YOUTUBE star Colleen Ballinger is facing a slew of issues after a video of an interaction with a young fan at a show resurfaced – including the loss of sponsorships.
Colleen, who is best known for her online persona Miranda Sings, has found herself in trouble after a video went viral from one of her previous comedy gigs where she widens a young fan's legs as she lies on her back on stage and then a fart noise blares over the speakers.
A woman, who claims she was the girl in the video, has come forward saying that she was just a teenager at the time and blames Colleen for humiliating and traumatizing her.
Two companies that sponsored Colleen's podcast, One Skin and ZocDoc, told TMZ that they would no longer advertise on the show. The U.S. Sun has reached out to Ballinger's team for comment but did not immediately hear back.
This all comes after Colleen was hit with claims of "grooming" an underaged fan and fellow YouTuber Adam McIntyre, where he alleged that the star sent him a lingerie set when he was 15.
Ballinger addressed the allegations at the time in a video entitled "addressing everything," saying: "In this situation, context is everything. I was giving away clothes that I had just bought, were brand new, and I did not want.
"In this box was a really ugly pair of underwear. People started asking for them in the live stream, and then this boy who made the video about me asked for them," Ballinger said.
