You know this “apology” is insincere. She didn’t even sigh at the beginning.
Classic 😂
But she's got the light-colored background and minimal makeup, so, it still *feels* almost real.

Singing out your pedophilia apology as if you were accused of saying unsavory words has to be the wildest YT moment of 2023
I dunno, we've still got some months left. I'm holding out for the house beat + digitized voice apology.

@@AlabasterShrikewe’ve gotta have a ChatGPT apology at some point
@@kirinesin5922no, there's more to it and she also lied about the fan asking for then,in the video she offered first, she also basically humiliated a 14 yo girl in one of her shows during a skit where she made her lie on the stage with her legs up, there's some videos she made with JoJo Siwa when she was a minor where she kept talking about JoJo's vagina,she had group chats with her fans where she would keep talking shit about her ex when they were divorcing, exposing a lot of details about their relationship and in those chats she'd also keep asking underage girls things about their periods,idk if there's more stuff
pedophilia??? seriously???
Calling this an apology is really generous considering the only time the word 'sorry' is even mentioned is when she sings "I know you wanted me to say I was 100% in the wrong, well I'm sorry, I'm not gonna take that route". Literally the only time she "apologises" is when she says "sorry but I'm NOT gonna apologise". She spends this entire "song" calling all the accusations false and saying she's gonna talk about "the facts" yet doesn't provide a SINGLE piece of evidence, something Adam and other victims have spent YEARS on uncovering. The entire video is just her throwing a pity party going "poor me, I can't believe YOU would do this to ME", as if she's the one we should feel bad for, while blaming the victims for speaking out and us for believing them (again, they've provided so much evidence and it's coming from multiple sources). Don't even get me started on the fact she decided to pull out a fucking ukulele to sing this shit, what an actual fever dream and slap in the face to everyone who's been hurt by her actions
ahhh, my least favorite phrase of all time, only uttered by the most obnoxious people of all time: _"sorry, not sorry!"_
(curse you, originator of the phrase poet William Carlos Williams!)
i truly hope they can get some justice because this is sickening. this video is actually downright cruel.
Fuck her seriously. Can't wait to see her face when the internet refuses to let go and she'll see her reputation go in flames
Toxic Gossip Train, more like Pity Tea Party for POooor Her. Agree with you. Gross AF behavior
As horrible as it is that the person that did messed up things to you isn’t accepting any responsibility, if the guy that SA’d me and gave me PTSD got on the internet and sang a dumbass song and the entire internet clowned on him for it, well, that has to feel redeeming.
Imagine in court wacking out a Ukalele and singing your defence, I feel like they'd double the maximum sentence
Ace Attorney type beat
“Your honor! 🎶it’s the toxic gossip train🎶🎸”
@@tinavanwey1308 Like Marlon Rimes🫣🫣
This is definitely the second worst influencer apology of all time. Let's not forget a girl tried to "apologize" for repeated SA by doing an interpretative dance about how she wants to be "wild and free."
Wait, what?? I must've completely missed that. Who?? When?? And most importantly: WHY???
@@gurkensohn7807sienna mae
There are arguments to be made for this one being worse, though those are based on outside factors.
Colleen is older and presumably wiser.
Colleen has a team counseling her on what she should and SHOULD NOT do.
Colleen had every opportunity to learn from other apologies posted before hers.
@@gurkensohn7807Why? Good question. 🤔
Because she's "quirky XD" and "not like the other girls"?
Idk, they're both in the running for being the worst. I truly can't decide which has more brain rot than the other.
The fact she worked out actual rhyming structures and an actual semi-tune tells me this was a plan she had to spend several days on, she had to practice that... and no one around her saw her practicing this and went "Hey, how about I bury that Ukelele in the backyard and we never talk about this again?"
At least that'll make it harder for her to claim she was playing the ukulele as a way to self regulate 😬
In the video she said her team told her not to.
Well yeah they did have a problem with it but they can't force her not to do it
my guess is they don't care anymore.
Several days? Nah, I feel like she wrote it in a couple of hours. Their basic chords too, so she wouldn't have had to practice it too much to get it super clean since she's pretty professional.
All in all, it was a horrible idea tho
Even if she isn’t responsible for HALF the shit she’s accused of, doing a “ukelele apology song” should put her in jail for life.
I was most OUTRAGED by how that one poor girl’s experience as a CHILD was reduced to “just a fart joke” 😢
Just a note; Colleen never apologized in her “addressing everything” video. She basically said Adam was a liar and turned the internet against him. She’s never taken true accountability for anything
Thank you for pointing this out. She was never sorry and she's never stopped.
2 strikes for not taking accountability despite what shes saying about her "accountability"
yeah I don't know why everyone is calling it an apology even though she didn't apologize, I guess the "apology video" thing has become such a genre that people use it as a catch-all for any kind of response videos that address an accusation or issue, even when the person addressing it is doubling down or denying the allegations
How does this help her case? 😂
@@ObesePuppiesit doesnt
This is maybe the least self aware youtube apology I've ever seen
I’m just a quirky girl who made some mistakes in my silly past😊 😅 (she’s a 36 year old predator)
is it really even an apology, I never heard the word sorry, seemed more like she was doubling down
This apology is somehow even worse than the Logan Paul, Laura Lee and Shane Dawson apologies combined. The lack of self awareness displayed in this video is something else. The other apologies I mentioned are fake as fuck, cheesy, and narcissistic, but Colleen's is on a whole different level. I really don't understand how she wrote that song, rehearsed it, recorded multiple takes, edited it, had a publicist/her team okay it, and then posted it without ever once considering how tone deaf, tasteless, and narcissistic it was. There were SO MANY POINTS in which she could have backed out and realized how bad of an idea this was. Colleen has reached an entirely new level of delusional that I didn't even know existed.
seems like classic narcissist behavior
@@greyfox4838she came across so angry and passive aggressive 😂 silly goose 🤪
The bar for youtuber apologies was set so, so astronomically low that it's practically a tripping hazard in hell, yet here Colleen is, limbo dancing with the devil.
This is poetry lmao
The unhinged former theater kid energy is off the charts with this woman.
"There's no quicker way for people to think that you are diddling kids than by writing a song about it" - Mac, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Omg just searched up that clip… why do I feel like that was exactly how her meeting with her team went?
That was my first thought seeing this.
Do not diddle kids, it’s not good diddling kids! Wouldn’t do it with anyone younger than my daughter! Gotta be big! Older than my wife! Older than my daughter! Something like that
I'm imagining even Charlie being all "well I dunno about _a song"_ while standing at a keyboard, mid presenting a song to the gang
she makes jokes about incest on her netflix show too this lady is like sick
This is why AI cannot replace human beings. Who would have thought that the way to address serious allegations of grooming or otherwise having inappropriate sexual contact with minor fans.... is through a ukelele song. Unhinged psychotic brainbroken behavior.
I agree that her response is bonkers but I was curious how AI played a part? Was AI part of it or were you referencing it?

that dance one was seriously unhinged. but colleen made some real contender
Its been gearing up for a long time. All the shxtty apologies merged to create THIS! YAHHAHHAAH
Colleen bringing up toxic internet culture only once its aimed at her, gives me the same vibes as men, who bring up that men also get abused in a conversation about violence against women. Like yes ur right it is toxic, but its rlly interesting how ur only bringing it up to defend yourself. Like where was this energy when Adam was getting harassed?
That's a little bit apples and oranges. Not every person who brings up the fact that male folks can get abused, too, is an abuser themselves. Many times it only gets mentioned because of a broad brush that is used to paint all men as predators and never victims.
Yes, it doesn't have to be when the topic at hand is about women (unless the perpetrator also harassed men), I agree with that.
Colleen on the other hand is an actual creep, manipulator, abuser... She is still doing it and is trying to deflect all blame by saying it's all just gossip and lies - while also saying it wasn't somehow...
FACTS!
well then it was her causing it, so clearly it's fine. /sarcasm
Same as the bourgeoisie
@@youytubeyI mean, she is a member.
Colleen’s “facts” were simply that it wasn’t her intention to be creepy. Because her feelings and intentions are more important than what she did and how it hurt kids, I guess.
I mean, it is kind of impressive that she distilled wealthy white millenial women's entitlement down to such a concentrated form. Not valuable or beneficial, but impressive.
Yes what is it about women meeting sexual crime allegations with fucking song and dance?
@@dangerbirb4981 Seriously. It really seems to me like they just get so infuriated that we can't compartmentalize the horrible things they did. Very "What do you mean you're all still mad? I'm cute and quirky and talented, remember? You're supposed to find me charming!"
@@captainnemo7690Not all millennials are bad,though.
This is the third video I’ve watched about this “apology” and I STILL can’t believe it’s real. My mind is reeling

I see what You did there, nice! 😁✨
banger
bars
I need this on a t-shirt.
Ur a modern day prophet
It’s like Bo Burnham’s apology video but instead of apologizing for being an edgy teenager, she’s just straight up NOT apologizing for committing crimes in her 30s.
Also, musically, Problematic is a better song anyway.
wouldn't it be hilarious if someone made a parody of her """quirky accountability""" song, but with the evidence and proof?
Adam did, it's brilliant
the fact that she is *36. years. old.* and is acting like this is just insane
“It was years ago” = like three years ago… also for decades leading up to the first victim going public so, like, no shot she fully stopped being inappropriate she just started hiding it better
Wait shes 36? I thought she was like 19 at a push, that's fucking weird 😮
@@alexanderadavar6439 yes, when all this actually was going down with Adam, she was 33. she has always been at least over 20, she is unhinged
Yes, fawning can follow you most of your life, especially with our current state of mental health that most people can't afford and most insurance won't cover, assuming that's what she's experiencing
@@healgoth What actual victim, I'm confused or haven't been up to speed....Grooming = repertoire (trust building) in order to lead a victim to A) A Private intimate location to physically meet B) genital exposure C) intimate touch with a minor....did any of that actually happen cause if not....what is he a victim of exactly? If he was a victim, why not just let the police investigate? Why weaponize the internet against her as well?
The way she keeps using guilt tripping words (you're all stabbing my boney little back) is outrageous. "I never manipulated!" She repeatedly sings while trying to manipulate her audience into believing she's the real innocent little victim. Talking about how she's "not going to survive this" all because people just want some "fun," I mean has she completely lost her mind?
Sexualizing minors and then trying to make them feel guilty for calling her out on it? Pretending everyone's attacking her for no reason? Evil.
NO EXACTLY THAT + ITS WORKING FOR HER FANS THIS ISNT TARGETED TOWARDS THE INTERNET TO FORGIVE HER SHES JUST MANIPULATING HER FANS INTO STAYING WOW
I was thinking that too. I know nothing about this person, but guilt trip people during an apology doesn’t help your case.
The best kind of gaslighting is when you go "I'm not gaslighting!" It's kinda a paradox that works for all the wrong reasons.
I’m finding the analysis from people in the comments superior to the video.
She lampshaded all the responses she anticipated people making but didn’t bother to counter them at all. It’s like “if I say people will accuse me of trying to be manipulative in this video, then everyone will have to dismiss when people respond by calling me manipulative”. Like, no, that’s not how it works.
I’m not sure “lampshaded” applies here since it’s not creative writing, but I can’t think right now if there’s another term.
She literally distributed prn videos to minors in a group chat. An actual crime and has always been a crime since the invention of the internet, so don’t tell us “ThInGs WeRe DiFfErEnT bAcK tHeN.” I’d love for her to explain that in itself.
But 🎵"sometimes people can make a mistake and they're still a good person!"🎵 /s. (Honestly, I can say I've made some massive mistakes in my life.... None of them have involved anything like that)
@@IndigoificationIt’s insane. I just turned 29 and to think she was older than me at the time of her doing that is just… WOW.
Let’s stop calling this an apology, it’s a firm statement that says I’m not sorry and I wasn’t wrong in what I did. She’s doesn’t apologize nor does she grasp the severity of how sinister the statement of saying that she shouldn’t be troubled by the situation and everyone else is just a gossip hater. Sexual assault is not a mistake nor should it ever be minimized or have a statute of limitations, SEXUAL ASSAULT is NOT A IT WAS IN THE PAST type of mistake!
30 seconds into her video and I knew she was crazy. You’re accused of grooming children and you decided to break out into song? A UKULELE?
Her EYES and body language looks like she’s having a rage stroke, she’s literally insane
For some reason I think her using specifically an ukulele makes it more offensive. The ukelele gives me a "toxic positivity" vibe
I always thought her character with the fcked up lipstick was kinda iffy.. I’m just more upset that I was right about her.
Its straight out of its always sunny in Philadelphia.
@@thestoneddogyooo it's literally something dee would do lmfao
god I hate when my creepy aunt asks me for ass pics at the family gathering
So relatable 😐
“I was lonely so I tried to befriend my child fans and treated them like they were an adult friends and talked about adult topics with them” YEAH COLLEEN that’s actually the motivation that groomers have too it’s still weird af
The whole "I did some weird things at the beginning of my career" is so???? She was literally 31 and had been on UA-cam for 10 years by then- even earning the title of an "OG UA-camr" like Shane Dawson or the Fine Bros. She wasn't exactly a newly made struggling artist. Also the elephant in the room that she never once mentioned her brother's and best friend's involvement in inappropriate interactions with fans either, but I guess you could chalk that up to it not being her sole responsibility for the actions of those close to her.
People: "You groomed young kids, here is verifiable proof"
Miranda, pulling out a Ukalele: "🎶Hoppin on the Cancel Culture train!🎵"
Looks like we got a train engineer here, woo woo!
Her singing about it being rumors and gossip despite there not only being receipts, but her also admitting in the song that she did it is pretty wild.
I, for one, cannot fathom why her legal team advised her against saying what she wanted to say. All she wanted to do was go on camera and invalidate her victims while talking down to them and creating a motive for her critics so she can dismiss them off hand!
Because there is evidence. She couldn't wiggle her way out about it. And the screenshots were a career killer.
@@angelacanedit hey uhh.. fyi they were being sarcastic. They _can_ fathom it ;)
@@idontwantahandlethoughonly thing they can't fathom is why she even made a fucking song to begin with lol
One of the things manipulative personalities do is act like your reaction to their actions is the real problem. The issue isn’t what they did; the issue is you made them feel bad about it.
You can feel her pushing down rage and contempt when she stares at the camera
if you gave comedy writers 100 years they couldn’t come up with a better parody of a UA-cam apology
Her OG “apology” was really just the first iteration of claiming the grooming allegations were lies. She never has taken accountability. She has never planned on it.
But if she's fawning, what do you want her to apologize for exactly? Fight, flight, freeze, fawn is just how your nervous system reacts?
grooming = repertoire building (trust building) that specifically leads to A) An intimate private physical location B) genital exposure or C) intimate touching with a minor, any of that actually happen?
Fawning= excessive people pleasing developed from an abusive upbringing, its the learned behavior provided to an abusive parent in childhood in order for the child to avoid the parents abuse, which has been maladapted into one's adulthood towards anyone and everyone because you value them over yourself, You have zero intrinsic value, your ONLY value is what you can get from others that will never be fulfilling because it's external, but as the person fawning you don't understand that at all. Had her fans been gamers or drug users she may have given them free video games/ free drugs--As it stands her fans were teenaged boys and what do teen aged boys obsess over? Talk about? Value?
She may overexplain (Like in a song)/ Overshare/ Trauma Dump/ Trauma bond into co-dependent/ abusive relationships/ use drugs as a crutch/ have gaps in her childhood memory/ self harm including suicide particularly if she's developed into borderline personality disorder, what's worse is she may be telling herself that her abuse was not really abuse at all because A) She doesn't remember and or B) Our society loves parents and in our Mother's day/ Father's day society someone who has NO Value realizing that their parents were abusers, and with the lack of mental health options even available today, she herself might not even know she's fawning.
So what do you want her to apologize for exactly? If anything what if he's salty because she was a fish in a barrel and he couldn't "close the deal" 20 year old guys can be awfully sensitive to those outcomes and may try to weaponize the internet and or go to the police.....(Wait, why didn't he just? ) I'm not saying there is no way at all that she isn't unscrupulous, but let's look at more than just a few actions and calculate what and why she may be acting this way
Source: I don't know her, I didn't even know she existed until yesterday, but at 5 I was locked in a car trunk for 10 hours for Christmas, cigarettes have been extinguished in my inner bicep or back to hide them better, every gift I ever received before I was 12 by anyone always had their tags removed and it was always explained to me that the gift must've been a mailing accident because I don't deserve gifts.
I don't celebrate birthdays, I joined the Army 15 days after HS graduation because I couldn't be there anymore, I will never try to love again, and I don't need your sympathy.....now take someone who has potentially the same or similar background and tell them the whole internet thinks they are the worst type of human possible---What are your plans if she reacts in an adverse manner?
Peace to you
…… She’s a rich famous person who thinks people she hurt/traumatized are just lying/gossiping about it. Not one person ever NEEDS to be a public figure on the internet, she can and should apologize and walk away from this career path…
For what exactly should she apologize for? I mean that actually fits the criteria for Grooming? especially if it's fawning? And to your point why did HE have to weaponize the internet, why not let the police investigate? Using trust to meet/ touch/ or exposing actual, actual genitalia with a minor is illegal....behaving oddly outside of that criteria is not....again especially if it's fawning which no body else is talking about
@@johnguzman7425 dude I’m not going to argue with you on the textbook definition of what she did, and I didn’t say the cops should get involved you weirdo.
she should apologize for being weird to kids and get off the internet.
I will ignore anything else you comment cause you aren’t arguing in good faith.
@@steakrappedinbacon Understood so in response when I say you, I mean you in general not You, as in you who uses Ad Hominem attacks then tells me I don’t argue in good faith before stepping into their I have no real retort but I do have an entitlement comments force field? But I agree she’s annoying, manipulative, and probably suffers from mental illness but criminal? No….Sick? Almost without a doubt-But why didn’t his parents intervene? Why does he carry the lingerie, or rather why is it not in an evidence locker? They are both horrible people, but being strange is not a crime and it was most likely fawning….I’m not arguing with anyone when everyone involved in this situation is horrible, nobody however has actually broken the law, which is evident with her not being charged and him personally in possession of lingerie from 8 years ago, when it should be in an evidence locker
Just something: her old video from 3 year ago wasnt an apology, she didnt apology, Jake Doolittle did a 4 to 5 hour live about it and her old video just says that Adam (the minor she groomed) was lying, turned the whole internet against him
And now this year one of ex friends who was also manipulated by her came out with receipts against her and said sorry to Adam for the things she said to him and did while being manipulated by Colleen
She seems to want to claim that she both did stuff wrong in the past and took accountability, and also claim that what she was accused of was all made up.
i truly cannot understand how she thought this was a good idea
millenial tuber brain
She’s clearly mentally ill.. I mean she groomed kids that just tells you how fcked up her train of thought actually is.
Look at the things she's "apologizing" for. She doesn't make good decisions.
I think she honestly didn't care and went against the advice of her legal and pr team just because she wanted to flip the bird at the internet 😂
Terminally online
i haven't seen anyone except one person talk about how her ex husband tweeted after this video came out. he said during their marriage he was always made to feel like everything was his fault or not as big of a deal as it was, so he really empathized with her victims. poor guy's life was this song personified for years.
Yeesh.
I highly recommend the interview with Johnny, another fan who was treated badly by Colleen and co, on the do we know them podcast because it gives a lot of very interesting context to his tweets
yeah i saw jake doolittle point that out and that made me remember her victimizing herself in that groupchat back then and criticising her husband
I’m glad you posted this cuz I’ve been really curious about her ex husband and if he’s had anything to say about this whole situation
so happy for him for getting out of this bitch's grasp, she's fucking disgusting
It's wild to me she is looking dead ass at the camera and alternating between 'i made mistakes I'm sorry I'm not a bad person' and 'i literally did nothing wrong everyone is a liar and this actually your fault 😡'
I appreciate that you were able to look past the ukulele of it all.
Something that made me deeply uncomfortable was how Colleen repeatedly said she "wasn't going to survive" this situation, either herself or her reputation or her career. If she's using survival as a metaphor, it's extremely inappropriate considering that people really have lost their lives due to internet harassment campaigns. If she's *not* using a metaphor and she really *is* worried she won't survive this, the people in her life *need to intervene immediately* because what she's doing is obviously fueling the situation further and that's a very dangerous spiral if she's sincerely in that vulnerable place.
None of the above is meant to excuse her actions, including the way she claims she "took accountability" as a blunt instrument to avoid criticism. (It's like when somebody says, "I apologized, how dare you still be mad at me!" If your apology is sincere and you're actually sorry, you should understand that the other person has a right to be upset) But if somebody's life is in danger I think that takes precedence and if it's not, that's a fucked up thing to imply in your ukulele song. I don't know, it's messy, I guess...

"There is no quicker way for people to think that you are diddling kids than by writing a song about it."
- Mac
the key to this video’s hypnotic quality is the sheer unashamed egotism. she is flexing her musical ability to stroke her own ego while she outright denies - and her sole focus is on the fact that people perceive her as a bad person. not the suffering she inflicted on others, but that other people dare not forgive her, dare dislike her, dare disobey her. sickening and chilling tbch.

sis thought she could apologize by singing like those Disney villains. 💀💀💀
This is beyond insulting to the potential victims and so annoying at the same time
agreed.
Yes.
No literally it’s giving theater kid but amped up 1000000%
I have never seen anything so widely condemned as this dumpsterfire of an "apology".
I watched her video with that boy on stage and was legitimately shocked that was allowed to happen.
As a father to a young boy I think this woman is a gd menace.
Sienna Mae’s team gotta be jumping for joy right now because her apology video finally isn’t the worst one
I can't think of a faster way to convince people that you groom children than making a song about how you're not a groomer.
It's a worse version of the "I don't diddle kids" song.
oh my god you're right, she's doing an iasip plot irl
I always thought she was weird, and the Miranda character was literally never funny. I'm not sure why she was so popular.
Because children liked "Random XD" humor and the character had semi-adult humor (inappropriate but not mature) and it made them feel like they were more mature for watching it
I remember my friend showing me one of her videos in high school and it was one of those *awkwardly wait for the video to end* moments, I literally forgot she existed from then til now lmao
I've always thought she was cringey as hell. Every youtuber I've disliked has turned out to be a creep. Hm.
The only thing I liked her in was Todrick Hall's Beauty and the Beat Boots but then it turns out Todrick Hall is also an out-of-touch jerk I guess, so... cool.
I tire of influencers who deflect accountability with "this is what's wrong with society today" rhetoric.
Shes saying "yeah i sent those messages but it wasnt like you think" but also "adam is a liar" you cant have both!!! If she sent those messages then adam is not lying.
This reminds me of the time Brittany Simon was accused of being a TERF and she responded by making a song about how she's 'not a feminist'.
To be fair, you can't be a TERF if you're not a feminist. It's just called being a transphobe at that point.
That's hilarious in a weird way - "I'm not a TERF because I'm *not a feminist* not because I actually do support transgender people"
“I hate all women equally 😡”
When she says she made mistakes but also allegations are lies without specifics is insane
Nothing says 'I'm taking this seriously' like busting out the goofiest instrument
She’s acting like she accidentally said the f word at a family event 😂 girl you were a fully functioning adult when you made the “naive mistake” to talk dirty with kids
Making a mistake doesn't make you a horrible person, but not apologizing or changing or owning up to it does. Mistakes are natural but we are supposed to learn from them, and she clearly didn't learn anything.
that's the way I look at things too. Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone has a different starting point in life (i.e. we are products of our environment). As long as someone is making a genuine effort to be a better person than they were yesterday and actually learn from their mistakes, that's a good person in my book.
It makes me sad that so many people (especially in the U.S. for some reason, I think it's that whole hyper-individualism thing) are basically completely incapable of admitting they were wrong because they're so emotionally fragile (I suppose our lack of accessible, affordable mental health care also factors in, huh?). There are millions of people who go basically their _entire lives_ never growing as a person. Can you imagine that!? Can you imagine being the exact same person you were when you graduated high school? What a truly chilling thought 😬
There's also some things that I feel like fall squarely into the category of "not a mistake". Stuff like grooming, which requires so much forethought and intent that you can't really say you made a mistake, so even then, apologizing might not be enough.
Grooming isn’t a mistake. It’s an intentional act that takes time and is very obviously wrong and something that will cause backlash.
@@barleyteaa true, I've had it happen to me
@@barleyteaa Well by definition it is a mistake. I think you're confusing mistake with accident which nobody would claim grooming to be
This is unreal. She did that think that main characters do in disney movies where they cant speak on smth so they say they ll SING
she thought the "toxic gossip train" line was SO clever 💀
She didn’t even acknowledge what she did even tho there’s video evidence💀 she just said people liked to spread misinformation
when that white woman picked up a ukulele at the start of an APOLOGY for accusations of GROOMING
I don't understand how picking up a ukulele as a white woman relates to grooming. Is there a meme or something? I genuinely don't see the connection. People are voting your comment up so there has to be something that I'm not aware of.
@@Kyarrixecause it's a serious matter, yet she begins her "apology" with a jolly thing like playing the ukulele. She groomed kids, moron.
and they say white people have no culture smh...
@@Kyarrix if u dont get it it's not for u dont worry abt it lol
@@fatumamamamamama Yes but I'm curious now. Am I going to find something horrible if I look it up?
Is it even an apology? Half of it is her telling people that they’re trying to destroy her based on lies and misinformation and saying we’re just having fun
There was like 15 seconds of an apology that I'm sure wasn't genuine but was still an apology, she's like "I made mistakes when I was younger because I thought I was just having fun" but yeah the rest of it is just like "you guys are just trying to baselessly cancel me for your own amusement >:[ " If she hadn't sung this and had solely made this just the beginning part where she was just like "Yes I did stuff like send underwear to fans and ask fun questions because I thought it was a fun and quirky and relatable way to interact with my fans, I realize now that was stupid, I'm sorry" that would've been fine. People would still hate her but that would've been an okay apology.
99% of this song is her just saying everyone else is terrible, I wouldn't call it an apology video just based on the few seconds of an actual apology that's in it.
One of the things about this that a lot of people skip over is that she’s saying she didn’t know about setting boundaries early in her career, but this was happening until *three* years ago. She was already well established within and outside of YT for a long time at that point. She definitely knew better.
I find it funny her chorus is "toxic gossip train" considering one of the allegations includes that she was absolutely obsessed with gossip sites. There's even a clip of Shane Dawson talking about how gossip crazy she was!
Imagine a content creator being so out of touch with reality when dealing with accusations of inappropriate behavior with their young audience. That they thought whipping out a fucking ukulele to sing an apology was a good idea. You can’t make this stuff up and it’s still baffling to see.
'You accuse me of being inappropriate? Oh I'll show you inappropriate!'
Golden content 👨💻
the amount of commentary content I’ve consumed because of her stupid song is actually impressive and I’m so glad you made a video 🙏🏼
Literally all my fave commentators have been coming out of the woodworks today. I’ve even discovered some new ones🤣
Maybe this is too parasocial of me, but I appreciate your disclaimer at the end about you not being manic. I'm bipolar as well, and seeing you upload 3 days in a row set off little alarm bells for me. Not that I'm complaining, your content is always top notch 👍
This is for her child fans. No one else. Retention and a middle finger to anyone who has called out her nasty behavior.
Imagine if you did that in real life, to someone's face. You fucked up at work, idk you ran over your co-worker with a forklift and you go "Even though the rest of the crew has told me to STFU, I hear you, and I will answer your criticism with a snazzy track." And somehow this is worse. Somehow. This is just a fuck you to her victims.
THIS! If anyone ever made rumors (In her case not rumors) of me groming children… I’d be scared af and genuinely take it 1000% seriously to show I’m not guilty and see perhaps what made the victims feel that etc but she legit was like… nah eff them
@@glutenfreetaquito562Bitsh said, "I'm sorry you didn't like it but PG13 means groomies for me!" 😭
@@glutenfreetaquito562 As a parent of a 2 year old it just angers and terrifies me that Colleen is starting the cycle over again with her own kids. It's just vile.
I want to explode and die. How has it become such a light hearted event when it comes to allegations regarding sexually assaulting children. Like, it keeps happening
"People make mistakes and you should instantly forgive them. Also, everything is just rumours and lies."
Yep, that sure sounds like "taking accountablity."
I don't think she's an actual PDF file, or anything. But when your fans are minors, you really should have some pretty strict boundaries, like not being in group chats with them, or very strictly moderating it, so that there is no inappropriate behaviour.
Not saying you CAN'T be friends with fans, but there is a very clear power dynamic in play, and you need to keep that in mind.
When I was younger (like 18 to mid-20s), I was in various game-specific group chats with a bunch of people we grouped with well, in-game. It was a thing. And we became friends with a decent number of them, and carried them over to other games that we played. Some of them jokingly called me grandma, because I was one of the oldest people in the group.
When one of them would end up hitting on me, I would give them one warning. "You're like my little bro, and this is really inappropriate. If you keep this up, I will have to block you." I only ended up having to block a few people, in all of that time.
But, y'know, I bet their parents REALLY wouldn't have approved of that kind of talk, and it puts me in a really awkward position, being the ADULT. As the ADULT, I had to be the one to take responsibility, and distance myself, if necessary.
i think it is really funny that she only knows how to play one chord LMAO
The smaller strings are easier to manipulate

I love how all my favourite commentary UA-camrs are coming together just because of this awful apology, it’s great.
I’ve seen greenisnotnick, gabi belle, film cooper, and this one. I also saw that Hasan just posted and cruel world, happy mind. Did I miss anyone? 😂
Ikr, it's beautiful 🥺

She had to come up with the song, set the tripod and camera, press record, probably record 3 or 4 takes, edit it and than upload the video and at no point in this process did she think “This is a dumb idea let me just take accountability for my actions”
Colleen couldn't find a tiny violin so she played a uke for her victims instead
Yeah this just proves how immature and emotionally stunted she is and 100% makes her look more like a groomer 😂
Tonedeaf: The Musical
I can tell she's genuinely apologetic and will never do anything like that again.
🙄
2:46 THAT it’s so contrived. Like her persona has always been highly curated and I’m not talking about Miranda, I’m talking about Colleen. The only time she appears authentic is when she’s being creepy, racist, or mean. But that face? The puppy dog eyes, the “gosh-guys” pursed lipped smile, and the “I’m-sorry-for-being-the-real-victim-here” eyebrow raise is so smug-…I can’t. Like she’s always been exhausting but she’s escalated to insufferable. I want to watch videos on this but I find her so unnerving I literally cringe at her every movement in this “apology.” She makes my skin crawl.
"r kelly style" i am dead and gone
“Sorry but my fans have bad parents and I’m just a weird little boney guy 😜” girl no this is so not it
She and that lady who did an interpretive dance about her sexual assault allegations should really do a collab.
This apology is so funny not just because of the uke but also because her response is just “nuh uh. You guys are meanies”
🎶 “He didn’t say I couldn’t singgg!” 🎶
She's acting like this is a movie. And after her song is done there will be a moment of silence, then one person is gonna stand up, slowly clapping, and the rest of the crowd gradually joins in. Then everything resolves itself and the credits roll.
I honestly don't think the apology would be all that bad if it wasn't in song form. Like sure, I buy her bit about being the weird aunt. I'd hope she'd do more to make it up to the people she overstepped boundaries with though.
Can you imagine doing this after making any other kind of mistake? Like police approach me at the mall and ask me to empty my pockets. So I pull out my ukulele and start singing "I didn't steal those scrunchies~ from the Claire's~"
Weird aunt? Oh please.
@@ihaveanaceupmysleeveandits1611 I just mean that I think what she did was more of an attempt to be "hip with the kids" rather than being motivated to groom minors into a sexual relationship. I still think she's in the wrong and needs to do better.
Colleen in her song: "I made a mistake, but I'm trying to get better so dont get angry at me"
Also Colleen: "All the allegations are false, I did nothing wrong. Anyone who brings it up is just chasing clout"
"I would never make a mistake like that?" Uh... Yeah? I think it's safe to say that none of us would make the goofy silly mistake of grooming minors and exploit a kid, I don't know, child labor and grooming and victim blaming doesn't seem like a goofy misstep buuuut.... What do I know?
No joke, this is legit the fifth video I’ve watched about Colleen’s apology today. Still excited to watch someone react again 😂🤠
Edit: The song is actually really catchy 😩 my sister and I keep humming it… still a bad apology though 🫤
SAME
Toxic gooossip traaaain
I hate that I keep catching myself singing it 😫
At least I'm not the only one.
Too bad the reason for it's existence is so shitty. Imagine if it was a parody by a way better person.
Yeah a narcissist would never write a quirky ukelele "apology" video. Thats not attention seeking behavior.
I "love" when people say, "I took accountability" as if _they_ get to determine what accountability looks like and whether they've done enough to make up for what they did. The thing is, taking accountability means accepting direction from the people you've harmed and disappointed. It means recognizing that the trauma you've caused may last a lifetime and it will never be completely in your past. It means accepting that some people will never forgive you, but you want change because it's the right thing to do, not because you want everyone to like you. It's HARD. But, paradoxically, if you can do it, you will feel like a burden has been lifted. It takes more energy to convince people you are a good person than to just be a good person.
The only time she says “sorry” is in the line where she says “sorry, I’m not going to go that route” where the previous line is something like I’m sure you’d prefer that I take 100% responsibility… condescending response to SERIOUS allegations from a creepy almost 40 year old person.
