Colleen Ballinger, who is better known for her YouTube character Miranda Sings, has had the rest of her shows in her 2023 tour canceled.
The cancellations follow former fans telling HuffPost that they had inappropriate relationships with the 36-year-old YouTuber when some of them were teens. The former fans said that Ballinger would confide in them about her relationship problems and make sexual jokes.
Adam McIntyre, one former fan, said on his YouTube channel that Ballinger “grooms” her fans. (In a YouTube video in which Ballinger sang the entire time, she denied “grooming.” “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 y’all think so,” she sang.)
Former fans, including one who was a minor at the time, also said that Ballinger sent them nude photos of fellow YouTuber Trisha Paytas. Paytas, a former friend and podcast co-host of Ballinger’s whose nude photos were behind a paywall on OnlyFans, said in a YouTube video that she did not “condone” Ballinger sending others her photos.

“I think it’s the most disgusting thing,” Paytas said. “And above all else, illegal.”
Her attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
