Colleen Ballinger has re-emerged to share her side of the story after the “Miranda Sings” YouTuber was accused of grooming by a fan who claimed she’d “formed an inappropriate personal friendship with him while he was between the ages of 13 and 16.” In a new YouTube video she released on Wednesday, July 28, Ballinger is seen strumming a ukulele while she tells viewers, “Some people are saying things about me that just aren’t true… Even though my team has strongly advised me not to say what I’m going to say, I realized they never said I couldn’t sing about what I want to say.” She then proceeds to break into a song, apparently titled “Toxic Gossip Train”.
