ie the lingerie. You should send that shxt out to a lab to see if she wore it first before sending it to you as a minor which would be 10x's more pr3datory on Colleen's part IMO.
Sitting here as a 40 year old Mum, and an abuse survivour, and hearing an adult say 'Yes, they were 14 but they kept begging for it.' Makes me so sick to my stomach in so many ways I can't count them.
H3 hiring Olivia quite literally the biggest W. She brings such a unique perspective to the crew. Her powerpoints are my favorite recent segments. Love you Adam 🫶❤️
I just want to say how great it is that every time someone says ‘I love you’ or ‘we love you’ to Adam, his response is ‘thank you’. He keeps the professional distance and sets an example to creators about how to prevent dangerous parasocial relationships
That’s what I’ve been saying?!! I’d be single the next day … Erik seemed to say nicely that he always came off just put back by her, but clearly loves her but seems always off just his reactions to her. As an “og fan” 16-26 less so this last few years but some of this doesn’t shock me and some of hope the family (ballingers) some immediate jail time 🙄🤢🤮
I secretly think this is happening & that’s why she hasn’t spoken out yet… only logical explanation I can come up with for her not speaking for 3 weeks
@@jensurfav @joebob195 cheating isn't illegal. which doesn't make it on the same level at all. there are many intricacies of a relationship between two consenting adults. with children, there's a clear boundary of what is ok and what is not.
@majordamage4202 well it's all opinions 🤷♀️ Honestly getting into it deeper than a quick comment I think cheating isn't black and white, and how I would feel about someone who cheated would depend entirely on circumstances. Not nice could be an understatement, vile could be an overstatement. I think cheating is pretty foolish. If you're unhappy in your relationship I think there's typically better options, but I wouldn't judge without knowing the situation. If you just aren't content with being with one person I think there's plenty of people out there who are interested in consensual non-monogamy. It might not be the most popular life style but especially with the internet you can easily find people who are interested in supporting your lifestyle of choice. But for the most part I think something involving an adult inappropriately interacting with a minor is worse than an adult interacting inappropriately regarding their relationship with another adult.
This made me laugh cuz it really does remind me of exactly what the narcissists in my past would've said/done. 100% they would've deflected the blame onto some absolutely stupid shit like this that makes no sense. And the people in their inner circle always gobble it up and go "OMG YESS THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSEEE, FUCK THAT PERSON". I would not be surprised at all if Colleen and Kory and whoever tf else are all sitting there whining about the tRiShA cUrSe (and also Adam)
@@meowJACK you KNOW Erik is sitting there like “these people don’t know the real you, they’re just haters, just don’t even let them ruin your day, they’re just all online trolls” while Kory kisses her ass and tells her she’s a good person, naming all the charity etc she did, and how “good of a friend she is”. Even though it’s really hard to not like someone who pays you just to exist like Colleen does to Kory. Grown ass man livin with another whole ass family.
Trisha's curse isn't even this bad. Trisha would give head first into drama and make drama. She never had anything this serious Her controversies are racism which she slowed down on Drama too much to count Drug and alcohol abuse (apparently recovering)
I believe that colleen was likely molesTed by her brother when younger. Remember the book about all the bad things trent did. I think her also not acknowledging him at first is another hint at their relationship
As a fully grown-ass bisexual queen who used April Fool’s Day (“trolling”?) to come out at age 13, that Meghan Trainor tweet is nottttt a big deal AT ALL. Our community has bigger fish to fry, am I right? YOU ARE BRAVE. Nothing more to offer you other than infinite support ❤
I feel like Adam making that joke would have been very funny, a straight problematic caricature of a person making the joke not so much.. but maybe it's cuz I never really liked her
Olivia is my Queen, she really pulled out all the stops here. I'm glad they covered this - you can tell Ethan _wanted_ to, but was hesitant because of the Trisha thing... which is _really_ complicated given she's his sister-in-law. so, yeah, surprised they covered it _before_ they knew she ended her podcast with Colleen. was nice to see you in chat!
There’s been people that have tried to downplay Olivia’s role on H3, this was a great example of why she’s such a great asset to the crew. Her slideshows are my favorite thing, and I’m so proud of her for being so open and vulnerable.
I think them leaving her out of the PowerPoint and not really showing her being friends with Colleen is the only reason they did because this is so important for spreading awareness.
I'm 30 and I have several siblings around your age now and around the age you were when you first spoke out in 2020. The very idea of someone like Colleen taking advantage of them makes me want to burn the world down and I feel that way towards you, Adam. You're such a sweetheart and I admire your strength through this whole situation. Your bravery is inspiring. I wish all the best to you and to everyone else effected by Colleen's depraved behavior going forward.
Crazy to me that her original career plan was to be a choir teacher and she talked in her vlogs all the time about wanting to work with kids in like a theater and vocal coach capacity. She probs would have had favorite students and inappropriate conversations with them.
Lol that actually makes so much sense. Her ukelele vid literally made me think she would be a perfect horrible manipulative mean passive aggressive music teacher
also, i think it's important to note how an adult victim-blamed a child with the classic ab*ser slogan: "they asked for it!" and the public ate that up. doesn't matter the gender; it's very telling of the mindset anyone who uses that phrase has. justice for adam and all of colleen's victims.
You know your pet is comfortable around you and trusts you when you can pick them up and be trying to wake them up and they still fall asleep literally in your hands.
The Trent part might be the most disturbing. I am 35 and on the autism spectrum, so even struggling with social cues, I know not to talk to underage kids and especially not about sexual things! Wow!
@@highimleslie13 Agree, that's exactly my point. I just foresee them using neurodivergence as part of a reason to "justify" why Colleen and Trent (if they even mention him) may struggle with what's "appropriate." But that will extend to barely crossing a boundary or maybe a single bad judgment call, not something so over the boundary as talking about sex with underage kids and doing it multiple times. There is no excuse for that.
I hate that shit so much as someone with ADHD and heavily suspect I have autism (my brothers got it, aunts and uncles,symptoms are there) it’s such an infantilizing excuse to your own community
@@beyedoceven if they do, there’s a plethora of evidence of them saying stuff along the lines of «I know this is wrong », which would negate any argument
Absolutely. Speaking as a 25-year-old AuDHDer (aka autistic and with ADHD), with my peers, would I sometimes struggle with oversharing or accidental boundary-crossing? Yeah, if they're the type of friends who like dirty jokes and are pretty open sexually, and I just don't catch that they're not cool with something I thought they were, to which the response would be "oh shit, I'm sorry, I won't do that in the future. Thanks for letting me know about this boundary". But with CHILDREN? Fuck no. While I'm a firm believer that intergenerational friendships are CRUCIAL to development for everyone, because you can learn a TON from people both significantly older and significantly younger than you, what Colleen did is beyond just not okay-it's predatory. This shit taints the idea of intergenerational friendships.
I am a 58 year old grandma of 8 and 3 of my grand babies are teenagers now. I am sad to say the first video of yours I ever saw was the one about Colleen and it was happening in real time. I subbed immediately ,you are such a charming young man and I was sickened by what she did to you and appalled that she continued to thrive online. The thought of a grown ass adult manipulating and talking in any sexual way to my grandkids or ANY kids makes my blood boil. You continue to handle the crap that is thrown at you with grace and so does your poor family. You all are in my heart and prayers. Glad Ethan and crew did this. It's about time. Sending love from Wilsonville Oregon USA ❤
Literally. Like there’s a time where that has got to stop. Colleen is not only a grown ass woman, but she’s MARRIED and lives with her husband. Move on girl, kory gotta go and not live with you until y’all both retire.
Colleens current husband is probably fooling around with Kory behind her back. That's the only way I can see him putting up with him living with their family
@monkeywrenxhmoment7208 I hate that word problematic. It's so overused. To me Ethan is like a old timey ringmaster. Like how he picks people he sees as beneath him aka the "circus freaks" and has them as a feature on his podcast until either he or the fans get bored. And repeat. And he uses excuses and things he ALREADY knew about them as the reason to kick them. And it's like mean bullying. As I'm aware he doesn't pay them either. There's so many examples. Like bowblax, shoenice, jimmy Lee etc. Like yeah they are weird or lol cows but that doesn't make it okay. If Ethan was anyone else his fans would be raging against them. Idk just how I feel. Glad he's covering this.
Imagine if by deactivating her account, he would've spared her from all of this. So really, Adam... you did the right thing by letting Karma do all the work for you.
@ville__You have a right to your opinion which you are commenting everywhere. I do wonder about your life and what you are into as you keep defending Colleen and her family after hearing and seeing receipts for the things she and her family have done not just to Adam but to other minors. Yes, I do wonder…
the fact colleen based a character off faking fibromyalgia is so incredibly disgusting. my mom has fibromyalgia and i have AMPS (junior fibromyalgia) and it’s horrible. on my bad days i can’t even walk to the bathroom. i’ve fallen out of my bed, had my hands stop working so i drop everything, and have to use a cane for walking for long periods of time. the fact people make fun of these type of disorders because they’re invisible is horrifying.
I didn’t know she did this… I find that in poor taste as I also have fibromyalgia and it is horrible. Invisible disabilities really need to be brought to light in a respectful way so people can understand how difficult it is for us. I’m only 23 and sometimes I wish I could use the motorized scooters in Walmart due to pain and fatigue but I don’t bc I don’t want people to say things to me about me not needing it.
@@bananahpolkadotTry and seek out doctors you trust so they can refer you to a company that can get you a "prescribed" (I guess?) wheelchair. I have fibromyalgia along with a slew of other issues. I didn't think I'd ever get help from doctors for awhile, but I researched and went through a lot of them until I found a doctor that took me seriously and referred me to a place to get a wheelchair. You can get the help you need too :) 💜 It's a lot of work, but it is worth it.
Absolutely insane to me that back in like 2014-2018 Colleen and Chris wrote a literal screenplay/TV show about a weird p*do uncle...meanwhile they have Trent as a brother and Chris had kids at that point. It's such a common theme in their "comedy." ICK
I’m SO glad they finally talked about this on the pod. I get Ethan wanting to keep the peace in his personal life, but PREDATORY behavior needs to be called out. Especially when they have no issue calling out other abhorrent and despicable behavior. Especially when the PREDATOR continues to have access to minors. What thrives in darkness disappears in the light, so shed light on it all!
@ville__ “Adam knew right from wrong” ADAM was a literal child while Colleen was a grown ass woman. Shut the fuck up with this victim blaming take. SHE knew right from wrong.
@ville__ what is your point in this comment? I wont argue with you, but Colleen was a grown ass woman talking about s*x and s*xual things with MINORS. That's gross and not okay, period. Adam was a minor and received extreme amounts of hate due to Colleen's hypocrisy and the way he was treated by her was terrible. Even if they were the same age, the way she treated him was unacceptable. She's deceived people for way too long and hopefully you'll wake up and realize that.
@@Taylor_1227_ Sadly, I do think she can likely get away with it like James Charles ultimately did. I saw Paige Christie say the same at the end of her video. Colleen’s behavior was definitely predatory, and the way she has flipped herself into being the victim is insane. Actually, I didn’t know that Adam got ran off with his original accusations and video on her a few years ago. When I found that out, I was shocked, because I just thought people would naturally take the side of the minor rather than a manipulative older woman. I think it’s sad that it took three years for people to really back Adam on this situation.
I SO appreciate your audio! As an Autistic person with auditory processing issues, being able to keep my volume at the same level throughout the video is a true blessing ❤️
I dont think people are understanding why Ethan didn't initially want to cover this. It's because Trisha genuinely tried to ruin his life, and when she feels that someone is slighting her career, she will stop at nothing to ruin their lives. And because she has a podcast with Colleen and they are friends, she would 100% see Ethan's coverage as an attack on herself. She is literally a part of his family. Ultimately, I'm glad he covered it but would understand 1 million percent if he didn't.
@ville__they can’t screenshot it cause then it’ll be distributing 🌽 you’re under every comment defending them but don’t know what you’re talking about. You don’t have to be here, Colleen.
Olivia nailed this powerpoint and honestly did such a good job simplifying things without cutting out anything important. Apart from yourself and those telling their personal stories, this was probably one of the easiest covers of the situation to digest and follow.
I’m 22 and my cousins boyfriend groomed me when I was 14 and tried to SA me in my sleep. He did very similar things and acted in similar behavior as Colleen has towards you. It makes me absolutely disgusted and hurt for you so much even if she didn’t or didn’t intend to sexually abuse you. It’s still incredibly inappropriate and disgusting to do to any child 🙁 I admire your strength in speaking out against Colleen and I’m so sorry you were put in a position to discuss it again but you are admirable and it will help other children ❤
I am truly sorry you had to go through that. I hope you have been able to get the help you needed and are in a much better place now 💜💜 if not I hope you are in the healing process and I want you to know that you are also incredibly strong and I admire your strength as well! Stay strong and never give up!! 💜💜
I’ve literally been watching every video from you on this subject since 2020 and have been a fan since your original Colleen video in 2020. It made me so mad when papa gut said people don’t really care about you, Bc I and so many others are standing behind you. Very proud of you in a non para social way. ❤😊
@ville__ that’s a ridiculous thing to say. The whole point is that Adam was still legally a child when all of this inappropriate bs took place, while Colleen was a whole grown ass woman who should’ve known better. It doesn’t even matter if Adam “knew right from wrong” because Colleen being the adult should’ve kept better boundaries with her young fans
I believe there’s something in the works, in his newest video he hinted he’s “gathering information to prove malicious intent” which sounds like a work around of saying “I’m creating a defamation case”
I just got into this fandom, but I recently lost my kitty, too. I'm getting her ashes in a few weeks and this whole process has been absolutely awful. I didn't understand what was going on until I saw the urn and instantly felt your heartbreak. I'm sorry for your loss :( Chat really needed to just stop. Rest in peace Tyler and my baby girl Void.
I 100% agree with you. Olivia’s personal connection to the story made this coverage impactful in a different way. I also loved that you joined and shared. It was so good.
I really appreciated Ethan’s attention and engagement towards all this. Very respectful too. O-o-Liviaaa delivered.. as always!!! Soso glad this happened. I’m living for this unity.
This is Adam’s Joker origin story. In all seriousness, as someone who was bullied in high school by “mean girls”, there’s something about Colleen and Kory that screams “two-faced” to me. I was also a fan of Colleen (not Miranda Sings) during her rise on UA-cam with Ariana and Frankie Grande and I used to have this weird feeling about her, so seeing all this now makes sense. Rooting for you, Adam :)
I'm really glad that H3 and Olivia covered. I want to say as a 37 year old counselor none of this is your fault and it is so brave to come out. I watched your video in 2020 and I always believed you. She's getting off easy because she is a woman (In my opinion).
Oh it's definitely because she's a woman. there's an overwhelming amount of evidence and she's still walking free. A male predator would be jumped in prison for less. People seem to have this notion that just because she's a woman and a mother means she can't cause harm to children. She absolutely can. And has done so for years 🤦🏻♀️
@@CT-mw8lmshe may be getting leeway on UA-cam because of that, but let’s not pretend like big male UA-camrs who’ve done very similar things have actually gotten arrested.
I was never a huge fan of Colleen but after hearing your story and viewing the video you posted 3 years ago, it makes me so sad to think of so many people dog piling you when you were a literal child. I hope you are doing so much better Adam. You have my support 100% and I wish you all the best!
It breaks my heart what you had too go through as a teenager at the hands of your idol. It’s truly disgusting and straight up abuse. Your such a strong person with so much integrity for how you’ve handled this.
i remember when it was all happening too, (colleen and eric and josh dynamic and the whole hawaii vacation) and i feel like i was too young to realize what was happening- much like MANY things that she did 💀💀 now that i’m older and watching you adam im realizing sooooo much… thank you. honestly as a fan since like 2010 and i’m around the same age as you, it’s scary and putrid how i never realized 90% of her toxic and disgusting behaviors. but we cannot blame ourselves because we were children. ty for educating everyone and being a voice 🤍🤍
I understand it’s probably so disorienting to see your own face all over the media, just know you’re beautiful and so many people are here to support you ❤️❤️❤️
Adam, you are a strong intelligent and caring man . As a mom. I’m so proud of your strength , and can’t wait for your exciting future ahead . You rock Adam, don’t ever doubt yourself ❤
I know you said you hate that you're having to process things that you never wanted to process, but I think it's going to be good for you in the long run. I didn't process my trauma when I was younger, and it came back to bite me HARD in the ass years later. I know you don't want to have to process this- no one should ever have to process shit like this- but you've done a great job. You've handled this whole thing with a grace and maturity that most adults could never fathom, and this internet nobody is very proud of you.
hi adammm been supporting you for three years ! glad to see that you’re finally being listened to. love you and I’m so sorry for how long it’s taken i hope you’re well! it’s crazy that over the last years I’ve grown with your channel ! dropping in every now and then ((: Much love !!!
It makes me smile to see you so happy now. I can't imagine how emotionally difficult it was to build yourself back up after 2020. Even before all of this finally came to light it seems like you were doing pretty good all things considered, but it definitely feels like this huge invisible weight has finally been lifted off your shoulders and now you are absolutely glowing! It was a huge burden for you to have to bear for 3 years.
Just wanted to tell you that I'm very proud of you, Adam. We've surely all been betrayed by someone we thought has our best interest...but taking it up with a hateful mob on the internet is a whole different ballgame. You've gone through it and came out not caving and true to yourself. That is something to admire. I'm sure this will give a lot of people hope and strength. It's not just drama that you were dragged into and I hate that framing. I hope you can get some peace during your vacation, you deserve it.❤
I’m shocked Colleen and family new about Trent being inappropriate with minors, this is new to me! I can’t believe she allowed him to come on tour and be surrounded by a bunch of minors!! Minors who idolize and pay to see them no less! I feel so uneasy…
it's like a 50 layer cake of fuckery. then you start to realize regardless of if it's intentional or not, her grooming of the kids to normalize inappropriate and sexual conversations likely made them more susceptible to being further groomed by her brother and likely heavily traumatized since it genuinely seems like he is a pedophile.
I’m so bloody glad Ethan and the cast spoke about this, I was waiting for this video, and honestly more people need to know about your story and everyone else’s. Hopefully more fans or future fans will know to NOT support this women and the people around her. Love you Adam 💋
watched when you streamed this. I think Olivia did a good job. I'm glad such large UA-camrs are covering this. This undoubtedly will get the story out even more, in addition to those other publications coming out soon.
As someone who’s worked in SV and knows the impacts gr0°ming can have on children under the age of 25- Adam, it’s very normal and common to be struggling with your appearance, body confidence, having your image shared online, etc. This situation is so unfair for you and no one should ever be forced to process experiences like this- especially on such a large public scale!!!! It’s all a part of the harm that’s caused when adults engage in inappropriate and dangerous behaviours with children. All this to say, PLEASE know that it’s going to get better with time and care and things like therapy or self-growth or however you choose to continue moving forward with your life!!! Do what works for you, be kind to yourself because that negative messaging is so so impacted by the harm these adults have caused you- it is NOT your fault or responsibility!!!!
I have no doubt in my mind that Cory is a miserable person. I lived with a narcissistic borderline sociopathic "best friend" for a little over a year until I was able to get out. Whats wild about this case is that he is also equally as creepy and at fault for bullying of minors.. the dynamic in their home must be BEYOND toxic and I can only imagine extremely unhealthy for erik and the children. This is beyond codependent and insane.
Yeah I have fibro too and those closest to me don't even understand the affect it has on me. We hide the intensity pretty well, but since it's an "invisible illness" we aren't always believed. My first thought when you said the mother character pretends is that Colleen probably thinks all of us pretend
This was really in depth and really put together so well. I just started watching yesterday and I am happy you are able to persevere throughout this bs. As someone who has problems with body image and image in general, It really hit hard when you talked about it and I just wanted to say you look amazing!
I’m only 24 and I cannot imagine being friends with a 15 year old … like maybe a mentor but not friends and not in group chats . Like kinda a nightmare . I dont understand how she ever thought that was okay
I’m 25 and likewise. No adult should want to talk to a bunch of children and if something is making them want to there should be some form of critical thinking coming in 😅
anyone else find it interesting that since Colleen married Erik they would always talk about how they 'don't remember their anniversary date' and stuff? maybe because it was around the time she was filming the netflix show and they didn't want anyone to know she outright cheated on Joshua...
Adam what Colleen did to you was unconscionable!! my entire family that doesn’t even know who she is now knows who you are and her! They are disgusted!! you’ve always been one of my favorites because you’re so genuine and intelligent for somebody pretty young! Super proud of you. 💖💖🙌🏼🙌🏼
As someone with fibromyalgia. The fact that shes using this disease as a punchline for her show and it turn made this story from her bullying of a fan? Its vile. What the actual hell is wrong with her. The reality of fibro is a daily struggle and the awful things that keep coming out about her makes me believe deeply that she cannot come back from this. I don't care about an apology, she's just a terrible person and so is her awful best friend and creeper brother.
Adam I just want to say I'm so sorry for everything you went through with Colleen. I was a fan of hers for the past two years. I loved watching her kids grow up. I didn't know all the things she was doing behind the scenes. Had I of known she was abusing minors I would have never supported her. I hope you can heal from the trauma you have suffered. I truly wish you the best.❤
As someone who sorta knew about the situation (essentially I heard about it and only of Colleen mistreating you/not her respond) but didn't keep up with it as grooming and manipulative people is a trigger for me, I am glad you are getting believed finally. And I hope you're in a good place and are surrounded by good people like Xylie (I think thats her name).
Hi adam, what helps me a lot when i feel bad about my appearance is thinking about my family, the people i love, cause if i look hard enough i can see them in my face, and i feel better. hope that helps!
I’m sorry people have forced you to you relive your trauma, but I’m glad people finally are seeing how right you were. I’ve been subscribed from those days and never understood the reaction, how anyone could not believe you then. I’m glad they believe you now. As far as personal appearance issues I could tell you, your hair looks fabulous in the stream but I know that doesn’t address it when you don’t feel it about yourself all those words just sound hollow and you can’t soak it in. The thing that helped me deal with it is I took a picture of me as a kid, and pinned it to my mirror and every time I looked at my reflection I saw it, and asked myself if I would say the unkind thing I was saying to me to that little girl. It may seem silly but it really helped me be kinder to myself.
I've never been so early! "Enjoying" your reaction while i'm at work!! I am so proud of you for speaking out and continuing to speak out about this shit and trying your best to get the justice you and the others deserve!!
It’s taking me a while to get through these videos with work and taking care of kids, but every free moment (lunch break rn) I am catching up ❤ love you, Adam!
On a lighter note Adam, I discovered you without knowing your situation with Colleen. You earned your place in the UA-cam space, outside of this situation and I hope you know that 🤍
1:26:24 Fun fact, the tiki room in DisneyWorld was once refurbished to include was Iago from Aladdin and Zazu from Lion King (the talking bird characters) AND PEOPLE HATED IT.

As a millennial lesbian it wasn't ahead of it's time it was behind. In 2015 people would have lovveed it
People want to be offended by shit now
ie the lingerie. You should send that shxt out to a lab to see if she wore it first before sending it to you as a minor which would be 10x's more pr3datory on Colleen's part IMO.
her pulling out the ukulele to sing to josh is like foreshadowing for the events to come
The song sounds similar too, same key, notes, tempo, and tune!!! It's like she only knows those notes.
Her tryna solve all her problems with that ukelele and singing
@Lovely2291 those are the easiest noted to write to
She's gonna play the ukulele to the cops if/when she gets arrested
Watching him say "she'll have to release a statement or make a hit piece" is so ironic
Sitting here as a 40 year old Mum, and an abuse survivour, and hearing an adult say 'Yes, they were 14 but they kept begging for it.' Makes me so sick to my stomach in so many ways I can't count them.

Honestly getting into it deeper than a quick comment I think cheating isn't black and white, and how I would feel about someone who cheated would depend entirely on circumstances. Not nice could be an understatement, vile could be an overstatement.
I think cheating is pretty foolish. If you're unhappy in your relationship I think there's typically better options, but I wouldn't judge without knowing the situation.
If you just aren't content with being with one person I think there's plenty of people out there who are interested in consensual non-monogamy. It might not be the most popular life style but especially with the internet you can easily find people who are interested in supporting your lifestyle of choice.
But for the most part I think something involving an adult inappropriately interacting with a minor is worse than an adult interacting inappropriately regarding their relationship with another adult.

What’s sad? I’m POSITIVE Colleen is probably saying stupid shit like “it’s the Trisha curse!”… not realizing this is all entirely HER FAULT.
This made me laugh cuz it really does remind me of exactly what the narcissists in my past would've said/done. 100% they would've deflected the blame onto some absolutely stupid shit like this that makes no sense. And the people in their inner circle always gobble it up and go "OMG YESS THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSEEE, FUCK THAT PERSON". I would not be surprised at all if Colleen and Kory and whoever tf else are all sitting there whining about the tRiShA cUrSe (and also Adam)
@@meowJACK I misread your second sentence as "defecated the blame," and it made the whole thing a masterpiece.
@@meowJACK you KNOW Erik is sitting there like “these people don’t know the real you, they’re just haters, just don’t even let them ruin your day, they’re just all online trolls” while Kory kisses her ass and tells her she’s a good person, naming all the charity etc she did, and how “good of a friend she is”. Even though it’s really hard to not like someone who pays you just to exist like Colleen does to Kory. Grown ass man livin with another whole ass family.
Trisha's curse isn't even this bad. Trisha would give head first into drama and make drama. She never had anything this serious
Her controversies are racism which she slowed down on
Drama too much to count
Drug and alcohol abuse (apparently recovering)
It’s ironic since she kept on asking trisha if they’re canceled yet or not every day during their podcast like she was ready to blame trisha
Bless Olivia for being so vulnerable about being in the fandom

IM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED😭
When Dan said keep Trent away from the kids I died inside, he's right. I only hope Colleens kids stay the fuck away from their uncle
I believe that colleen was likely molesTed by her brother when younger. Remember the book about all the bad things trent did. I think her also not acknowledging him at first is another hint at their relationship
@@chronicinokla idk about the book and I hope that isn't true but I won't speculate
@ville__ oh yea the 13 year old was def the perpetrator not the 32 year old grown woman
@ville__oh so you support child exploiters??
@ville__Adam was a literal child
As a fully grown-ass bisexual queen who used April Fool’s Day (“trolling”?) to come out at age 13, that Meghan Trainor tweet is nottttt a big deal AT ALL. Our community has bigger fish to fry, am I right?
YOU ARE BRAVE. Nothing more to offer you other than infinite support ❤
as a bisexual trans man it really isn't a big deal. the response was so extreme
Lesbian nb here and literally I would’ve laughed (if it wasn’t the Miranda Sings account lol)
As a straight, I’m BIG MAD for the community because I’m an ALLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYY 😡💪🏻🌈🦄🏳️🌈
Btw I’m joking lol
I feel like Adam making that joke would have been very funny, a straight problematic caricature of a person making the joke not so much.. but maybe it's cuz I never really liked her
Olivia is my Queen, she really pulled out all the stops here. I'm glad they covered this - you can tell Ethan _wanted_ to, but was hesitant because of the Trisha thing... which is _really_ complicated given she's his sister-in-law. so, yeah, surprised they covered it _before_ they knew she ended her podcast with Colleen.
was nice to see you in chat!
There’s been people that have tried to downplay Olivia’s role on H3, this was a great example of why she’s such a great asset to the crew. Her slideshows are my favorite thing, and I’m so proud of her for being so open and vulnerable.
@@JennaEmbers yeah she is so good! point me towards those ppl tbh I want to fight them.
I think them leaving her out of the PowerPoint and not really showing her being friends with Colleen is the only reason they did because this is so important for spreading awareness.
Adam: speculates about colleen making a bit piece or a legal statement.
Colleen: 🎻 (sorry I couldn’t find a ukelele)
Right I started laughing
I was like Damn Adam you have no idea what's coming.😂
this comment actually made me laugh lmao
I'm 30 and I have several siblings around your age now and around the age you were when you first spoke out in 2020. The very idea of someone like Colleen taking advantage of them makes me want to burn the world down and I feel that way towards you, Adam. You're such a sweetheart and I admire your strength through this whole situation. Your bravery is inspiring. I wish all the best to you and to everyone else effected by Colleen's depraved behavior going forward.
THIS!! 🤍
1000%!
Can you imagine ever being friends with a random 14 year old online? I’m 30 and that in itself is so insane to me.
@ville__ so what exactly has he done wrong lol
Very well said. ❤
Crazy to me that her original career plan was to be a choir teacher and she talked in her vlogs all the time about wanting to work with kids in like a theater and vocal coach capacity. She probs would have had favorite students and inappropriate conversations with them.
The teacher that borderline flirts with the jocks fr
@@roronoa_raf2201definitely
She would definitely fit in a church 😅
Lol that actually makes so much sense. Her ukelele vid literally made me think she would be a perfect horrible manipulative mean passive aggressive music teacher
also, i think it's important to note how an adult victim-blamed a child with the classic ab*ser slogan: "they asked for it!" and the public ate that up. doesn't matter the gender; it's very telling of the mindset anyone who uses that phrase has. justice for adam and all of colleen's victims.
FRR
You know your pet is comfortable around you and trusts you when you can pick them up and be trying to wake them up and they still fall asleep literally in your hands.
The Trent part might be the most disturbing. I am 35 and on the autism spectrum, so even struggling with social cues, I know not to talk to underage kids and especially not about sexual things! Wow!
@@highimleslie13 Agree, that's exactly my point. I just foresee them using neurodivergence as part of a reason to "justify" why Colleen and Trent (if they even mention him) may struggle with what's "appropriate." But that will extend to barely crossing a boundary or maybe a single bad judgment call, not something so over the boundary as talking about sex with underage kids and doing it multiple times. There is no excuse for that.
I hate that shit so much as someone with ADHD and heavily suspect I have autism (my brothers got it, aunts and uncles,symptoms are there) it’s such an infantilizing excuse to your own community
@@beyedoceven if they do, there’s a plethora of evidence of them saying stuff along the lines of «I know this is wrong », which would negate any argument
Absolutely. Speaking as a 25-year-old AuDHDer (aka autistic and with ADHD), with my peers, would I sometimes struggle with oversharing or accidental boundary-crossing? Yeah, if they're the type of friends who like dirty jokes and are pretty open sexually, and I just don't catch that they're not cool with something I thought they were, to which the response would be "oh shit, I'm sorry, I won't do that in the future. Thanks for letting me know about this boundary". But with CHILDREN? Fuck no.
While I'm a firm believer that intergenerational friendships are CRUCIAL to development for everyone, because you can learn a TON from people both significantly older and significantly younger than you, what Colleen did is beyond just not okay-it's predatory. This shit taints the idea of intergenerational friendships.
Exactly
Hate when ppl use that as a big excuse….
Excuses excuses.
And???
Special need doesnt = dumb pervs
The fact that Adam only JUST realizes how much power he really had shows just how young and naïve during all this happened
I am a 58 year old grandma of 8 and 3 of my grand babies are teenagers now. I am sad to say the first video of yours I ever saw was the one about Colleen and it was happening in real time. I subbed immediately ,you are such a charming young man and I was sickened by what she did to you and appalled that she continued to thrive online. The thought of a grown ass adult manipulating and talking in any sexual way to my grandkids or ANY kids makes my blood boil. You continue to handle the crap that is thrown at you with grace and so does your poor family. You all are in my heart and prayers. Glad Ethan and crew did this. It's about time.

Hi Brenda from Wilsonville, I'm about an hour and a half from you 🖤
i cannot imagine the TEMPER TANTRUMS she is throwing at her team, family, Kory and friends rn
I can’t imagine being Josh or Erik and literally having to deal with Kory just being there EVERY SINGLE DAY. 🤣
Literally. Like there’s a time where that has got to stop. Colleen is not only a grown ass woman, but she’s MARRIED and lives with her husband. Move on girl, kory gotta go and not live with you until y’all both retire.
Colleens current husband is probably fooling around with Kory behind her back. That's the only way I can see him putting up with him living with their family
Colleen:context is everything
Also Colleen:changes the context completely
I’ve had my doubts about H3 in the past, but they really nailed it with this stream and I’m so glad they did your story justice
This is the show Hasan Abi reacts to sometimes, correct?
I was an H3 non watcher but I'm starting to be a fan. Ethan is getting less problematic and I'm developing a soft spot for him. Love to ❤ ADAM!
@monkeywrenxhmoment7208
I hate that word problematic. It's so overused. To me Ethan is like a old timey ringmaster. Like how he picks people he sees as beneath him aka the "circus freaks" and has them as a feature on his podcast until either he or the fans get bored. And repeat. And he uses excuses and things he ALREADY knew about them as the reason to kick them.
And it's like mean bullying. As I'm aware he doesn't pay them either. There's so many examples. Like bowblax, shoenice, jimmy Lee etc. Like yeah they are weird or lol cows but that doesn't make it okay. If Ethan was anyone else his fans would be raging against them.
Idk just how I feel. Glad he's covering this.
@@TheBrokeCyberWanderer He has an entire show with Ethan
Yeah. Ethan can be a dick sometimes, but he is emotionally intelligent when it matters.
Imagine if by deactivating her account, he would've spared her from all of this. So really, Adam... you did the right thing by letting Karma do all the work for you.
@ville__U r a clown
@ville__did your bff Colleen send you here lmfao
@ville__You have a right to your opinion which you are commenting everywhere. I do wonder about your life and what you are into as you keep defending Colleen and her family after hearing and seeing receipts for the things she and her family have done not just to Adam but to other minors. Yes, I do wonder…
the fact colleen based a character off faking fibromyalgia is so incredibly disgusting. my mom has fibromyalgia and i have AMPS (junior fibromyalgia) and it’s horrible. on my bad days i can’t even walk to the bathroom. i’ve fallen out of my bed, had my hands stop working so i drop everything, and have to use a cane for walking for long periods of time. the fact people make fun of these type of disorders because they’re invisible is horrifying.
I didn’t know she did this… I find that in poor taste as I also have fibromyalgia and it is horrible. Invisible disabilities really need to be brought to light in a respectful way so people can understand how difficult it is for us. I’m only 23 and sometimes I wish I could use the motorized scooters in Walmart due to pain and fatigue but I don’t bc I don’t want people to say things to me about me not needing it.
@@bananahpolkadotTry and seek out doctors you trust so they can refer you to a company that can get you a "prescribed" (I guess?) wheelchair. I have fibromyalgia along with a slew of other issues. I didn't think I'd ever get help from doctors for awhile, but I researched and went through a lot of them until I found a doctor that took me seriously and referred me to a place to get a wheelchair.
You can get the help you need too :) 💜 It's a lot of work, but it is worth it.
@@bananahpolkadotthere’s also the invisible disability lanyard. May you always be surrounded by supportive people 💚
I thought I had chronic pain from a sewer slide attempt but I probably have fibromyalgia and there’s no help for it. Fuck me.

You’re way more important love, than some dumb opinions
Absolutely insane to me that back in like 2014-2018 Colleen and Chris wrote a literal screenplay/TV show about a weird p*do uncle...meanwhile they have Trent as a brother and Chris had kids at that point. It's such a common theme in their "comedy." ICK
I’m SO glad they finally talked about this on the pod. I get Ethan wanting to keep the peace in his personal life, but PREDATORY behavior needs to be called out. Especially when they have no issue calling out other abhorrent and despicable behavior. Especially when the PREDATOR continues to have access to minors. What thrives in darkness disappears in the light, so shed light on it all!
@ville__ “Adam knew right from wrong” ADAM was a literal child while Colleen was a grown ass woman. Shut the fuck up with this victim blaming take. SHE knew right from wrong.
@ville__sure buddy. This all started when he was 13 and Colleen was in her 30s. You're delusional, he didn't do anything wrong
@ville__Colleen knows right from wrong. She’s the bad guy. You’re either a literal child or a predator yourself it seems
@ville__ too bad all the good parts of you dripped down ur mums leg
@ville__tard 🚨
27:35 It's like she only knows one chord progression when writing songs 💀
Glad people are starting to realize Colleen for what she is. Hope to see you playing more Sims 3, loved the livestream you did! 😼
@ville__ what is your point in this comment? I wont argue with you, but Colleen was a grown ass woman talking about s*x and s*xual things with MINORS. That's gross and not okay, period. Adam was a minor and received extreme amounts of hate due to Colleen's hypocrisy and the way he was treated by her was terrible. Even if they were the same age, the way she treated him was unacceptable. She's deceived people for way too long and hopefully you'll wake up and realize that.
@@Taylor_1227_ Sadly, I do think she can likely get away with it like James Charles ultimately did. I saw Paige Christie say the same at the end of her video. Colleen’s behavior was definitely predatory, and the way she has flipped herself into being the victim is insane. Actually, I didn’t know that Adam got ran off with his original accusations and video on her a few years ago. When I found that out, I was shocked, because I just thought people would naturally take the side of the minor rather than a manipulative older woman. I think it’s sad that it took three years for people to really back Adam on this situation.
I SO appreciate your audio! As an Autistic person with auditory processing issues, being able to keep my volume at the same level throughout the video is a true blessing ❤️
Thanks for being so brave to speak out. The truth needs to be told so kids will be protected.
I dont think people are understanding why Ethan didn't initially want to cover this. It's because Trisha genuinely tried to ruin his life, and when she feels that someone is slighting her career, she will stop at nothing to ruin their lives. And because she has a podcast with Colleen and they are friends, she would 100% see Ethan's coverage as an attack on herself. She is literally a part of his family. Ultimately, I'm glad he covered it but would understand 1 million percent if he didn't.
Crazy to think all of this wouldn’t have happened if Kodee’s computer never bit the dust
I’m sorry you lost Tyler. Losing an animal really sucks, with your reaction I assume it was recent. My condolences to you. ❤

🍅🍅🍅🍅
Olivia nailed this powerpoint and honestly did such a good job simplifying things without cutting out anything important.
Apart from yourself and those telling their personal stories, this was probably one of the easiest covers of the situation to digest and follow.
I’m 22 and my cousins boyfriend groomed me when I was 14 and tried to SA me in my sleep. He did very similar things and acted in similar behavior as Colleen has towards you. It makes me absolutely disgusted and hurt for you so much even if she didn’t or didn’t intend to sexually abuse you. It’s still incredibly inappropriate and disgusting to do to any child 🙁 I admire your strength in speaking out against Colleen and I’m so sorry you were put in a position to discuss it again but you are admirable and it will help other children ❤
I am truly sorry you had to go through that. I hope you have been able to get the help you needed and are in a much better place now 💜💜 if not I hope you are in the healing process and I want you to know that you are also incredibly strong and I admire your strength as well! Stay strong and never give up!! 💜💜
I’ve literally been watching every video from you on this subject since 2020 and have been a fan since your original Colleen video in 2020. It made me so mad when papa gut said people don’t really care about you, Bc I and so many others are standing behind you. Very proud of you in a non para social way. ❤😊
You read her for filth in that text and she is still to this day quaking. Slayed that dragon lady fr.
@ville__ that’s a ridiculous thing to say. The whole point is that Adam was still legally a child when all of this inappropriate bs took place, while Colleen was a whole grown ass woman who should’ve known better. It doesn’t even matter if Adam “knew right from wrong” because Colleen being the adult should’ve kept better boundaries with her young fans
In a perfect world I believe all the victims should come together and file a lawsuit against Colleen
unfortunately, almost all claims would be time-barred by statutes of limitations.
@@jilliansmaniotto2326 Theres no statute of limitations for sex-based felonies in California.
@@mudkipjuice what sex-based felonies were committed here? and criminal statutes of limitations are not the same as civil statutes of limitations.

I 100% agree with you. Olivia’s personal connection to the story made this coverage impactful in a different way. I also loved that you joined and shared. It was so good.
Props to H3 and Olivia for covering this so well! 👏
She will release a tell-all about her childhood s abuse and will say that it is what normal feels like to her. Mark my words.
She is going to bring up past trauma and talk about how she normalized what she experienced.
the way i totally expected this and then her actual response was a UKELELE SONG ABOUT HOW SHE DIDNT GROOM KIDS- IN FRICKING SANE
AND IT COULD BE TRUE… IT SEEMS VERY NORMAL FOR THEM TO BEHAVE THIS WAY…
I really appreciated Ethan’s attention and engagement towards all this.
Very respectful too.
O-o-Liviaaa delivered.. as always!!!
Soso glad this happened.

This is Adam’s Joker origin story.
In all seriousness, as someone who was bullied in high school by “mean girls”, there’s something about Colleen and Kory that screams “two-faced” to me. I was also a fan of Colleen (not Miranda Sings) during her rise on UA-cam with Ariana and Frankie Grande and I used to have this weird feeling about her, so seeing all this now makes sense. Rooting for you, Adam :)
I'm really glad that H3 and Olivia covered. I want to say as a 37 year old counselor none of this is your fault and it is so brave to come out. I watched your video in 2020 and I always believed you. She's getting off easy because she is a woman (In my opinion).
Oh it's definitely because she's a woman. there's an overwhelming amount of evidence and she's still walking free. A male predator would be jumped in prison for less.
People seem to have this notion that just because she's a woman and a mother means she can't cause harm to children. She absolutely can. And has done so for years 🤦🏻♀️
@@CT-mw8lmshe may be getting leeway on UA-cam because of that, but let’s not pretend like big male UA-camrs who’ve done very similar things have actually gotten arrested.
I was never a huge fan of Colleen but after hearing your story and viewing the video you posted 3 years ago, it makes me so sad to think of so many people dog piling you when you were a literal child. I hope you are doing so much better Adam. You have my support 100% and I wish you all the best!
Love you bestie! You're so strong for continuing to speak out on this and we're all proud of you :)!
It breaks my heart what you had too go through as a teenager at the hands of your idol. It’s truly disgusting and straight up abuse. Your such a strong person with so much integrity for how you’ve handled this.
Love you Adam!! I’m so glad you’re finally getting the support you deserved throughout the years. I hope you’re ok ❤️
I really appreciate that Ethan points out that none of this is the minors faults. The only person responsible is the adult
I'm so happy to see young people stepping up & speaking out about so many things that have been overlooked or deemed "acceptable" by old people
i remember when it was all happening too, (colleen and eric and josh dynamic and the whole hawaii vacation) and i feel like i was too young to realize what was happening- much like MANY things that she did 💀💀 now that i’m older and watching you adam im realizing sooooo much… thank you. honestly as a fan since like 2010 and i’m around the same age as you, it’s scary and putrid how i never realized 90% of her toxic and disgusting behaviors. but we cannot blame ourselves because we were children. ty for educating everyone and being a voice 🤍🤍
I understand it’s probably so disorienting to see your own face all over the media, just know you’re beautiful and so many people are here to support you ❤️❤️❤️
This video is a “comfort video” for me. This time was so healing. 💟Love you Adam! You’ve come so far💝💕
Adam, you are a strong intelligent and caring man . As a mom. I’m so proud of your strength , and can’t wait for your exciting future ahead . You rock Adam, don’t ever doubt yourself ❤
You genuinely made me giggle when you asked if chlorophyll was what went into a pool 😂 chlorine, chlorophyll and chloroform are so similar sounding
omg there’s a comment saying colleen doesn’t need to be shane cancelled she needs to onision cancelled. FACTS
I know you said you hate that you're having to process things that you never wanted to process, but I think it's going to be good for you in the long run. I didn't process my trauma when I was younger, and it came back to bite me HARD in the ass years later. I know you don't want to have to process this- no one should ever have to process shit like this- but you've done a great job. You've handled this whole thing with a grace and maturity that most adults could never fathom, and this internet nobody is very proud of you.
hi adammm
been supporting you for three years ! glad to see that you’re finally being listened to.
love you and I’m so sorry for how long it’s taken
i hope you’re well! it’s crazy that over the last years I’ve grown with your channel !
dropping in every now and then ((: Much love !!!
It makes me smile to see you so happy now. I can't imagine how emotionally difficult it was to build yourself back up after 2020. Even before all of this finally came to light it seems like you were doing pretty good all things considered, but it definitely feels like this huge invisible weight has finally been lifted off your shoulders and now you are absolutely glowing! It was a huge burden for you to have to bear for 3 years.
I'm so glad to see you getting the support you've always deserved. Hope you're holding up alright. Give the animals lots of pets
I met Kory in a target Starbucks once and it was the most awkward and rude interactions I’ve ever experienced
Just wanted to tell you that I'm very proud of you, Adam. We've surely all been betrayed by someone we thought has our best interest...but taking it up with a hateful mob on the internet is a whole different ballgame. You've gone through it and came out not caving and true to yourself. That is something to admire. I'm sure this will give a lot of people hope and strength. It's not just drama that you were dragged into and I hate that framing. I hope you can get some peace during your vacation, you deserve it.❤
I’m shocked Colleen and family new about Trent being inappropriate with minors, this is new to me! I can’t believe she allowed him to come on tour and be surrounded by a bunch of minors!! Minors who idolize and pay to see them no less! I feel so uneasy…
It’s literally disgusting.
i can’t believe colleen and chris allow him to be around their children.
it's like a 50 layer cake of fuckery. then you start to realize regardless of if it's intentional or not, her grooming of the kids to normalize inappropriate and sexual conversations likely made them more susceptible to being further groomed by her brother and likely heavily traumatized since it genuinely seems like he is a pedophile.
I’m so bloody glad Ethan and the cast spoke about this, I was waiting for this video, and honestly more people need to know about your story and everyone else’s. Hopefully more fans or future fans will know to NOT support this women and the people around her. Love you Adam 💋
I love listening to Adam speculate about how Colleen will respond, never guessing a 10 minute ukulele song. 😂
watched when you streamed this. I think Olivia did a good job. I'm glad such large UA-camrs are covering this. This undoubtedly will get the story out even more, in addition to those other publications coming out soon.
As someone who’s worked in SV and knows the impacts gr0°ming can have on children under the age of 25- Adam, it’s very normal and common to be struggling with your appearance, body confidence, having your image shared online, etc. This situation is so unfair for you and no one should ever be forced to process experiences like this- especially on such a large public scale!!!! It’s all a part of the harm that’s caused when adults engage in inappropriate and dangerous behaviours with children. All this to say, PLEASE know that it’s going to get better with time and care and things like therapy or self-growth or however you choose to continue moving forward with your life!!! Do what works for you, be kind to yourself because that negative messaging is so so impacted by the harm these adults have caused you- it is NOT your fault or responsibility!!!!
REAL
I have no doubt in my mind that Cory is a miserable person. I lived with a narcissistic borderline sociopathic "best friend" for a little over a year until I was able to get out. Whats wild about this case is that he is also equally as creepy and at fault for bullying of minors.. the dynamic in their home must be BEYOND toxic and I can only imagine extremely unhealthy for erik and the children. This is beyond codependent and insane.
56:15 Adam coming to realize his missed villain origin story. It could've gone so differently 😂
Yeah I have fibro too and those closest to me don't even understand the affect it has on me. We hide the intensity pretty well, but since it's an "invisible illness" we aren't always believed. My first thought when you said the mother character pretends is that Colleen probably thinks all of us pretend
+ ❤
This was really in depth and really put together so well. I just started watching yesterday and I am happy you are able to persevere throughout this bs. As someone who has problems with body image and image in general, It really hit hard when you talked about it and I just wanted to say you look amazing!
I’m only 24 and I cannot imagine being friends with a 15 year old … like maybe a mentor but not friends and not in group chats . Like kinda a nightmare . I dont understand how she ever thought that was okay
I’m 25 and likewise. No adult should want to talk to a bunch of children and if something is making them want to there should be some form of critical thinking coming in 😅
The only kids I hang with are my cousins, and that's just playing games like fortnite or roblox
anyone else find it interesting that since Colleen married Erik they would always talk about how they 'don't remember their anniversary date' and stuff? maybe because it was around the time she was filming the netflix show and they didn't want anyone to know she outright cheated on Joshua...
Adam what Colleen did to you was unconscionable!! my entire family that doesn’t even know who she is now knows who you are and her! They are disgusted!! you’ve always been one of my favorites because you’re so genuine and intelligent for somebody pretty young! Super proud of you. 💖💖🙌🏼🙌🏼
As someone with fibromyalgia. The fact that shes using this disease as a punchline for her show and it turn made this story from her bullying of a fan? Its vile. What the actual hell is wrong with her. The reality of fibro is a daily struggle and the awful things that keep coming out about her makes me believe deeply that she cannot come back from this. I don't care about an apology, she's just a terrible person and so is her awful best friend and creeper brother.
Adam I just want to say I'm so sorry for everything you went through with Colleen. I was a fan of hers for the past two years. I loved watching her kids grow up. I didn't know all the things she was doing behind the scenes. Had I of known she was abusing minors I would have never supported her. I hope you can heal from the trauma you have suffered. I truly wish you the best.❤
man you shouldn’t be able to even watch random peoples kids grow up. it’s exploitive. family channels are disgustint
I’ve been spite-following Colleen for years waiting for the karma to hit… it’s about time her BS caught up to her
Excellent presentation by H3 and Olivia. Influential and even-handed commentary by Ethan. Indisputable.
Okay if those other texts with Trent are real, police need to be informed and charges need to be pressed, and his PC needs to be confiscated!
Glad you posted this here. I missed 90% of it on Twitch. I hope you have a great day ❤
So her thin obsession might actually be about her dad's fetish
As someone who sorta knew about the situation (essentially I heard about it and only of Colleen mistreating you/not her respond) but didn't keep up with it as grooming and manipulative people is a trigger for me, I am glad you are getting believed finally.
And I hope you're in a good place and are surrounded by good people like Xylie (I think thats her name).
Hi adam, what helps me a lot when i feel bad about my appearance is thinking about my family, the people i love, cause if i look hard enough i can see them in my face, and i feel better. hope that helps!
I love how you tried to make fun of James Charles’ singing, but you sang too well 😂
I’m sorry people have forced you to you relive your trauma, but I’m glad people finally are seeing how right you were. I’ve been subscribed from those days and never understood the reaction, how anyone could not believe you then. I’m glad they believe you now.
As far as personal appearance issues I could tell you, your hair looks fabulous in the stream but I know that doesn’t address it when you don’t feel it about yourself all those words just sound hollow and you can’t soak it in. The thing that helped me deal with it is I took a picture of me as a kid, and pinned it to my mirror and every time I looked at my reflection I saw it, and asked myself if I would say the unkind thing I was saying to me to that little girl. It may seem silly but it really helped me be kinder to myself.
I've never been so early! "Enjoying" your reaction while i'm at work!!
I am so proud of you for speaking out and continuing to speak out about this shit and trying your best to get the justice you and the others deserve!!
It’s taking me a while to get through these videos with work and taking care of kids, but every free moment (lunch break rn) I am catching up ❤ love you, Adam!
On a lighter note Adam, I discovered you without knowing your situation with Colleen. You earned your place in the UA-cam space, outside of this situation and I hope you know that 🤍
Same. I just saw his videos I think in 2021 and had no idea he went through this

1:26:24 Fun fact, the tiki room in DisneyWorld was once refurbished to include was Iago from Aladdin and Zazu from Lion King (the talking bird characters) AND PEOPLE HATED IT. Yet the overall remained for 13 years until a FIRE broke out mid show nearly destroying it. Afterwards they restored it back to the original show and many fans like to say it was fate.
