What happened between Colleen Ballinger and Adam McIntyre?
Colleen’s content has proven popular among younger viewers. Unfortunately, this has reportedly led to several inappropriate interactions with some of her fans and allegations of “grooming” some of her minor fans.
YouTuber Kodee (she/they), known for their drama-focused YouTube channel KodeeRants, posted about their experience with Colleen and even provided screenshots of text messages that supposedly link Colleen to group chats that included both minors and adults.
“I did not know at the time that there were minors in these group chats,” Kodee admitted when they, as an adult, were first added. “I should have done the research on [this], so I want to apologize to any child who was in these group chats. I should not have been in a group chat with you.”
In light of their open apology, Kodee also shared screenshots of instances where Colleen would ask fans who were minors at the time inappropriate questions. One of those fans was Adam McIntyre.
In Adam McIntyre had come forward about Colleen’s alleged inappropriate behavior against him. She had allegedly exploited Adam for unpaid child labor for running her social media accounts when he was 17. Colleen even apparently subjected him to uncomfortable questions about sex at the time.
While many fans, including Kodee, were supposedly manipulated to speak out against Adam, Kodee’s admission to this behavior in 2023 seemingly corroborates Adam’s previous claims.
Since Kodee first spoke up against Colleen, Adam has posted two lengthy videos in which he provides more details about his harrowing experience with Colleen. He even invited Kodee onto a stream, thanking them for being the first person to publicly support them in his campaign against Colleen.
If both Adam’s accusations and Kodee’s screenshots are any indications, however, Adam may not be the only minor with whom Colleen has been inappropriate.

At the time of the revelation, people were already rallying against Colleen and her future public appearances.
In one TikTok, a person who read up on the Colleen drama claims, “YouTube is becoming just as corrupt as Hollywood and it’s scary.” Many on Twitter even cite her seemingly problematic behavior with her own children as a clear and present sign of her toxicity regarding minors.
Eventually, Colleen responded to the accusations. In a ten-minute YouTube video posted on June 28, Colleen (checks notes) pulled out a ukulele and began to sing about the allegations.
Her entire “apology” video, which she self-purportedly posted against the advice of her publicists, is stylized as a quirky little ditty in which she accuses folks of perpetuating rumors about her on the “toxic gossip train” and reveals that the accusations have essentially ruined her career.
She directly comments on the fact that many years ago, she would message her fans in “a loser kind of way” where she was trying to be “besties with everyone.” In her song, she admitted to oversharing in many of her messages, but her tune often pivoted toward the idea that the facts were overblown and tried to comment that people were more interested in the sensation of her downfall than the truth.
“The only thing I’ve ever groomed is my two Persian cats,” Colleen declares about six minutes in, directly confronting the accusations made against her. “I’m just a loser who didn’t understand [that] I shouldn’t respond to fans.”
While she states clearly that she intended on taking accountability with her video, she also went on to decry the accusations while firmly avoiding any apologetic statements over the matter.
“I never had any bad intentions,” she states between verses. “But I do feel like s–t.”
For the most part, people aren’t convinced that Colleen has learned anything from all this. While the internet found her choice to make a song out of her response unique, many feel as if Colleen has used her platform to make herself into the victim.
Adam McIntyre calls Colleen Ballinger an “Evil woman” hours after her apology video.
Colleen Ballinger’s accuser Adam McIntyre just called her an “Evil Woman” in a video he released on his channel titled “hi.” following that Ukulele apology video: “This is your response?”.
