just for example

Love the fact that Ethan’s Tourettes have gotten so much worse over the years.

Why are all the OG RU-vidrs turning into creeps… first Shane… now Colleen… and then they try to make a comeback as if nothing ever happened…

is ethan ok ?

Idea for a new Thursday show!!! Ethan cries cuz Israel can't get away with genocide, Zach fondles his balls, and Hila sits there like a fucking bored statue for 2 hours... Way better than Leftovers ever was! So genius! H3 is only getting better!

I think he’s wrong. She didn’t say she was immature and inappropriate with her “fans”, she said she was immature and inappropriate with her “humor”. They’re not the same thing, and she’s guilty of BOTH. She wasn’t merely thoughtless in her interactions with her fans, she was immature and inappropriate with them, offstage, privately. And she never quite acknowledges that. It’s so frustrating. She is still downplaying what she actually did and the fact she facilitated her brother’s access to minors knowing he’s been highly inappropriate with even one of them.
