Colleen Ballinger dodges accusations of grooming and texting minors.
Here we are—the creme de le creme of bad YouTube apology videos. Colleen Ballinger is a YouTuber who dabbles in family vlogs and sketch comedy with her character Miranda Sings, an ill-dressed aspiring singer who posts covers of popular songs to the Internet. Ballinger is facing a few different accusations, including blackface and distributing porn of fellow YouTuber and podcast host Trisha Paytas, but the bulk of the accusations are related to bizarre interactions with underage fans. According to screenshots from these fans, Ballinger asked them about their favorite sex positions and when they got their first period, and she also sent one of them a pair of underwear she purchased. Ballinger took great offense to being accused of well-documented misdoings and decided to deny these allegations with a ten-minute-long twee ukulele song.
