I’d love to see a do-over of this segment, but with Oliver, Becky, and Adam instead of Johnny
Yeah...the Actual victims only!!!!!
Johnny: 1-32mins
Becky: 32-36 mins
Johnny: 36-38 mins
Becky: minute 39
Johnny: 40-43 mins
Becky: 43-44 mins
Johnny: 44-50mins
Oliver: 50-53
Becky: 53-54, 55-57 mins
*55 min mark johnnys WiFi dropped* returns at 58 mins
Johnny: 58-59
Becky & Oliver: min 59
Johnny: 1 hr- 1 hr 1 min
Johnny spoke about 45/an hour podcast covering three people stories..
Becky roughly 11 minutes and Oliver for about 3. There was so much more on Oliver’s story that I wish we could’ve heard
thank you for timing all of this, i was curious about how long he talked for
Now I remember why I started watching the video but gave up very soon. Listening to Johnny was so annoying.
YEEEEPPPP. I said this back then and everyone told me i was blaming and shaming when all i was saying was hes behaving in a way thats appalling and i am a survivor so i know the weight of it and its not something we are ever happy about recalling and theres so many times he just looks the happiest hes ever been telling these stories. very gross to realize NOBODY fact checked his claims before giving him a platform. its irresponsible by everyone reporting on this. just sayin
@@fraufuchs9555same, i remember starting to watch the video, but never finished it. for some reason I always had an off feeling about Johnny, well now it makes sense
@@WolfieSilveirasame, I'm a survivor and I know everyone copes differently, but he always seemed SO excited to talk about it and he seemed so focused on himself. Once he said the "it's not black face it's green face paint" I didn't keep up with him anymore.
please make another podcast addressing Johnny's lies (without shifting the focus from colleen's grooming). colleen and johnny deserve to be deplatformed, they are both mean, arrogant and dangerous
Just saw the video about the conversation with Swoop. Johnny seemed so much older than the other people involved, now it makes sense why he was so sus. I really hope Ethan follows up on this.
AGREED!!!! This Johnny guy was involved in diabolical garbage, seems he’s really trying to be famous!!!!
That Swoop Documentary had me so revitived I was was so shocked but absolutely some of the greatest work I've seen absolutely amazing ❤
I came back here for This Comment! Thank You
Sorry to nitpick but “mean and arrogant” aren’t reasons to deplatform someone, them being dangerous is.
Johnny is disgusting and selfish and for someone who got most of the screen time he sure did talk about literally nothing. I don’t think he actually answered a single one of your questions.
He's the second person I know of who fabricated an abuse story and both of them talk like that. They speak sooooo much but say nothing at the same time.
lets also say ethan or someone should have had a plan in place to make sure everyone was given a voice and a chance to talk, its clear the other 2 are upset and annoyed by this and its also clear that one person has been doing all the talking, its weird they didnt redirect their questions to be distributed once they realizrd he wasnt letting others answer.
45 minutes. he spoke for Forty Five Minutes.
I hope they re-do the interview. The team did not check the facts.
It's so sad to me for Oliver and Becky that Johnny talks over all of them...they deserve their own video, not an interview where they sit listen to John spin lies to make his trauma more **interesting** than their
I just noticed they rolled their eyes like seven times
@vvotchme1576 Yeah that’s understandable.
the way she licensed the song so she could claim the main channel video is sooo diabolical
Nasty woman!!!! Just proves she is a manipulator!!!
Someone needs to make a parody that you tubers can replace the sound with.
@@iannuccatlol wow. Just wow.
And we all thought iluminatghi was bad.... They are fighting for the worst CZcamsr alive spot or something?
@@lucydontdoxmeit legit sounds like you could play “chocolate rain” by Tay zonday over the top perfectly
Interviewing a pathological liar while 2 Colleen victims listen*
I’m so glad you called Johnny Jack now 💀 JOHNNY DISLIKE BUTTON
Coming back to this after Swoop’s new video is honestly heart wrenching
She said “You f*cked with Swoop and found out” best moment of the whole thing.
So am I.
H3H3 doesn't always do the real research
Because if they did he wouldn't be on
@@andrealee8561that’s an issue with all these youtubers trying to “help” victims but the reality is, they want the views. sad
Oh, this is so infuriating watching it again! He’s disgusting to be so dismissive of the REAL victims present! He REALLY loves the sound of his own voice. He is such a good example of how narcissism can be so incredibly dangerous. And I’m frustrated at how badly this “discussion” was directed. I admire Swoop so much & can’t wait for Josh’s interview to be released. Her light is blinding & the people she covers SHOULD feel very, very worried!
Omg me too
Friendly reminder to all the Colleen lovers - she sent nudes of Trisha Paytas to minors - she should face criminal charges.
Sounder some people definitely deserve criminal charges
Colleen Is innocent, Also made a vid on Toxic Adam👍
@@ville__ no one cares colleen get off your fake accounts girl
But, it's also been said she thought Trisha was a joke, so Colleen must have sent them as a joke, to people who would see the intended humor. It doesn't seem she sent this,with the intent of causing sexual arousal.
@@craigharmon9494nah if you send porn to a minor that’s it “intent” doesn’t apply here and even if it did for some reason it wouldn’t excuse this
johnny was just hurt that he didn’t get what he wanted from colleen and josh in terms of attention and friendship. he saw himself as more than a fan and when he found out he wasn’t special he decided to chase fame AND get revenge on them by going on this press tour, even reaching out to podcasts asking them to have him on. you can tell he loves soaking up the spotlight. meanwhile adam/becky/oliver etc. have all spoken about how hard it is to talk about this and how painful to relive it. johnny was relishing every second he could talk about it. he’s not a victim, he’s bitter
I didn’t understand why Josh saying a minor’s (or actually a 19 year old as we now know) sexuality was not his business was wrong. He’s right. It’s not. Josh was setting a boundary between older person and teen and Johnny kept pushing it by asking more. The part I felt more sus about was the not to tell his parents. But even then, I could see it being out of a sense of fear his parents would retaliate and kick him out. Was it the best response? No. But it wasn’t a giant grooming tactic being deployed.
Agree. Thats like opposite grooming. A fan's (and as Johnny had claimed minor's, even though we now know better) sexuality is no concern of a performer. That is a proper boundary ffs.
No literally he was very clearly in love with Josh and when the feeling was not reciprocated he got hurt and accused him of grooming
Word! His definition of grooming is Josh saying John's sexuality isn't his business and ghosting him. Hard to take him seriously.
Considering what a liar Johnny is I would take the whole don't tell your parents thing with a big, fat grain of salt
Just watched Swoops video and Johnny is absolutely disgusting for lying. H3 needs to do a new podcast addressing this!
Everyone looks so done with Johnny. I feel bad for Becky, her responses were so short and quick she probably felt bad cause Johnny was talking the whole time
Oh my. It’s so obvious that Johnny made an effort to be the spotlight of this interview
Could you imagine being a literal child and being told you didn’t work hard enough to deserve a bed?! How embarrassing and mortified.
He was 21 which is still TOTALLY unacceptable but just in case someone comes at you for it
He was sleeping on 100k tour bus. That was absolutely beautiful inside.
@@tiffanyraschka3714 anything Miranda-related (in character) has come up as ammo against Colleen, which I've ignored because it's entertainment. But if that's true about the bus, and there's legit lies flying around, Idk if I really trust anything involved in this story.
a tour bus is still not the same as being denied a private room that you were promised as an employee. this is such a redundant point
@@tiffanyraschka3714 With no shower....😐 Not to mention the bus would look less and less comfy after sleeping there for 1+ months or however long they were touring with 12+hour days.
I hope Trent is genuinely being investigated.
Colleen Is innocent, Also made a vid on Toxic Adam👍
@@ville__what? Colleen is definitely not innocent and Adam is not toxic?
@@gru3341they've commented this on every video made about colleen, I'm starting to think it's her trolling.
@@brittneebarnett5943 she’s trying to convince us we should get off the toxic gossip train 🤣
@@gru3341 fr😭🤣
In all of this, no one ever focuses on Kory. He is genuinely like her evil little sidekick who’s just glued to her tail, he has absolutely no life of his own. It’s so rare he gets mentioned for being her lapdog and being just as vile to fans, I’m just WAITING for more shit to come out on him.
The recording of him talking to his kid fans is creepy
Adam initially did focus on him but then changed up his story. Ask yourself why? The story should never have changed if it were true. Go back to 2021 and Kory was in his narrative.
He sent a bathtub pic to the korysklit group where his adult male balls were floating and could be seen
@@cyntmaczhe still mentions kory but colleen is the bigger problem for him I’m sure
Yea like Kory is such a weirdo, he and Trent need to get investigated
Point Blank: Every adult in this story needs to be investigated.
Yeah and the parents of the victims too
I mean Colleens best friend Kory, having a private Insta chat with literal children called “Korys Klit” is extremely inappropriate & troubling 😖
Point blank: they are famous so nothing will happen
@@Damndanguntrue
Point blank period. These predictors need to be tried in federal court.
who else is here from swoop and now knows johnny STOLE victims stories and actually groomed himself
He didn't even groom himself, he was an adult stalking Joshua.
Laughing my ass off. Nobody believed me when I said Johnny was a fucking liar.
Do you mean Johnny...?
@@ElizabethWest90 YES SORRY LMFAO typo
@@dddottir5935 hahahah I hoped so!!😄❤️
Legit I was called a victim blamer with people smugly trying to explain what “grooming” means. I saw right through his bs.
omg i remember watching all this go down and i also knew he was full of it … but then saw people get ripped to shreds for even questioning Johnny…
It breaks my heart to hear the victims’ tone instinctively change like they’re trying to minimize their experiences to keep the peace whenever Ethan asks them a question meant for them to be able to share their side more completely.
Like when Ethan asked Johnny to explain how Colleen abused her power and Johnny’s tone immediately shifted to that “well it wasn’t THAT bad” kind of tone cause these victims are so used to defending a predator because they thought she was their friend. 😢
Yes! And the go-to defense mechanism after being attacked by Colleen stans for a month. Wired to believe a clarifying question is actually trying to be a gotcha, bc that's all they've been hearing from everyone else for a month. Ugh. I'm glad listeners are catching the self-minimization.
No. It’s because they know they’re full of 💩
They all thought she was they friend :/... how tf could she take advantage of these sweet kids?
Or maybe it wasn’t as bad as it’s currently being played out online?
I want to be 💯 clear- I am not saying this to defend Colleen - what she did was incredibly inappropriate & obviously harmful for the minors involved.
I actually think it’s really important to NOT make things out to be more than they were for exactly that reason- bcuz then it becomes really easy to minimize all but the most harmful behaviour. Both for the people doing it & the public.
internet celebrity Interacting w minors who are emotionally vulnerable & have parasocial relationships with them can be incredibly influential & damaging to the these kids emotional & psychological development - just bcuz of the relationship the kids are experiencing being way more meaningful & impactful than it is to the internet celebrities.
There doesn’t need to be more nefarious intention or behaviour than that to cause deep & long-term harm, esp at that stage in life & depending on what else the minor is going thru. And that’s the point, these are kids/ppl you know nothing about!!
Johnny & Josh’s relationship is a perfect example of that. Josh didn’t do anything “criminal” to Johnny which makes it’s super easy for ppl, and probably him, to say it’s not his responsibility, the kid has parents- in this case, parents who were involved & well aware of the relationship - he thought it would be cool for his fans to get to interact with their favourite internet celebrity, he was just trying to be nice to this kid!
I mean, we’re all forgetting that there was no manual for how internet celebrities interact with fans - part of the draw/interest was that they were “just normal ppl on the internet”.
Plus, there’s the dynamic that the way that internet celebrities keep their celebrity/fame/money is by interacting with their fans and keeping them engaged & supportive.
Humans are messy and complex and self-centred and it’s way too easy for someone to tell themselves and other ppl that if they aren’t intending to cause harm, then somehow that makes it not as bad. Which obvi isn’t the case for the person who experienced it.
When instead what people should be doing is putting intent into NOT causing harm. And we can’t do better, until we know better - and we Cant do that until we actually have to acknowledge it wasn’t okay in the first place. And when you’ve got thousands/millions of people telling you that what you’re doing is good and celebrating you it’s pretty easy to tell yourself it’s not that big of a deal.
Colleen is obvi a damaged individual - tbh, the sexualized content gives vibes that something happened in her history, and we also definitely know that she grew up in a puritanical Christian household where sex/sexuality is twisted.
I don’t think this was about sexual attraction/gratification on Colleens part. Again, doesn’t make any of it okay. Which is the point - it shouldn’t take that for ppl to understand that this isn’t okay.
Think about it - the reason Adam got so much pushback when he talked about what Colleen did the first time is bcuz “ it wasn’t that bad”, when just what he shared there was absolutely bad/harmful for him.
K, I have to get back to work. I hope this made sense.
@@deltawhiskey1998 I stopped reading when you insinuated it wasn’t as bad as it’s being played out online… When all the victims’ stories have receipts to prove it actually happened the way they said and there’s, you know, the federal crime of it all.
I’d say that’s pretty damn bad.
And no thesis you write is going to change that. Especially when most of your comment follows a statement of claiming you’re not defending her or excusing her… “BUT”… Which the word “but” negates everything you said before it. “But” means “forget what I just said, let me tell you how I really feel.”
If you’re not here to support the victims, that’s your prerogative, but I’m not going to entertain you trying to minimize their experiences by acting like any of these victims have said they thought Colleen was trying to be romantically sexual with them. Grooming is not purely sexual, as has been made very clear across all these victims’ stories.
I’m sorry you were played by that lying scumbag Johnny. I hope you call out his snake behavior.
Looking for this comment lol
Although I do agree that Johnny definitely hijacked this entire interview (allegedly he was telling people he was going to be the “leader”) all this does is show that the hosts aren’t all that great when it comes to things like this. Maybe one or two guests is fine but johnny kept talking because they allowed him to. They kept asking only him questions. They could’ve easily asked in multiple occasions “Do you guys feel the same way?” “Can you guys relate to this?” “I’d love to hear from Becky/Oliver but thanks Johnny, we’ll come back to you”. He spoke the first entire half because they facilitated the space for him to do so. The other two weren’t as vocal when it came to their turn but if it was me and they let that guy go for 30min I’d probably feel that they weren’t as invested in hearing my story and likely wouldn’t say much. It’s hard to relive trauma as is. Not everyone can be a true journalist and/or mediator (and that’s okay) but if you’re going to take on these roles you gotta educate yourselves in how to do it
Totally agree. It must have been so awkward for becky and oilver. The hosts cant totally stop johnny from hogging the spotlight but they definetly could have tried to facilitate more conversation with the other two.
I agree. The way Ethan joked about Michael Jackson being a pedo (although he was found innocent and any simple research shows the last 2 accusers are telling provably false stories that have no merit in court). Regardless, IF Ethan believed he was guilty, which he does and states it over & over, why was he singing little songs talkin about "don't put it in my bum'' bs, laughing the whole time...Which made actual csa look like a joke. He doesn't research.
Yes!!!! 💯 Hell you could have done this interview WAY BETTER and really given Becky and Oliver a platform to speak their truth.
Excatly 👏👏👏
@@YTpsychMyths2 ?????
The fact that I just skipped to a random part where Ethan says “I can’t see Becky, I dont know if that’s a thing that you do?” (talking to someone off camera) and the response is “I have it set to auto switch so once someone starts talking…” who was on the screen right before that? Johnny. Who’s on most of the time while scrubbing through this video? Johnny. He is the one talking most of this video! Swoop’s and Adam’s videos are eye opening, although I never saw this segment live or later on, I already had a bad feeling about Johnny and it’s clear just by looking through this that he received most of the attention on this segment, and now we know why.
I started watching this video and gave up about 20 minutes in because of that. Johnny wouldn't stop talking, but I wanted to listen to the others too.
Johnny sweetie, he was going through a divorce. Of course you werent going to be a number 1 priority 🙄
?????
Welcome to the Johnny show
I wished Oliver had gotten more time to speak and tell their story.
I felt they were so overwhelmed in their story that to guard themselves they overcompensated with humour and maybe some kind of neurodivergent deflection, that I wasn't even sure of their experience even though I was listening they got distracted? What happened and what was their experience with Colleen?
@@MindTheDrift it was with Colleen's brother, Trent.
This channel is a highlight channel, so this isn’t the full interview. If you want to hear more from Oliver, you can go to the interview that has Colleen’s P-word Brother in the title 👍

I don't really think this should be removed: if anything, re-named and re-tagged. We can't forget this happened.
Screw everyone angry about H3 giving these victims a voice .
Ikr?
What? People are angry about it? Wtf?
Cause calling them 'victims' is very questionable
I’m not angry :) I just miss the days when the podcast was funny but if the fans prefer serious stuff then it is what it is
@@0912soolihi Colleen
Just watch Swoops part 3… I’m floored. I hope y’all realize this Johnny guy has been playing everyone.
i remember watching this and feeling so bad for thinking johnny talked too much…
i don’t feel bad anymore.
Same lol
Screw the comments mad about h3 covering this and screw the obvious colleen stans saying this is for clout. Even if it is, she did what she did and deserves these repercussions.
Real. Silence does not help in these situations. They’re advocating for their younger self
@@roronoa_raf2201which is fine. But it doesn't mean the rest of us have to see it
@@braidena1633 Is someone holding a gun to your head to watch all these videos? 😢
@@rhiannonsubliminals my exact thoughts...
yeah, she literally did illegal things (sending the trisha p0rn to kids) and so many innapropiated shows and books... she should get jail time.
I’m genuinely confused by all these comments that are frustrated by the multitude of content that h3 has made about colleen on this podcast. This is been going on for years and is now getting media coverage for predatory behavior. Wouldn’t you want that to be exposed and talked about by your favorite creators? And if you’re not interested in it, you don’t have to even watch it. These people deserve justice, and it all coming to light is incredibly important.
edit: fixed grammar. its not that deep lmao
Can you try that first sentence again in English? I’m literally baffled by how oddly written it is. What are you genuinely confused by?
@@XCristianxX he already explained his story that he couldn't even speak up on how he was treated by Kory. He replied to a similar comment saying he is not doing this for clout, he isn't gaining any money from it, he works double shifts as a bartender, he is getting hate because of this, he want to move on with his life but was dragged into this when Kodee made a video about it all.
@@XCristianxX you need to inform yourself better, Johnny and many others made so many vids explaining their reasons.
@@XCristianxX "Why didn't they come forward sooner?"
Standard victim-blaming response. Yawn.
Because LOOK at how Adam was treated when he came forward in 2020. That's your answer. But I know that's not enough for you because you'd rather put scrutiny on the victims than the irrefutable groomer.
@cristianc1642 you're literally victim blaming, like does it matter when? Like is there a limited time line to when someone does something awful to you that you can't be upset about it? Adam didn't just start right after the Twitter thing, there was a lot of other stuff going on.
Respectfully, I think this should’ve been three separate interviews as these three experiences are wildly different so there’s not enough common ground for there to be interplay between the guests. This means you have to basically just talk to one person for a while let the other two sit around possibly feeling invalidated for not being afforded the space to tell their own story.
Good practice would be rotating prepared questions and giving space for the individuals to jump in and interact with the line of questioning from another interviewee. This way is more democratic and creates the feeling of a group of people talking rather than three disparate conversations.
I agree, it’s fantastic they all have a platform to speak out but so much time was spent talking to one person and I can’t imagine being one of the other people both listening to someone else’s experience and maybe mentally comparing and anxious about when I’ll be asked to speak. I agree that it should have been three separate interviews, especially because questions like “were you in group chats?” were a no for everyone but Johnny.
Respectfully, have you conducted an interview? I thought this went pretty good. Yes one person talked more bc he was actually on tour. He has more to say. The other two had different experiences. All three are so brave to speak out, especially on this podcast. I thought that the questions moved the stories right along and connected them well. Thank you for this interview !!!!
I appreciate having Johnny's experience as a framing device and through line for the other people's experiences, it made following the timeline easier since he had years of intimate experience. But I definitely would have liked more time with Becky and Oliver! Their stories would be a representation of the average fan experience and what damage Colleen left in her wake.
What was Oliver’s story ?
@AngelsVoiceASMR doesn't matter. These people are not being paid for their time. They should be valued and respected.
J- Becky was coerced to wear that outfit for the bit
E- Was there an expectation that you were going to wear that Becky?
B- Not…personally
Like….why didn’t they check him on that?!
rewatching this after it’s come out that johnny lied and was a predator himself, and wow are there a lot of red flags
rewatching it now … knowing what we know.. phew 😮💨
i was shocked nobody saw it the first time. its not normal and they should have made sure becky and oliver were also given time to speak. gross
@@neurotoxicitythe way they full-screened Johnny after a few minutes & barely bothered redirecting the conversation to Oliver & Becky is extremely messed up. I hope they have Becky, Oliver & Josh on & let them each have a moment to tell their story without being steamrolled by a raging narcissistic pathological liar.
Bruh why are some of the comments are borderline upset with “too much coverage”? Three years ago she got away with it and spun around more shit after that because of what? Not enough coverage. Adam for examples was bullied for years exactly because there not enough coverage on his side that she got her fans to redirect attention elsewhere that doesn’t matter.
Anybody with new information can drag her daily if it means getting more 13 years old kids away from her reach.
Because this is supposed to be a comedy show and while it is nice that they are giving the victims a platform they still need to understand that the show is for the viewers and nobody wants to watch this. It’s bad entertainment production - If they were on the air the show would’ve been cancelled a long time ago but because they run on Ethan’s riches they can do whatever they want despite viewer disatisfaction.
@@JoeSgfw Gotta agree on that point, no one wants to watch this kind of stuff. In fact I'm not even gonna watch it, I'm just perusing the comments for something resembling an original idea
That’s exactly my point. They should be angry at themselves for turning a blind eye
@@JoeSgfwthen don’t watch this episode. h3 will be back to what they normally do but if you don’t want to watch this specific episode i promise you h3 will not implode on itself
@@JoeSgfwso ethan can afford to create the content he wants and use his platform to boost the voices of victims instead of being financially dependent on people just looking to be entertained and only producing what will get clicks from them. good for him!
I swear, Colleen has sent her group chat minions to attack these videos because some of these comments are ridiculous.
Agree
Keep angering her
Maybe she’ll snap and just go poof
It freaks me out how the nicknames or code names pedos use for kids are always some sort of food like pizza, hot dog etc. and she called them cookies and weenies.. yikes
Great now I can’t eat pizza 🍕
I thought the kids in the chats made up the names? Not saying it's not weird, just trying to clarify
@@shawnalynn5198nope
Damn. It was obvious on my first watch Johnny hogged the spotlight but now it’s crazy how I didn’t realize just HOW MUCH
saaaame i am re-watching this now after swoop's video and HE DOESN't seem to stOP TALKING
Coming back to rewatch and i couldn't help laugh at Ethan calling Johnny.... Jack😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was just about to comment the same 😂😂😂😂
19:49 its so odd that he called a personal experience “a story”
Becky and Oliver give straightforward answers to Ethan's yes/no questions while Johnny spins an elaborate unrelated story each time so he can talk more. Like when he told us in great detail why he went to the NYC show from Illinois, his parents reactions to the divorce, and his older sister's ages. Just completely unnecessary information. No wonder he got caught in his lies. He won't shut up
I feel like Oliver did not get much time to talk and what Trent did with her is horrific!
Just wanted to let you know that Oliver uses they/he pronouns!
Oliver is trans
@@elenacruzlopezhe/they
@@Dave102693they/he why are you being a stickler about the order its in?
@@Dave102693there’s a difference between saying someone’s pronouns is they/he and he/they. it’s an order of preference, meaning they prefer they/them before he/him. for some people there’s no difference, but if someone says their pronouns, always assume it’s in order of preference.
Empty vessels make the most noise. Clearly johnny’s stories had no substance.
Watching this back after Swoop's video on Johnny, everything he says hits completely different.. 🤦🏻♀️
frrr
I’m sad that because Ollie is more quiet they didn’t get to tell their story properly. What they went through was so horrific and not widely talked about in videos.
well when one person talks for 45 out of 63 minutes... 😖
i watched this live and found it weird that johnny spoke a lot and spoke for oliver and becky. to the point where he was corrected by them a few times. a terrible situation and i can’t believe making up a story like he has for “clout”. hopefully oliver and becky have more opportunity to speak for themselves and spread awareness.
dude dude dude. i literally KNEW the first time i watched this that SOMETHING was weird about Johnny. He kept overtaking the conversation, talking too much, like he was compensating for something. UGH! a woman's intuition is always right!!
Man, I noticed Johnny talking in circles and never answering questions when I watched this the first time, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt, assuming he was just scatterbrained like I would almost definitely be in that scenario. It's a big bummer that he is making me feel like I should've been more skeptical when listening to the story of an alleged victim.
Scepticism can be a good thing sometimes, but don't let this poor excuse for a human skew your views when it comes to victims. John should be ashamed.
@@tangerinehircine6624 I won't let him make me too jaded, for sure. The way he manipulated this situation hits a little close to home for me, so I'm just a bit disappointed I didn't notice and extremely disappointed that he did this.
As a scatter brain myself, I can confirm this is not how we behave. We'd answer the question atleast sometime later 😅 not dodge it or go in circles
Hila giving beautiful young Cher vibes
I thought the same!
exactly what i was thinking!!
All of this takes the Ballinger presence in Jojo Siwa's life at such a young age to a different level.
Here after seeing the Swoop doc exposing Johnny …
Coming back to watch again now we have a lot more information 😮
I’m so glad this is still going. She is not getting away with this.
I think it’s almost good Adam isn’t there because he has a much bigger platform than everyone else so this lets their stories shine more
agree!
Adam isn’t purposely trying to diminish others stores. He is in fact trying to get them more recognition
keep doing what your doing. She doesn’t get to get away with her predatory behavior.
Nope, not this time
*you’re
I was a fan of her when I was a teenager. It all seemed so innocent but now that I'm older looking back I literally am so nauseous and I'm glad I wasnt able to go see her live.
it's so sad to hear him say, repeatedly that he is embarrassed this followed him into adulthood. He was literally groomed for years by people who wanted to exploit him of everything he had, and it is absolutely not his fault!
It’s sad that he lied about this whole thing too
I’m so glad my parents taught me to never glorify celebrities like this. It’s not these guys fault it’s the adults that took advantage of them because they knew kids would idolize them so much.
I look forward to seeing Ethan's reaction when he realizes she claimed the apology song in his video... 👀
he already put out a tweet
@@cassandra6315what did he say lmaoo
How do you think we found out about it?
What was the tweet ??
I’m still trying to figure out how that’s legally possible. Like unless she can prove she filed for some kind of copyright BEFORE any of the videos were made and was in, like, a waiting period… then I don’t understand having any kind of legal ground to go after people for using something BEFORE it was copyrighted… it feels hella illegal and federal crime-y.
Who else is here after Swoops part 3?!! Johnny is a phonyyy
MEEE, the way he kept talking over the other victims is so disgusting.
🙋♀️
H3, you guys did a phenomenal job with this show. Abuse of children on the internet is diverse, yet systematic and truly evil. Everytime it is called out, broken down and demonized this way is a great victory. Please keep it up. Becky, Oliver, Jack and of course Adam are very brave. They shouldn't worry about some idiotic trolls, just enjoy life💓💓💓. On a side note I could see Hila's mom brain just ticking and fuming over innocent kids being mistreated this way. All like minded adults should advocate for the welfare of innocent children.
This is the best coverage i've seen, far past the quality of drama channel coverage. I love a good youtube drama channel, but this story deserves more
@@emilyblenn Totally agree, this is a global crisis that everyone has to work towards stopping.
No children were abused.
@@michaeldonnan6767false
They did a terrible job! They let Johnny talk the whole time! Not once did they stop and think to ask questions to the other two!
People commenting on here like they’re forced to watch this video lmao if you aren’t interested in this topic, you do realize there are millions upon millions of videos on CZcams you can watch instead right? Just making sure!!
Colleen has the humor of a minor that had inappropriate relations with an adult or an older child in her family. I’m not mentioning that as a way to excuse her actions. but she really needs to look into what trauma led her to consciously or unconsciously groom kids.
I don’t think Colleen realizes she was molested and that what she’s doing is grooming. Otherwise she wouldn’t have wrote it off as gossip and untrue because it is 100% inappropriate. She has OCD and people with OCD came from an unstable childhood.
given all the people around her do this says her family clearly has issues and doesnt see grooming and using children as such. As you said, either consciously or not.
Really sad and scary to think about the next generation of their family. I hope those kids can break the cycle when they're older.
I do think more needs to be said about Josh and Kory, especially Kory. I used to watch Colleen's vlog channel, literally up until all this came out, and I just always got a vibe from Kory. He came across as the friend that would egg you on to do the wrong thing. Especially in the lingerie video. It was interesting to hear Johnny's story when his first video came out that basically confirmed Kory is just as bad, if not worse than Colleen. I'm not seeing this highlighted enough.
And Trent is basically Jerod Fogel
Thank you for being reasonable and recognizing that a creator you watch is horrible! I really hope this doesn’t sound condescending or anything because I’m sure you’re well aware of the fans still sticking with her, so I’m genuinely saying I appreciate you’re not one of them ha 👍
So agree! Even Trent is left out a TON. But somehow Kory is just an aside. Hell he was even awful to *Colleen*, which is saying a lot to how he had to be with everyone else if he was that brutal to the person who literally housed him for years and took him in when no one else wanted anything to do with him.
@allisoncastle Big agree here too. I was still watching her vlogs until recently too and it's been shocking how much can be out there and public that I still never once saw or knew about! So it's crazy to know how you can genuinely not know anything about these things, think you like someone, and then discover SO much damning content, posts, shows, behavior, etc.. If you don't have the time to consume everything someone is doing you can wholly believe someone is a great person.....and then discover they've even been shamelessly public with their garbage, let alone what they were doing behind the scenes.
It's been heartbreaking to see so many people who sincerely believed she was so kind, so loving, so accepting, so helpful be the literal devil. It seems like it should've been obvious from the outside, but it really wasn't if you didn't catch every upload or didn't care about Miranda and were just there for Colleen.
@@Dave102693 Ugh, this was the first I'd even heard of that. Poor Ollie, and I'm sure they aren't the only one either.
Oliver and Becky need to go talk to Swoop because we didn't really get much of their story on this interview. Johnny dominated this interview about pretty much nothing.
we need an update ASAP 😅
I hope you give Adam a chance to speak when he’s not literally living his dream. I think it would be EPIC to take him on a VIP Disneyland trip
I love that he’s been living his best life on his LA trip 🙌
Seriously! I hope he was able to take his mind off of all of the hate… it is so beyond fucked up to the point of basically evil. Attacking a trauma victim for literally living their life, having the nerve to do something they enjoy. They literally called him a cloud chaser for NOT going on the podcast (because apparently he is so obsessed with clout that he only would go on if he was invited on alone).
Sorry I’m ranting now and turning your positive comment negative ha. I’m just so upset about these people having the nerve to talk like this but still claim to stand with victims.
@@allisoncastleoh be quiet. You know youll be hating adam again soon😢😢😢
They did give him a chance, they invited him, he just couldn't make the call cuz traveling. H3/team likes adam
@@katatonic726 i think they know that, they were just asking if the team could try talk to adam some other time
Johnny says, "I thought it was like a mentor kind of thing, but that's not what it was," Then later he says, "I never knew he was trying to mentor me! I just thought I had a friend!"
Here after seeing the Swoop doc as I didn’t really know anything about Johnny before. Even without that context I think I would have found this very odd. ‘In all my years of supporting her she only paid for one or two of my tickets’ why would she pay for your tickets?!? Who pays for their fans tickets??? The way he tells stories about completely harmless scenarios and tries to make it sinister is shocking.
Edit: as I’m further in. Johnny is so bitter. I believe he wasn’t treated well by these guys, but he was an adult who just didn’t get what he wanted and this is his retaliation.
right? and when he name dropped grace helbig and mamrie hart and said they just agreed with tyler oakley as a "cop out" to comment on this, i was disgusted. They have nothing to do with this, they didn't hurt anyone, they don't owe him anything, and specially grace has a lot more important stuff going on in her life right now. he just comes off as bitter because his relationship with colleen, and eventually with josh, weren't reciprocated. if colleen, josh, kory, etc. were being bad friends or bosses, he could've quit, but he stayed there because he didn't have a problem with anything until they pushed him away and weren't helping him on his journey to fame.
the victims on the other hand didn't even get to say anything because he hogged the mic and h3 didn't seem to plan this all that well, since they barely asked the victims for their perspective and focused on poor johnny who got ghosted. smh
I wish Becky and Oliver had a little more time to talk ❤️ but thank you h3 for giving them a platform! Such an important topic to cover!!!
But I also want to say I appreciate Johnny sharing and standing up.
I agree. I think Oliver's story is one of the most concerning I've heard.
Yeah I still have no idea what happed to Oliver exactly
oof
Adults speaking to your child and then literally becoming friends with with the parents is the biggest red flag of grooming and p3dophilism…
This reminds me of MJ
This is what groomers do. They are very charming to the families of their victims. Beyond that Colleen and her husband were famous and it seems like they framed it as though they were trying to help him start his own career.
@@spideronawhiteflagHer becoming friends with the parents was part of how she hid it. Remember its perfectly normal to mentor the kids of your friends when you’re in a career they are interested in.
I love seeing Hila! She is so kind and is just a great human. I’m so glad H3 covered this. I wonder how Colleen would feel if her kids were in a similar group chat with adults? Well, she is Colleen, she would probably encourage it!
You’re totally right, if she ever admitted she would have a problem if it were her kids in this situation, then she would be admitting she did something wrong, which will likely never happen. I feel bad for her children.
I don't think she cares, she doesn't see children as children
She just uses them, just like she was laughing about being the reason a puppy got killed
If she did care about her children, she would have admitted to everything, she would have distanced herself from them since she is a predator and predators should stay away from children and animals and she would never try to use such a serious situation for her own benefit
Part of this is that when CZcams changed the commenting policy on family channels, to protect kids like her nephew who were getting sexualised and bullied in the comments. She complained that CZcams was ruining the experience for everyone.
Never caring about the concerns for child welfare.
Are you serious? She just sits there saying nothing most of the time. Boring!!!
Adam asked Colleen that same sort of question (more so about “being taken advantage by an adult” but still) and Colleen said to leave her kid out of it and don’t threaten him. That’s when Adam’s mom intervened
Please make a new interview with Oliver and Becky.
Hila saying "Why would anybody do this for clout" hits different now that we know about the Johnny situation. 😅
Ain't it just. I wanna lay eyes on this intense 6 hour interview. I wanna see what he says. Leak the whole thing like damn.
Thank you for doing this. I hope this woman gets put in her place because she is truly sociopathic.
Add Jojo Siwa to the list of people who need to make a public statement
Oh my God.... Johnny must love the sound of his own voice.
thanks h3 for covering the topic. jus wanna say the way hila was smilin at olivia at the end when they were thanking her for her diligience warmed my heart sm
Her group chat was called the weenies and nobody ever questioned this lol
I noticed that too
I feel bad for Oliver i feel like they never got to be asked to share their actual story and Trent piece is so important to the story. I kept waiting only for the podcast to end...
Interviewing 2* of Colleen ballingers victims
Thank you for your platform! These young people seem to have become well adjusted and coming into their own. Good on them!
There’s a Change petition to get Colleen off CZcams. Don’t know how effective it will be but if you can, please sign it
How trashy and pathetic. If anyone needs to be in trouble or locked up is Adam. Leave Collen alone
@@SarahJeanColeAdam isn’t even in this video, do you not think all the victims are trashy then?
@@asheroberts4763 for the most part they are all having there moment
@@SarahJeanCole I refuse to pretend to get upset when million or billionaire celebrates face consequences deserved or not. You would have to pay me to get upset and colleen can afford it
@@SarahJeanColeLOL bro how old are you
I am 30 minutes in, and I feel bad for the other Oliver and Becky. They are literally just sitting there and listening to Johnny speak without being able to talk.
The left top person is now a guy , Oliver :)
@@quacksonklaxon3910 I am really sorry, I didn't know, corrected!
Y'all really need to update this. Johnny's a monster
I don’t feel like Oliver got a chance to tell their story, maybe I missed it?
they talked about my story on their first colleen podcast where they had a powerpoint about the whole situation!
Thank you for giving these individuals a platform to share their experiences with Colleen Ballinger. Sure is something, her trying to shut them down rather than responding.
Im so sorry you all had to experience this. Please know that coming out and telling your stories (with such wisdom) is going to help a lot people. As an abuse victim in my childhood, hearing this even helps me to better understand what happened to me was not okay. What happened to you all was not okay, and it shouldn’t have happened. I’m sending you so much love!
Thanks H3 for providing a platform to discuss these issues. It goes beyond CB, and brings attention to unfortunate, and all too common abuse that so many children face.
We can only digest it as we get older. Thank you ❤
the way she licensed the song so she could claim the main channel video is sooo diabolical
May these young adults heal and find peace..Thank you H3 for this very important video. The podcast was amazing. What an amazing crew. I absolutely cannot believe Colleen put her song on Spotify! Im like... tf
the way she licensed the song so she could claim the main channel video is sooo diabolical
I didn’t know there were people this deep into adoring the people they watch online. This is scary.
people been deep into adoring people they watch since always tho. I guess we were used to of just celebrities.
It's usually children since they are obviously very naive and vulnerable so yeah there's a lot of children that would idolise someone to this extent
Young people being obsessed with a celebrity isn't a new concept. The difference here is that the celebrity in question trampled every reasonable boundary in order to abuse their fans.
I don't think it's a particularly new concept. Since there have been celebrities there have been people crazy about them. And when people are going through rough times and don't have a lot of people they can trust in their regular life it can make you take a common interest and take it to alll kinds of new levels.
The part where Johnny talks about Joey and Daniel is so crazy. I became a fan of Joey's after he released his mv in like 2014 and thats also when Daniel was introduced. For the longest time I was a huge fan of Joey and a small fan of Daniel by association. When all of this Colleen stuff was being brought back up again I repeatedly checked Joey's following and Rosanna Pansino's following because with Joey and Rosanna they're really good friends and Rosanna from what I remember wasn't too close of a friend with Colleen, but because of Joey they were seen in each other's videos often and hung out. But, anyway, I had checked their following and they still follow her which is really disappointing as someone who was a huge Joey fan. I'm not sure now though if they still follow her, but I sorta lost interest in Joey's stuff but I still follow him (I will unfollow him now though). I'm hoping he, Daniel, Rosanna, and the other youtubers at that time make a statement because I mean Colleen is clearly a terrible person, but also this whole situation is getting even worse and way more illegal honestly.
I agree that Oliver didn't get enough of your time and attention. I almost wonder why you decided to have all three instead of 1 or 2 at a time, because you severely neglected Oliver here. I was expecting more and then you started saying, "well I appreciate you guys calling in!" and I was like wait - what?!
I agree - I don't know the situation and after this interview I have no idea what Oliver has experienced
Me too! Hashtag! But seriously I was listening and have no idea of their experience, I felt they may have been too overwhelmed and focused on being goofy and deflecting from pain with humour, dose anybody know their story?
@MindTheDrift Colleen's brother Trent was incredibly inappropriate and creepy in DMs with Oliver when he was as young as 13. Trent preyed on him, admitted he was told by family not to talk to minors, and was actively waiting for him to grow up and turn 18.
@@oliolaaleksandra Oliver was actively hit on sexually by her brother.
@@MindTheDrift her brother was literaly preying and grooming him, talking about sexual topics, asking him to not tell anyone they were talking, asking for videos, asking weird sexual questions, giving him a pet name, begging him to stay on twitter and talk to him. All while he was a minor.
The fact that the chats were called cookies and weenies and they're both nick names for private parts 😬
Fully expecting a podcast after Swoops video … 🙌
I don’t know why this interview in particular hit me like a ton of bricks. Maybe that stupid song/ear worm temporarily distracted my nervous system from how absolutely disturbing this all is. Maybe my outrage has shifted to disgust and sadness. Not having clips and examples from Colleen on stage is helping maintain the setting that is key for this narrative. I am so sorry to the victims. Every child deserves better than this sickness.
I always knew something was werid about her it’s sickening!
@@peachhazel7865agreed….
A little backstory about me (it pertains to my comment about Colleen)… we went through literal hell… actual hell to have our babies…
Our first son was born 100% healthy…
A year and a half later, we had a full term baby girl born sleeping…
A year and a half after that, we had another baby girl born with something called group B Streptococcus (which we found out later, is likely why our first girl was born sleeping, as I’m a carrier )… our 2nd baby girl was in the NICU critically ill for 3 weeks…
4 years after that we had a baby boy, again group B positive and in the NICU for 2 weeks fighting for his life..
Our last baby was 100% healthy as I had very high powered antibiotics before, during and after labor…. As did our baby boy… we were watched very closely, I had a wonderful OBGYN ❤️💕🙏🏼
My point in telling you all this is I’ll never forget Colleen’s water breaking with her twins, at 32-1/2 weeks, which is a life or death medical emergency… made
Worse by her twins both being breech…
So what does Colleen do???? Vlog it and straighten her hair of
Course, laughing the whole time … risking the lives of her babies…
So of course the Dr called her and was like “this is a medical emergency, where are you, why are you not here yet??”….😲😳😐… so of course she continues vlogging on the way to the hospital …
So she gets to the hospital…. And she ends up having an emergency C section immediately, because one of her babies umbilical cords had washed down when her water broke…again, cord prolapse is a very, very serious medical emergency as the pressure on the cord, cuts off blood flow to
The baby…
She’s very, very lucky that both babies lived…
As someone whom went through not only losing a baby…. But seeing 2 of my other babies struggle on life support…. It made me so angry…
That’s when I knew …. Colleen Ballinger is a selfish, selfish, gross person…
Obviously she couldn’t help that her waters broke pre term, obviously…. It’s how she handled it after the fact, that made her selfish..
I think that’s her true character…my older daughter and I quit watching her after that (my daughter is an adult btw, we used to think Miranda was funny, so we’d watch together when she came to visit)…
I hope Colleen is deplatformed!! I think she knows it’s over. That’s why she put a patent on her song, it’s her last paycheck 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️💯
@@trina7274OMG, having 3 kids myself, how can you not have getting you and your endangered children to the hospital as a top priority? She was in danger too and she didn't seem to care about that either.
The toxic gossip trainnnn
Lmao sorry I wanted to torture you all
@@trina7274this is wild. A stranger- a child even!!! - on the street would understand the urgency and move out of an expecting parent’s way! Meanwhile she vlogging. She’s drunk on herself.
Colleen is taking the Streisand effect to the max level
I feel so bad for Oliver and his family. They so clearly love him and want to see him feel accepted by the people around him; to see him feel happiness. Then two creeps come into his life and work to manipulate him by finally giving him the acceptance he so desperately longed for and, frankly, deserved. They knew that their fame and age gave them incredible power over a vulnerable and underage person like Oliver at that time. It is like Colleen, and whoever else was apart of this, thought “hmm this kid has been severely bullied, that is good for us because now we know it works on him and we can do it to him too”.
You can tell that the intense first experience of feeling truly included meant a lot to Oliver and would probably have made him the happiest he had even been. I can imagine it meant the world to his parents too because their son, who they love so deeply, struggled for probably his whole life but now got to experience true happiness. They probably were nothing but thankful to these creeps. Which is scary because I feel like the mixture of Oliver’s struggles, his parents’ absolutely pure and encompassing love for him, and two evil but powerful people could have lead to an even scarier situation. I hope his family never feel any guilt for allowing this friendship happen, they were only ever doing what they thought was best for their son and that’s what loving parents do. I know they will still find some way to blame themselves but that is just what comes with parenting. Seriously though, they having nothing to feel bad for and are some amazing human beings and parents. He is truly blessed to have such a beautiful family.
Shout out to Oliver! I am sorry you went through this shit, you never deserved to have this happen to you. I hope you’re ok, getting help if you feel you need to, and are thriving everyday!❤
i think you may be thinking of johnny!!! hahaha
Thank you for the analysis! I swear to god I watch and listened intently and thought they completely skipped over them, because they were just being goofy and silly and likely deflecting from pain with humour, damn, my parents beat me for not being a loyal member of my church and leaving, then again when I came out, now were cool, they're religious and they do love me, but In glad my parents threw my laptop and devices out the second story window so I stayed away from social media celebrities and CZcams influencers, violence has been a big part of life and will stop with me, but I will spank my young and insist they call me sir when my husband gives birth later this year and they are of age
Wait... is Oliver non binary? Or do they use they/them pronouns? Very important with me!
@@MindTheDrift i use they/he pronouns but i think the original person commenting meant to say johnny and not my name!
