June 23, 2023, 9:59 PM UTCColleen Ballinger, known for her satirical alter ego Miranda Sings, was among the first YouTube creators who launched from internet stardom into mainstream success.Ballinger’s massive fan base are questioning their devotion to the star, as allegations continue to mount that she engaged in inappropriate and exploitative relationships with underage fans.is a silly, satirical character who is known for her bizarre singing style and lack of self-awareness.
Many fans are now speaking out about what they describe as the harmful power dynamics that they believe Ballinger fostered among her followers, Erin said. .” Ballinger said that she did use many of her fans’ suggestions for tweets. She said she offered McIntyre a trial period to run her social media, but insisted she did not blame him for any backlash to anything he posted. She also said the fact that she sent him underwear “out of context” sounded awful.
Those purported screenshots, displayed in the now-deleted KodeeRants videos, include a question from Ballinger about the group’s “favorite position” and suggests McIntyre include a question in a “Q&A” on his channel about whether or not the then-teen was a virgin. “Everyone thinks that I’m being super sexual, and obviously I am trying to make it seem like I’m talking about something sexual,” Ballinger said in 2014. “But my take on it is that Miranda is so oblivious that she doesn’t realize that it’s a ‘That’s what she said’ type of moment. She just doesn’t see it that way.”
“Because I was such a young age, I’m starting to think like, what if that was me?” Sophie said. “What if I was at her tour … I worry about that and like knowing like my sister, also she watched Colleen with me. It’s like you think of all the things that could have happened to yourself.” “What makes Colleen’s situation particularly nefarious, is that she’s benefiting from capitalizing on manipulating her fans into believing she’s a friend and that was really hard for me to digest,” Spears said.
Because the creator economy is now its own massive industry, talent agencies that help bolster the careers of influencers should be doing more to protect fans, Osborne said.
