Summary

Is Colleen Ballinger digging a hole she won’t be able to climb out of? The YouTube sensation, who shot to fame with her Miranda Sings character, is now facing a different kind of music. A former fan has posted two videos accusing her of inappropriate behavior with him when he was a minor. So Colleen responded like we all do: by playing the ukulele and singing an explanation in a 10-minute video. Of course, this only made it worse. This is a “toxic, gossip train” we can’t wait to get off of.
