Colleen Ballinger: YouTube star writes song to respond to accusing fans

YouTube star Colleen Ballinger has addressed accusations of toxic relationships with fans by posting a video in which She defends herself in a song while playing The Ukulele .

The US creator found fame with her Miranda Sings character from 2008.

Last week, that dozens of fans said they had been " bullied, intimidated, and embarrassed by Ballinger and members of her team".

, She Said people had been saying things that " aren't quite true".

Five former fans told Rolling Stone about being befriended by Ballinger, leading to interactions they told the magazine were " toxic, exploitative, and hurtful" including sending sexually suggestive messages and making jokes at their expense.

Posting her 10-minute song in response, Ballinger accepted that She " used to message my fans, but not in a creepy way like a lot of you are trying to suggest" adding: " It was more of a loser kind of way. "

She sang: " In The Beginning of my career I didn't really understand that maybe there should be some boundaries there. There were times in the DMs when I would overshare details of My Life , which was really weird of me.

" I haven't done that for years, you see, because I changed my behaviour and I took accountability. "

Ballinger has 8. 6 million subscribers and almost two billion views on YouTube, and 8. 1 million followers on Instagram.

In The Chorus , She sang that those who had aired grievances had boarded the " toxic gossip train" which is hurtling " down the tracks of misinformation" and She " won't survive in the crash".

She Said their " goal is to ruin The Life of the person you despise" and " it doesn't matter that these things aren't true".

She continued that everyone now believes She is " The Type of person who manipulates and abuses children".

" So I just wanted to say the only thing I've ever groomed is my two Persian cats. I'm not a groomer. I'm just a loser who didn't understand I shouldn't respond to fans. And I'm not a predator even though a lot of you think so. "

She added that " sometimes people can make a mistake and it doesn't make them a horrible person".

However, her response, and the unconventional nature of a musical video, did not appease her following. Many on Social Media criticised and ridiculed its apparent flippancy and lack of sincerity.
