@@nanettesilva944lmao a stunt??? have you watch ANY of adams videos??? he literally scrolls through THOUSANDS of messages between them that prove his words right.
I don’t know how on earth Colleen got away with all of this for such a long time. It’s absolutely horrifying but I’m glad some noise is finally being made about it.
worry about your own life. the past is brought up constantly with these people to make them look bad. now hailey biebers done with so onto the next right?? more idiotic pointless things have to be brought to the spotlight so people can waste more of their time on social media 💀
I used to have someone who i used y To consider as a friend but i was fed up with her just talking about herself how everyone loves her and how great her life is and if it wasn't going her way it would then be how hard she's having it and how it's not fair.
Guys this is really simple, if this was a 30 years old man doing this to 14 yo girls we wouldnt even have this discussion he would be in jail long before he can touch that ukulele, heck he would be in jail the minute he asks a minor to reach into his pants.
I agree, it's horrifc to see so many defend her just because it didn't reach full 100% sexual grooming. But she groomed either way and that isn't ok. No wonder why men and women are so scared to come out about their SA experiences.
I hate this comparison because no he wouldn't. Actual male child rapists get away with it constantly. I wish ya'll would mobilize this effectively against them, but they're not social media stars so you don't.
Get the point, but as the other commenter said, male abusers like this also get away with it. That's why you have people like James Charles putting out new makeup brands and making "UwU poor me" interviews in opulent mansions, while their victims have to fight to be taken seriously. This arguably is a wealth and power issue before it's a gender issue.
@@user-mv5zt8qd9lIf James Charles was a heterosexual male, he wouldn’t be out there selling make up. People find it easier to vilify those who are deemed to be on top of the social hierarchy over someone who’d be considered marginalised. It is what it is. The times we live in, I guess.
@@mr.meowgi9444 are you straight? because if so that explains your comment perfectly. if not, you seriously have some internalized issues. the notion that a straight man would be vilified more than a man who could get killed simply for existing is ridiculous
I could not imagine talking to a teenager about my s3x life. Don’t get me wrong: I am all about open education about s3x, but you should not be talking about your s3x life with minors. When I was a senior in high school, I was one of several students chosen to talk to some incoming freshmen and answer any questions. One of the guys asked me about the best hookup places on campus, and I straight up told him that he’d have to discuss that with his peers because I didn’t feel comfortable talking about that with someone 4 years younger than I. How did she not think about that when she was in her 30s?
Colleen seems to really struggle with boundaries and impulse control. She’s also very lonely and insecure- this makes her incredibly needy. That’s a lot for a peer to take on, let alone a teenager who cannot relate to anything she’s telling him.
I remember thinking the kid and Cheetos down the pants incident was weird and it made me uncomfortable. Why didn’t people say or do anything back then? That’s what I don’t get about this whole thing. Everyone was laughing back then.
Because I don't think people at the time realized how gross it was. Just like offensive jokes from 2016 for example, it was normal then but as the years go by you realize oh shit that was screwed up for me to do kinda thing. I also think it might be of the mindset "woman cant be predators" if that makes sense.
@mothbutch agree. I don't think it's a coincidence that we're now realising just how much of early-days social media influencer culture was actually pretty abusive and harmful.
@@mothbutch I don't know the full allegations, so I'm not defending her in any way. But if others didn't see what she was doing with the cheetos for example as OTT or inappropriate, then is it not as equally possible that Colleen didn't see it that way either?
@@buzzin-hornet it's possible she didn't realize how fucked up it was but I don't think that matters as it happened and she traumatized a kid doing it. Most adults, especially those In power know not to do anything like that with a minor so I doubt she *didn't* realize it was bad but ofc there's a possibility. But the pattern of behavior says otherwise if that makes sense.
Not the time or place but y’all are glowing. And Adam deserves the world what a sweet and educated person 🩷 As a 20 year old with some heavy trauma I’ve been dealing with for some time, he needs to give himself the utmost love and care. I already know he has patience❤️ he is speaking up for a lot of young people that can’t. And he’s doing wonderfully. Love y’all
The comments insulting/victim-blaming Adam are disgusting. First, Adam posted all of the evidence, chats, and voice messages that just straightforwardly scream "GROOMING" and "CREEP". And the fact that Adam is not even the only one accusing colleen, a lot of people spoke!!! Like do you, as an adult, randomly ask your fan if they're a virgin?? GROSS. Back to the Adam situation, a lot of people said "oH bUt He wEnT AhEaD wItH iT!1!1" HE WAS FOURTEEN! 14 AND DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE HE WAS BEING USED, GROOMED, AND GETTING INVOLVED WITH HER SHITTY DRAMAS. SHE DID A LOT OF SHIT TO HIM. Are y'all dumb? supporting a groomer at all costs, and victim-blaming someone who was getting violated.
Im 20 and I swear I can’t imagine myself talking about sex with anybody unless ofc a boyfriend or something. Like how sick are you to talk abt that with a CHILD🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
That is a huge predator red flag, putting down their relationship..they do that to gain sympathy and let you know they’re unhappy sexually, her pretending that isn’t predatory is so undermining
When I look back at any inappropriate conversations that happened between me as a teenager and an adult only occurred bc I was either trying to be polite, not trying to seem rude or offensive, or I just didn’t want whatever relationship I had with that a person who was hanging out with me ( even thought they were too old to be) to end. I think that sometimes as children being polite is stressed so much that defending ourselves or being taught how to exit an inappropriate interaction gets lost.
Because what she’s doing is illegal and this issue isn’t personal, it’s political. God forbid, this could’ve been us, our children, siblings, etc. But hey, your comment screams “PRIVILEGED” and that’s why you lack so much empathy.
Predators need to be named and publicized. 99.9999% of predators are not able to be rehabilitated and “cured”. But MOST PREDATORS were likely abused themselves and that’s how it all continues. This cycle of abuse. It’s disgusting and it breaks my heart. It’s just becoming more and more prevalent and I don’t understand when will it all come to an end. It’s not fair.
My mother groomed me exactly like this and discussed her childhood trauma, parenting woes (of ME and my siblings), and her marriage with me around the exact same age range (14-16yo). I have secondhand PTSD from the level of trauma dumping she burdened me with and I have disowned her. I knew this was all quite bad, but Adam’s testimony finally gave me a third person perspective on how wrong my mother was. This shit is inexcusable.
You know if the gender roles were swapped Miranda would actually be under so much scrutiny right now? But hey, since it's a guy, most people don't care. This is why sexual harassment/rape of men is often unreported.
@@mothbutch the amount of people supporting her is few and far between. remember when jake paul had rpe allegations against him? he suffered virtually no consequences (despite the victim having proof) and she received an onslaught of hate and harassment
@@strawberryjam7902 If you scroll down a little bit there's a shit ton of defenders, especially on her videos and other videos to the point its disgusting. I absolutely agree with the Jake Paul stuff, it's so nasty and disgusting that we ignored all that. I want to clarify I'm not saying every single time a woman comes out with allegations against a big content creator it always goes in the victims favor because it definitely doesn't do that. I was just trying to clarify there's a shit ton of people who still support her sadly and think it's "not that bad" despite grooming these kids. But I think we can acknowledge boys and girls are not taken seriously with SA allegations alot of the time, especially boys sadly.
@@strawberryjam7902 I believe there's also a stigma of woman not being abusers and men can't be victimized which why there's a shit ton of support for her still imo.
This story was so weird, some details so unbelievable, that it was kind of hard to follow at times. Like the mom asking another couple to take her son for the weekend so he can touch the foster dad's private area...... Whaatt??
yes there’s proof of many instances of course u can’t for everything but the things she’s done is disgusting and horrible she NEEDS to be held accountable
How about before typing a question asking if there’s proof in the comment section, you type into google search “Colleen Ballinger allegations” and find out for yourself. This is a victim that you are insinuating could be lying for money when you could have just looked for yourself weather or not there was truth to what he was saying. Extremely irresponsible narrative to just throw out in such a serious situation. Do better.
Even if he was a fan and “all about it” it doesn’t remove the gravity of the situation. He was a CHILD, of course he’s going to be thrilled that a RU-vid star is chatting with him - his brain wasn’t developed.
. she also gave her used underwear to a minor fan and shes the one who asked if he wanted them, she also made a very young boy stick his hand in her pants for some Cheetos but we all know thats very inappropriate, she also stuck her hand in a young girls pants
Maybe you got the wrong person. The undies weren’t used. She had an impromptu charity livestream where she was giving away clothes straight from the package they were delivered in. Everyone asked to have the clothes donated to charity, but one guy didn’t want the clothes to go to charity.
Adam begged her for them for months, because she wouldn’t send them. They were brand new, ‘too ugly to even give away during a charity event,’ and it was an inside joke between many people. He wore them over his clothes for laughs and took pictures, which he shared with all of his friends. And then he lied and said he never saw them because his mom took them away before he could, and tried to spin it as though Colleen sent them to him, as if her doing that was in any way for her. She said so herself in her video, she just wants to be liked by everyone and she’s a people pleaser. Adam walked all over her for fame because she changed her mind about working with him, and obviously looking at his RU-vid channel, fame and fortune have always been his motivations. When he’s making 10k a video about Colleen, it’s gross but no surprise he’s beating a dead horse. And that Cheetos joke was innocent, and it being too much for some people is probably why she soon removed the bit from her shows. And again it sounds worse than it was, she had one of those mega sized cheese puff ball containers in the front of her pants. They weren’t fishing for gold
I mean, this person isn’t so clean. His parents needed accountability too for letting their kid go rampart on the internet. It’s done and dealt with but the this person constantly posts videos about Colleen with click bait titles. Clout chasing and capitalising off it all.
Maybe he keeps posting about it cause he is frustrated that he never got justice for what was done to him as a child, she never apologized publicly instead mocked him by playing her ukulele, she never faced consequences for her actions.
Because a false narrative was spun last time that just furthered the abuse he was suffering. Bloke deserves to have the _true_ true story come to light
@@user-mv5zt8qd9l Adam scripted, recorded, edited, and uploaded his own video. He devoted 3 whole days on editing. It’s not like anyone spun his words. People only responded to the narrative he presented.
In the last 3 years, Adam consistently produced at least one video on Colleen every month. He had no intention of stopping until he elicited the desired reaction. He even adapted his allegations to align with whatever updates would happen in the Ballinger vlogs. He recently had a wave of new subscribers who are unfamiliar with his usual content. So, it’s the same old thing as always, just newly repackaged. Colleen will be cancelled again in another 3 years as if it hadn’t happened before. I think that’s why she responded with the ukulele. The mob doesn’t genuinely want an explanation or an apology. They simply want blood & entertainment. There’s an entire community devoted to this nonsense where people are kept up-to-date on the next target to rally against.
@@ommeloise6309 She asked him for pictures of his ass. She invited him to Dublin, a city he didn't know, when he was 15, and then didn't meet up with him because he was too slow, leaving him to fend for himself. She talked about her husband's penis size with a chat full of minors. She made an underage fan lie down on stage and spread her legs for the audience. Trent admitted to being told by the family not to message minors, so they all knew what he was doing. She accused a fan of lying about their chronic illness to get close to her. The Colleen shitstorm is massive. There are so many screenshots, there are so many video clips and audio clips, there are so many people completely unrelated to the first victims to come forward who have shared their stories. To pretend you believe she's innocent of everything is just willfully ignorant at this point.
i was also,she once private chat me she said:hEyY dO yOu wEaR bRaS?? i found it soo weird!i told my parents and mother message her saying:why u talking to my daughter,paedophile
idk she makes a good point. when someone is this deep into something that you dont like, it doesnt feel good to them to say its bad. just say its not for you and let it lie. but it is on the other person to not keep pushing the thing on to you and if she cant stop then... hey maybe he was pushed into saying taylor swift sucks lol
This is so shocking. I mean. With the ellen thing i understand. People can be rude sometimes and most of the time they dont realizes it until someone reported it. But colleen ? Im still a fan. I still watch her videos she makes really good content. But to believe if she would do something like this its shocking.
So, if this happens with a mom & aunt being in Colleen's role & a teen being in Adam's place... 😬 What do ya'll think? I need responses to this situation. Thnx.
I'm sorry but this kid played both sides of the fence. Anything for views and likes.. even at the expense of someone's livelihood. I can't believe there are that many people blindly falling for this crap.
As a guy if I talked to kids like that, I'd be in jail, BUT if I put on a dress and say I'm a woman, I could get away with 10x worse things. Also why are we hearing about this now? It seems like this kid wants to be an influencer or is enjoying the attention they are getting now. Just watch the conversation, this isn't how a victim behaves, dude is getting a kick out of tearing her down. Toxic gossip train is on point (but the majority of yall will never see it)
I dont get this world anymore.. i dont know what is wrong with an adult being friendly towards someone who is underage.. i srsly dont. "Grooming?" Wtf grooming? Are we dogs? I get the fact that you dont speak about "adult" themes around kids... But sorry.. almost every teenager outhere, exposed to the internet, knows more about adult themes than adults. Plus if you see the age when ppl lose their v card- its at the very young age and its... Not ok.. So i am against ppl talking shit and giving bad influence/advice to anyone- not just minors.. but another thing.. you guys think its not ok for some adult being friends with a teenager.. but you support a kid getting different gender at age 12 (or lower!!!)? And that is consider being normal... Wait what? Everyone made bad decisions when we were teens. Its part of growing up.. but its not a grownup thing to do for you to go exposing everything to the internet- to ppl you dont know!, make hate duin it and talk about yourself being the only victim. You made a mistake! You trusted the wrong person at the wrong time! Didnt we all at at least one point in our lives? Stop seeking fame! Move on!!
No you’re completely wrong. She did this to multiple children even had a group chat. Colleen was pretty famous. When Adam tried to call out her bull shut the first time. She pulled out a PR apology and her fans gave horrible backlash. This is on the internet because kids need to understand that someone you could admire doesn’t always have the best interest. Also I could understand 15 and maybe a 19 year old being friends but 29 and 14 is wild.
@@howyoudoing5497 Blaming everything on one person is just insane. Didnt his parents know about they being friends? Isnt their job to protect their child? And like ive said. One thing is being friendly towards someone- doesent matter the age! Plus what teenager dont want to be friends with celebritie? Name one! Ofc she had a platform and her fans. Is she suppost to be rude towards them? I get that sharing your problems to a teenager is not the smartest idea - in every form or way. She was oversharing her personal life and now she is being dragged like a criminal. Kids admire (and trust!) a lot of ppl - their parents, neighbours, doctors, policemen,... And how many times are those the ppl who hurt them the most? And now with all the bs on the internet? Kids are glued to tiktok and similar platforms. Is that safe for them? If Adam would rly want to save kids from bein "groomed" he would be duing just that. Without playing the victim nonstop. There are other ways without spreading the hate - thats the point. The world is f-ed up enough.
@@tasier3063 he is a victim though. He was 14, ofc a kid would be happy to talk to a celebrity. His parents did the best they could, how would they know this was happening? They didn’t know shit until Colleen sent LINGERIE to his house. Yes we will blame Colleen for it all because she was 29 while inappropriately talking to other 14 and younger kids. She even made a whole ass group chat.
@@howyoudoing5497 everyonee is a victim of something/someone. And blaming others is the easiest thing anyone can do i guess.. no sorry- if parents knew, they should have done something.. like parents overall. But they dont , cuz they know sh*t thats happening in teenagers life; now whos fault is that? Worst things are happening than a pair of underpants. Drugs, abuse, nsfw anything, bullying,... and nowadays bc of social media everything is getting worse. Im just saying that if you want to help others there are better ways than to spread hate among everyone. Is this truly the best option? Involving strangers into some drama that has nothing to do with them? I dont think so.
@@rubenvillalobos333 u don't know anything. don't speak on something u know nothing about. there's countless proof of her being a pedophile and a groomer. it's so weird to victim blame and try to defend her. have you not seen any of the videos or screenshots? she's so gross.
Adam has regularly made videos on the Ballingers for the past 3 years. He approximately uploaded at least one video every month. He would adapt his allegations to align with whatever current events were happening within the Ballingersphere. For example, Colleen joined Trisha Paytas for a new podcast and Miranda Singa Live was about to restart touring, so Adam was due to start making the rounds again. The more people talk about it, the more Adam has to say about it.
because colleen told ppl he was a liar and a troll pretty much just out to get her. everyone believed bc of her all nice and sweet mask she puts on. ppl just glanced over it.
@@jellyfishsquawk But most people didn’t even know who Colleen was. She’s not a household name. She only talked to a handful of fans, which is just a drop in the bucket. Adam’s reputation comes from his tea channel where he routinely lies. He was banned from Twitter for bullying a 12 year old child and issuing death threats. Only he can clean up his own reputation, but that will take time in order to display any improvement.
This is so dumb may it have been a little weird she was your friend of course she’s gonna vent. I think a lot of this was taken out of context. Colleen is just not this monster yall are painting her out to be
There is literally proof of her being a groomer if having sexual conversations with kids, having a 9 year old put his hand in her pant for a 'snack', having a kid act out giving birth, making a kid spread out her legs is not monster like then I don't know what is
Used him for ideas? You mean, when she gave a complete amateur a chance to try writing comedy? She did him a favor. That wasn't "using"...she was giving him a rare opportunity. And, he screwed it up, writing a comedy bit so bad, she ended up apologizing for it. As it turned out, Adam had no talent for comedy writing. What's more, he has not talent for anything- he is going on 22 years old and still doesn't have a job. He actually made a ton of money from scamming Colleen. He is disgusting.
@@CraiginOhioUSA giving a teen access to your work without supervision is the most unprofessional thing she could ever done. All Adam did was try to help her. And he does have a job, being a content creator takes a lot of research, editing, writing etc…
@@Anahi-yg8lt It certainly was not unprofessional of Colleen to help intern young people. She could have well afforded professionals, but instead, she helped fans get experience. Sadly, Adam abused the opportunity. No, Adam has not a shred of talent. His videos are nothing more than his spontaneous comments, nasty gossip, and scam-oriented trouble making. He uses no "talent", making these. He is simply operating his mouth, and wants money for doing so. A disgusting man, any way you look at him.
From my understanding she manipulated them too and he lied to his parents about the gravity of the situation as most grooming victims tend to do. By the end of it he finally admitted everything and the mom blew up at her via Instagram and told her to never contact her son again which after that Colleen manipulated her fans to harass the poor kid.
Sadly, parents can be groomers, too. How many parents use their contacts & their connections to local media to help launch their 9 year old child’s RU-vid career? Who monitors their 9 year old child’s channel and encourages them to create content that involves provoking popular RU-vidrs and eliciting reactions? Who continuously registers their underage child for social media accounts every time he’s banned for poor behavior and bullying? Talking to adult strangers online was normalized & rewarded. Wearing female clothing was normalized & encouraged. After Adam first revealed these allegations 3 years ago, he had KodeeRants as a guest speaker on his channel to teach his underage fans that they can pick their gender. His mother allowed her adult son to have these discussions with underage fans in her own home. Woke people seem to always turn a blind eye when a 2SLGBTIA+ adult wants to talk about sex & sexuality to kids. Before that, she allowed her 17 year old son to be befriended by a 25 year old reporter who went on to ply an underage Adam with alcohol. These are all shady practices, especially for someone who claims to be against grooming. Listen to what Adam says about family vlog channels. Classic case of projection.
Part of grooming is convincing the parents that the abuser is a safe and trustworthy person. Parents aren't magically omniscient of everyone their child interacts with.

@@jacquelinemorgan9160 are you saying that if a child gets violated by a pedophile it’s their fault because they didn’t leave? they looked up to colleen and were just kids who didn’t think they would be harmed by her. also kinda hard to speak up on social media as a kid especially against someone with such a big following? also adam DID try to speak up years ago and no one believed him. and don’t you think if the screenshots weren’t real colleen would have clearly stated that? she literally admitted to have “inappropriate” interactions with fans as a grown woman. also on top of all of that she also made fun of trisha paytas OF photos and lied about it. i don’t get how you could possibly defend her but i guess crappy people support crappy people.
