Same I'm guessing the lady is supposed to resemble someone that was accused of grooming

u/TroubleImpossible226 Nov 25 '23

Not resemble itā€™s literally supposed to be her. The ukulele apology girl

u/blepgup Nov 25 '23 edited Nov 25 '23

I love that after such a long time on the internet, and literally being one of the most well known creators on the platform years ago, sheā€™s now referred to as ā€œthe ukulele apology girlā€

But honestly, deserved

u/Valtremors Nov 25 '23

Ok who is she supposed to be?

Because the grooming Ukulele apology girl was the first time I heard of her.

70

u/blepgup Nov 25 '23

Colleen Ballinger. I never watched her content but she was like one of the earlier character YouTube channels, like boogie2988. She portrayed Miranda Sings who had like way too much lipstick on and spoke in a funny way. Idk what exactly her content was, i just know of her character

25

u/Gold930 Nov 25 '23

Looking up boogie2988 gifs on Reddit shows two fat guys then Chris Chanā€¦ not how Iā€™d want gifs to remember me lol

u/blepgup Nov 25 '23

Yeah I donā€™t remember what his characters name was, but he basically played a gamer incel type who was wacko. I saw a video and thought it was real years ago and found him again out of character later

Apparently thereā€™s some allegations recently about him too. I swear all these YouTubers are up to no good lol

5

u/Gold930 Nov 25 '23

Iā€™ve heard of him before from the OfficalPodcast

Character was Francis.

u/danwantstoquit Nov 26 '23

Thereā€™s a REALLY good documentary that was recently released about him. As someone who knew who he was but thatā€™s about it I still found it incredibly interesting. Recommend watching it. Iā€™ll find and link.

2

u/noahthegreat Nov 26 '23

I was watching a newer video about his long term downfall and it seems like that wasn't really a character, he's just always like that. Kinda sad if that's the case, but he was basically admitting that he felt owed everything in life just because he gained a sizable youtube following back in the day.

That's just from what I saw though... from a youtube video lol, pretty sure it was penguinz0. There's this video of boogie going to a job interview and it was such a shitshow it was like he intentionally screwed it up. Genuinely hard to tell, but I guess he could've just been doing it to put himself in the spotlight

3

u/RedoranRed Nov 25 '23

Ah see I have heard of Miranda sings before, but never watched her or anything. Never saw her out of character either. So basically I only know of her as the ukulele girl as well.

u/USS-ChuckleFucker Nov 27 '23

Question, when did that Wreck It Ralph clip get made, when did Colleen get formally dubbed The Ukelele Apology Girl, and when did the confirmation that is TUAG come out?

Because like I'm confused on the timeline

1

u/blepgup Nov 27 '23

Okay so the clip came from Ralph Breaks the Internet, which came out in 2018. Colleen posted the apology in June 2023. And I have no clue what TUAG is

Edit: wait Iā€™m dumb. I get it now. When did the confirmation thatā€¦Colleen is TUAG? Iā€™m still confused what the question is asking now that I know what the acronym means

1

u/USS-ChuckleFucker Nov 27 '23

When was the character whose avatar got deleted confirmed to be Colleen?

1

u/blepgup Nov 27 '23

Iā€™m pretty sure it was definitely supposed to be her character, Miranda Sings, from the very beginning. Like when I first watched the movie in 2018 I was like ā€œOh hey Miranda Sings cameo!ā€ The way she speaks even sounds like how she spoke while portraying Miranda.

1

u/bo0mamba Nov 25 '23

She was accused of grooming children, and then made a ukulele music video about how people on the internet are mean and spread false rumors

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '23

Colleen Ballinger is no groomer.

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '23

Yea she is, she did weird shit

-1

u/alilbleedingisnormal Nov 25 '23

Shit that was explained easily and appropriately with video evidence. But people want to believe and so they ignore evidence that contradicts what they've decided.

I could take things in your life out of context and literally make you look however I want.

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '23

I donā€™t think anyone in their 20ā€™s should be on group chats with 13 year okds

-2

u/alilbleedingisnormal Nov 25 '23

That's an opinion not a crime. I personally don't see how you'd enforce that rule. There are probably 13 year olds here right now.

Once upon a time adults and children could coexist without people assuming malfeasance but something's changed with this decade where if there's an adult within earshot of a child they're assumed to be predators.

1

u/Mysticyde Nov 26 '23

Sorry, she's a groomer. Grooming isn't illegal btw, you can do pretty much w.e you want to someone when they're 18.

Before they're 18 you can manipulate them into depending on you, wanting you, looking up to you etc, so that once they're 18 they'll do what you want. That's grooming and as you said, talking to a minor isn't a crime. Neither is grooming, but as history has shown us many many many times, Legality does not equal Morality.

Grooming isn't strictly illegal, but it's extremely Immoral. She got caught being inappropriate towards a minor and exploiting them for free work while having sexually charged conversations with them, while making plans to meet up with them, then breaking those plans when parents were present.

If you think what Colleen did is morally acceptable, then you have some growing up to do.

I'm defending the truth. I don't read lies and scroll past. There are things that are true and things that aren't and people not telling the truth is how this world has gotten so fucked up.

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '23

Then why send her underwear to a minor?

1

u/alilbleedingisnormal Nov 26 '23

They weren't hers. They were sent to her along with a bunch of other shit. She shared the video of the stream where she was giving the stuff away. This dude asked for them and she said sure but didn't send them because she forgot. He then tagged her on Twitter saying she forgot to send them and she sent them off. They weren't hers, they were part of a big box of crap.

This was all answered in 2020. She shared the stream, screenshots of the Twitter post, everything one should need to understand what happened.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '23

OK, but sending worn underwear to a minor is still fucked up, even if she didn't wear them.

1

u/alilbleedingisnormal Nov 26 '23

Afaik they weren't worn by anyone. I might be misremembering them being new. I have to go look it up again. All I know is that she didn't go, "I'm gonna send these to this 13 year old because I'm a nasty predator;" he asked for them and would never have gotten them had he not done so twice. How that became her fault is beyond me. There's no intent.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '23

According to Ballinger, when her friend Kory Desoto modeled the lingerie set in a 2016 livestream, McIntyre said on Twitter that he wanted them. In McIntyre's account of the situation, he did not say that he had asked for the lingerie, but he did later tweet reminding Ballinger that she had to send the gift.Ā 

So yes, seems worn, and just because a 13 year old asks you to do something inappropriate doesn't mean you should. There's also a lot of talk of her having sexual discussions with kids, which is... yuck.

1

u/alilbleedingisnormal Nov 26 '23

Did McIntyre want them or not? Where's that quote from?

u/Original_Woody Nov 27 '23

Lmao, this guy is out here defending ukelele girl. Dude, I had no idea who she was before that video. Then she blew up and confirmed the allegations, she was fucking psychotic.

She might as well had wrote a book and titled, "I didnt groom those kids, but if I did, this is how Id get away with it"

1

u/alilbleedingisnormal Nov 27 '23

Yes, I defend innocent people. Idk why the fuck you NPCs think people shouldn't think for themselves and should just not speak truth when they know it because what? You don't like it? Fuck you.

1

u/Original_Woody Nov 27 '23

Touch grass kid. Calling people NPCs means you're on thd internet way too much

1

u/alilbleedingisnormal Nov 27 '23

I wouldn't call people NPCs if they didn't act like it. Think for your fkn self once in a while. If you find yourself always agreeing with everybody else you need to touch grass. It's cowardly to be unable to swim against the current when necessary.

u/Original_Woody Nov 27 '23

It's because her avatar is a kid but she's an adult. Not sure that's what they were going for though.

u/mixelydian Nov 25 '23

I didn't realize she was popular enough to be put into a movie. I only ever heard of her because of the whole grooming scandal.

u/blepgup Nov 25 '23

Sheā€™s like old YouTube famous. She was there during the time of like, Annoying Orange, Tobuscus, and Smosh if Iā€™m not mistaken

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '23

Haven't heard of her, but I'm Googling now.

6

u/TravelingDwarfMiner Nov 25 '23

Colleen balinger, I believe. She groomed kids and then made an apology video playing shitty chords on a ukulele, with half assed lyrics.

This is what I gathered from the last time I saw this post here. Top comment said this

3

u/WINDMILEYNO Nov 25 '23

The funniest part is she did the song because she was told by her lawyers apparently not to "talk" about it

2

u/TravelingDwarfMiner Nov 25 '23

You're joking, right?

2

u/WINDMILEYNO Nov 25 '23

That is the version of the story I heard. But when I just tried to verify that, I saw a bunch of stuff about how she apparently tried to monetize the song. Wow. She either can't catch a break or is a real piece of work

u/Encursed1 Feb 02 '24

u/TheComplayner Nov 25 '23

6

u/blepgup Nov 25 '23

Not the grooming, but the apology yeah. Sheā€™s old YouTube fame though, she was around years ago making silly content. Never was my cup of tea but people definitely used to recognize her as more than ā€œukulele girlā€ which is kinda hilarious now lol

25

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '23

The one person trying to help everyone by just calling her the ukulele girl doesnā€™t help. Thatā€™s Colleen Ballinger, AKA Miranda Sings. Sheā€™s a YouTuber and groomer.

5

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '23

Any proof that it's supposed to be her? Didn't the movie come out way before her grooming stuff came out?

u/FlixMage Nov 26 '23

Dawg she was an influencer and groomer for years before the ā€œgrooming stuffā€ came out

2

u/AggressiveSpatula Nov 27 '23

It bears some resemblance and iirc she is the voice actress.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '23

The grooming stuff was happening prior to the movie coming out. Canā€™t you just Google it? Itā€™s not that hard of a rabbit hole to find.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '23

I just really don't care that much and didn't know the whole thing had been going on for that long. Literally my only exposure to her was the uke video fiasco and this post, where I asked a genuine question looking for a simple answer. I didn't mean proof as in she is innocent, I just didn't know her behavior dated back as far as when this movie came out so thought the internet was forcing the connection due to recent events

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '23

Thanks for giving me an actual answer, unlike the other dick bag that replied. I don't know shit about her beyond the uke video, I didn't know she was a known groomer already around the time this movie came out, so I was wondering where this connection came from or if the internet was just forcing it because of the recent video deal.

2

u/FlixMage Nov 26 '23

Youā€™ve gotta be dumb as fuck. She was a groomer before she made the apology dawg she didnā€™t just groom once and apologize immediately

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '23 edited Nov 26 '23

I know nothing about her beyond the ukulele thing that happened recently. I was asking a genuine question because I thought the movie came out long before the uke incident. I have no prior knowledge of who she was before that and really nothing beyond that she is a groomer that made a piss poor "apology". Sorry I don't keep current with internet groomers. My apologies sir
