The Dangers of Miranda Sings

I've never been a huge fan of Miranda Sings (Colleen Ballenger). I always felt strange when I tried to watch any of her videos, and I didn't know why.

I didn't seem to understand what the big deal was with her. I knew some of my friends watched her. But I found her weird, so I stayed away. I needed to understand how and why she was famous. She didn't seem funny to me, and I always felt uncomfortable. When I watched anything that involved her. I didn't quite understand her hype and

Over the last few weeks. Miranda's creator and actor Colleen Ballenger has been exposed by many of her former fans who were mistreated and exposed to sexual content from Colleen as minors. Adam McIntyre was the first to come out against Colleen in 2020. He released a video titled Colleen, Stop Lying. He mentioned how Colleen was making up all sorts of stories that were not true. Adam wanted her to apologize for such behavior. Colleen responded to that original video. (it wasn't a great apology) and eventually, that issue was resolved.

Adam had a parasocial relationship with Colleen as a minor as he was involved in a minor group chat with Colleen, known as the weenies. A few weeks ago, Adam released a video explaining everything involving Colleen, including but not limited to Asking inappropriate questions regarding Adam's body and sending him linguae. (When Adam was only thirteen). Colleen also temporarily employed Adam for her social media for little to no pay, and he was someone for Colleen to confide in while dealing with divorce. Adam initially didn't realize all these problems because he thought he was Colleen's friend. When the divorce happened, it was the night before Adam's fourteenth birthday. He stayed up until four in the morning, "Comforting Colleen."

Colleen went to a fan instead of an adult friend or a therapist for her very grown-up problem, which is disgusting. No person should tell a child their problems. Kids and adults cannot comprehend things like this. It is not a child's responsibility in any capacity to help an adult deal with their problems.

Other fans, such as a girl named Becky, who attended one of Colleen's shows where Colleen acted as Miranda, called Becky up on stage and made her get into an open leg position where Miranda (Colleen) played a fart sound and ran away. Colleen has many moments in her live performances and YouTube videos, just like Miranda. Where there's talk of sexual references, Racism, Ableism, etc. Colleen even said that, at one point, her Miranda character was based on her disabled cousin. Part of Miranda's character involves her uncle, whom Colleen refers to as a "P" word. She also created "The Daddy saddle." Which was used so she (Miranda) would ride on her Uncle's back. (see how many sexual references are used throughout all of this?)

Colleen has not properly apologized for any of this highly inappropriate behavior. She believes all this is not her fault and thinks Adam and other former fans made up all of this. There is much evidence and clout when there is not just from Adam but many other fans who have experienced Colleen's gross behavior firsthand.

Another fan, Kodee Tyler, initially sided with Adam about this whole situation, but then Colleen contacted Kodee and made her believe that Adam lied about everything. This isn't true because screenshots and video evidence prove all of this. Colleen has uploaded a ten-minute ukelele song, Apology. But it's not an apology at all. She accuses the fans of making this all up and tries to make light of a disgusting situation through song. No one apologized to them, and the video is over eight minutes long, which means she can still get money from that video. Colleen is saying all this is fake, and we all need to get off the "Toxic, Gossip Train." As she refers to it in her little song.

This video is now part of a long list of terrible YouTuber apologies.

Colleen has also been a terrible person to work with regarding her Netflix series. Haters Back Off! She wanted to include a ton of sexual content in that show; then there already was, according to April Korto Qouih. Who was the Writer's Assistant, Showrunner's Assistant/PA on the show? There wasn't enough lighting when someone of color tried to audition, so Colleen decided to blurt out. "Where is he? I can't see him?" she wanted the show to take place in Washington state and didn't want many people of color involved in her show as she believed it was too distracting. Colleen has been problematic for years despite everyone knowing she was. No one was brave enough to come forward until now.

Colleen has shown that she is a narcissist and a person who should not be in the spotlight. She has three children and doesn't love her twins as much as she loves her firstborn son, and that's evident when she refers to Finley as a sweet little boy and the twins as brats or twins. She also puts her young kids on the internet, and her siblings post their kid's lives on the internet, too.

Colleen's dad is also into some very disgusting things. (You can find it in his public YouTube profile) This shows us that it's not just Colleen. It's her whole family, too.

Youtubers are an essential part of kids' lives from a young age and make people famous for either right or wrong reasons.

Colleen is an example of what happens when other people stop staying silent about what happened to them that was terrifying or traumatizing.

If you are a parent, please monitor what your kids see and do on the internet. They could be exposed to something terrible that no child should ever see or be exposed to.

To vloggers: Please don't share your kids' private lives on the internet. Let them be kids.

To the victims, I hope you know that we are here for you and see you. You are not alone and didn't deserve what Colleen did to you. It is not your fault.
