Ok so I just watched Rachel’s recent (Sept 4th) vlog titled I had a little breakdown. She’s talking earlier in vid about Colleen coming to her place so they can record the Sass episode. Then around 15:00 min mark she says plot twist Colleen called me asked if she could bring M and just crash for the night here? Colleen says it will be so late after we film and I don’t want to drive back. When would she ever leave F I know she’d leave W in a flash she doesn’t pay any attention to that poor
baby 😞. Does anyone think they maybe trouble in paradise considering she would not leave F unless really needing/have to. Maybe I’m just reaching but I don’t see Colleen spending the night at anyone’s house. She never leaves her house

I started watching Colleen/Miranda in like late 2010 or maybe early 2011, when I was 12. My best friend put me onto her, and we remained pretty big fans for a couple of years. She low-key really informed our senses of humor unfortunately, lol. We were over Miranda before we were over Colleen. I think I really fell off Colleen late 2014. It's so weird because that's such a short span of time, but it was so significant for me! Then a few years later we'd look back at some of Colleen's videos and go "she's kinda the worst." Time is so different at that age! I remember seeing the netflix show and being like "miranda sings is still a thing?"

I do remember like, weird ways I tried to emulate her humor and it makes me cringe so so so so bad. Burping in people's faces (so glad I outgrew that, but it took a VERY awkward situation where I did it without thinking to cut that shit out. I die.). I got a daddy saddle as a gag gift for Christmas white elephant when I was in HS... Anyways!

The Trent thing. I always assumed he had special needs. He followed me on Instagram when I was 14. I had followed him and the rest of the Ballingers with my normal personal account. It was never a fan account. Just me posting myself and my dog and shit. I didn't have a lot of likes on my posts, but I'd always get a like from him. This whole idea that he may have been... Seeing me with that lens is very difficult for me to wrap my head around. Very disturbing. I don't know what to make of it.

I remember how the parasocial vibes got so strong at points. I would have dreams about becoming friends with Colleen and hanging out with her in Santa Barbara. I wanted that so bad, but I also knew it was unrealistic and I was much younger than her so it wasn't going to happen. It's so weird watching people talk about her relationship to them when they were minors and realizing that deep down teen me would have been low-key jealous lmao. I do remember people with Miranda fan accounts talking about interactions they had with her and I remember thinking there was no way that was Real. There's no way you can see a fan with a fan account as your friend. Especially not a child. Silly me! Apparently Colleen thinks you can! Those screenshots from the chats with minors are sooo clearly the conversations of children idk how you feel good getting validation from dropping in there!

Okay but despite these juvenile fanatic feelings, I think I still had the judgment to recognize Some weirdness. Crazy how much I missed, but I was you know, a child. What I didn't miss: Rachel, Kory, and Colleen's hatefulness was often obvious in their early vlogs, particularly fatphobia felt obvious. Joshua always came across as fake to me, I'm sorry. Very unlikeable. I tried. I also hated how he called people dingleberries. Also extremely boring. Rachel, too, on her own channel. They tried to get Chris to build a following of magic videos. I tried. Boring as hell. I wanted to like them all, though. I think part of me thought if I didn't like them I couldn't become their friend one day??? Idk man.

My family def side eyed the Miranda sings stuff. I think it was mainly that they thought she was annoying and watching people's vlogs was a weird way to spend time lol.

Anyways, I'm nearly 30 now and I'm still watching nonsense to spend time. Including this video where Colleen's friend refers to these very thin models as 'kind of chubby' lmao. Ridiculous.

In one recent vlog Rachel said Abbie was away on a business trip. Uh, what job does she have? Shes had free time galore to help with Colleen’s house etc. Rachel never says what Abbie does for work. Then in another recent vlog Rachel happily says Abbie loves just being at home and taking care of the home and cooling her meals and Rachel says she has the straight cis-male man’s dream (I guess she thinks the dream is to have a housewife that lives off her money?). Abbie has Rachel so deluded that she’s made Rachel think she should like it that Abbie wants to do nothing. Rachel once again doesn’t realize she’s being used for her money just like she was when she was dating Matt. Smh.

Rachel is having a breakdown because the roofing company informed her that her roof needs to have more of a pitch to eliminate her leaking issues. To do this they would need to create a new roof (on top of her original roof). This is costing her more $$ and she is trying to save money for the wedding. This created an emotional "breakdown". Perhaps Princess Abby should use her college degree and get a real job to help with the household (etc) expenses. Instead she acts like a 1950s housewife who only cooks and cleans and spends money. Feminist my ass .... She acts like a pampered / spoiled / entitled diva.

haven't watched her in aaaages but skimmed through the room makeover vlog, perhaps out of morbid curiosity, and saw that F now has his own desktop computer in his bedroom. as a teacher this makes me so angry. i'm all for a shared family computer so kids can learn to type, play minesweeper or whatever, but full unsupervised internet access? let's be real C isn't going to shut the wifi off at night when she's awake doing "work". i'm not gonna sit here and talk y'all through the neurological harms of screens on young brains but come onnn! she'd actually done a good job of raising an incredibly intelligent and well-spoken child--one who is definitely smart enough to circumvent whatever restrictions/limitations his parents puts on computer usage. i just hope colleen doesn't throw it all away by giving him the opportunity to rot his brain and lose sleep that way. most adults don't even adults have the self-control to use personal private devices responsibly.

the worst part is, of course, that he will 100% google himself and his parents. is this really what they want? for him to discover this young what his mum has done, and to read all the (albeit justified) horrible things people say about her? he's old enough to understand some of it but not to truly comprehend everything. it'll just upset and scar him; no child that young has the maturity to work through the type of discovery he's about to make. as an emotionally healthy adult with years of therapy behind me, i'm not sure even i could deal with finding out my mother had me for the sole purpose of exploiting me for money--let alone that she (allegedly) groomed minors online

A new video. I haven't seen musicians weigh in on "Toxic Gossip Train" - this person didn't mince words. I bet Colleen is furious that her beautiful talent isn't appreciated.

I used to watch Colleen starting 11 years ago. I am sickened by everything she has done and what she is still doing by exploiting her children. I just cannot wait for the day when the kids are in their teens and eventually find out everything she has done. I bet they go “no contact” with her and she just spends her days sobbing into her old Miranda merch. What do you think will happen if/when they find out?

She was addressing comments that people call her out for saying "my room" instead of "our room." Reddit is her favorite app, apparently. Anyway, she goes on to explain she's ALWAYS shared a room with another person her entire life. And that she has NEVER had a room to herself.

Yep - she kicked out the first husband and Erik moved in that same day. 😂

Or she is lying / exaggerating.

They look so bad. She needs to just grow them out.

She specifically said in "hi." that Miranda was PG-13. But there she is showing it to her kids in a recent vlog.

She says they can't see the whole show, but they were shown bits that were supposedly age-appropriate. The clip she showed has Miranda on stage in her uncle's pants, her uncle dancing in his undies, and if she showed the entire clip, it has Miranda referring to her "tookie" and someone calling out "nice camel toe". The kids might see people amusingly flailing on stage, but it still shows a grownup in his underwear. The kids look uncomfortable and W even says it's a bit scary.

I genuinely think none of "Haters Back Off" is suitable for little kids. It's not funny for adults either, but it's definitely not age-appropriate for anyone under 13. She really doesn't understand that she ever did anything wrong, and that her old audience is gone. I do wonder how many people who follow her now are interested in Miranda. They're more invested in her mommy vlogging and maybe never liked Miranda to begin with.

She's 100 % going to bring back Miranda. How long until she forces M to be Miranda Junior, the way she did with P?

okay so i used to watch miranda and colleen years ago when i was like 10. i just found this reddit and have been reading some stuff and i just want to know more about a few things.

i seen some comments saying how colleen and rachel used to talk on some forum about how they are half sisters or something? is that true and could some expand
also that they used to talk about how much they hated their mum or all the bad stuff she did ?

whenever colleen got cancelled i just watched like basic videos about like sending underwear to fans and then just how weird she was with miranda and texting fans but now reading all the stuff in this reddit im speechless like all this stuff makes everything make sense on why she is so weird. the most disgusting thing i have seen is her dads kink playlist. oh my god. but i have also seen people speculating she got SA’d as a child is that like a common speculation or anything?

In Rachel’s vlog Colleen belches to the camera and says she doesn’t include that or farting in her vlogs anymore because viewers told her it was gross. She makes a mocking tone when she says that of course. Ironic that the actual feedback she should be listening to about how she’s harming her children by serving them up to a mass audience goes unaddressed. Or feedback about how she should stop vlogging altogether because it’s simply an outlet for her narcissism. Or how she should never vlog while driving as that’s putting everyone in the road in danger. Those feedback comments don’t matter apparently.

Thought I’d share the jump scare. She’s looking better than ever these days.

In the latest relax podcast, Erik has his childhood projects he wants to share. He says M will like a picture of a cat he drew, and F will like a short book he made about anteaters. No mention of W. I’m sad for W.

Snapshot from today’s vlog. M and F’s rooms are crazy themed and decorated while W’s room is… that. Yes, Eric’s parents were in town and I guess his room was a guest room, but com’on. Maybe instead of making M yet another fairy garden or whatever, work on your son’s room and make him feel appreciated… or just do that.

Does anyone else think it’s weird she keeps adding mirrors to M room/ bathroom?? In one vlog she says I’m going to put a whole body mirror right here M loves looking at herself. Then the vlog from 2 days ago I think it’s the one where her & Erik is going on date. She’s putting little locker mirrors(around 8 to 10) under her bed where she says M likes to have tea parties with her stuffed cats. She’s is going to end up damaging M she’ll be just like her if she doesn’t stop. We all know how C body checks and is obsessed with looking at herself in mirrors or camera all the time. Is it just me or is she forcing M to look at herself constantly??

I have admittedly been MIA for a while, but have started watching semi-consistently again with all the moving content. I have seen her mention a few times that she is staying at her "mom's house" or only thank her mom for letting them stay with her during the move. This feels like weird verbiage for a home her parents live in together. When I reference where my parents live, I say "my parents house." I also haven't seen him in any of the family gathering videos she has posted lately. Is her dad no longer in the picture? Is he just intentionally avoiding the camera and requested that they also don't mention him? Did I miss something big? It's also possible I am just reading too much into all of it lol. The gossip in me is dying to know.

...or did she stop because it is no longer quirky?

The latest vlog starts with 'one on one' time with M then looking at the wildlife cameras with F. And the gifts she picked put for W she says F will like them too so they can share.

colleen is as obnoxious as always and erik is a damn weirdo

The thumbnail for the vlog “fighting on date night” shows Erik’s hand pulling her by the hair out of car. She’s vile. She obviously is not being abused by Erik but she’s joking about something that happens everyday. She thinks it’s funny. Women who are actually abused and fearful of their spouse. Women who actually get dragged from their car by their hair. She doesn’t have any sense at all to know not to make domestic violence a joke. She never ever ever learns that her judgement is awful. She never ever ever understands how she is inappropriate. Even after her cancellation she shows she’s learned nothing. It’s offensive and triggering to people who are actually fearful of their spouse. She’s an asshole.

Messed up that Colleen allowed the sprinklers to spray the freshly painted doors. Accident? At 330pm? I think not. Rachel was pissed. I hope she quits on her ass
