I didn’t understand why Josh saying a minor’s (or actually a 19 year old as we now know) sexuality was not his business was wrong. He’s right. It’s not. Josh was setting a boundary between older person and teen and Johnny kept pushing it by asking more. The part I felt more sus about was the not to tell his parents. But even then, I could see it being out of a sense of fear his parents would retaliate and kick him out. Was it the best response? No. But it wasn’t a giant grooming tactic being deployed.

[@NoraNekoNikki]

Agree. Thats like opposite grooming. A fan's (and as Johnny had claimed minor's, even though we now know better) sexuality is no concern of a performer. That is a proper boundary ffs.

[@krystinaraquel]

No literally he was very clearly in love with Josh and when the feeling was not reciprocated he got hurt and accused him of grooming

[@fraufuchs9555]

Word! His definition of grooming is Josh saying John's sexuality isn't his business and ghosting him. Hard to take him seriously.

[@imymcginty]

It breaks my heart to hear the victims’ tone instinctively change like they’re trying to minimize their experiences to keep the peace whenever Ethan asks them a question meant for them to be able to share their side more completely. Like when Ethan asked Johnny to explain how Colleen abused her power and Johnny’s tone immediately shifted to that “well it wasn’t THAT bad” kind of tone cause these victims are so used to defending a predator because they thought she was their friend. 😢

[@Kaalyn_HOW]

Yes! And the go-to defense mechanism after being attacked by Colleen stans for a month. Wired to believe a clarifying question is actually trying to be a gotcha, bc that's all they've been hearing from everyone else for a month. Ugh. I'm glad listeners are catching the self-minimization.

[@jericlark5855]

No. It’s because they know they’re full of 💩

[@prettylillaila7772]

They all thought she was they friend :/... how tf could she take advantage of these sweet kids?

[@deltawhiskey1998]

Or maybe it wasn’t as bad as it’s currently being played out online? I want to be 💯 clear- I am not saying this to defend Colleen - what she did was incredibly inappropriate & obviously harmful for the minors involved. I actually think it’s really important to NOT make things out to be more than they were for exactly that reason- bcuz then it becomes really easy to minimize all but the most harmful behaviour. Both for the people doing it & the public. internet celebrity Interacting w minors who are emotionally vulnerable & have parasocial relationships with them can be incredibly influential & damaging to the these kids emotional & psychological development - just bcuz of the relationship the kids are experiencing being way more meaningful & impactful than it is to the internet celebrities. There doesn’t need to be more nefarious intention or behaviour than that to cause deep & long-term harm, esp at that stage in life & depending on what else the minor is going thru. And that’s the point, these are kids/ppl you know nothing about!! Johnny & Josh’s relationship is a perfect example of that. Josh didn’t do anything “criminal” to Johnny which makes it’s super easy for ppl, and probably him, to say it’s not his responsibility, the kid has parents- in this case, parents who were involved & well aware of the relationship - he thought it would be cool for his fans to get to interact with their favourite internet celebrity, he was just trying to be nice to this kid! I mean, we’re all forgetting that there was no manual for how internet celebrities interact with fans - part of the draw/interest was that they were “just normal ppl on the internet”. Plus, there’s the dynamic that the way that internet celebrities keep their celebrity/fame/money is by interacting with their fans and keeping them engaged & supportive. Humans are messy and complex and self-centred and it’s way too easy for someone to tell themselves and other ppl that if they aren’t intending to cause harm, then somehow that makes it not as bad. Which obvi isn’t the case for the person who experienced it. When instead what people should be doing is putting intent into NOT causing harm. And we can’t do better, until we know better - and we Cant do that until we actually have to acknowledge it wasn’t okay in the first place. And when you’ve got thousands/millions of people telling you that what you’re doing is good and celebrating you it’s pretty easy to tell yourself it’s not that big of a deal. Colleen is obvi a damaged individual - tbh, the sexualized content gives vibes that something happened in her history, and we also definitely know that she grew up in a puritanical Christian household where sex/sexuality is twisted. I don’t think this was about sexual attraction/gratification on Colleens part. Again, doesn’t make any of it okay. Which is the point - it shouldn’t take that for ppl to understand that this isn’t okay. Think about it - the reason Adam got so much pushback when he talked about what Colleen did the first time is bcuz “ it wasn’t that bad”, when just what he shared there was absolutely bad/harmful for him. K, I have to get back to work. I hope this made sense.

[@imymcginty]

@@deltawhiskey1998 I stopped reading when you insinuated it wasn’t as bad as it’s being played out online… When all the victims’ stories have receipts to prove it actually happened the way they said and there’s, you know, the federal crime of it all. I’d say that’s pretty damn bad. And no thesis you write is going to change that. Especially when most of your comment follows a statement of claiming you’re not defending her or excusing her… “BUT”… Which the word “but” negates everything you said before it. “But” means “forget what I just said, let me tell you how I really feel.” If you’re not here to support the victims, that’s your prerogative, but I’m not going to entertain you trying to minimize their experiences by acting like any of these victims have said they thought Colleen was trying to be romantically sexual with them. Grooming is not purely sexual, as has been made very clear across all these victims’ stories.

[@DnZnFO]

Although I do agree that Johnny definitely hijacked this entire interview (allegedly he was telling people he was going to be the “leader”) all this does is show that the hosts aren’t all that great when it comes to things like this. Maybe one or two guests is fine but johnny kept talking because they allowed him to. They kept asking only him questions. They could’ve easily asked in multiple occasions “Do you guys feel the same way?” “Can you guys relate to this?” “I’d love to hear from Becky/Oliver but thanks Johnny, we’ll come back to you”. He spoke the first entire half because they facilitated the space for him to do so. The other two weren’t as vocal when it came to their turn but if it was me and they let that guy go for 30min I’d probably feel that they weren’t as invested in hearing my story and likely wouldn’t say much. It’s hard to relive trauma as is. Not everyone can be a true journalist and/or mediator (and that’s okay) but if you’re going to take on these roles you gotta educate yourselves in how to do it

[@officaldungeons]

Respectfully, I think this should’ve been three separate interviews as these three experiences are wildly different so there’s not enough common ground for there to be interplay between the guests. This means you have to basically just talk to one person for a while let the other two sit around possibly feeling invalidated for not being afforded the space to tell their own story. Good practice would be rotating prepared questions and giving space for the individuals to jump in and interact with the line of questioning from another interviewee. This way is more democratic and creates the feeling of a group of people talking rather than three disparate conversations.

[@asmileisspecial]

I agree, it’s fantastic they all have a platform to speak out but so much time was spent talking to one person and I can’t imagine being one of the other people both listening to someone else’s experience and maybe mentally comparing and anxious about when I’ll be asked to speak. I agree that it should have been three separate interviews, especially because questions like “were you in group chats?” were a no for everyone but Johnny.

Colleen has the humor of a minor that had inappropriate relations with an adult or an older child in her family. I’m not mentioning that as a way to excuse her actions. but she really needs to look into what trauma led her to consciously or unconsciously groom kids.

[@blatio8131]

I don’t think Colleen realizes she was molested and that what she’s doing is grooming. Otherwise she wouldn’t have wrote it off as gossip and untrue because it is 100% inappropriate. She has OCD and people with OCD came from an unstable childhood.

[@Kaalyn_HOW]

​@allisoncastle Big agree here too. I was still watching her vlogs until recently too and it's been shocking how much can be out there and public that I still never once saw or knew about! So it's crazy to know how you can genuinely not know anything about these things, think you like someone, and then discover SO much damning content, posts, shows, behavior, etc.. If you don't have the time to consume everything someone is doing you can wholly believe someone is a great person.....and then discover they've even been shamelessly public with their garbage, let alone what they were doing behind the scenes. It's been heartbreaking to see so many people who sincerely believed she was so kind, so loving, so accepting, so helpful be the literal devil.

Who pays for their fans tickets??? The way he tells stories about completely harmless scenarios and tries to make it sinister is shocking. Edit: as I’m further in. Johnny is so bitter. I believe he wasn’t treated well by these guys, but he was an adult who just didn’t get what he wanted and this is his retaliation.

They have nothing to do with this, they didn't hurt anyone, they don't owe him anything, and specially grace has a lot more important stuff going on in her life right now. he just comes off as bitter because his relationship with colleen, and eventually with josh, weren't reciprocated. if colleen, josh, kory, etc. were being bad friends or bosses, he could've quit, but he stayed there because he didn't have a problem with anything until they pushed him away and weren't helping him on his journey to fame. the victims on the other hand didn't even get to say anything because he hogged the mic and h3 didn't seem to plan this all that well, since they barely asked the victims for their perspective and focused on poor johnny who got ghosted. smh

Our last baby was 100% healthy as I had very high powered antibiotics before, during and after labor…. As did our baby boy… we were watched very closely, I had a wonderful OBGYN ❤️💕🙏🏼 My point in telling you all this is I’ll never forget Colleen’s water breaking with her twins, at 32-1/2 weeks, which is a life or death medical emergency… made Worse by her twins both being breech… So what does Colleen do???? Vlog it and straighten her hair of Course, laughing the whole time … risking the lives of her babies… So of course the Dr called her and was like “this is a medical emergency, where are you, why are you not here yet??”….😲😳😐… so of course she continues vlogging on the way to the hospital … So she gets to the hospital…. And she ends up having an emergency C section immediately, because one of her babies umbilical cords had washed down when her water broke…again, cord prolapse is a very, very serious medical emergency as the pressure on the cord, cuts off blood flow to The baby… She’s very, very lucky that both babies lived… As someone whom went through not only losing a baby…. But seeing 2 of my other babies struggle on life support…. It made me so angry… That’s when I knew …. Colleen Ballinger is a selfish, selfish, gross person… Obviously she couldn’t help that her waters broke pre term, obviously…. It’s how she handled it after the fact, that made her selfish.. I think that’s her true character…my older daughter and I quit watching her after that (my daughter is an adult btw, we used to think Miranda was funny, so we’d watch together when she came to visit)… I hope Colleen is deplatformed!!

I feel so bad for Oliver and his family. They so clearly love him and want to see him feel accepted by the people around him; to see him feel happiness. Then two creeps come into his life and work to manipulate him by finally giving him the acceptance he so desperately longed for and, frankly, deserved. They knew that their fame and age gave them incredible power over a vulnerable and underage person like Oliver at that time. It is like Colleen, and whoever else was apart of this, thought “hmm this kid has been severely bullied, that is good for us because now we know it works on him and we can do it to him too”. You can tell that the intense first experience of feeling truly included meant a lot to Oliver and would probably have made him the happiest he had even been. I can imagine it meant the world to his parents too because their son, who they love so deeply, struggled for probably his whole life but now got to experience true happiness. They probably were nothing but thankful to these creeps. Which is scary because I feel like the mixture of Oliver’s struggles, his parents’ absolutely pure and encompassing love for him, and two evil but powerful people could have lead to an even scarier situation. I hope his family never feel any guilt for allowing this friendship happen, they were only ever doing what they thought was best for their son and that’s what loving parents do. I know they will still find some way to blame themselves but that is just what comes with parenting. Seriously though, they having nothing to feel bad for and are some amazing human beings and parents. He is truly blessed to have such a beautiful family. Shout out to Oliver!

I know unpaid internships are normal in the US, but in Europe it's only legal if it's part of your education, like if you are a nursing student and as part of your studies are placed in a hospital for a limited time to get training. I'm quite sure Adam McIntyre working for free for Ballinger was illegal. Unpaid community work is common here, but you are not required to do it. Example, I live in an apartmentbuilding owned by it's residents. 1 day a year we do free labor in or around the building, like driving ppls old furniture to the recycling station, cutting down small trees, only about 1/3 of the residents participate, we have a good time, and always order pizza later.
