okokok
@@lili.belleeHIII OMG
Good! As you should! They need to get the facts right before they put anything out there
Good move. Good luck. ❤️
Don’t let this slide!!!
“She brought teens into an adult world” is an interesting way of saying she was sending porn to minors 💀.
And groomed them 🤡
@@craigharmon9494there’s a massive difference between minors finding explicit material themselves and an adult in a position of power sending them pornography. a massive difference ethically and LEGALLY
😮😮😂😂 THIS!
Exactllllyyyyyy 😅 bad journalism and has "colleen paid me a lot to write this" lollll
YOOOOOOO the hollywood spinners be spiiiinnnning so hard
vanity fair really did take us down to manipulation station 💀💀
best comment I've seen 😂
💀💀💀
It's the toxic gossip TTRAIINNnN!!
OMG I GOT A ONE WAY TICKET TO MANIPULATION STATION!!!✨✨✨✨💅💅💅💅🤭🤭🤭😍😍😍😍
But hey…… at least they’re having fun
Vanity Fair said “the child wanted it” in defense of Colleen. That’s as DIRTY AS IT GETS.
This article is very similar to the Colleen’s 2020 apology video. They omit so much context to diminish any allegations and make Colleen look like her biggest mistake was to be so open and generous with her fans. Colleen and Vanity Fair put all the blame on the literal kids.
I’m a full-time news reporter, and I can confidently say that writing about this situation & not reaching out to the victims involved is NOT normal, standard or ethical journalism at all. This is incredibly disappointing to see from Vanity Fair, or any major news publication at all. I really hope they can issue a correction and editor’s note and add in your information.
Fancy seeing you here 😂
Dr. Evil: Riiiight.
@@cynicalrecidivist2026 always nice to see a familiar face!😂
While I hope so as well I won’t be bothering to read any future articles or content from them even of they do.
Honestly, I haven’t seen much ethical journalism anywhere lately.
The fact her legal team denied the black face but didn’t acknowledge her sending a SWs nudes to a minor….. I’m speechless
Chileeee the way they mentioned that black face 17 times and glossed over every single other allegation. Sounds good, nobody is even talking about that anymore, how about literally everything else!
also isn’t it trisha’s nudes?? like im not a fan of trisha but like.. they can name her!! except it makes colleen better to say “unnamed SW” rather than “person who thought colleen was her friend” 😒
Thats literalyyyyyy all they’ve got.
I don’t understand how the lawyer she is working with is so high profile. Any good lawyer would know that putting selective statements out addressing very specific lesser accusations, while remaining silent on the most severe and damaging accusations looks VERY bad. If a good lawyer is going to put out a statement for their client, it’s usually very broad and generalized, while trying to sway things in a more favorable light to their client, while still remaining within the confines of the truth (even if they manipulate it). This is just laughable! Colleen sure found a winner! Her and her scumbag lawyer deserve each other.
@@BhappyD i think might be both that the journalist put that statement together poorly and the lawyer just... didnt say anything. both seem a bit incompetent (simply when it comes to writing; i think theyre both malicious otherwise) here. using a compound sentence for the accusations and then putting the defenses to those accusations after that compound sentence, then leaving off one of those defenses, and separating the defense from the accusation it is supposed to be defending, is simply poor writing that only a journalist with one article under their belt (i checked) would do, not a seasoned lawyer. that was my first impression, but then i asked myself: is colleen being defended by a good and seasoned lawyer?? bc literally nothing ab the accusation is mentioned at all in the article? not even a simple “no comment” from the law firm. so yeah everyone on colleen’s side sucks. hope they all go down
This is worse than lazy journalism. This reeks of Colleen exploiting a contact she has at the outlet to speak for her so she doesn't have to. It happens all the time in the industry. It sucks, and corruption like this is par for the course.
Chrissie Foster and N. Galilea had to write books about Pope Francis silencing victims of priestly abuse
We need to seriously investigate all of this man's stories... none of them can be trusted anymore imo.
@@cv6442 this is his first story, except for a small story he wrote for Bennington’s Literary Hub (which is their college news site) and one that he *might* have written for Medium but i’m not sure if it’s really him or just someone with the same name because the pictures look a bit too different
edit: it wasn’t his first article, but when i clicked to see what other articles he wrote for VF, i couldn’t find them. sorry about that!
@@toothcruncher well thank goodness! I hope he knows we'll be watching what he puts out there from now on. He can either change now and have a career or be embarrassed yet again with his subpar work! 😊💪
@@yijunzhou5426 hello! what is this meant to say, exactly? not sure i completely understand
As someone studying journalism - you’re SUPPOSED TO reach out to all sides of the situation. Every single class I’ve taken has told me that.
My guess is her team is paying out whatever media they can to “salvage” her image.
The fact that they fully NAMED him and mentioned him nearly as often as Colleen, and made claims about him all through out the article.. and still didn’t even reach out for a short comment at least? That’s not just unprofessional, that’s malicious. They didn’t only want to restore Colleen’s reputation, they wanted to bring Adam’s _down._
Jesus. This isn’t drama. It’s a damn crime. She’s a criminal. This is gross. Vanity Fair has never been a reliable source but this is just nasty.
It is drama.
@@gushernandez25oh OK so you are a groomer and pedophile too? Because clearly you stand by them, not the victims.
@@gushernandez25 shes a groomer lmao, and she sexualized literal children.. that is a crime not just drama
@@floraljazz it is drama. You do realize Miranda Sings got really popular in 2015 for the same reasons that she is being framed as a groomer now?
@@gushernandez25 yeah but when lawyers are involved and sending porn to minors happens it becomes illegal so slightly more than drama
And how is the line "She brought teens into an adult world" ok to even say?! Admitting thst they brought teens/kids into ANYTHING adult just proves that she was behaving in a VERY adult way with her audience. Again, that's not ok. Why they thought that was a point of positivity is beyond me.
Just like James Charles and his rag piece
I had the exact thought. That line was a real interesting choice.
Ya... No. Their parents were the ones putting them into the adult world. Even AFTER a lot of this stuff was being said about her.
Exactly. That right there sounds like she was grooming teens. I don’t know what the journalist thought he was saying with that line.
@@craigharmon9494 that's not healthy or appropriate.
She bought teens into an adult world and made them feel like it was theirs.
That's grooming. That is what grooming is.
When you read the 'hoping for sympathy' part it broke me. I'm so sorry you're being invalidated again. This is NOT ok and we're all with you
Same. 😢
And honestly even if a then 17 year old wanted sympathy for an adult being innapropriate with them, why would that be bad? 🙃 It's normal to want people to be sympathetic to your mistreatment. Even when they try to paint him bad they just paint him as a normal kid
Same here. Just awful
I burst into tears.
@@catnusur weird as fuck lmfao
“It doesn’t meet the definition of sexual grooming”… except it did, she sent pornography to a child that is a federal sex crime. This journalist should never work another day in their life, ignoring easily accessible facts, not reaching out to the victims and getting a basic fact about where you’re from combined with the lack of journalistic integrity is appalling.
What a great point
and she also said so many sexually explicit things to him… that is sexual grooming idgf that their sexualities don’t align or they didn’t have sex it literally doesn’t mean she didn’t groom him sexually
@@emp116She sent PORN to a CHILD. The context doesn’t matter, if you don’t see that you either are a child yourself or you need to seek immediate psychological counseling, probably both.
@@emp116Also she literally asked a 16 year old for ass pics. That’s sexual grooming. Period.
It makes vanity fair look really effing stupid mags are supposed to face check shit
I’m just gonna call them ‘groomer fair’ from now on. Because they’re chill with that kind of crowd, clearly!
It’s actually scary how many of these journos etc are pro grooming, pdf, predatory]ial.. very scary.
Seconded! 🤮
I read Vogue anyway
@@lutzaby1997 bro shut up this isn't the time to make weird jokes
Vanity Fair told the truth and Adam's 15 minutes is up. Bye Felicia!
Grooming is when someone builds a relationship, trust and emotional connection with a child or young person so they can manipulate, exploit and abuse them. Children and young people who are groomed can be sexually abused, exploited or trafficked. Anybody can be a groomer, no matter their age, gender or race.
Adam has every right to feel the way he feels. all you people saying “that’s not grooming” need a reality check.
colleen meets most of them + gain an Family in return ( unfit mother )
so they may learn the wrong things to built them as new colleen host when she gone
build an relationship with an minor: YES
built trust with underage: YES
emotional connection with a child : YES
Adults can be groomed by other adults, too, in some situations (particularly when the victim is disabled and/or there's a power imbalance.)
@@zekec6088 i agree! good point to make!
“I was closer in age to her SON than I was to HER” this… I’d never done the math and always supported Adam trying to bring up how she would’ve felt if the tables were turned but this is nauseating. Turned my stomach. This is the headline. Keep on fighting the battle while you can Adam. I’m so proud of you and happy to hear your proud of that too. A 17 year old kid had more clarity than a 33 year old. Props to you
Ok, it doesn't matter if a child is begging for my knickers online, if a kid is laughing and asking and begging for my lingerie, I wouldn't send it to them! That's classic victim blaming.
Right!! You cannot blame a CHILD. Even if he was begging, which we know he wasn’t, he was a kid!! It would STILL be on her for entertaining the idea let alone actually doing it
@@emmmma143and like he said he wanted the letter she would send with it not the lingerie. Gosh how did vanity fair mess up THIS much
It’s even worse when the child didn’t “beg” for them at all and is accused by thousands of people online for doing so 😬
That was my thing too. I don't care if he was in front of her begging for days continuously. She was supposed to be the adult and be like "No, that's weird. I'm not gonna do that". We talk all the time, even with parenting, that just because the kid is asking for something does not mean you, an adult, have to give it to them, especially if you know it would be wrong.
its like if mr beast had a alcoholic drink and a fan asked for one but he started blaming the fan for having the alcohol even tho he was the one that gave it to the fan… like no one care if a minor asked for anything or not we care if the adult in the situation did the right or wrong thing.
I'm just an old woman with kids and I've followed you and your story. It filled me with tremendous mama bear anger that they made you cry. Let me tell you something, its not your fault, it was never your fault, and FUCK anyone who tries to make you feel any differently
Bump!! You tell him mama! We are all behind you and this cheer!
Same here!!! It enrages me. Colleen is disgusting and Adam is still so young, but damn. He's out here acting more mature than people twice his age. I feel so proud of him... Is it parasocial? Yep, but he's a good kid ❤
Agree with you!!!!! Also you seem so sweet 💕
@@designer-mama It's not parasocial to be enraged when you see a kid being screwed over by people more powerful then himself it's just natural maternal instincts. It's also just being an empathetic person who wants to see justice done.
I couldn't agree more.
Just sue them and her. Clearly that's what she's scared of. What she did was illegal and she knows it, that's why she got that lawyer. She should have been apologizing and begging you all to not to go to court but instead she publicly attacks the victims. Gotta speak the language she understands then.
“JUST ADMIT YOUR CLIENT IS A CREEPY F**K!” has me in tears omfg. I’m sorry you went thru all this 😭
"She brought teens into an adult world and made it feel like it was theirs" AS IF THAT'S A GOOD THING? AND NOT A SUPREMELY SUS, GROOMY KIND OF THING? The fuuuck
There's a reason we try to keep kids and teens OUT of the adult world. They're not ready for it yet, COLLEEN.
@@briannenurse4640nd children SHOULD stay of it. The victim blaming in Vanity Fair is so disgusting
@@craigharmon9494that doesn’t matter dude
I just want to say that this is probably a hit piece that Colleen’s lawyers and Vanity Fair have made together. If it was a real article they would have included you and the other victims in this case. Just in case you didn’t know this is a common occurrence…
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
I agree. This was done on purpose.
@@breausephI just figured they paid the author to have a certain perspective.. but I have no magazine experience at all!
@@breauseph I don't agree with that they would have to have a vested interest in Colleen's career. Her lawyer could have contacted them himself about publishing an article. For all we know he has friends there. He's a well known lawyer.
@@breausephMy guess isnt that Vanity Fair as an institution gives a fuck to smear Adam, but it was an oversight of trusting Andrew Quintana had either done his “research” or believed that all claims were unsubstantiated anyway so there was nothing to lose. From what I can find the author isn’t a VF staff writer, he is a guest or freelance writer and extremely green (graduated this year and doesn’t seem to have a body of work that comes up on the first page of a google search). Letting someone so inexperienced lead this discussion on VF’s behalf already feels like they don’t care much about the quality of it’s coverage. I think it’s possible Andrew already had a conflict of interest with someone on Colleen’s “team.”
It was quite some time ago that I went to school for journalism so this is entirely anecdotal, but from my experience trying to get a story published when multiple publications have already ran something similar, having a fresh or unprecedented take was praised. I wouldn’t be surprised if whoever green lit this article doesn’t know majority of the actual allegations, assumed Andrew had struck gold here with a hot take and trusted just because he is younger, he’s the resident expert on internet drama. QAing doesn’t mean anything if you don’t know what to look for. Again all speculation. Will be interested in how this shakes out!
Seeing Adam shed such devastating and frustrating tears, I've literally never felt such scathing rage enter my body. I'm so sorry, Adam, that this article was just so downright wrong and disgusting. You didn't deserve that, at all. None of you (the victims) did. None of you asked for this. You were all children, easily impressionable and Colleen took advantage of that for her sick and twisted gains. Keep your head up, we're all behind you!
And Colleen’s defenders are here saying really shitty things as well.
I worked for a rich school in Paris. Our tiny school (or staff members) were constantly having features in big publications like Marie Claire (like “A Day in the Life of a Teacher”) just because many of the kids attending had parents who were journalists or in media. And many of the staff members had friends in media just from their friend group of being at the school. Everyone was connected with each other, the music industry, politically, sports, etc. It truly is a small world when you’re “high up.” I would not be surprised at all if her new fancy law firm has friends at Vanity Fair.
Dear lord they make it sound like this epic show down… but in reality it’s just a 30 year old woman harassing a child. How the hell can they attempt to demonize a MINOR!?
He does look like a demon though 🤷🏾♂️ the lawyers definitely won this round. The way they describe grooming is going to stick with adults, and you know actual legal personnel. Not your CZcams definition lol.
@@cunningfox7838Sending porn to a child is grooming regardless of context oh my fucking god.
@@cunningfox7838ur cringe
@@cunningfox7838he's a demon? Let me guess, Colleen is a saint then? Colleen is a groomer. You defending her doesn't change facts.
@cunningfox7838 I don’t think it’s a very good look to give credit to the same law firm who worked with Prince Andrew…
Vanity Fair seems to forget that you were UNDERAGE when all this happened. They were twice your age and acting that way to you when you were a child.
Vanity fair may as well be in advanced stages of senility at this point with all the things they conveniently *forgot* about this case
they didn’t forget, they just don’t care bc colleen is paying them!
@RedHotMessResell Vanity fair should be canceled too😒😒😒
You just know when Adam says "wait, hold on" then starts pulling something up that he's gonna be bringing hard facts 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Adam, I’m an old mom and wanted to let you know that I don’t always have time to watch your videos, but I put them on in the background while I do chores at night after my daughter’s asleep. You deserve ALL the views. 👏 Rooting for you.
Yep. Same. 42 years old, and I’m with Adam.
Oh my goodness in what other situation does a publication not reach out to the victims? Absolutely not!
even if they wanna say they stay neutral, y not reach out to both parties??? clearly theyre biased, hence y no one should listen to wut they say. especially if theyre lyin bout evidence
@@Astr0_Man what is also bad is her lawyer giving information contributing to the lies around evidence, it goes against their code of conduct
@@craigharmon9494you sound like you send n*des to minors
@@craigharmon9494 I say this respectfully, you should really educate yourself.
@@thecommentpoliceeducate is the nicest term you could have put there lmao, I applaud your control
The fact that her legal team denied the claims of black face but didn’t deny that she sent a sex worker’s nudes to a minor when the two were presented in the same sentence says a lot.
I'm surprised they would even keep a sentence like that in ...
I'm not a fan of her or defending but you can clearly tell it's dark green face paint. Some people can't see color I guess.
@@RedRoseSeptember22the point is that they included the sex worker picture thing but didn’t refute it
@@RedRoseSeptember22Yes you are cause ur arguing against a point that wasn’t even made. She’s quick to refute the blackface allegations but doesnt refute or disprove the claims of sending/showing pornographic material to minors. But “some” people don’t have reading comprehension skills I guess…
@@RedRoseSeptember22the point was that she ignored the main thing for the one she could disprove
Adam that article is absolutely disgusting. I am in absolute shock. I am so glad you are calling them out - this is insane.
I am genuinely sorry that Adam is going through this and this is a super unfair and messed up situation but I was howling at 26:57
"And you did it at the Vanity Fair article!" like Tati 😂
“Did you send nudes to minors?”
“I did NOT perform in blackface!”
Jaida Essence Hall: LOOK OVER THERE 👀👀👀
💀
It wasn't blackface it was GREEN... Ok gurl
Colleen Ballinger, not a groomer just a loser, really decided to declare all out war with the nastiest tactics on a 20 year old who she groomed for years as a minor. I'm so sorry Adam. Stay strong, you are not fighting alone
He has so much support and he has receipts this is not just drama , great journalism
Colleen ballinger a groomer AND a loser!
She’s out for blood now. This is the narcissistic rage coming out. We’re all behind you Adam ❤️ sending love and strength.
Imagine writing an article about a grown ass woman grooming a child and trying to paint the child as the villain 💀 EMBARRASSING
She got herself the “I’m guilty” lawyer 💀
Yes!!! She sure did
how silly vanity fair didn't even bother to reach out to the actual victims of colleen and just reached out to colleen 😍 they actually suck like the audacity is insane
100% colleen reached out to vanity.
@@aeches definitely her and her team reaching out to defend her from minor claims and in return defame actual victims. There weren't many routes for her to take aftet posting that shitty not-apology but did not expect this to be the one she took. now looking back at the article and her current actions it makes more sense she reached out rather than vanity.
They didn't do any research and lied about the whole thing journalism no better than that guy who was sued over lying about Sandy hook Alex Jones
I will never view Vanity Fair as anything but a piece of shit now
I'm getting warm fuzzies thinking about how badly Vanity Fair is going to "fare" when they see just how badly they screwed up! I am SO going to enjoy the gloves coming off now Adam! You get 'em kiddo!
This article is so obviously paid. I work in marketing and it is VERY common for brands to place paid articles written by the brand on media. She & her legal team surely hired a PR fixer 🙄
To me it says everything i need to know that VF didnt reach out to any of the victims, and only reached out to the abuser. Thats so gross.
Sue them!!! This is getting ridiculous. Why release articles and not reach out to the victims also. This is so frustrating. They can wait a couple of months to reply to the allegations, but the black face accusation, within hours. Ugh. Keep speaking your truth.
they didn't reach out because obviously colleen doesnt want to be speaking on the same articles where the truth is being spoken. its all about money. Vanity fair knows people want to hear colleens side and thats what makes them money, the chances of her speaking to them would be 0 if they also had asked the victims statements. anyone can see that colleen is a groomer and its not personal its just $$$$$$. Thats all they care about, they don't care about the truth.
If it’s a money game, Adam might not be in the position to go through something like that. Who knows how much this shitty stuff costs
This article has made me feel sick. I was also groomed as a child & it feels like the blame will always be placed upon us, that we should've known better. I'm so sorry they've dragged you like that, I really hope you can fight it ❤
This is so horrible. Especially when all you wanted was an apology for the way she treated you. You were a child and loved this woman, you idolized her. And for her to treat you like this is just appalling. But that’s how narcissistic minds work. It’s always this narcissistic mindset of
“That didn’t happen and if it did happen it wasn’t that bad and if it was that bad it’s not a big deal and if it is a big deal then I didn’t mean to do it and if I did mean to do it then it’s your fault.”
Please make sure you take care of yourself Adam and take social media breaks. I know how draining a narcissist can be.
The victim blaming from such a mainstream publisher is so scary
especially victim blaming a minor?? if adults won't stand up for minors who will???
@@jasmineguerrero5430the who will scares me, like genuinely. If the only person most minors can trust betray them, then who will stand up for them….
I've tweeted Vanity Fair directly to say no research done, poor excuse for journalism and asking it if is a paid for piece.

i have no words
I’m waiting for Andrew Callaghan to step it up on the victim blaming game real soon
@@Dave102693who's that guy? Has it been happening with other past years?
No different than the SNL skit about the Try Guys a few months ago.
Did they conform it was paid for? (I don’t agree in any way, shape or form with what she did or how she handled it. I want to be sure this is proven before it’s added to my list of reasons to despise her)
Watching you on this journy has been very cathartic as it's made me realize a lot of shit. The biggest being that it doesn't have to be sexual for it to be grooming. Your very valid anger, and your refusal to allow this to happen to you again? From one survivor to another, I'm so fucking proud of what you are doing.
❤ same here.
me too!!!!
I’m an old(ish) lady in Norway, and I’m appalled by what CB and now Vanity Fair are doing to you. I admire so much your strength, it must be so hard to be in the middle of this. You are so smart and well spoken, and so are the other victims. Stay strong! Lots of support ❤❤❤
I wonder how much Colleen pays to get Vanity Fair to publish these articles.
This is unsurprising. Vanity Fair have been on the wrong side of history many times.
VANITY FAIR DEFAMED YOU?! That's honestly the last place I expected to be honest. But you can do this Adam, I still believe in you!
Vanity Fair will write whatever you want for a check.
@@Elena-er7zp Really? I actually never knew that, thanks for the info.
All of the news that way. They.paid thousands for Govenor Cuomo's accusers. And theirs weren't even as severe as Adams
Sadly, that’s how a lot of “journalism” these days works. Money talks more than the truth. If you have the money, they will spin a story in your favor. There are very few honest journalists left who work for big news/media corporations. It’s all about money and pushing agendas. They don’t care about the truth as long as their pockets are lined.
This will be an important lesson for many in the audience-you cannot trust a big name publication, you cannot trust any publication, even if they appear to do good reporting... It might just be that their slant generally agrees with you. Then something like this comes out, spinning a yarn that we all see right through... The surest way to real truth is to cast a wide net. Read/watch outlets you like, outlets you hate, big names, little niche sites... And always check in with yourself-why do you believe what you believe? What do you think you know and how do you think you know it? Don't get too comfortable... every belief we have should be disprovable.
Adam if you haven't seen yet, Runkle of the Bailey talked about this! He absolutely scolds them & defends you so, so beautifully! (Canadian Defense lawyer). sending love & all my support!
Adam reacted to that on the Twitch follow-up to this video
Mentioning the anti AH 'brigade' wasn't the W they thought it was 😂 AH was found guilty let's remember that
In my opinion, the reason that Colleen’s lawyer went after the black face thing was because it’s something they could easily disprove, and in doing so they were trying to undermine the more serious accusations.
That's my impression as well
sue. sue. sue. i know it’s a lot of stress on you but it will teach them a lesson in the long run towards how they treat other victims of similar situations, and you’re strong enough to do it.
I don't know if he can afford it. I'll chip in on a gofundme if he starts one, even though I'm damn broke.
Predators defending a predator. They're doing everything in their power to try to promote a culture in which those victims of abuse that try to speak out are harrassed and intimidated into silence.
You're out of your fucking mind. You really need to talk to someone if you think the staff of Vanity Fair is predators.
dude. i cannot fcking stress this enough. even if adam cried, begged, asked 500 times for the lingerie, HE WAS A CHILD. if he asked coll*en to off herself then she would do it?? based on how she is trying to blame him "he asked for it" SO WHAT??? HE WAS A CHILD WHO DIDN'T KNOW BETTER!!!!
Damn that article is so gross. Can’t even imagine having to go through all you have, especially at such a young age. That’s serious strength, and you have a ton of support.
Hope everyone involved in this hit piece gets what’s coming to them. It’s like they took “f*ck around and find out” as a challenge.
Often, law firms or lobbyists will pay publications to include articles they've written in-house to try and push an agenda in the press. My guess is that her attorney or one of his employees wrote this and paid Vanity Fair to publish it.
Wearing "green face" to impersonate Beyonce instead of black face gives the same energy as "but they didnt tell me i couldn't sing"
I almost feel like they KNEW if they wrote it like this, it would get more attention because of how ridiculous it is.
This is what happens when you have 0 journalistic integrity.
Ballinger's team is paying Vanity Fair for these pieces. Change my mind.
Just like James Charles.
Given that Colleen's attorneys have represented other high-profile public figures, I would NOT be surprised if the Vanity Fair writing/research team had a prior relationship with them. It may be like a trade-off situation where the lawyers give the exclusive scoop to the people over at Vanity Fair in exchange for listening to their side and reporting it in a biased manner. In journalism, it's all about connections and maintaining them, so... yeah. Vanity Fair usually has a pretty decent reputation of being on the right side of things, so this seems really unusual.
This is exactly what I thought watching the video.
Yup THIS
I wouldn't be surprised if they also provided large swathes of copy so the journalist had an easy job....
The amount of mental gymnastics this "journalist" had to do to not only smear you but also try to make Colleen's actions seem quirky is.... baffling.
The author of that article, Andrew Quintana, has since taken down his social media and his Vanity Fair profiles. Interesting. I hope the paycheck for this hit piece was worth killing his journalism career.
"Man who wrote in support of face-eating leopards surprised to learn that his own face is just as edible to those leopards"
How are they victim shaming the actions of a child?
It’s gross how VF tried to frame the situation as “drama” between you and Colleen when there are SO many other people who have spoken out and provided proof to support what you’ve been saying. It’s not a “he said, she said;” it’s “he has solid evidence from multiple sources, she said.”
Adam I am so sorry a journalist published something so horrific. I hope you find space to grieve and heal through this wave of attacks. The article is absolute garbage,. You've shown amazing grace and restraint for someone so young. Be kind to yourself through all of this.
You made your statement. You got your truth out. Move on. You’re making your entire like to her. 😅
At nearly the exact 50 minute mark, I saw the determination and lust for justice that indicate to me that you know what you can and must do. Don’t stop until you conquer this. 💪 Don’t piss off the Irish 💪
That’s like saying that creepy/aunt or uncle doesn’t get to be held accountable bc no sex happened 😅. But they still made children feel unsafe and uncomfortable and …..made them play out in weird sexual degradation kink situations.
They couldn’t even get your hometown/country right. Embarrassing would be a step up from how Vanity Fair should be feeling right now. Lazy journalism with such a serious subject matter is absolutely disgraceful.
Thats absolutely a hit piece. None of these ppl want to hold Collen accountable. I just cant believe it. And a publication as popular as Vanity Fair?? Boycott those bit*hes!!!! Holy smokes! I am in shock i think. Do ppl no longer have morals. There is right and wrong, and no matter what's happened or who it involves, everyone should ALWAYS be on the side of what is right. And painting you the way they did, is just horrific! Toxic crap like this is why the "Colleens" of the world get away with their shite!!!! Love and light to you Adam. 💕
She’s very cruel and this is more evidence of it. We’ve got your back Adam.
Everyone needs to get together on twitter and wherever else…. AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE and put them on blast for being okay with an adult grooming a minor. Seriously!! This IS UTTERLY DISGUSTING
I thought journalist had to fact check their facts to avoid being sued?
If this article was about any other topic, this would be considered shoddy, unprofessional, and unethical based on the bare minimum research that went into this. People are acting like it’s not a problem here because it’s about “CZcams drama” but if adequate research has been done, people would be aware of the gravity of the situation.
No, they did good research. You're just hysterical. You've lost touch with reality.
@@michaeldonnan6767In the original article, they got his residence and the date of publishing of his video wrong. They didn't even reach out to the victims for any comment. You're dumb.
How stupid can vanity fair and colleen's lawyers be to lie about things that were factually proven to be true? Adam, this proves that colleen is trying to do damage control. She should just accept that her career is kaput
This screams paid for article by Colleen's legal team. Any intelligent person can see right through this.
Books are often the only way those hurt can get there point across when big publications are doing this. Chrissie Foster wrote STILL STANDING after PopeFrancisHad sided with the priest who silenced her kids that were abused by priests as minors. N. Galilea also wrote books on it.
“She brought teens into an adult word and then those teens turned against her” WTF?!?! How can someone ACTUALLY write and publish that line?!?! A 14 year old OR ANY TEEN, shouldn’t have to deal with the adult world!! Teens are still CHILDREN and aren’t they supposed to be protected?? What in the hell is our society coming to that someone is blaming children for the irresponsible, inappropriate behavior of a fully grown, adult woman???? It’s pathetic really
Bingo. It's very much an echo of the people who glorify kids who've been forced to adopt adult responsibilities of being "mature."
It's not admirable to rob a child of their youth.
Watching you get more and more upset as you read that defamation broke my heart.
Wow Vanity Fair really effed up with this one 💀 They literally did research on a single side of this issue and said “Yea, that’s a good article, totally not biased at all!”
'the groomer said she didn't groom kids so I think it's okay guys'
‘In fact she has said, on her controversial apology music video, that she is in fact a loser not a groomer’
This is ABYSMAL I’m actually shocked beyond belief. I’m so sorry Adam, I can’t even imagine how emotionally taxing this all must be.
Tearing CZcams apart? How unaware. Almost every single person is against Colleen’s actions.
Grooming isn't only sexual... I guess this is something everyone is learning 😑
What do you think she was grooming him for? What was she after?
@@michaeldonnan6767 more of just control.. if I had my guess people enjoy that just as much
@@michaeldonnan6767 Colleen profited off these kids, their work and content. Give it a rest.
@@user-mv5zt8qd9l You give it a rest you dishonest sack of crap. You and your lynch mob buddies ruined her career... move on.
@@michaeldonnan6767 There'd be no lynch mob had Colleen not abused kids. Cope harder.
The thing about the internet is that the proof will always be out there. No matter what people say anymore Colleens creepy ass history will be out there forever. shame on the people trying to help her worm her way out of accountability
I hope Adam never stops talking about this whole situation. Can't let her "win" again
This journalist should be fired. Writing such a vile hit piece like this violates journalistic integrity and really common decency
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Vanity Fair that gave the green light to have Miley Cyrus and her father pose for their cover in a controversial/inappropriate way when Miley was underage? If that's the case, then this article totally tracks with their past stunts. Definitely not the magazine I would look to to cover this topic in an unbiased way...just saying.
This is what happens when journalists do ZERO research, have 0 journalistic integrity, and are paid to do a puff piece. 💯
This is the first comment I’m writing about any of this, and that’s because I had to say it- I hope that woman gets justice, which for her, should be a jail cell. This world is disgusting, full of people willing to discount your experiences, Adam, and I can tell you since her uke video she’s shown herself as a full blown narcissist… I’m hanging onto your story to see this narcissist fall, I believe it would bring a certain catharsis for a lot of us.
COULD YOU IMAGINE IIF SHE WERE A MAN, HOW DIFFERENT THIS WOULD BE! IM SO ANGRY ABOUT THIS WTF!
How could anyone in their right mind defend her, even as a lawyer I wouldn't have touched this, they are so dumb. Keep doing what your doing Adam if this is all she has, she's done.❤
Me: screams "AND YOU DID IT AT MY VANITY FAIR ARTICLE"
Adam legit 1 minute later in the video: "And you did it at my vanity fair article"
😱😱😱😱
bet she payed lots for that article.
If you sue her for defamation all the stuff she did to minors will be brought up infront of a judge and the fact she sent porn to minors which is illegal she could get tried for it
Yep! The discovery phase would be absolutely devastating for her!
To have a well respected legacy media company allow Colleen's team to release a hit piece against you must feel extremely overwhelming. I really hope you're doing ok.
It's not lost on anyone that they've taken a swing for the fences because they're scared.
Keep yourself surrounded by people that care about you and can help guide you through as this may not be the only tactic they use.
God, I was here when people defamed you back in 2020 and its so upsetting to see them STILL defaming you or blaming you or otherwise not holding colleen accountable for her actions, I'm so sorry you still have to deal with this but I am proud of you for continuing to stand up for yourself and not taking shit. We love you Adam!
OMFG this article did you so dirty!! This is ridiculous!! Like they are just completely NOT looking at the facts...how can they even publish this!?
