Colleen Ballinger Controversy: All About It
The Colleen Ballinger Controversy has been doing the rounds for a while now. This series of controversies came into existence after a woman named Becky made a video and claimed that she was in one of Ballinger’s yoga challenge videos and that she felt rather uncomfortable and admitted to having felt sexually violated as a minor on stage.
Colleen also claimed that the comedian exploited her minor body for entertainment and money and did not protect her safety at the show as well. Becky further admitted that she was terrified that her body was not covered enough, as she basically felt naked.
This controversy was filled further after Adam McIntyre claimed that the comedian allegedly groomed him along with several other teenagers back during the 2010s when Ballinger was in her 30s. Adam went on to reveal several screenshots where the comedian is allegedly talking about her train and s*x life and even asking for inappropriate videos.
the whole bit here was that i “farted” while in this position which is 1) really childish and 2) fucking embarrassing when you’re already in a vulnerable position. i was only a teenager here and you can see that i had to stop and cover myself up before i even stood up. pic.twitter.com/cPQVKAUMQv
