Colleen Ballinger the you tube creator whose awkward character Mranda sings rose to internet fame, has publicly responded to responded to accusations that she formed inappropriate relationship with teenagers.
Ballinger posted a video Wednesday to her colleen Flogs channel on you tube in which she denied the “lies” and “ gossip” about her - partly in song, while strumming a ukulele.
“some people are saying things about me that just aren’t true,” she said at the beginning of the 10-minute video. She continude,”Even though my team has strongly advised me not to say what I’m going to say, I realized they never said couldn’t sing about what I want to say.”
In case you missed it ... Colleen's been accused of grooming a teenage boy, who grew up to be YouTube star Adam McIntyre. She broke her silence Wednesday with her singing video.
Colleen says her team strongly advised her not to say what she wants to say, but she says that doesn't mean she can't sing about her reaction ... so here we are.
In the song, Colleen puts it bluntly, "The only thing I've ever groomed is my two Persian cats."
Ballinger began her video by alleging that “some people are saying things about me that just aren’t true” and that “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.”
The content creator then jumped into her tune, explaining that she used to message her fans “to be besties with everybody” but “didn’t understand that maybe there should be some boundaries there.” She added that had no plans to “take the route” of saying she is “100 percent in the wrong” and to do so would be “admitting to lies and rumors that you made up for clout.”
Ballinger acknowledged making “jokes in poor taste” and “dumb mistakes” but adds in her video, “Was it my intention to manipulate? No.”
“For what it’s worth, I never had any bad intentions,” she continued. “But I do feel like shit.”
McIntyre responded to the video in a tweet, writing, “As much as Colleen discredited and made fun of me, I’m 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.”
