Colleen Ballinger Returns To YouTube For First Time Since 'Toxic Gossip Train,' Admits It Was A Bad Video

Colleen Ballinger Returns To YouTube For First Time Since 'Toxic Gossip Train,' Admits It Was A Bad Video

It's been nearly five months since Colleen Ballinger, aka Miranda Sings, graced YouTube with one of the most poorly received YouTube apology videos of all time (quite the accomplishment, considering the history of the genre), with "Toxic Gossip Train," an 11-minute ukulele song that mostly insulted her critics as failure-mongering vultures while she was the target of very serious grooming allegations.


For the first time since "Toxic Gossip Train" rocked the internet, Ballinger has returned to YouTube with a more genre-conforming apology video, meaning she somberly addresses the camera and apologizes for the ukulele video and for her behavior that led to the grooming allegations.


"Over the last 15 years of my career, there have been moments where I was immature and inappropriate with some of my comedy and there were times when I did not put enough thought into some of my fan interactions and because of that behavior, people got hurt and I am so sorry," she said.

Ballinger is accused of sending lingerie to her then-underage social media manager and asking her underage fans inappropriate questions in group chats. The seriousness of the allegations made her ukulele "apology" video read as garishly classless to many social media users at the time, perhaps leading to Ballinger's break from posting.

Her latest video received mixed reactions from commenters on YouTube, but those following the story on Twitter were far harsher in their criticism of Ballinger, particularly because her "fall vlog" video isn't completely an apology. The second half goes into more traditional vlog content.

Adam McIntyre, Ballinger's former social media manager and the chief accuser of Ballinger, was not impressed by her video, uploading a video of his own in which he claimed the YouTuber "hadn't changed."
