It’s WILD to me that Colleen admits that they asked Adam to put the underwear on over his clothes and send a pic and none of us went WAIT WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!?

[@amandamandamands]

She makes out that he just did that for funsies to show it off. Adam says that he put it on and took the pic for the group chat because Kory was continually asking him to. So reality he got them out and did that so that Kory would shut up. Also the way that Colleen worded it, it sounded like Adam posted the picture publicly, there is a big difference between posting something in a private group chat and on a public platform.

[@stevielove4778]

The fact that she says “as a KID - when I was a KID…” she was NOT a child when she made that video, not at all! So that tells you how honest she is willing to be.

[@AnxietyRat]

Yeah, she was also in her thirties when she was interacting with Adam. Old enough to know that she probably shouldn't be talking to a fifteen-year-old even if they are a fan.

[@stevielove4778]

She’s trying to hard to distance herself from these things, exaggerating how long it’s been since the video was posted and repeating it over and over. Well Colleen, I would like to turn it right around and say “you have had this content UP on your channel for x number of years, endorsing and profiting off of it.” Much of it was only taken down when this first round of drama struck her in 2020.

[@meowJACK]

"when I was a kid.... 14 years ago...." followed by "still to this day as a 33yr old woman" 🙃 I know most of us consider when we were 19 to still be somewhat of "a kid" cuz you're still really young and immature at that age. But still, she was a fkn adult and she doesn't get to describe HERSELF as being "a kid" in that situation. If other people wanna give her that leeway then sure, but she doesn't get to paint it that way...

[@brookico]

@@meowJACKIf it was only inappropriate comedy when she was early 20’s and she didn’t do live shows where she KNEW that VERY little kids followed her then I might could give her some slack bc whether people want to acknowledge it or not ( or maybe people were not old enough to remember when shock comedy was a thing, I have heard some very disturbing jokes at comedy clubs around 15-20 years ago) BUT this wasn’t just shock comedy aimed at older teens to adults, she had YOUNG kids on stage with her so she had to know her target audience. However, if this all happened 10 years ago and it was just inappropriate comedy that would be one thing but it’s not. She was talking privately with minors about very inappropriate things and she was 30+ years old. This is on a similar level to James C texting minors (which was bad enough), but IMO this is worse because she wasn’t some early 20-25 year old who’s brain had not fully developed. From what I’ve heard she was still talking to minors like this fairly recently so she can’t say this was all when she was young and dumb bc she wasn’t young. She also can’t say she’s learned and changed when there is evidence to the contrary. I can’t see her career or what’s left of it surviving this.

[@rainestar82]

meanwhile the people she was talking to literally WERE minors...I think it speaks a lot to her mindset in general. I'm almost 30 and still feel like a teenager sometimes, but I'd never call myself a kid, especially when interacting with people HALF my age

[@bellascerpe933]

“Context is everything” and yet she edits out the part of the livestream where she specifically asks Adam if he wants the underwear and jokes about how his parents would react to seeing them.

[@AirConditioner402]

Also leaves out the part of the story about the dog where she tells her parents/doctor that the dog "bit her for no reason" instead of her hurting the dog??? trash.

[@emmag6792]

She took out his name in respect for what the mom wanted

[@MoonsShadows]

Plus all the random sexual messages she’s sent on chats with minors. What context could she possibly have for that? Like asking minors randomly if they’re virgins. She even admitted her persona of Miranda was based off a disabled family member so really… what did we expect from her.

[@KatJameson]

There's SO much more context to the bra and panty situation. She manipulated the love stream footage to look like Adam just asked for those things out of the blue. When in fact both her and Kory kept asking him if he wanted them. Then she even joked about how his parents were going to question who would do that. And then still did it. She knew better. This whole situation is so horrible. Poor Adam is processing trauma in real time while hundreds of people are bullying him and telling him he's a liar or doing it for clout. I hope everyone involved can heal and grow

[@heather4190]

[@Rae.Harper]

I was so mad when the edited live stream was used in this video… it was literally a case of analysing 50% of the footage. And Adam has the full clip online… it’s not like full facts couldn’t be collected…

[@littlemisstentoes]

I do want to advise Adam didn't ask for the underwear first, Colleen actually offered them to him first and said she knew his parents would be concerned yet she laughed about it, it's in the same stream but she cuts it out. He wanted the clothes because it was gonna come with a hand written note and that's what he wanted which is why he kept asking for it after.

[@lemonita347]

I’m totally against Colleen but I do want to correct you that Colleen was referencing Trisha in that instance to the” squirting” that a whale does because Trisha was known for “squirting”on her OF. Kory first said they saw the whale squirt and then Colleen said yes and they aren’t talking about Trisha but a whale.

[@constanzelade]

Totally agree. And the thing with Trisha being bullied secretly by Colleen is really interesting to me. On one side, yes Trisha is problematic and often unhinged and can be very shitty. However, Trisha doesn't really film herself talking shit or being hateful for absolutely no reason. I used to watch her and Frenemies and all that and Trisha makes an effort to not be hateful at the VERY least. Colleen just comes off as hateful, spiteful, and shitty to people for no reason that have done nothing wrong to her.

It’s come out that behind the scenes she was working with other people in the fandom to get them to essentially tuna smear campaign on Adam. Basically she was having other people do her dirty work

[@corpseparty253]

I commented in another video the same: she doesnt tell that she grabbed the dog, dug her nails in her dog and the dog turned around and bit her because she was hurting them.

I don’t fully know the situation or anything about how she provoked an attack from the dog but didn’t she say she was 3 years old? I don’t think we need to be putting blame on her for that as a 3 year old. If anything the person responsible should be the adult present/ her parents for not ensuring both the safety of her and the dog.

[@dandelion_official4812]

Mathmematically she was 19 (33-14=19), so what she's actually doing is not technically lying, but banking on people not realising that she isn't talking about being 13, 14, 15, or 16, which is what people *usually* mean when talking about stupid shit they did as teens. Granted she could also just be playing with numbers depending on where her birthday falls so she could easily have been 21, but she was no younger than 19.

[@Meghann_Brady]

"To me, you aren't just my fans, you're my friends!" girl NO. That's not normal. You're a grown ass woman being "friends" with teens and pre teens?? Even if her fans were adults, it's still weird and parasocial to call her fans friends.

[@lisapeesalemonsqueezah3241]

I HATE when people are making an apology and they go on and on about how they have changed and they hope the person/people they are apologizing to can see that. Whether or not you have changed is a separate conversation. Making it all about you makes the apology feel so hollow and undermines your apology. It’s how my abuser made ME feel guilty for allowing her to apologize and “retraumatizing” HER by making her remember that she did a bad thing. It’s not about how YOU feel when you apologize. I don’t want to hear how you’ve changed during that conversation. I don’t want you to be ashamed or feel guilty. That’s not the goal. If that’s how you feel that’s not my problem. When you play up that part of things TO THIS EXTENT, it’s manipulative. We’re all guilty of doing this to some degree when we apologize because we all want to be loved/accepted even when we make mistakes, but there’s a point where you need to put how you feel aside and focus on the hurt you’ve caused.

[@Cove_Blue]

One thing that really bothers me about her "apology" in regards to the Adam Twitter takeover: she uses her son as an excuse, ie "I was breastfeeding and tired," but Adam is 20 now and this happened when he was 15. Her son is only 4.

I've hit pause after your first observation, I'd like to make a call before I continue. The reason she is taking full responsibility for her first point, is so when she starts minimising or denying the bigger issues, people will have been somewhat conditioned to believe she takes full responsibility when wrong, so she's being sincere throughout.

@@ObserveKZbin Hi Observe, First and foremost, I want you to know that I'm here for you during this challenging time. It takes great strength and courage to navigate through the aftermath of a divorce, and I believe in your ability to move forward and embrace a brighter future. Divorce can be a painful experience, but it also provides an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. As you embark on this new chapter of your life, it's crucial to have faith in yourself and your journey. Remember, you are a unique individual with a wealth of qualities and experiences that make you special. While it may feel like you're starting over, take solace in the fact that every ending paves the way for a new beginning. Embrace the freedom that comes with being single and rediscover what truly brings you joy and fulfillment. This is a time to focus on self-care, self-reflection, and self-improvement. In the process of rediscovering yourself, you may come across someone special who truly understands and appreciates you. Keep an open mind and heart, and don't rush into anything. Allow love to find its way to you naturally, in its own time. Remember, a healthy and fulfilling relationship is built on mutual understanding, trust, and support. However, don't let the desire for a new relationship hold you back. Embrace your newfound independence and relish in the freedom to chart your own path. Take this opportunity to set goals, pursue passions, and expand your horizons. Cherish your life of manhood, for it is a journey filled with endless possibilities and personal growth. Lastly, it's important to acknowledge that every action in life carries consequences. As you navigate through various situations, be mindful of the choices you make and their potential impact. When faced with challenges, seek resolutions that promote growth, understanding, and positive change. Remember, every setback can be transformed into an opportunity for personal and emotional development. In conclusion, I want you to take this time to heal, reflect, and rediscover your authentic self. Embrace your independence, have faith in yourself, and trust that a bright and fulfilling future lies ahead.

How she approved that tweet multiple times went ovr it with him, had him explain the tweet in detail, n THEN gave him the password ta post it himself.

What she fails to address regarding the underwear is that she OFFERED them to the fan in the livestream first, before he ever asked. She cut that out of her 'receipts'. He also said she promised him a long letter with them as well which is what he really wanted, that's why he kept asking for them. Then when his mother took the underwear away from him upon arrival (thinking that it was, in fact, super creepy), Kory (Colleen's friend wearing the underwear) said he needed to wear them over his clothes like he did and to go and find where she'd hidden them, which the child then did. I believe this was the point as well that someone in the chat where he wore them for his friends, recorded it and put it on the internet later without his knowledge or consent. Disgusting behaviour from these adults.

[@laurag502]

idk i never feel like apologies that are centered around “it was so long ago i’m not that person anymore i’m so much better now” just couldn’t possibly be genuine. i mean when have you ever irl been confronted by a person you hurt and just been like “i’m not that person anymore” it’s weird.

[@IHeArTrOcK20]

I respect that you ended the video telling people not to go to other channels and start talking down to people or spreading heat. But I actually disagree in this instance, because I think that they’re definitely needs to be more awareness on this and being that she is traveling at the moment doing shows, and there are still tons of kids and parents that are going to these events without knowing a lot of the stuff- it needs to be shared

[@lukebeanstalker]

With all the context that’s come out now and knowing the extent of her and Adam’s relationship behind the scenes, this makes her original apology video a million times worse. She refers to Adam as “this boy that made a video about me” as if she didn’t talk to him every day 🫠 her entire tone of that apology video is narcissistic blame shifting and gaslighting

[@ginagina]

Re: 19:03 -- I watched the whole livestream. Here's all the evidence that Colleen and Kory purposefully drew attention to her underwear and asked Adam if he wanted them with timestamps. Here's the livestream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5avpax6Zadnj8U *"I need you to put it on so bad!" she laughingly tells Kory at 12:12, "and we'll give it away, I'm not using that." *"Everyone wants the bra!" Colleen says at 32:39. "You want the bra? It's because I'm modeling it," Corey boasts. "No-one wants the panty?" Corey runs his fingers along the back seam. *"We should make a hashtag. #koryslingeire?" Colleen offers at 34:43, amplifying attention to the underwear. *"Ew!" she screams in the moment she first sees a tweet from Adam. He's roasting her for an old outfit and she enjoys him being shady. "That outfit! Screaming home-schooled Christian university realness" Kory also laughs. There's no mention of underwear. She even reads the item Adam wants! "Please give me the dress," he's tweeted by 39:56. *"I want to send him something," she finally says at 40:47. "Do you want the bra, Adam?" "Do you want the bra and panties? Tweet right now." Kory also encourages as he pulls the straps down, still modeling them. *"Maybe he'll want the panties," Colleen says hopefully.

I honestly believed her for a long time, she is really good at pretending she is a good person, and honestly she has done a lot of good things (like the charities she does for her birthday).

Trisha is one of the worst people to ever be on the internet and I firmly believe you cannot be the friend of someone THAT awful and damaging and not be a bad person yourself.

Apparently she hasn't shown the actual proof that she is giving to these charities, the money goes straight to her, so she could be only giving a portion of it and not every penny donated to it.

He said your video is "really good" and he thanks you for calling it out- "shoutout and kudos" :)

[@spaceunicorn6000]

What she's not understanding, it that when people say she's treating minors inappropriately, that doesn't have to be with a sexual motive. She abused her power, made some shit choices, exploited minors for clout, money, attention, popularity, -and that was inappropriate. She was nearly twice the age of many of these kids and teenagers, and she should have stopped herself and said 'ok, no, we're not doing that.' And moved on with something else. She's behaving like people are accusing her of having gross hidden sexual designs on her fans, and they're not. But what she did is still wrong.
