Some people not understanding how gross this is so bizarre to me. As a 25 year old, when I look at my cousin who is 14 she is a BABY. At 25, I would NEVER speak to any kids that age like they were my best friend. They’re children…. I can’t even fathom being 30+ and doing that. Plus, she did MUCH MUCH more, but even at the minimum just befriending kids was so gross.

[@DemelzasDelights]

Literally THIS. I am 33 yrs old and my youngest friend is 22yrs old through the K-Pop community, that's a huge age gap in itself. We (both cis woman) have been to kpop concerts together and chat about music etc. But I cannot fathom ever ever ever in my life befriending someone 18, 16 or 14yrs old. WTF? Let alone the perverted sh** Colleen and her 30+ yr old friends and family were saying and doing ?? This is so wrong on so many levels and they all knew what they were doing was f**ked up.

[@francescagb97]

I think she was extremely sheltered her entire life, was homeschooled then went to a private christian college. So she never learned how to behave appropriately and that’s why she makes such immature gross jokes and says disgusting things to kids in group chats. She only started living in the real world once she graduated college so mentally and emotionally she’s probably like 19 or 20. Definitely not an excuse but an explanation. It also doesn’t seem like she has many real friends her own age

Olivia is SO good at giving timelines and telling the story with the best details!! Love her PowerPoints and her in general!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👑👑👑

[@starfire168]

Honestly huge props to Olivia for sharing all of this. Seeing the drama through the POV of someone who was herself a huge fan makes the reality of these interactions much clearer, and it highlights how widespread some of these issues obviously are. Listening to her talk about her parasocial relationship was Colleen was interesting, and I'm currently thinking about where exactly the boundaries "should" be. -I see an argument for keeping interactions between fans and content creators as disappointingly one-directional and mediated as possible, given the obvious and serious potential for abuse. -On the other hand, the entire premise of the medium is the sense of intimacy and connection, and I can imagine that there's a lot of benefit there. If Colleen or her bestie were therapists or teachers, it would be immediately clear that they were behaving inappropriately - no reasonable person would listen to a teacher's explanation for sending their panties home in a kid's backpack or texting them details about their divorce, but I can at least understand that in ten years of interacting with a group of fans, as a comedian and in this grey area between friend and authority figure, people can make some poor decisions in the moment and later regret them. Maybe the period stuff was meant to be a bit, maybe it's some personal stuff she's into. Straight up asking a group chat of teens about virginity and sex positions though, how does a 33-year-old hit send on that text message?

I feel she isn’t aware of what 13 year old talk about and also isn’t aware that talking to minors is weird because she is still childlike. With being very sheltered and religious I don’t think she has learned this but who is her management team and why would they approve of her talking to minors In a group chat?

in some religious communities, it's normalized for an adult to engage and become friends with younger people. When I was one of the Jehovah's witnesses, at age 14 a lot of my friends were between the ages of 18-30. I would be the youngest person invited to parties that consisted of 18-29 year olds. If she was in a religion with that kind of culture, that may be why she's so unaware of how abnormal her interactions with minors were. However, she should've figured it out and been more cautious.

[@tdaetaunm]

The shadiness of Colleen's divorce from Josh and her relationship with Erik that followed was when I began to look at her different. Joshua and Colleen dated for 7 years - they met when she was in New York and then he moved to California to be with her so she could be closer to her family. They vlogged a lot of their relationship and their wedding was huge. They bought a house together and while Josh was vocal about settling down and starting a family, Colleen was eager to keep working. A year after their marriage, she moves to Canada to begin filming Haters Back Off and Josh stays behind in California. He visited a handful of times and each was as Olivia described Colleen's trip home - awkward, distant, tense - there was clearly a lot happening behind the scenes. At this point in Colleen's vlogs, Erik is becoming a more prominent figure and fans are noticing. When Josh adopted the dog, everyone called out how Colleen never bonded with it and was more distracted by her time in Canada. They eventually announce their divorce and the timeline with Erik carries on as Olivia describes. Although Colleen has never admitted to anything, Josh was adamant in his divorce video that he did not ask for it and his life spiraled into alcoholism, depression, and many other personal concerns as a result of the divorce. While Colleen may not have physically cheated, she more than likely emotionally cheated and gaslighted Josh when he expressed how uncomfortable her relationship with Erik was, only to end up with him and compromise to put her career on hold to begin their family in the home she originally bought with Josh for the same future plans. Josh is not perfect, but to spend nearly a decade with someone you're head over heels for, someone you think wants you the same way and wants that life with you, only for them to throw it all away after a year is insane. If she noticed red flags or had issues, she should have brought them to light sooner or never married him in the first place. Her failed marriage is on her for not communicating responsibly.

[@Iono123]

These kinds of relationships are super common in people with narcissism. Narcissists see their own relationships as “fairytales”, so when the reality sets in that marriage actually entails a lot of lows along with the highs, they immediately sever any emotional ties with their partner. However, they rarely break up with them at that point in the relationship. Instead, they do everything in their power to manipulate their partner in to believing that they (the partner) are the one that wants a divorce, that they are the issue, and that ultimately they are the ones that were unable to make it work out. So, thanks for leaving this comment because it was very insightful in to just how likely it is that Colleen has Narcisstic Personality Disorder.

Especially with all the “groomer” bullsh*t going around. Shane never had any accusations of wrongdoing, he never had creepy leaked DMs, he wasn’t found to have inappropriate relationships with fans… nothing like that. I’m surprised Ethan of all people jumped on the cancelation bandwagon for someone whose only sin was literally just awful jokes. Ethan showed grace to iDubbbz and allowed him to move beyond his past behavior, and iDubbbz actually used slurs like f*cking crazy for years, which Shane certainly never did. Make it make sense.

I’m probably shouting this into the abyss, but I’m 47 and came into this video completely completely blind only having watched the ukulele video. This is such amazing work… I cannot say that enough. Looking at this is a 47 year old man. Understanding the experience that Ethan is bringing…. And trying to understand the experience of Olivia. My God she did amazing work ….. and about a subject that she was and is so invested in. When you drill deep down into the details of a situation like this, there are so many small moments that are just as insidious as the great big ones. Thank you for bringing this too light. Even an older guy like me can learn a lot.

[@griffithsrat]

When she was in her prime (mid 2010s) I was 13-15yrsold (I’m not sure of the years but u get it) I never really liked watching her bc I was picky with my yt vids and found (still find) her annoying, both in her Miranda character and as herself, even though I was in her main demographic 😅. I’m glad I never watched her bc this whole thing is insane. The emotional rollercoaster this drama brought down on her fans and past fans is crazy lol

She was torturing the dog and the dog bit her to save its own life. Taking everything we have learned, into consideration, this girl is a psychopath. Why did she even tell the story? Because she still hasn't learned to fake normal emotions, which makes her a stupid psychopath.

[@Stickon32]

Y’all should retitle this to captivate people outside H3 audience

[@yerichu]

She, a grown ass adult, knew what she was doing. She has clear narcissistic traits - trying to blackmail a child, cheating and lying to those close to her, etc etc. She is not just stunted or ignorant. This shit is all calculated its so obvious. Lets call it like it is. Grooming children has serious repercussions. I am a victim myself and I cannot put into words how damaging it is. You never get over that kind of pain being groomed in your developmental years. In my opinion she is a pedo. Many pedos feel like they never grew up thus keep the attraction of other children (bc they see themselves as still a teen/child themselves). If she is 'stunted' on top of other things she can still be a pedo. This is my opinion. No other excuse to groom a child beyond the adult enjoying it.

[@arbysbathroomorgies]

shane was actually kissing multiple young girls at meet and greets. not saying this colleen stuff isn’t bad, but she was actually PHYSICALLY touching these underage people

[@serenityseen]

she did physically touch children, just not sexually!! at her shows, she would put cheese balls in her pants and have children reach in to the bucket IN HER PANTS BRO. She also spread Becky’s legs on stage when she was in a romper. I know shane is a nasty POS but Colleen is just as bad imo :/

[@bonnielynn1682]

I do think there was a little more in her adressing everything video that mattered. The way she lied about approving the Meghan Trainer tweets and "brought her son into his drama" as an excuse of not "reviewing the tweets close enough" also is what made people think Adam was lying and out to get her.

[@SweetMelodies00]

[@Misunao23]

Colleen is an amalgamation of personality disorders including Borderline, Histrionic, Narcissistic, and Antisocial. Something in her life didn’t go right and it bent her sideways. Maybe it’s the same thing that afflicts her siblings. But her ability to make judgment and understand reality and consequences is severely compromised. The fact that she has 3 children is incredibly worrying and concerning.

[@Neddoest]

[@loiswilliams2488]

Annoyed this video happened before Ukulele-gate

[@ourownenemies]

I don’t think it’s a case of colleen being sheltered sadly. She has been making content like this for 16ish years, she has been to the vidcons, the playlists, meet&greets etc. And knows EXACTLY who her audience is. The people buying her tickets, watching her shows, clicking on her videos are predominantly CHILDREN! she’s making money from them by playing into the parasocial relationship. They defend her against anyone who disagrees with her and she offers them an idea of ‘friendship’ in return. Its hard to believe that anyone who has been face to face with the children that adore them for over 10 years truly wishes to befriend them bc of being ‘sheltered’.

[@dafy3857]

I had adored and loved colleen since i was 8 and i’ve been a fan of hers for 8 1/2 years just up until like 3-4 months ago. I did stop watching her because she nonstop posted videos crying all the time and being very mood swingy and i felt like she was off so i stopped watching because she kept being weird and i was kind of getting worried, now seeing all this stuff coming out about her it all really does add up and i cannot believe i’ve watched her for this long and haven’t realized all this absolutely mind blowing. I truly appreciate you all for posting this video with valid receipts and confirming how messed up colleen and her group surrounding her truly is so Thankyou.

it always makes me so scared when people who behave this way around and towards children, have children of their own. colleen already has like 3 or 4, and wants more - and her brother & sister-in-law (the one also in that creepy group chat) have like 7 or 8. i fear for them so much, the backlash they could (& maybe do) face at school/in-public must be insane.

[@idkidk-pe3mn]

[@CH-oy5mt]

I remember watching Colleen speak about how the ads shouldn't have been disabled on children's content 'because it is just making it easier for the pdfiles to watch the children where as before they had to sit through an ad' it didn't make sense because that group will wait through an ad. Who turning off the ads are to discourage are the garbage parents who cater to the creeps in a subtle and unsubtle ways with their children sometimes to make money off their children's exploitation. She was going to the family channel route and was probably just mad she might not be able to profit. I think there was a time where family channels were in question if they could be counted as children's content.

[@iwanttosleep6414]

I think KZbin should just ban all family content and videos cantered around children entirely.

[@vykepp5709]

I was a 14 year old who had 18-35 year olds tryna get in my pants, being sexual with me, i thought it made me mature and cool, but that was just the manipulation from the adults. The fact so many people blamed sweet Adam is so gross. I was 16 when a college boy was spreading my nudes without my consent. I got berated so bad, was called a disgusting whore, even had peoples moms telling me to stay away from their sons, sooo many rumours about my sexual health and saying I was pregnant, yet not once did anybody blame the adults spreading CP, not even my parents. I understand how it is to be blamed for shit you innocently did as a teen or didn't fully understand, you thought was cool, it hurts so much when you had nothing but good intentions and everyone was blaming you the child, instead of the adults who should have known better and were the ones doing actual stuff wrong. Even as a 21 year old now seeing 18 year olds at bars and having them hit on me im like ew you're a childddd.

There’s a whole twitter thread on Trent. It’s really bad. He basically was really creepy with a 13 year old fan saying he can’t wait for her to turn 18 and asking her to come live with him and all these other s*xual innuendos. He’s clearly got mental delays but still super weird that he got away with it.

[@anii2987]

Overall this was a very good summary of the situation. There's just one thing I disagree with: This has absolutely happened before and it was Onision. Arguably that one was a lot worse.... and in some ways it makes me feel better that everyone had just collectively repressed that.
