update: colleen is currently on stage in denver, where she is performing a show as miranda sings being ‘cancelled’ and is selling merchandise with the words ‘cancelled’ on it. allegedly ushers have told fans not to record or take pictures (source alliethegiraff1 & itsjordangood on twitter) it seems incredibly upsetting that the amount of people who’s spoke up on twitter/tiktok/instagram/youtube in the past week and a half about colleen ballinger & her family and how they use their power and they’re choosing to not comment & instead block and delete every person & comment that mentions it. truly irritating. going live again tomorrow: my twitch: www.twitch.tv/theadammcintyre

[@cynthiaisako]

HONESTLY !!!!!

[@Oliviaandtrina]

It's BIZARRE. She talks about her full grown adult self as if she was soooo young and didn't know better, but talks about a literal child as if "he should know better". It's so weird for a 30+ year old woman to try and blame this on a kid, and the fact she even thought it was a defense shows how twisted her perception is. Bredators will often say that the child "came on to me" because in their mind that justifies it. That's literally EXACTLY what she is doing. Thinking that even IF Adam asked for the underwear, or he made the relationship inappropriate that justified her continuing it that way is just so twisted. It is ALWAYS the responsibility of an adults to keep the relationship appropriate, not the child's. Her belief that she can blame it on a child is sick.

[@familyheirloomtomato]

I don’t agree with Colleen at all and the language she used is very manipulative. I’d never do or say what she has done, BUT I find it funny how young people think people 20-30 are grown adults. As a 31 year old I can say I was hella dumb in my 20s and still now make ridiculous embarrassing mistakes (none like this tho). You talk to a 50+ year old and they call us kids because they know we’re still dumb. Our frontal lobe isn’t even fully formed until 21, and our brain still keeps growing and changing until late 30s. HOWEVER she still can’t use that as an argument or excuse because she clearly has a lot more going on which is evident through adams videos seeing the way she talks to her fans and uses manipulative language.

[@Ray-ys9ks]

it could seem like hes milking the topic but when he said that he didnt care about seeming obsessed that idea just faded completely for me. he has EVERY right to unapologetically speak out, as much as he wants. this mustve been hella traumatic.

[@ErikaCartet]

being told things like “you’re coming across as obsessed/you’re just milking this for attention” or “it was X years in the past, she apologized, why are you still being it up now” are reasons why victims are so reluctant to come forward and publicly talk about how they were taken advantage of. we NEED people who relentlessly speak up and insist there be consequences for people like colleen or else things get swept under the rug and the same exploitation and abuse continues to happen. continuing to speak up holds their feet to the fire and also serves as an example for current minors who look up to content creators (or like, anyone in a position of power over them in their life) to recognize this dynamic and give them the tools to understand this is wrong, set boundaries, and protect themselves from being taken advantage of.

[@michibmoon]

@@ErikaCartet YES! It's so much harder to speak up as a child rather than as an adult. I can attest to this as I was SA'd when I was 8. I have so much more respect for Adam being unapologetically honest and open about his awful experiences with this grown woman who used to be his idol.

She brainwashes her child audience. Everyone knows children are vulnerable and the most susceptible to manipulation. They absorb information like a sponge and will trust any adult they like, no matter what they say/do/believe. Children don't have the mental capacity to think for themselves. It's ingrained in their survival skills to attach themselves to adults such as their parents, grandparents, mentors, etc. We've all been there.

The thing that makes me so angry is that she KNOWS it was wrong. The fact she said in the stream that your parents will think she's weird and stop you talking to her shows she knew. The fact she was telling you at 14 not to tell your parents she's talking to you.. wrong, wrong, WRONG. It's on camera that knew she's wrong. It wasn't a mistake. No matter what she comes out with now, she's already admitted she knew what she was doing is wrong. The other thing I will never understand is why people even go to those ridiculous school camp talent show "performances". She shows in vlogs she organises props and things at the very last second without thought with literal rubbish she finds around the house. How would anyone want to want spend money on someone that is clearly laughing all the way to the bank with your money with zero thought or effort?

Babe, I hope you're taking care of yourself and your mental health. I can't imagine what you're going through with all of this being so public. Please be kind and patient to yourself, THIS WAS NOT YOUR FAULT. 💚

[@manthingmoder]

9:31 love that he was sure she'd make another well-received apology and manage to turn people against him again only for her to drop toxic gossip train 💀

[@ColleenD78]

Can't believe parents took their kids to her show tonight 😢😢😢😮😮😮

[@Pintsizeamy]

A few minutes in and I’m taken aback at how angry she is coming across in her “apology” videos

[@avagrace7873]

The fact that she says that she is respecting your privacy by not saying your name however she shows it on screen multiple times

[@princeastral2983]

I'm honestly living for Adam reclaiming his voice and taking this into his own hands

[@sammymaldonado8598]

Yesssss i was just about to binge watch your videos, hope youre taking care of yourself babes

[@chelsea8468]

I've watched this twice now and I still can't get over what someone said in your chat - "she's only apologizing for the things she was labeled for, not the things she did" AND THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES

[@e.anaiswhit6749]

I cannot believe such a sick woman was such a comfort for me just a few years ago. I had originally stopped watching because i no longer believed in family vloggers, but i still thought she was great. I can't believe i didn't see the signs. Then again, i was also like 16 back then.

[@maria-qn1vo]

Everything about Colleen gives "me,me,me,me" vibes though. Everyone around her seem to live and die for the queen Colleen, it's so bizarre!

[@whiteparachute]

Bro the way she tried to 'contextualize' the underwear is literally the same argument pedophiles have used....she was literally saying "but he wanted it, he was begging, i just couldnt turn him down." Like jesus h christ, i know it was literally a lie but even if it wasnt, how could that 'argument' make it ANY better. This woman has always given me the creeps - it sucks to be right.

[@melissaphoebe7558]

As a 28 yr old I don't usually engage with ur content - but you have my full support since 2020 and I'm sending you so much love and strength in this hard time. Keep your head up Adam, you got this. You will win this fight. ❤

[@maddyg782]

I’ve been watching you forever and have always supported you but have never been here early enough to feel like I should comment but I just want to say I’m beyond proud of you for being so brave through alll of these years and for being a voice for people now , I love you and your content and how you and your mental and physical health are doing well ❤️

[@mackenzierose9254]

Before 20 i cringe at the things I’ve done. After 20 you really see the sense of self of who you’re going to be, especially with women and their frontal lobe. Coming from someone who was groomed, and thought this was completely normal. I applaud you for figuring this out so young, thank you for bringing this to light, I really hope this educates younger kids that see this.

[@keeneyeaven5216]

Adam. I discovered you recently and love your content. I cannot fathom what you have been through. Keep telling your truth!

[@maiafowler4038]

“Anyone have any siblings under the age of 18? They probably wrote it for her” had me dead af 💀 in all seriousness I can’t believe this

[@kellithomas1952]

Emotional abuse, psychological ( mental) abuse, financial abuse too. Borderline sexual something not quite abuse but completely f**ked up. That's only a small part of what that manipulative narcissistic abuser did to you.

[@shadowgirl8125]

Here is the thing. Even if you did want the panties Even if you did ask for the panties. You were the child. It was her job as the adult to know better. And to Say no to sending it. And To not send it out adam you were the child.

[@k_singsss_1556]

boost🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ even tho she lied in a snake-like way to victim-blame…either way…. no blame for the CHILD

[@Fannywikstrom95]

You are so mature and brave for doing this publically at 20, let alone 17?! I’m so sorry this happened to you. She is so manipulative, she was probably never gonna hire you and just keep using you for your ideas. BUT, she probably never planned for you or anyone in that community to speak up. She’s done now, and you’re coming out on top!

[@Fannywikstrom95]

also, didn’t she say to you that “I’ve never done this before so I’m not sure how to go about things” when she talked about an internship but now she admitted to hiring fans for all sorts of stuff?? she gets lost in her own lies tbh

[@ginparadise]

Visst är hon SJUK i huvudet!? Helt stört att hon har gjort så här mot Adam!

[@msccamberr]

“‘No matter how much he asked.” I screamed.

[@lesabri]

She is actually a sicko and will never stop. A wicked manipulative person, wow. I'm so sorry for what you are going through, Adam. Keep your family informed and it's ok to seek out a support that is outside of all of this to help your state of mind. This woman is a serious mind fucker because she plays with pain. Stay safe ❤️❤️

[@hayleyblackwood4723]

The way she sounds in the apology video sounds like she’s reading a script

[@trollkid4680]

We are NOT going to let her walk away with this for the second freaking time. We love you Adam ❤

[@jayleeshaner3699]

Omg watching this for the first time rn and seeing you speculate about how she would address it this time is CRAAAAAAAZZZYYYYY now that she has “addressed” it

[@tofutofutofu444]

this is a hard watch but SUCH an important one. seeing your pain and frustration as you listen to her lying and manipulating you and the audience :( you are an absolute gem and we are all so proud of you for not giving up on your story. it’s not over, we are here for you and we will make sure she gets what she deserves for this

[@QuarterMoonRachel]

Yea even in her manipulated version of the underwear story she comes across terribly. No 30 year old should even remotely be thinking that lingerie is an appropriate thing to send to a 14 year old. That's not something that can be forgiven as a "silly immature mistake by a young person".

[@OReily08080]

Fr, It's devastating how her and her friends downplay it by calling it that

[@Felsiekearney]

The sad truth Adam was she had fame privileges. She was popular on Netflix, so unfortunately she had Stans much like yourself to do the dirty manipulation. I am truly glad this has come full circle to show who she truly is. Let’s hope the world will SEE what she did to a child, and take the opportunity to do what should have been done 3 years ago! ❤

[@tsundear]

adam I'm loving the earrings on you, you look amazing with them! loving the style upgrade

[@jans1710]

Being a 3rd lengthy video about colleen it would seem a bit "obsessed" but I will say that it's not. GASLIGHTING. EMOTIONAL TRAUMA. You were so innocent and genuine not knowing you were dealing with a wolf in sheep's clothing. A dangerous person who fooled a lot of people. And hung you out to dry. Beyond triggering for me. I tear up as you share and relive the past trauma explaining everything you went through. All the pain. It's a lot. Like the wax museum story for one. You deserve to talk about this as much as you want for the next 3 years as far as I'm concerned. She can't ignore this forever although she's trying. I can't imagine what she would or could even say. Hope the level of outrage stays high as to demand some accountability for your sake Adam.

[@Emma.H06]

I think it’s insane to call you “obsessed” because you are speaking up (AGAIN) now that you have external validation for the grooming you experienced. So many people never get the opportunity to have their trauma validated by others, and having that opportunity is so meaningful. Make all of the videos you need. Speak your truth, THE truth about what you have been through, ESPECIALLY now that people are actually listening.

[@bmay711]

I am so sorry for all the trauma you had to endure as a child due to adults. I am glad you're still fighting& defending yourself.

[@soph4689]

Having a group chat with children and asking their advice about adult problems is absolutely fucked up. As a parent, I would be SO uncomfortable and step in for sure. Colleen not understanding your mother feeling that way is wild because like????? Hello???? She wasn’t wrapping her around it at all because she DIDNT CARE.

[@gingerw7284]

I am so happy you're bringing this monster to light. Thank you Adam.

[@AndyyBee]

Kory explicitly telling you to post a pic of you in the underwear 🤢 The authorities need to go through his messages. Adam is definitely not the only one, and who knows what else he would say to kids. What would he have asked for after that? He is a DANGER to children and it should be looked into more.

[@Justignorekas]

Alot of the 'friendships' I had with adults as a teen has taught me to tell the students in my care... "any adult not directly connected to your parents try to be your friend is a red flag, because adults are told over and over by society at large its not appropriate. Adults know better." Usually that wordy statement really seems to get them to understand why their parents war them against having adult friends. From personal experience they want something from the child, power, validation, sex, etc.

[@michibmoon]

YES! I have worked in Dayschools/daycares/camps before and I always stayed when they include training on how to be a responsible adult and keep other adults in check. One of the main rules was to not get too friendly with any of the kids! Specifically because it's groomer behavior. Textbook groomer behavior. Colleen is literally a textbook groomer.

[@Justignorekas]

@Michi Moon yes. And I always give age appropriate answers to any questions they have. Alot of the teens are really respectful understanding. Some younger kids tend to get stuck on 'but let's play minecraft', that happens I tell them again infront of the parent word for word what I did before. This gives them a full understanding of what was conveyed to their child and I offer to put in writing if they would like. Autistic children tend to get over attached** so we can add a report to keep on file. The parents usually handle it really well and the kid understands eventually. 👌 ** completely normal as understanding social stuffs (sorry words are not working) is literally what their brains aren't built for, though most excel once they learn how to unmask and socialize at their comfort levels. ♡ As someone with ADHD I relate way too hard as I over socialized and was just as clingy with teachers I liked. 🙃

[@susana.f.8222]

I remember when she uploaded this video. Im pretty sure the video was expertly put together with her PR team because to be honest I believed it at the time. I think it was believable because she speaks with such conviction and a serious tone that it implies that there’s no way she could be in the wrong. Like when you pointed out, she showed the “receipt” of the texts. She intentionally didn’t read it out loud. That is a trick that people use to look more honest, showing random texts even if it’s out of context or don’t add to their case. Just to say “I have evidence” and as a causal viewer people won’t look deep into it and just believe her quick concise video. She framed it like, “this is what happened (from my pov) now we can move on.” She cleverly covered all the holes that could make her look in the wrong. Ultimately, I think it’s important that you’re bringing up this video, because I am quite scared that a lot of people and myself believed her. It goes to show how easy it is to deceive as a public figure, as long as you follow a certain format. And I’m so sorry that you were the victim of this scheme.

[@Berellie]

I haven’t fully followed her until 2021 so I had NO idea about your first video. Looking at it now and your newest video. I’m so sadden I originally supported her. Thank you for showing us all your experience and truth and reality of it all. Sending love xoxo

[@hhoges9895]

I honestly don’t understand how there are adults out there that support her. Her whole Miranda character seems so aimed at children. It’s weird that grown adults liked her Miranda character. Children I totally get

[@arminparkin]

The other WILD thing about her apology video is that, at the very same time, she was in chats with other fans talking shit and painting a fake picture of who you were and what happened.

[@keeee3]

The amount of cuts in her video and the nerve of someone to say she didn’t even stutter 😂😂well no she cut all of those parts out. I’m starting to think those two weeks she waited to make this video she was writing down her “apology”

[@Elena-er7zp]

Don’t stop this time Adam. Keep going.

[@kaliortega8390]

At the end of the day, even if you asked for the undergarments…you don’t send that to a kid. Gross

[@ItsTaylorGay]

8:29 I am SO GLAD you acknowledged the "12 years ago..." "7 years ago..." etc. this is what stood out the most to me bc it really seems like she's making passive aggressive nods to how long ago stuff was and that she doesn't think she should be talking about it now. literally drove me insane watching this video bc every sentence starts with how long ago it was LOL

[@theeyoshidoll3094]

Justice for Adam and the rest of her audience💕

[@beetothetee]

I’m Colleen’s age, and I have to say that even if the underwear situation went down exactly as she edited it, it would still be fucking CREEPY that she did that! And it wouldn’t have been your fault in that situation either. You were a CHILD!!!! I know you didn’t, but even if you had literally begged her for the underwear, it would not be your fault or responsibility to establish appropriate boundaries with an adult. I’m so sorry she treated you this way, and I’m SO sorry she’s gotten away with it for this long. You’ve handled yourself with such maturity, grace, and integrity. Thank you for your bravery and vulnerability in speaking out- both on your own behalf and the behalf of her other victims. 💓💓

[@Hgtv-ok3gl]

God I'm so sorry I was a colleen stan who was against you, and I thank God I grew out of that because I am just now realizing how manipulative that woman was.

[@catnus]

adam is in his reputation era and i’m LIVING

[@BugabooASMR]

Hearing the pain in your voice while watching these videos absolutely breaks my heart. You didn’t deserve any of this shit.
