An important detail that H3 team missed is that Ethan was reading an updated version of the article. The original got Adam's birth city and COUNTRY wrong... truly written by a journalist who "thoroughly researched the topic." This was also the only correction in an article full of libelous claims, go figure.
SERIOUSLY??? I’ve heard multiple people cover this and nobody has pointed that out!!! There’s no way this wasn’t some sort of plant by her PR team
Yes this is true look at adams video covering it, it was shortly after article released so mistake had not been corrected
@@Sarahkara1313they said he was from England which honestly was a huge America moment.
@@Sarahkara1313 A plant by her PR team? You can't plant an investigative journalism article in an established magazine. Colleen doesn't have enough money to get Vanity Fair to do that.
@@michaeldonnan6767she have connections with vanity fair for years. And the "journalist" didn't do investigation, he wrote an essay based on what the lawyers told him. No talk with accusers, he even didn't reach them. It's unclear how this author "reviewed" the screenshots. It very much looks like pr plant.
i hope they get sued into the ground for this. these are kids we're talking about. adam was a child when this happened to him, and they're somehow painting him as the villain. it's disgusting.
Vanity Fair gives legitimacy to the conservative conspiracy theory that Hollywood is full of groomers and child traffickers, and VF is there to defend those people.
Nothing happened to Adam.
@@michaeldonnan6767Colleen or Cory hii
I'm pretty sure Adam is in the process of suing. He gave VF notice to respond and they refused and the writer of the piece blocked him. I know he's currently limited in what he can say in his streams/videos
I genuinely hope Adam & other victims sue both Colleen for civil damages & VF as well & walk away with some closure, vindication, with monetary resources for therapy, & with their pockets a little more cushioned - because Fxck Colleen Ballinger & gr00mer apologists. She sent actual pxrn that was behind a pay wall for adults & forwarded it unsolicited to minor CHILDREN. She's exactly what her actions show she is.
Them saying "this isn't technically grooming" is like the people saying "well, epstein wasn't technically a pedophile!"
“Yeah, you see, his victims had already gone through puberty, so come on you guys-he’s not a pedophile.” Legit the same energy
"you see ephebophilia..."
Grooming has a goal. It's a means to an end. She clearly wasn't trying to fuck Adam. So what was she grooming him FOR?
It's really code for "they're gay, so it can't be grooming!"
@jackchop1576 who's gay?
BuT hE WoRe ThE UnDeRwEaR-
Because he was groomed? Because that was normalized in the group? Because he was a minor and trusted an adult that thought it was funny?
The people defending Colleen seem to not understand what grooming is.
And he was literally ASKED to wear it by Kory and they took a picture of that and used it against him years later 😭
AND he was still a child, a CHILD. The f*ck 😤
I understand what grooming is, but the more I watch, I do not think she has anything to actually arrest her for, so it cannot really be grooming, I would say she gave him resume experience
@@LuvableAF She did send unsolicited pornography to minors, which depending where you live is VERY illegal 😅
@@LuvableAFgrooming doesn't have to be sexual, and it's still inappropriate
i had watched Adam for a year or so not even knowing about colleen- he had his entirely own identity outside of her! this is classic victim blaming and i suspect the writer is a creep
😅😅 be😊
On Andrew's own website he states: "I’m passionate about teaching adolescents how to read great literature and write essays which reflect an authentic engagement with art, themselves, and their world."
In contrast to this statement, his Colleen article really raises questions regarding his 'passion for teaching the adolescents'.
Leaving out the name of the actual person, and reducing Trisha’s entire existence to being a faceless ‘sex worker’ was very deliberate. It served two purposes, to dehumanise and trivialise her, and to make it less likely that the average casual reader who doesn’t know the context will look into that particular aspect further. If they used Trisha Paytas’ actual name, there’s a chance someone would Google it, and find that they ***had a podcast together** and watch Trisha’s video denouncing what she did, which very clearly lays out how malicious her conduct was, and how disgusted and disturbed the person who’s images were used was.
Furthermore, the reason that claim wasn’t directly refuted is because they (being her legal team) know there is actual proof of this. Denying it on the record could cause them big problems down the line if it escalated further.
The whole piece is gutter journalism from top to bottom.
No. It's the opposite of what you claim
@@Earth3000elaborate, I'll read
The way Andrew was quick to run to Collen's team for information but not to Adam or his videos detailing the situation is very telling.
And when Adam reached out to him, he blocked him. Journalistic integrity in a new interpretation, I guess.
Or any of the other victims, like not a SINGLE one
She paid top dollar for that. IDC what you say, no one would write that shit without gaining something out of it.
Apparently the same journalist defended Kevin spacey. Deffo connections to the lawyer imho
@@oliviasienna-p9711 I wonder what that lawyer has on him to make him write something this bad 😅
What disgusts me the most is how they try to cover up Adams age here; "the then 17 year old accused; but she sent the lingerie/made use of him when he was 14!!!!! 14 years old; she met him when he was 9 years old and the lingerie was sent and inappropriate stuff happened when he was just 14 years old.. they just brush over it.. DISGUSTING.
Yeah when I saw his fan photos he took with her when he was younger that really hit home. He was so young and that relationship in its full context is absolutely relevant when assessing any of this.
@@gajoratte exactly; the stuff he claims is from when he was 14; got this info from his youtube he speaks about it; it shocked many just how young he was including me. his highlight was he didn't ask for the underwear (which he proved btw with a video of colleen and then husband taunting him and saying they will send it) he doesn't ask. BUT even if he had he was 14! and she knew this what adult sends their undies to a child? if a child now asked me for underwear there is no way id send that.. insanity...
The writer blocked Adam when Adam messaged him on instagram…super weird and unprofessional imo
The dude literally tagged Adam in all of this. I bet he had his finger hovering over the block button waiting for Adam to respond to his bs.
I love how this journalist and so many others who take the stance that what Colleen did wasn’t grooming not only show their ignorance but also reveal how they did NOT grow up with Chris Hanson like the rest of us. They clearly don’t understand that for many predators/groomers it’s rarely about attraction and more about power/control/entertainment. Additionally, Colleen saying she just wanted these kids to be her friends is also telling because of how many predators/groomers all say the same:
“I don’t have any friends or anybody!”
“I’m such a loser, I have no one.”
“No one else cares about me.”
👀
For real, these responses alone, coupled with the fact that she hired a lawyer known for defending rapists and pedos is proof enough of her guilt, without the mountains of evidence.
@@phishcatt 💯
theres probably 2 possibility: they all got dirt now being a puppet or they recieved big sum of $ to write this. she hired the lawyers who represent these kind of cases, already she is.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. They do have a scripted response of immediately showing no remorse when caught and then making out that they are a victim of the world and made a mistake. I still remember in the early days of that show and they would let a predator leave and after his speech about never doing this kind of thing again, they would catch them the morning after meeting up with children. So, it’s certainly not something that they can feel remorse for and move on. There is too much of a pattern, and they are too addicted to the power.
@@phishcattWhy wouldn’t she hire someone who is experienced with what she’s being accused of? Like who wouldn’t unless they were incredibly stupid? Just saying.
It disgusts me when people try to justify her behaviour by saying that she didn't intend to have an intimate relationship with the minors she was inappropriate with.
Because what she then is accomplishing is normalizing this type of predatory and inappropriate behaviour and leaves the door wide open for people who do have that intent, for which the kids are now accustomed to having inappropriate relationships with adults. Colleen's intentions are irrelevant.
Her intentions are irrelevant, I agree with you!
“I didn’t intend to rob the bank. I was aggressive with the teller and she gave me money I walked out with, but I’m not a robber-just socially awkward”
The comparison I always draw is manslaughter. Because it doesn’t matter what the intention was, the recklessness and carelessness of the actions hurt someone in an irreparable way. Intentions don’t matter. Period.
I myself as a minor had friends+30 and I never felt groomed or else 15 years later im still friends with them. This friendship is possible and there is not in every single case a bad intention behind it/ no predatory behaviour
I’ve seen fans of hers say the way she acted in her videos, in particular the running joke about the creepy uncle, meant that they didn’t realise the seriousness of the abuse they were experiencing IRL. It’s so sad.
Normalizing pedophilia to kids is sexual grooming. In many of her videos she made jokes about pedophilia and inappropriate situations between adults and children, brushing over the topic as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. One girl even said she had a predatory uncle, but she thought it was normal because Colleen joked about it. She is a sexual groomer to kids, even though she doesn't sexually abuse them personally (as far as we know).
“The scandal that is tearing UA-cam apart” okaaay. Not like it’s tearing lives apart of minors that Colleen groomed and violated 😵💫 whoever wrote this article is almost as bad as colleen
“Tearing YT apart”?! Uh…pretty sure 99.9% of YT is shocked & disgusted by Colleen’s actions & stands by the victims. There are hundreds of videos at this point about the “scandal” & they are ALL showcasing the depravity of Colleen & her painfully unfunny, weird a$$ character she plays. 🙄🙄🥴🥴
@@stargazeranemiac that’s what the article said lmao
Yeah, NO. The fast majority of YT is pretty much on the same page about Colleen Ballinger. 😅
@@hallowedbethymelancholy8299 right. I don’t think anyone is on Colleen’s side 🫣 I think UA-cam stands pretty United on this one 😅
Also, “tearing UA-cam apart” would imply this is a divisive issue, which it isn’t. Everyone hates her.
This article is ridiculous. How are you Not going to name Tricia in the article when she literally had a podcast with Colleen. You're seriously just going to frame her as a sex worker???? She's a much bigger star than Colleen and a much bigger UA-camr than Colleen . If Tricia is a sex worker, Colleen is a clown who works at children's parties . This writer is a clown and should be not allowed to make their social media private because they are sending hate towards public figures like Tricia and Adam.
How much did Colleen pay the writer to write this terrible article?
She gave him a gold plated ukelele.
I recall seeing many articles plastered on facebook around that time of her apologizing for “inappropriate blackface”, with no mentions of grooming at all smh
@@cbr274 Well, yeah. But those same publications had already written articles about everything going on before. They were just reporting on that bit of news at the time. This is a completely different situation. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
@@stargazeranemiac I’m saying that I’m sure her lawyers paid a lot of money towards pushing the story online that it was just a blackface scandal or something more forgivable, and not the clear sexually charged conversations with minors. I was seeing multiple articles like during the height of her being accused of grooming.
@@cbr274 That's because she wasn't trying to fuck some obviously gay teen. Grooming has a goal, usually sexual. If she was grooming Adam what was her goal? What did she want from him?
I still refuse to believe she had no idea performing single ladies with paint on her face wouldn’t be perceived as blackface. And that no one on her team saw the correlation there.
No, she did that on purpose. It’s part of the joke.
Colleen also did sexual grooming. It wasn't only her brother. Her ''daddy saddle'' creepy unkle jokes, among other things, have potentially made many of her fans unable to understand and notice predatory behavior. Her enitire content's [as Miranda] purpose is grooming kids to be desensitized to vulgar, abusive, predatory people and behaviors.
This is something that concerns me. Even if she wasn’t going to do anything to these kids, she normalized inappropriate relationships with adults. What about the next famous adult that texts them? How are they supposed to know when it gets creepy? It was already creepy with her.
@@halgaucher6730 There are ex fans of hers that have said that they were vulnerable and didn't understand predatory people and SA because of watching her ''jokes''. Not even celebrities, just pdos from their environment. I have to look into this more, but I'd be seriously shocked if there aren't a bunch of children with this experience.
@@phishcatt completely awful to hear.
This ,to me , is the big media making it seem like it’s less of a crime because she’s a woman ! I’m a woman and as a child I was ritually abused by the very woman that was meant to babysit me and owned a child care place ! It’s like what women don’t abuse children ????? This is such bullshit !!! She even admitted that when writing her book for “children “ , she has a how to draw section that she wanted to look like a bloody vagina. “Because I am a pervert “ was her response to her own question of “why did I do this in the book …” . I feel so awful for Adam and the other victims ! This is disgusting! If a man had been accused and I mean simply accused he would’ve been investigated and no fucking editorial would make light of it !!!! I appreciate and love you guys at H3 ❤️ keep doing exactly what you do !!!
I looked up the video where's she's talking about the part in the book you referenced, hadn't heard that come up yet, and hoollllllyyyy shit!!! 🤮
THANK YOU for covering this, Ethan!!! I’ve always thought Vanity Fair was extremely sketch & 2 faced after what they did to Kurt Cobain & a literal teenage Alexis Neiers. I’m sure they’ve done MANY more people totally dirty. This Colleen article is DEMENTED!! Going after victims that were all young, MINOR, teenagers for one! And then having the audacity to talk about there being no evidence or proof?! When there’s MOUNTAINS of physical evidence in the proof of text messages, photos, videos, etc! And to not even CARE or TRY to contact the victims for their side of the story (aka the actual facts) and ONLY tell Colleen’s side (lies & gaslighting)?! What kind of BIAS, BS “journalism” is this?! Vanity Fair is a joke for running this story! That “journalist” should be fired ASAP!!
You're hysterical. Please try to calm yourself down.
@@michaeldonnan6767 If by hysterical, you mean disgusted by what was done to children and pointing out facts, then you’re very right. I’m super hysterical. ❤️
@@stargazeranemiac Can you tell me specifically what "was done to children" that has you so worked up?
@@michaeldonnan6767 Sir, there are many, many videos that showcase all the evidence. I never believe anything without some sort of physical proof. And I always try to see things from all sides. I don’t have time to write about years worth of events. That’s why all of the videos are so long. Because there is sadly so much there. I would highly recommend Paige Christie’s videos on the subject. She goes over everything. And it’s all physical proof and facts. Like I said, in the form of messages (which Colleen has stated herself are real), photos, videos, etc.
@@michaeldonnan6767no fr is this Colleen? BC you're commenting on ever thread, on every video and you're the only one defending Colleen 😂😂
But he “asked” for it.
Wow. That’s not something SVU detectives hear all the time.
Vanity Fair has officially lost all credibility.
When did they have any credibility?
Same with Cosmopolitan
@@Dave102693 mainstream media is where journalism goes to die.
I wonder what her lawyers would have to say if the victims went to law enforcement with their receipts.
They’re here defense lawyer so they’ll actually have something to do
@@pixieinxcivil defense lawyer, it’s a different profession and would probably need a new legal team for criminal defense.
@@Ragnar_Aevarssonthe lawyer she hired is a criminal defense lawyer
any credibility is gone for them. they did this with either no research, or with bias against Adam and that ain't it. there are a list of provable things she did wrong, some of them i believe border into the realm of illegal. the fact this was written this way says a lot about either the writer, or Vanity fair itself. disgusting.
this is what finally killed vanity fair's cred for you
@@yessica4932 i did not like them well before this, my point is that if they had any cred, which they kinda don't, its gone now. not so much my own cred tho, i hate most news stations.
on the twitter thing: she approved that tweet at least 3 times. he even had to explain the joke to her because she didn't get it, and she approved it after lengthy discussions. she's so transparent
edit: transparent instead of transplant x.x
I feel so bad for Adam :(
Adam 22 will be fine
Adam Levine will be fine
This dude is fine. JFC he's a gay teenager. I promise his search history is much more obscene than anything Colleen can come up with.
Stop feeling bad for him. It's fucking stupid.
He's profiting massively off this, he'll be fine. What was the worst thing Colleen did to him again?
@@jayray1714I mean she exploited his labor and sent him lingerie when he was 14 years old. And then she helped orchestrate a smear campaign against him. Labor exploitation and unwanted sexual talk/ grooming is pretty serious.
You are right that he is doing absolutely fine in terms of monetizing this drama now but that doesn't mean any of his basic critiques of her aren't valid or that this Vanity Fair article is not complete b*******
The stupid article is so hellbent on the definition of groomer but the fact that she sent Lingerie and Trishas nsfw images to her fans and hosting viewing parties for said images means it was seggsual in nature and it is not only grooming but it’s the same thing Drake bell got charged for: Disseminating Harmful content to a minor. I’m amazed law inforcement hasn’t gotten involved
I’ve never understood her being obsessed with the uncle thing… just makes you think she was abused and groomed herself and she’s so broken and narcissistic that she doesn’t see any wrong in what she does but me personally I’m disgusted by her and don’t think she even needs her own kids around her… 🤷🏼♀️ makes you wonder if they are being touch inappropriately
Hopefully her husband gets full custody.
I absolutely believe she was abused. She grew up in a religious sheltered homeschooling home and those kids are abused all the time. It's the only way the character and her actions make sense.
@@puffball4484I agree, there’s a reason why it’s so normalized in her family , well it seems normalized imo.
Well done for covering this and letting more people become aware about Vanity Fair messing up! They really deserve it in this situation
How did Vanity Fair "mess up"? By doing well thought out journalism rather than running with the lynch mob?
this story is insane like i can‘t believe an actual journalist wrote this
Vanity Fair doesn't understand that "grooming" by the definition, is related to all kinds of abuse and exploitation, not just sexual.
Hello I’m really hoping that while you’re covering the Colleen stuff you could please call her out for being an ableist! The Amanda sings character is clearly based on someone with some mental disabilities like for sure on the autism spectrum.. even the face twitching and stuff that she does? It’s so wrong and sets a really bad example to kids teaching them to laugh at people like that. How has she gotten away with that for so many years.. it’s disgusting that she’s made a career off making fun of people with disabilities 😔I can’t be the only one who it doesn’t sit right with surely? I’m really hoping you see this and can FINALLY call her out on it!!!!
And apparently the intonation of Miranda is based on her deaf brother's voice. That guy is a problem too, but it is still pretty gnarly. My brother is blind and I wouldn't be out here bumping a cane around for views.
What Colleen did definitely fits the definition of grooming. She exploited kids and caused them harm, at least emotionally. Manipulation and emotional abuse can be very damaging, the abuse doesn't have to be physical to cause harm. She certainly fits the definition of online grooming, "Exploitation to obtain s*xually explicit images and videos", when she made the girl in the romper do a s*xual pose and caused her romper to shift, made the kids reach into her pants for cheese balls, wanted Adam to send a pic of his butt and in the lingerie she sent him (maybe over his clothes, but still- they're a minor!), and had the kids pose with tampons in a suggestive way. On the family channel, the kids would be in suggestive poses, like doing gymnastics, and p*d0s would comment and timestamp all those moments in their vids, so youtube turned off comments for their vids, but the Ballinger family got upset that people couldn't comment, not that sick creeps were watching their children! I feel like that shows they don't care about exploiting kids, and wonder if they may have been having kids do these suggestive things on purpose to appeal to, and make money from, child predators.
What’s with these weird Colleen fan bots 😂 every ‘positive comment’ is a faceless brand new account.
Total bots. You can tell because they accumulate so many likes in the span of a minute
Wrong.
@@Usagi393 Wrong AND unoriginal.
@@michaeldonnan6767oh look. Another account with a first name, last name, and 4 numbers supporting Colleen. And I’m not original 😂
@@michaeldonnan6767collen sent porn to minors. Find someone else to stan
Please post more on her. It’s never going to be enough
It doesn't really surprise me that they're trying to equate Colleen to Amber Heard , as Vanity Fair has doggedly stood by her as well.
Once I started typing out a longer reply I realized that, despite being two different situations entirely, there's a lot of similar personality traits and things AH and CB have done in their own defense that are actually quite alike. Huh.
I am a Colleen fan…
I never watched her Miranda videos. Just her vlogs. The more I watch your videos and all the stuff that is coming out about her is just so crazy and overwhelming. I’m trying to put myself in her shoes and make excuses for her and every time I do I think to myself “I would never say this about someone” or “how embarrassing”. I know that everyone is human and everyone has skeletons in their closets but if you’re going to broadcast your whole life and say the things you have said then have the decency to make a video explaining yourself. Take Accountability!!!! Not sing a damn song!!!!! Bah I’m lost for words.
It’s so normalized to her and she has gotten away with it before so she’s in a world shock right now
If you'd never, ever, under any circumstances (& I'm sure you wouldn't) seek out, pay for, & then send actual pxrn that was behind a pay wall for adults & forward it unsolicited to minor CHILDREN on multiple occasions - then that's probably why it's becoming harder & harder for you to empathize with or excuse her. Objectively that act alone is a felony, distributing pxrn to children, & is just... SICK. She's exactly what her actions show she is & I think that many of her fans seem to be grieving for who they THOUGHT she was & are coming to terms with it. I think it's important that people be open to objectively look at the solid evidence & I applaud you for being able to - some cannot out of some misguided blind fan-worship at the expense of multiple victims & potentially future ones.
Her content was the first and only time I had to tell my daughter she had no choice. I would not have her play Miranda in my house. After her 3rd time watching haters back off, she started acting like her and thought it was funny to sing “bad”. The content is insidious and harmful
i’m so sorry you have to be disappointed by someone whose content you’ve loved. i know it’s hard.
And this is why it's so important for influencers and public figures to make respectable amendments when they hurt someone. It's not just the victims who walk away confused and hurt, but all the consumers and fans who felt trusting of the person to be safe and responsible.
this is actually insane, who writes this article thinking its the right thing to do? this makes me so upset anyone could post this article
I would be surprised if Vanity Fair doesn't issue a retraction at some point. How can you write an article about a scandal without speaking to any of the victims? Who does an article on a scandal without even reaching out to the victims making the allegations?
I think they’re waiting to see how it lands, and then they’ll retract the article and fire the writer, putting all the blame on him. As if it didn’t go through several other people before publication.
I appreciate the fact that your channel is about the facts . Not leaning left or right but just using common sense and logic .
It does lean left though thank god
Omg not the fake bot comments 😂
The fact that they originally got adam’s birth country wrong is so fucking telling. Did the author even *watch* one of adam’s videos? Maybe it’s an american thing or something but i feel like you have to be SO uneducated about the rest of the world to listen to adam talk, especially in the original stop lying video, and come to the conclusion that he’s english. Like are you serious?
now that soical media has stop talking about it and moved on i'm glad h3 has not because colleen needs to be held accountable and her not responding after the song just shows she hoping this would fade away.
In a way the statement is accurate. The way we are using grooming does give a little more credit to the form of grooming they right use. Even though the way the right is using it is still with the sexual implication without the actual sexual improprieties being displayed. We are using it as in a form of grooming someone to be someone for you to take advantage of in a nonsexual way. Grooming through the exploitation of her power as a star. If she was just looking for friends, she had adults that would have worked. She was training someone to be her punching bag and assistant without the real benefits of someone independently choosing that path for themselves. It's all about grooming them to be the perfect little helper. So while it isn't sexual in nature it is grooming, but that use of the word does take away from the power of grooming as a word, so long as we are all idiots and can't differentiate the concept that words can mean more than thing
At the time of the updated version of the article, all of Andrew's socials had blocked Adam McIntyre and his "Author's" page on VF was down.
Did you all see her “Self Help” book from 2015??? Maybe you already talked about it but I just saw some excerpts and OMG
So they left out the “Cody video”, which was the reason for Adam to comment on her again, in the first place?! That’s convenient, VF…
It sounds an awful lot like Vanity Fair is okay with sicko's grooming kids.
Not sure Colleen should be excused for the black face, because it read as black face, she was most likely aware of that.
If you're upset by any of the unhinged comments defending Colleen, I'll give you a tip to help. Just replace "Colleen" with "Kevin Spacey", "Miranda Sings" with "Frank Underwood", and "Adam" or whichever other victim these predator defenders are slandering with "his accusers". Sanity restored 👍
Kevin Spacey tried to fuck a 14 year old. Colleen didn't try to fuck anyone. I think you might be the unhinged one if you don't see the difference.
@michaeldonnan6767 she sent porn to minors
@@michaeldonnan6767 Are you sure about that?
Colleen sent lingerie to Adam. She also asked her underaged fans what their favorite sexual position was. And she shared Trisha’s nude photos with her underaged fans.
Or you can use R Kelly as an example
Thank you for covering this.
Also...they give peoples ages left and right, excepts for Colleens... I think that if they wouldve put into context that a then 29y/o (if not older), social media influencer with a whole career that included international tours, gave her accounts password to a 17y/o, gave her lifelyhood, ppl could understand more why she was soooo in the wrong, how wrong that relationship was. But also, I think she paid for that article and that space on the magazine so 🤷🏻♀️. I hope they get sued.
I still think they should bring on Roo Powell to ask some of their questions about this topic & terms to be / that can be used. Her show is so awesome.
The article puts all the blame on Adam and doesn’t even acknowledge the fact that Adam didn’t start all of this, KODEE TYLER DID! Also the implication that Adam is responsible for the backlash against family channels is insane. People have always been critical of exploiting kids for UA-cam money.
It was grooming because she exploited his talent. He worked for no pay.
Her and James Charles must have the same PR team since both had oddly similar themed articles come out.
I can't know Colleen's motivations or intentions but it seems kind of strange that she could costume change from the witch to singing destiny's child without removing the make up. To me, leaving the make up on during the destiny's child bit seems intentional, whether she was trying to portray Beyonce as a witch or wherever.
i think one of the victims (don't remember who) says that even though the claims of that were false they also totally believe what you just said was true, that knowing her personality she likely did that on purpose to be 'funny' or w/e
and seeing the other racist videos she's done, i believe it
it may have been green paint but the intentions behind it were likely to be racist
if it were me, i'd wipe off the face paint right after the wicked bit because from a distance she has to know how it looks if she did this multiple times at multiple shows and has it on video where people thought it was blackface from a distance that SHE uploaded
By not naming everyone they are minimizing the number of individuals speaking out. It makes it seem like it’s one person and a few of his followers.
Did the PR team pay for that post or?
That and the army of sock accounts in these comments.
The lawyer probably did
Adam and the others should contact Cosmopolitan and tell the real story!!
Can anyone tell me which episode this was? I want to listen to the whole thing
If anything I would say the UA-cam community have come together and exposed potentially inappropriate content for children in her past. The black face accusation is such a non-sequitur that they can and will pull out time and time again to deflect from the seriousness of her other actions that are being uncovered. I do believe this is still tip of the iceberg stuff.
Was never on the rails
I’d argue it went “off the rails” when Colleen decided to respond to child grooming accusations with a ukelele song where she doubles down and doesn’t apologize whatsoever. Trying to defend a person who does that? It’s…certainly a look, Vanity Fair.
i didn't notice they used the kids choice ones specifically just to show how 'wholesome' and 'kid friendly' she is
wow, manipulation on another level
that's sick
Did the same person write this that wrote the James Charles article?😂😂😂😂
Bro my dyslexia has been so messed up recently I have to stare at words for minutes to try and figure out what it says 😂
GROOMING ONLINE IS REAL AND JUST AS TRAUMATIC AND LIFE-CHANGING AS GROOMING HAPPENING IN PERSON.
I believe that you are the only serious big ass channel facing this. I am grateful because people is talking about child abuse in a not cartoonish patriarchal way. I care deeply about that topic and I thank you for that
AH and JD were both adults, regarldess of what your opinion on that trial is it is NOT comparable to this situation at all
What tf is happening in these comments-did Colleen sent out her “weenie gang” to flood them, again?🤣
Thank you for putting this out there! Remember that this is publisher in the past has also defended Kevin spacey and Harvey Weinstein which shows you just what trash works there
I feel awful for Adam and all of colleens victims in this. They have been invalidated and gaslit by Colleen herself already. That non apology song was hurtful enough without this on top of it
I just want to know who is being paid by Colleen to allow these articles and who at the company has contact with her
Also, what they did to Kurt Cobain & a teenage Alexis Neiers. Sickening!!
So they probably have connections to the lawyer 🧐
@@oliviasienna-p9711 definitely. They must know that publishing this will cause backlash. There’s something in it for them, and it probably involves money and legal protection
@@stargazeranemiac it reminds me of the sun (a uk newspaper). Exploiting people for invasive and scandalous stories. The sun went so far that Caroline flack unalived herself . And they’re still doing it
Ethan having a hard time reading but going through with it resonates with my dyslexic heart.
but like adam said, even though she wasn’t necessarily doing blackface, it seems she purposefully chose to do the wicked routine with the green makeup before the beyoncé section so it would appear kind of as though she was doing blackface but could avoid the accusations by saying it was green paint
Vanity Fair doesn't even qualify as a legitimate publication imo. Their takes are terrible
21:44 speaking of her "book", that's another story to begin with. If Andrew Quintana had to mention the book to cite the source of her "green face" video, then I hope that he went through the book littered with pp and vegana jokes (sorry for the awful censoring), creepy-uncle jokes and associated pictures, FOR KIDS BTW, and still wrote this puff-piece. I guess, we now have another person who has outed himself to be unsafe around kids, ALLEGEDLY.....
Btw if anyone wants to know about the contents of her book, I would suggest to check out Rachel Oates' channel, where she has painstakingly reviewed both Colleen's books in detail (yeah, Colleen wrote 2 books for kids). Warning - it's crass, to say the least.
I’m loving Olivia’s Kandy Muse blush
It's pretty obvious that this guy was definitely a fan of colleen who is embarrassed and disappointed that all his fellow fans have put their morals and justice above their parasocial relationship and fandom
The only thing the lawyers updated was where Adam was originally from 😭
I feel like Colleen wrote this herself.
The Uncle. Yeah, the Uncle. I have questions.
Amber Heard was not treated unfairly and Colleen is not being treated unfairly. The reactions to their deeds are proportional in my opinion. There are a lot of people out there that I don't think the reaction was proportional to their actions and think it was just cancel culture run amok, but with these two women I believe that they deserve everything that's coming to them! This is definitely one of the times I disagree with Olivia. I don't understand how anyone could watch that trial and think that Amber Heard was treated unfairly. She abused Depp, made false allegations of sexual assault and domestic violence, she tried to destroy a man's life. She would have succeeded too if the judge hadn't allowed cameras in the courtroom, because a lot of the media is still trying to portray her as a poor innocent little victim.🙄
Seagully lound 😂😂😂
I love this breakdown of the article
i cant believe there are people actually defending her…
They keep saying what she did isn't technically "grooming" because she didn't intend to form a sexual relationship, and didn't get anything sexual/illegal from it. But weren't the kids sending her pics of themselves? Because she made a bunch of comments to them about how skinny they looked. Adam apparently wore that lingerie and sent pics? She was telling them and asking them to tell her sexually explicit things? And sending or showing minors sexually explicit content (Trisha's OF content) is a critical step in desensitizing child victims to make them easier to abuse in more extreme ways in the future. How is her behavior not grooming? Even in a technical sense it seems like clear cut grooming to me. And this is the sort of thing that can start small and escalate over time as the perpetrator seeks more gratification and continues to not get caught.
The people coming out with their stories about her now, before she escalates to even worse abuse, are protecting future potential fans. Now, if new young kids start getting into her content, their parents can look her up and see that these allegations were made. It will put them on their guard, and help them educate their kids to keep them safe.
I disagree on the amber heard thing because she was the abuser and Johnny was the victim. If they would’ve found 1 evidence that Johnny hit or abused amber, Johnny would’ve lost the case. But they couldn’t. Because he never abused her. There is hours of recordings of Amber on audio admitting to starting physical fights with Johnny and Johnny running away from her abuse & amber would get mad whenever he would run away from her. There is so much evidence against amber. That’s why the internet went so hard on her, it’s bc none of her stories made sense, they also found a few of her pics were photoshopped, and those audios of her admitting to starting physical fights. She was the aggressor. I don’t agree with the internet making a meme of the case bc this is a serious topic and a serious case about DV and it should never be memed on but there is a reason why people, a lot of victims like myself, don’t like amber bc now because of her, it’s going to be a lot harder for victims of DV, like myself, to get justice bc now people will think “oh you’re just a liar like amber heard” bc of ambers lies.
And I find it really gross how this writer is defending two vile women, colleen Ballinger (a groomer) and amber heard (a woman w a history of DV & abused her ex husband, her ex gf and her own sister & spat at her own assistant) and let’s not forget that both women are racists.
The writer of that article is horrible and clearly doesn’t stand up for real victims. I feel so bad for Adam to have to read that horrible article that is completely defamatory.
THANK YOU!!!!!!! I wrote like three different long comments about how much I HATE the fucked up "mutually abused each other" claim but deleted them before posting because I thought no one actually cares. I watched every minute of that trial and so so so many articles about it are no different than this Vanity Fair article, twisting and lying about the trial to form their own narrative.
I'm a victim and she lied and used OUR stories for her own gain.
Perhaps this author has a link to Colleen might be worth looking into? My heart hurts for all of those minors and Johnny and Trisha as well! She hurt many. 😢
she 100% tried doing what ned did on SNL except adams actually fighting back and i couldn’t be happier
Atp ethan’s just obsessed about colleen
This SCREAMS “Oh em gee I really really need to put something out on a medium where all the moms who pay for my tickets and merch can easily read about what’s going on so I can downplay it all and make it all look like one disgruntled fan got bitter and jealous and is trying to ruin my reputation because I hurt his stupid feeling.”
Disgusting. I’m 34 and could never imagine cultivating a group of child fans even though I know that’s where the moneys at. She needs to grow the fack up, admit her wrongdoings & take accountability, and actually APOLOGIZE. My only guess as to why she hadn’t is because her lawyer told her to so she doesn’t self-incriminate. 🙄
THANK YOU for addressing this
have you guys seen anna akana's video on it? she defines 'grooming' really well and explains how it is not limited to being sexual grooming.
For instance the word molest is often used with a sexual connotation but if went the bathroom and someone fucked with my bagel 🥯 then they molested my bagel. Now it’s not the most common way to use but it can be used to describe basically any kind of physical violation of a person or a object.
I don’t think it’s necessarily psychotic it’s just
A puff piece.
Which I guess are one in the same 🤷🏽♀️
The way that article is written so shifty😂
i dont know if anyone else thought this but in her apology when she says maybe they didnt deserve to die i dont think she was talking about herself i think it was her way of jabbing at adam for the death threats he got from her entire fandom in 2020 :/
Maybe she was talking about her dead dog… smh you never know with deranged people.
@@soude85 seriously there is something wrong with her when i saw that video i was like wtf
Anyone else notice this article either didn’t make it to twitter or was taken down because this would’ve been shredded to fuck in the reply’s?
they deleted the initial tweet they posted of the article because adam quoted it and everyone was tearing the article to shreds in the replies/qrts lol
I started a petition to get Andrew terminated from his position at VanityFair, not joking.
25:49 nah I'm not tipping no barista tipping culture is wack
13:00 we both tried to process and said what at the same time it was so weird
