So Colleen used you, manipulated you, gaslit you, and then threw you away and lied on you. Now they are trying to block anyone who is bringing up the truth, and trying to have them address what is going on. Exactly like what Trisha did to Daniel E Carroll. Seems like birds of a feather do indeed flock together.

I kinda see how she lost sight of this age. I’m older and can forget that I am in a place like discord bc it all just blurs into “chat”, but that said I assume 18+ and if I knew younger I’d be shocked. What is hard to swallow is the manipulation and the leaning on this “fan” for emotional support and information about truly adult situations. It’s incredible how she had no qualms about using these kids as attack dogs. That’s just fucked up. ALL of it is fucked up but the pushing kids to act as your flying monkeys is so far beyond the pale of normal or respectful or remotely ok. I also really object to the dissing of Mama MacIntyre who was busy raising a son with enough nous to move to another country at 19 and smart enough to write colleens jokes. Just no respect for anyone. Also I’ve never watched her but been watching her with Trish and Jesus Mary and holy st Joseph she is the most obnoxious, self indulgent, gabby mare to boot.

My parents did the absolute best they could but after being SA’d, I would actively seek older men because of the trauma. My parents did everything they should have and they were able to save me but a lot of harm was already done due to my continued seeking of people I didn’t realize were predators.

She had NO idea your mother was righg around the corner. I know I would have been panicking at that age being left to my own devices in big, unfamiliar city.

I can't even fathom how any adult woman could do this to a kid... it's truly baffling and so wrong. I don't even know if you realize how abnormal this would sound to another 33 year old woman like you are in no way at fault at all, this lady is an abuser who knew better at that age & it's just maddening.

I can’t fathom the amount of children/fans she did this to, and I’m so glad it’s finally coming out now, but the amount of years she was able to get by with this is concerning and worrisome as a mother who had daughter’s obsessed with her years ago 💔 What a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and it’s sad you can’t trust anyone!

It truly breaks my heart. It’s devastating, it all is and the grooming especially breaks me. Also what shit it must feel to give SOMEONE ELSE everything to get their analytics up, they get it and never credit you actually they ruin you. Hurts.. Anyways thank god Adam’s mom was still on the street. Watching this in 2024 a year later but still know that this story was real true and gutting, and no matter when you watch it your eyes can be opened to the reality, of sick groomers and manipulators. 🤭and to never platform those people!!

I feel like people are giving her a pass because she doesnt fit the idea in our heads of what a predator is. But its so predatory. Its so manipulative. Its so so so inappropriate.

@Mona Lisa Vito control, power, praise, even ideas. he was tweeting for her, giving her content ideas, and even listened to her vent about her marriage as a child who was infatuated with her and was excited just to talk to her. it doesn’t have to be about money or sex, she used her position of power against a vulnerable person for her personal gain. that is grooming.

@@MonaLisaVito Actually It was kind of for money. She coaxed him into working for her for free because she knew he was just a young child that was obsessed with her and would do anything for her. She used him to help her make money/gain and keep a following on social media which is what pays her bills. And on top of that she sent all of those creepy messages to him and the other gc members. He was groomed.

The fact that she has been frantically deleting every comment about herself from the vlogs/podcast, yet has left every comment attacking and belittling Adam up is truly telling. Continuing to use and allow others to attack Adam, while taking zero responsibility for her own actions.

So i was totally coming for you because i thought there was no way colleen ballinger could do anything wrong.....then i watched this video. Wow, i will be unsubscribing from everything from her and will never watch or support her again. I am so incredibly sorry for what she did to you. Its DISGUSTING. Even my 9 & 10 year olds are disgusted and feel so bad for you. Thank you for these videos. Truly an eye opener. ❤

Glad you came around and are now protecting your kids from content they should not have access too, if you thought she wasn't bad by first glance then may I make a suggestion that you sit and watch thoroughly who your kids are following on KZitem and find out what those ppl actually like. She certainly doesn't seem like a child friendly creator, or human to begin with based on just her entire being as an adult and the way she chooses to present herself period the red flags are actually marching around her head. It does pay off to be a strict parent when appropriate and know what exactly your kids are getting access to even if they may find it annoying and put up a fit about it. ❤️ She's def a unique type of predator but she's not the only content creator to watch out for even if they aren't that type of predator, they are influencing period! And you might want to ask yourself why they would be behaving in such certain ways to begin with, none of the reasons as of why are really any good.

@jessicab2507 what the hell are you even talking about?! Did I ever once say in my comment that my kids watch her?? NO! I said my kids feel bad for Adam. You just assumed something that isn't even true! My kids have no idea who she even is. I watch very closely what my kids watch and do but thank you for assuming and trying to teach me how to parent my own children. Have a great day weirdo! 😀

as someone who was also groomed, it forever sickens me that groomers will always claim that their victims are “manipulative”. as an adult now, i can’t imagine saying that a CHILD was manipulative. children admire adults, and it disgusts me that adults take advantage of children this way.

Okay, here’s my conspiracy theory: Colleen gave Adam her password exclusively so that if the tweets didn’t land, she could blame somebody else. It’s incredibly convenient that Adam proposed the tweets, Colleen asked for clarification multiple times, then gave Adam the password and told HIM to do it. Sounds like she was covering for herself so she could take credit if the tweets went well and dodge accountability if they didn’t. 😒
