The entire Colleen Ballinger "apology" transcript...

Btw I hate her. She's gross. I'm posting this bc I thought it was just hilarious 

...*Colleen looks very upset....she waits a few seconds and then grabs a ukulele...*

"Hey.. It's been a while since you saw my face... I haven't been doing so great, so I took a little break... A lot of people are saying some things about me that aren't quite true. It doesn't matter if it's true though.... just as long as it's entertaining to you. right? You guys having fun? All aboard the toxic gossip train chugging down the tracks of misinformation.

The toxic gossip train... They got a one way ticket to manipulation station. Toxic gossip train. Tie me to the tracks and harass me for my past. Rumors look like facts if you don't mind the gaps and I won't survive the crash but hey... At least you are having fun.

 hi everyone, I've been wanting to come online and talk to you about a few things um even though my team has strongly advised me to not say what I want to say I recently realized that they never said that I couldn't sing what I want to say 

So here I am and um today I only want to talk about the facts so I hope that you'll be willing to listen.

Many years ago I used to message my fans uh but not in a creepy way like a lot of you are trying to suggest it was more of a loser kind of way but I was just trying to be besties with everybody. it's kind of like when you go to like a family gathering you know and there's a weird aunt there keeps coming up to you and going like "hey girl what's the tea" and you're like that weird. Um that was me but in group chats with my fans. it was weird...

I've been sharing my life online for over 15 years I've poured my heart out to you and because of that I feel like I'm talking to my friends but in the beginning of my career I didn't really understand that maybe there should be some boundaries there.

There were times the dms when I would over share..details of my life.. which was really weird of me. I haven't done that in years you see, because I changed my behavior and I took accountability

But that's not very interesting is it? So let's go on the toxic gossip trainnnnn Locomotives filed fueled with hateful accusations. The toxic gossip train. Steamrolling all over someone's reputation

Toxic gossip train, hop on board but close your eyes otherwise you'll realize that the train is made of lies and that the person you despise maybe didn't deserve to die, but hey at least you're having fun.

In all seriousness, I do think it's really important to hold people accountable for their mistakes um you know we should hope that everyone can learn from their mistakes and grow and change their behavior and be a better person. This is something that I've always tried to do when I make mistakes. It's something that I will continue to try to do...

What oh you don't care oh okay I thought you wanted me to take accountability but that's not the point of your mob mentality, is it? No, your goal is to ruin the life of the person you despise while you dramatize your lies and monetize their demise ... yeah.

I feel like I can already hear the comments on this video "she's gaslighting, manipulating oh she's a narcissist and a rat, I would never make a mistake like that."

oh I'm sorry I didn't realize that all of you are perfect, so please criticize me. Bring out the daggers made from your perfect past and stab me repeatedly in my bony little back. I'm sure you're disappointed in my shitty little song. I know you wanted me to say that I was 100% in the wrong. Well I'm sorry, I'm not gonna take that route of admitting to lies and rumors that you made up for clout.

Hey everybody I found someone new to harass she did some things that I do not like in her past so everybody gather round cause we're about to attack but not based on facts. Oh no you're loaded Lethal Weapon It's your fingers on the keys. You don't need any armor when you can hide behind a screen so shoot me down quick, with a click and bam - the reputation is deceased.

I also wanted to take a minute to talk about that girl, Miranda Sings, you know the one. She's PG-13 it says that on my website and it's always been that way and that's why you won't find my videos on the YouTube kids app anyway. um I didn't realize it was my responsibility to decide what was appropriate for every kid to see. I've always relied on parents to decide if they're comfortable, with their families watching my YouTube videos or coming to my live shows.

Now. Have I made some jokes in poor taste? yes. Have I made lots of dumb mistakes? yes.

am I sad that there are some fans who feel betrayed? yes.

Was my intention to manipulate? No. (she meant yes here.)

It doesn't really matter what my intention was because it seems as though everyone's already decided on that.

Let me tell you it's not very fun to have millions of people all over the world call you the most vile ,horrendous, disgusting, life ruining words that a person can be called in my opinion.

Um it doesn't matter that these things aren't true, everyone just believes that you are the type of person who manipulates and abuses children...

oh I just wanted to say that uhm..... the only things 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, because five years ago I made a fart joke.

(Stares at camera)

So even though I know this video won't change anyone's mind about me I still felt it was important to come on here and defend myself a little and take accountability. And I also wanted to say that to anyone out there who has ever supported me, in any capacity, I really really appreciate you. thank you...

For what it's worth, I never had any bad intentions but I do feel like shit..

The toxic gossip train, you're chugging down the track of misinformation. Toxic gossip traAiInnn... You've got a one way ticket to manipulation station. Toxic gossip train... you tied me to the tracks and harassed me for my past. Rumors look like facts when you don't mind the gaps. I won't survive and crash, but hey...I hope you had some fun.

Actually, you know, I feel like maybe I should let you guys know something. um it seems like, maybe you're confused about something. I don't know.

Let me try to help........um.

Sometimes people make a mistake and it does and make them a horrible person. whoOoOaAh. sometimes people can make a mistake and they're still a good person.....crazy I know. sometimes people can make a mistake and you don't have to take a mistake and twist it up and grind it and add some lies to it and pulverize it and stab it with knives and ruin a life and. oh no sometimes people can make a mistake, it doesn't mean you gotta send them hate. oh no sometimes people can make a mistake and you can kindly let them know and help them to grow.

sometimes people make mistakes simply because they made a mistake and that mistake doesn't make them a terrible human...... it just makes them a human.

But what do I know? Fuck me, right?"
