What Anthony fails to understand is that Colleen is a creative, and sometimes creatives feel the need to musically demolish their careers and social lives.
What's kind of sickening is that, if you ignore the context of everything she's saying... it's actually a pretty good song. It's pretty well constructed; the rhyme scheme and meter flows pretty well, and the chorus is, even I have to admit... kind of an earworm. Not to mention - she hits. Every. Single. One. Of the most popular and effective manipulation tactics these people use. Pretending to turn off the camera, preemptively saying that people will call her manipulative to stave off criticism for it, calling her actions "weird" instead of anything actually self-critical, thanking her supporters for "being there for her" to create an facade of vulnerability... and the, let's be honest, not half-bad acting. It's honestly kind of scary how effective this would probably be if you were already on her side.
And then acting like she was just young and dumb, like no you were 32. She was literally in group chats with children up until last week. The amount of hypocrisy, denial, deflecting, and downplaying in one video is mind blowing. She’s insane.
I wish so fucking badly that her LEGAL TEAM would upload their reaction to this.... That's the only reaction I REALLY wanna see. Imagine how fucking baffling it would be to be consulted one minute.... then immediately after realizing THIS is what you're tasked with "defending" Maybe Legal Eagle can do a "if someone came to me and responded like this" hypothetical response.....
Thank you. She acts as if she just misspoke on a video or something and it’s like no…you literally groomed children. Even so, why so performative? You already don’t care what your legal team has to say, so you might as well just make a regular apology. Her whole “apology” reeks of “IM A VICTIM,” when in reality she’s a creepy woman who has groomed kids. I don’t know what she thought she was doing but this apology is neither cute, nor an actual apology.
as a theater kid who’s been institutionalized a few times i know that you have to sign off saying you won’t buy a gun for like 5 years but i still feel very unsafe knowing that i have access to the ukulele that has been chilling in my dads garage since like 2015
Honestly if you think about how crazy and deranged you have to be to think something like this was ok to put out on the internet considering her actions it is absolutely insane. Like she had to write this song and film multiple takes and never thought how this would be received
@@arandomhippo4798 i mean she even predicted her comments section so she knew this would be a disaster. but in her twisted worldview the only reason anyone would call her out is because they’re out to get her. it’s unbridled narcissism.
Could you imagine if some guy on "To Catch A Predator" gets busted by Chris Hansen, and when he asks the line: "Well if there anything else you would like to say, we'd like to hear it?", the dude pulls out a ukulele and starts singing "Toxic Gossip Train" for like 10 minutes?!
hello there mister, I'm here to let you know such scenario actually did kinda happen... somewhat Stephen Coates was arrested during the Riverside, California sting, this guy was a musician before and continued to make music after TCAP (of course he had to kinda change his name to Stephen GC) and in his last musical effort he released a song called Thought Crime where he's basically framing his experience chatting up a 14 year old child as some kind of "1984 the government is listening to you" kinda way. check it out, it's batshit insane.
@@luancervantes6124 Ugh, Stephen Coates is truly insufferable. He's one of the busybody predators responsible for getting TH-cam to take a lot of TCAP-related content down for """""""harassment""""""" (i.e., commentary on their crimes and read-alouds of their own chatlogs). Thank you for spreading awareness 😂 He's awful and more people need to know
I've an inlaw that talks like this. Like they're the first and only person to discover empathy and understanding. Just constant patronizing to every person they meet 🙈 I think I'll buy them a uke for Christmas
Truth. You can't be a villain and play the keytar. I'm pretty sure you'd actually burst into flames if you were to pick one up while having darkness in the heart. Kind of like a cross, but not make-believe.
She's trying to say she didn't do anything pedophilic and that WE'RE causing gossip by looking too much into it. And trying to guilt-trip and further gaslight on top of that. "over a fart joke"... Lady, you know that was not it.
Actually unhinged behavior. I have no idea how you get to a place where victims are actually coming out against you and you reach for the ukelele. A true specimen of mental illness what a ride
It's also funny because, like Anthony, I had only a vague sense of who this person was and had never heard the allegations against her. After watching the video I'm a) Insulted the way she talks about the audience as antagonistic, b) slack jawed that the only time she acknowledged she was in hot water for child grooming was saying, "not a groomer, just a loser" c) and baffled that she chose to make a sing song child's song defending herself from allegations she GROOMED CHILDREN. True or not I now hate this woman and think she deserves whatever's coming lol. Nice job Colleen!
"We got to write a song about how we do not diddle kids." "There is no quicker way to make people think you are diddling kids than by writing a song about it."
"This video won't change anyone's mind about me." It did for me. 24 hours ago, I knew there was some YT comedian who wore way too much lipstick, but I didn't know a single thing about them. Now I know they have well documented accusations of grooming against them because their response video is so monumentally tone-deaf.
@@HadenBlakeAnother insane thing is that she was in some of those group chats with minors up until a week ago. She acts like she was young and dumb when she did these things, like no bitch you were 32. You were literally in the middle of sexually harassing children last week! She’s insane.
I'm sorry!!! It's that easy. It's insane that she had 3 weeks to write a real apology to her victims. But instead she wrote this long accusatory song. Instead of taking responsibility for being a creep and rotten person. Crazy isn't it?
I love how she plays both sides. "I didn't do anything wrong, it's all rumors guys" followed by "it's ok we all make mistakes we're all human". No admittance for wrongdoing followed by her forgiving herself for wrongdoing that apparently never happened. Also, the comment she made about knowing what the comments are going to be like, they'll say she's gaslighting and lying. THAT'S CAUSE YOU ARE rofl... smh
Imagine messing up an apology so bad that even Anthony Fantano has legitimate grounds to make a video about it. This is a new level of Streisand Effect.
@@redshamrock05 The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove, or censor information, where the effort instead leads to increased awareness of that information. It is named after American singer and actress Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress the California Coastal Records Project's photograph of her cliff-top residence in Malibu, California, taken to document California coastal erosion, inadvertently drew greater attention to the photograph in 2003.[1]
Supposedly that's why she stops, gets up, and looks off-screen; she's checking to see if she can monetize the video. She uploaded the song to Apple Music too and she may or may not have tried to get this very video taken down, as she's issuing copyright strikes on any video that has the song in it.
@@AluminumFusion22 in a twisted way, it’s smart. She made it a song, and copyrights any video making fun of her video because it has the song in it. Pathetic, but smart
She's almost 40...so when she says things like "I haven't done it in years" we're still talking about someone in their 30s doing the things she allegedly has done. It isn't a 20 something year old who messed up in their late teens.
@@baintreachas if one was to pronounce ukelele by the broadly accepted yet incorrect pronunciation (i.e. yoo), 'a ukelele' would make more sense. since the original comment used 'an', this implies the correct pronunciation (oo-) which you described. i hope this explains it!
To be fair to her (fair?), she didn't release this as an apology. If it were an apology, she'd need to apologize for something. Even the Paul brother insincerely apologized for the video about that forest in Japan. This is a "Kevin Spacey's 'Let Me Be Frank'"-tier deflection/self-defense.
@@thehousecat93 it's so awful. The only thing her video has going for her is that she didn't pull a Romeo Lacoste and blame the victims for being victims
Not only that, there is proof out there that her website didn't say pg-13 until 2018. And on top of that, worth pointing out that most of her victims were over 13 anyway
What makes it funnier is that she's like "my lawyers never said I can't sing" but then she spends half of the song just talking while strumming at the same time, like some pseudo-spoken word thing
@@larryinc64 I have my problems with the ukulele community but no one deserves this. Thank God she didn't freestyle on a synthesizer or bass or I'd be fucked.
@@fauxcommander my apology video for eating my roommates’ pet rat alive will include me sampling jazz records into a hip-hop beat while rapping about how he deserved it for never doing the dishes
Remember, she had to think about how to apologize, write the song, practice it, hit record on camera, watch the recording and upload the video, there wasn't much stopping her from making this decision
it’s important to note that it wasn’t just a fart joke. she spread a minor’s legs (who was wearing a DRESS) on stage and then turned it into a fart joke.
@@nathanmedina2809I'm looking at your past comments and you are so??? You sound like you do similar things just as Colleen and that's...concerning to say the least.
I have no idea how she managed to write this song, perform it probably with multiple takes, film it, and upload it without her or her legal team realizing that it was a terrible idea. The level of delusion is disgusting.
"Even though my team has strongly advised me to not say what I want to say, I recently realized they never said that I couldn't sing what I want to say." She at the start of the video
Shes trying to do that thing where she admits to one thing (texting kids) to release herself from harsher consequences and so the lie seems more realistic. “I DID text kids so sorry for that, but I didn’t groom them” type shit
I love when toxic or harmful people say deliberated decisions and statements are mistakes. A mistake is rear ending someone because you took your eyes off the road for a moment, not grooming minors
“Hey guys, I had a moment of weakness and made a mistake when I said trans people are all sex offenders, solicited pornography from minors, and killed someone on a cocaine bender” man I don’t think those are mistakes
the most infuriating part of the song is the fact that she could come up with a hook, verses, a bridge & an encore but couldn’t come up with a single chord progression
Since that one TH-camr apologized by interpretive dance and Colleen apologized with a song, I can't wait for the eventual TH-camr Apology: The Musical!
As someone with a theater degree I’ve been surrounded by Theater Kids and I’m glad that I never was one. She is the ultimate Theater Kid as she is narcissistic, breaks into song and dance, has to be the center of attention, never can take accountability for their mistakes, makes fun of people behind their back, and is the ultimate victim. She needs to grow up and understand that she hurt people wether she intended to or not and acknowledge that other people have feelings.
I don't know about everyone else, but I think she down played her allegations a bit. I never had a "quirky aunt" ask me what my favorite sex position was, nor send me lingerie.
I had heard there was a controversy regarding a channel I'd never engaged with, and I didn't engage with this information because I was neither qualified or interested. Now I know Miranda Sings/Colleen Ballinger as the woman who did the ukelele gaslighting song.
@@InkAndPoet A little over a minute into her song. The first spoken part goes: "Hi everyone, I've been wanting to come online and talk to you about a few things. Even though my team has strongly advised me to not say what I want to say, I recently realized they never said that I couldn't *sing* what I want to say." That's why it's a ukulele jam instead of a normal deflection
The "fart" joke was when she made a kid spread her legs towards the audience on a show, a girl who was wearing a dress, and then made a farting sound and acted disgusted. She humiliated the kid who was clearly uncomfortable, and that kid said later that there were men looking at her weirdly the entire time after. That wasn't her only time doing something like that to a kid because she also told a little boy to put his hand down her pants. On stage. In front of an audience too.
She created an atmosphere within her child audience that encouraged them to "dress provocatively" at her live shows so they had a chance of being called onto stage. She's always been a disgusting groomer, all it took was her writing a song about it to fully convince everyone. The always sunny episode where frank wants to write a song about how they DO NOT diddle kids is now reality.
The fan’s name is Becky and she’s come out and talked about how humiliating it was for her. Ok let’s play devil’s advocate and say that Colleen actually meant it just as a fart joke. It still hurt Becky and Colleen should’ve apologized. The fact she’s like “ugh it was just a fart joke!!!” just shows how out of touch she is. Perception over intention.
@@publiusventidiusbassus1232 Well that’ll happen when you’ve been conditioning your young audience over the years to trust you and be comfortable with your inappropriate behavior.
“My team strongly advised me not to speak about this but… they never said I couldn’t sing my closing arguments… YOUR HONOR GET ON THE TOXIC LYIN TRAAAIIIN”
I don’t really get this. The whole phrasing of “acting on an intrusive thought” heavily evokes OCD. Unsure if you’re implying she has OCD and was following an obsessive thought irrationally telling her the only way to fix this is with a song. If that’s not what you mean “intrusive thought” and “acting on” probably aren’t the right words
She does it in a song because if she straight up said the exact same words, they'd be simply offensive and not at all remorseful, so yes, this is a form of manipulation
this apology is is so sinister, like the simmering rage pouring out of her, the way you can feel that she’s boiling and wants to scream “bUt i AlREADY SAID SORRY!!!!” like it’s so infantile and pathetic hahaha. like i cannot believe this is real. imagine being so narcissistic.
Seriously, all I knew about her before this is that she made what I'll call "internet music" that my sister watched like eight or nine years ago. I don't know what else to call it, it was music that seemed to result from internet culture. But yeah that's all I knew. Then yeeeaaaars later, when I haven't thought about her in a while, I see a nostalgic name pop up next to the worst accusations, and those accusations are true. Before that, hearing anything from her just gave me nostalgia of sharing my room with my sister. She fucked herself so hard with this shit. Biggest "pride leads to fall" lesson I've ever seen play out on the internet so far. Edit, second biggest. Forgot about Andrew Tate.
It's annoying as hell to listen to but I liked the ukelele. If she was doing anything else besides discussing controversy, it would've been pretty decent.
She predicted that people were going to call her a gaslighting narcissist but predicting that people are going to state the obvious doesn't make it any less true, lol. "I foresaw you were going to call me 'X' which means that I'm clearly not 'X'! Checkmate, haters." That's not how it works. :'D
Sienna Mae's interpretive dance "I didn't do anything wrong" apology vs Colleen Ballinger's "you guys are toxic not me, you guys are the liars not me. You should feel bad for me" ukelele apology. The next apology needs to be some play or skit.
Didn't Gus Johnson release a skit right after his ex talked about him not supporting him through a painful and dangerous medical ordeal about how annoying people who exagerare being sick are? I think that kinda counts!
Yup, most recent worst apology that I remember is by CreepshowArt, you know-the youtuber who stalked her bf's ex girlfriend for 10 yrs, stole her career and posted homophobic comments in secret while pretending to be supportive. She came back year later bashing all the friends, playing victim and blaming everyone else for her behavior. The pattern is similar in this one- the over the top angry non-apology, and dismissing all the evidence
Me either. This is the perfect amount of condescension and frivolity over the right type of serious allegations to make it a very difficult failure to beat. It's about as awful as I can imagine happening; it might be possible that Putin might break out an accordion and passively-aggressively apologize for the invasion of Ukraine but I'm just not seeing it. Overgrown theatre kid trying to twee her way through sexual assault of minors? That's imaginable.
@@escabasket153 omg I think I forgot. You are right, we can count the Illuminaughty as well, whole situation was weird. I was watching her some time ago and recently I was so shocked by the whole situation and her response, true. Those couple of years really showed some nasty side of humanity in the YT community :/
When she kept talking about "all these allegations and rumors" that was my thought exactly, these aren't allegations or hearsay they're documented instances across dozens of screenshots and videos
Someone on twitter theorized that she made the apology video *this* way because if someone reacts to the video, then she can copyright claim the video since her *original music* is on it. It's 99% false, but it would be funny if it is the 1% possibility. Edit: Just as I thought. The song is on Apple Music and she is issuing copyright claims on anyone reacting to the "song"
Or maybe she did it to distract people from the seriousness of the accusations. Now instead, everyone's focusing on how ridiculous her apology song is.
I don't understand. She is accused of grooming minors. She has a team, possibly a legal team. And instead of acting according to the gravity of the situation with them to mitigate the damages, she went basically "yolo, I don't need to listen to my colleagues that I gathered for situations like this huehuehue". I don't know, but she seems to me exactly the kind of person that would be randomly sexting children with no second thought what so ever
she said everyone in her team recommended that she STFU but she was going to do a song. Truly deranged. There's a ton of comedy about Colleen's PR team when they realize she posted the song.
Every time she insists that she's "taken accountability" it reminds me of the scene in Breaking Bad where Gretchen confronts Walt over him involving her in his lie to his family without her consent or even her knowledge, and he says "I'm sorry" once, without actually acknowledging or owning up to anything, and when she understandably demands an explanation from him, he gets indignant and insists that he already apologized and doesn't owe her anything more than that, and keeps patting himself on the back for his "apology".
I can't tell if Colleen is trying to gaslight people or if she thinks getting a kid onstage, spreading her legs in a dress and leering down at her is so totally a-okay that the only thing she can imagine people disliking is the fart joke part of that.
"my team strongly advised me to not say anything... BUT because I'm clever and clearly smarter than everyone.... I'm gonna sing it instead!" GET on her intellectual level
@@charcoalwilson Exactly what this made me think of as well. My dad is a lawyer and man I've heard so many horror stories in this regard. And I've also read a lot about antisocial types and yeah - they can't stand any sort of hindrance to their ego. Notice here that she's also subtly shifting blame to her PR team for saying she can't speak 😤 those meanies! Psycho stuff.
By the way, it gets way worse than this. She actually used her fame to lead children to a group chat with her brother who sent them pedophilic messages and pornographic images.
Whoa what the fuck??? She is knowingly luring children into chat rooms with her brother so he can sexually abuse them? Uh this is extremely massive news I really hope you did your research and know for a fact this happened and that it was malicious otherwise this is really really really fucked up to spread about someone

Actually unhinged behavior. I have no idea how you get to a place where victims are actually coming out against you and you reach for the ukelele. A true specimen of mental illness what a ride
It's also funny because, like Anthony, I had only a vague sense of who this person was and had never heard the allegations against her. After watching the video I'm a) Insulted the way she talks about the audience as antagonistic, b) slack jawed that the only time she acknowledged she was in hot water for child grooming was saying, "not a groomer, just a loser" c) and baffled that she chose to make a sing song child's song defending herself from allegations she GROOMED CHILDREN.

Is that really still a thing?
mid roll ads are if a video is 8 (maybe 6 i forgot) minutes long now btw
Supposedly that's why she stops, gets up, and looks off-screen; she's checking to see if she can monetize the video. She uploaded the song to Apple Music too and she may or may not have tried to get this very video taken down, as she's issuing copyright strikes on any video that has the song in it.

Are you saying the woman who let her teenage fan run her Twitter account is making bad pr decisions??? I'm shocked 😂
I don’t think she actually has a team. She just said that to have a “cute/clever” line to justify responding to the situation via a song.
It’s very confusing. One moment she’s saying she made a mistake, and the next she’s saying the allegations are all lies.
Shes trying to do that thing where she admits to one thing (texting kids) to release herself from harsher consequences and so the lie seems more realistic. “I DID text kids so sorry for that, but I didn’t groom them” type shit
I love when toxic or harmful people say deliberated decisions and statements are mistakes. A mistake is rear ending someone because you took your eyes off the road for a moment, not grooming minors

@@InkAndPoet A little over a minute into her song. The first spoken part goes: "Hi everyone, I've been wanting to come online and talk to you about a few things. Even though my team has strongly advised me to not say what I want to say, I recently realized they never said that I couldn't *sing* what I want to say." That's why it's a ukulele jam instead of a normal deflection
The "fart" joke was when she made a kid spread her legs towards the audience on a show, a girl who was wearing a dress, and then made a farting sound and acted disgusted. She humiliated the kid who was clearly uncomfortable, and that kid said later that there were men looking at her weirdly the entire time after. That wasn't her only time doing something like that to a kid because she also told a little boy to put his hand down her pants. On stage. In front of an audience too.
She created an atmosphere within her child audience that encouraged them to "dress provocatively" at her live shows so they had a chance of being called onto stage. She's always been a disgusting groomer, all it took was her writing a song about it to fully convince everyone. The always sunny episode where frank wants to write a song about how they DO NOT diddle kids is now reality.
Not only traumatizing, but also humiliating since people laughed. I feel bad for them.
The fan’s name is Becky and she’s come out and talked about how humiliating it was for her. Ok let’s play devil’s advocate and say that Colleen actually meant it just as a fart joke.

Yup, most recent worst apology that I remember is by CreepshowArt, you know-the youtuber who stalked her bf's ex girlfriend for 10 yrs, stole her career and posted homophobic comments in secret while pretending to be supportive. She came back year later bashing all the friends, playing victim and blaming everyone else for her behavior. The pattern is similar in this one- the over the top angry non-apology, and dismissing all the evidence
Thats what we thought about sienna mae too 💀
Me either. This is the perfect amount of condescension and frivolity over the right type of serious allegations to make it a very difficult failure to beat. It's about as awful as I can imagine happening; it might be possible that Putin might break out an accordion and passively-aggressively apologize for the invasion of Ukraine but I'm just not seeing it. Overgrown theatre kid trying to twee her way through sexual assault of minors? That's imaginable.
@@KariPusia6the recent Illuminaughtii apology was the worst until this one.
@@escabasket153 omg I think I forgot. You are right, we can count the Illuminaughty as well, whole situation was weird. I was watching her some time ago and recently I was so shocked by the whole situation and her response, true. Those couple of years really showed some nasty side of humanity in the YT community :/
A pure example of someone who peaked in the 2010s with that goddamn ukulele singing
There’s too many screenshots for her to be responding this way tbh lmao
She was caught in 16k.
Lol right she has the confidence of a person who hasn't seen the receipts yet...
When she kept talking about "all these allegations and rumors" that was my thought exactly, these aren't allegations or hearsay they're documented instances across dozens of screenshots and videos
Someone on twitter theorized that she made the apology video *this* way because if someone reacts to the video, then she can copyright claim the video since her *original music* is on it. It's 99% false, but it would be funny if it is the 1% possibility.
Edit: Just as I thought. The song is on Apple Music and she is issuing copyright claims on anyone reacting to the "song"
I immediately thought so
Nahhh that makes no sense.
She's just that delusional thinking it would be a good idea.
you can copyright claim videos that used your materials even if its not a song
Or maybe she did it to distract people from the seriousness of the accusations. Now instead, everyone's focusing on how ridiculous her apology song is.
@@HR63927I mean, people are literally looking into those claims and seeing the horrible shit she’s done, like in this very video. So like
Not really??
I don't understand. She is accused of grooming minors. She has a team, possibly a legal team. And instead of acting according to the gravity of the situation with them to mitigate the damages, she went basically "yolo, I don't need to listen to my colleagues that I gathered for situations like this huehuehue". I don't know, but she seems to me exactly the kind of person that would be randomly sexting children with no second thought what so ever
Probably because her "team" is made up of 13 year olds who are obsessed with her lmao
She would have been fired by her PR team the moment she posted this.
She’s obviously mentally unstable, as evidenced by the behavior that got her in this place
she said everyone in her team recommended that she STFU but she was going to do a song. Truly deranged.
There's a ton of comedy about Colleen's PR team when they realize she posted the song.
Every time she insists that she's "taken accountability" it reminds me of the scene in Breaking Bad where Gretchen confronts Walt over him involving her in his lie to his family without her consent or even her knowledge, and he says "I'm sorry" once, without actually acknowledging or owning up to anything, and when she understandably demands an explanation from him, he gets indignant and insists that he already apologized and doesn't owe her anything more than that, and keeps patting himself on the back for his "apology".
Is Jenna Marbles apology about the fish tank the only genuinely sincere and earnest youtuber apology video in history?
Agree
Yes.
Idubbz actually made a decent effort recently
Ethan Klein apology
I'd say Idubbbz is up there
She doesn’t want people to “monetize her demise” but she didn’t have problem when she “capitalized taking advantage of little guys she traumatized”.
Hey! That’s a bar!
Lmaooo
This deserves more likes
13:10 glad I wasn't the only one having this animalistic emotional reaction at "not a groomer, just a loser"
it's giving James "I'm desperate" Charles
I can't tell if Colleen is trying to gaslight people or if she thinks getting a kid onstage, spreading her legs in a dress and leering down at her is so totally a-okay that the only thing she can imagine people disliking is the fart joke part of that.
Definitely gaslighting. Which is ironic because she accuses the audience of it
Her drama was contained to her corner of the internet until she made this "apology." Now the whole internet is aware!
Lmao right 😂
11:23 "im sure youre dissapointed with my shitty little song" BARS, its the only time she said the truth
"my team strongly advised me to not say anything... BUT because I'm clever and clearly smarter than everyone.... I'm gonna sing it instead!"
GET on her intellectual level
@@charcoalwilson well if she gets sued for something, she's definitely the one to represent herself lol
@@charcoalwilson Exactly what this made me think of as well. My dad is a lawyer and man I've heard so many horror stories in this regard. And I've also read a lot about antisocial types and yeah - they can't stand any sort of hindrance to their ego. Notice here that she's also subtly shifting blame to her PR team for saying she can't speak 😤 those meanies!
Psycho stuff.
@@charcoalwilson She's a youtuber. They make videos. That's literally how she makes her living. That's not the same as representing yourself in court.
@@charcoalwilsonit's not a psychopath thing; it's just an idiot thing.
Fine, let me get my lobotomy pick.
I never expected someone who makes musical content for a living to make an apology video as tone-deaf as this.
By the way, it gets way worse than this. She actually used her fame to lead children to a group chat with her brother who sent them pedophilic messages and pornographic images.
she didn't do that he just messaged her fans
@@evilplugg_you're spreading fake news
@@dyyylllaannndude she took him on tour knowing he was talking to kids cause he told a 13 year old fan that his family told him to stop doing it
Whoa what the fuck??? She is knowingly luring children into chat rooms with her brother so he can sexually abuse them? Uh this is extremely massive news I really hope you did your research and know for a fact this happened and that it was malicious otherwise this is really really really fucked up to spread about someone
@@evilplugg_you can absolutely link it on TH-cam, just post the link. I’m assuming none of your sources actually include anything illegal (because in that case I’m just gonna file an anonymous tip with the FBI that you have apparent child p*r*). Link it otherwise you’re basically admitting to having illegal material on your computer
"We never should have let white people from my generation touch the ukulele". Well, Melon has my undying loyalty now, it's official.
LMAOO
Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down the Top 10 atrocities committed by white people
Number 1: Shitty ukelele music
We absolutely stan Tiny Tim, though.
But she's jewish
@@kurtadams9740How in the fuck does that matter?
I want to thank the fans and the algorithm for bullying Fantano into having to watch this
And he returned the favor by allowing for the bullying of theater kids off the Internet. I fully endorse this.
Update/Warning: Colleen just got a copyright for the song and she's making the rounds giving out copyright strikes for videos featuring clips of the song.
You get copyright as soon as you write the song.
This falls under fair use. She can't sue for shit.
