Colleen Ballinger’s former fans have made allegations of inappropriate behaviour against the influential YouTuber, with one person accusing the internet celebrity of grooming them.
Public allegations against Ballinger – who created the popular sketch character Miranda Sings – date back to April 2020 when Adam McIntyre released a video titled “colleen ballinger, stop lying”.
In the video, McIntyre, now 22, claimed Ballinger developed an imbalanced, unhealthy friendship with him when he was as young as 13.
McIntyre reportedly first met Ballinger in 2014 at a tour stop in Dublin during a “very professional” interaction.
Two years later, they spoke directly during one of Ballinger’s livestreams in 2016, when one of his comments made McIntyre known to the star. During the livestream, Ballinger reportedly promised she would send some of her “ugly” and unused clothes to a few of her fans.
McIntyre received a set of her underwear shortly after, he said, during his 25-minute YouTube video posted over three years ago.
McIntyre had also claimed he was part of “Colleeny’s Weenies”, a small Twitter group chat with some of her other fans. In a subsequent video posted earlier this month, McIntyre shared screenshots from the private chat, in which Ballinger allegedly asked him what his “favourite position” was.
In 2016, McIntyre reportedly wrote in the chat that his “a** looks good”, to which Ballinger allegedly replied: “Pics Adam”.
Ballinger previously admitted sending McIntyre a bra and underpants in a 2020 apology video. “I don’t know what part of my brain was missing at the time,” she said. “But I am not a monster, I am not a groomer, and I shouldn’t kill myself.”
People accepted Ballinger’s apology at the time, with some turning on McIntyre who was reportedly “called slurs, threatened and doxxed by Ballinger’s fans”.
Allegations against Ballinger resurfaced earlier this month, after another ex-fan, KodeeRants, corroborated McIntyre’s claims about the “Colleeny’s Weenies” private chat in a since-deleted video.
