YouTuber Colleen Ballinger's Miranda Sings tour 'canceled' after string of allegations against star

THE remainder of Colleen Ballinger's tour appears to have been canceled.

Ballinger, 36, gained popularity on YouTube with her beloved character Miranda Sings, but has faced scrutiny in recent weeks over grooming allegations and alleged racist behavior.

Ballinger's videos, in which she performed in character as Miranda Sings, earned her more than 20million subscribers across three different channels.

But now the remainder of her 2023 tour appears to have been canceled, according to HuffPost.

Ballinger was scheduled to appear in Idaho later this week, with tour dates planned through September.

But the Ticketmaster link to the Idaho show and her other performances have revealed the tour's cancelation.

"Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event," the Ticketmaster page reads.

Other ticketing websites are displaying similar messages.

One venue noted that the cancelation was due to "unforeseen circumstances."

Those who bought their tickets from Ticketmaster will have refunds processed automatically, according to the site.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Ballinger's reps for comment.

MORE ALLEGATIONS

News of the canceled tour comes after allegations against Ballinger began piling up.

April Korto Quioh, who worked in three different positions on Ballinger's Netflix show, Haters Back Off!, wrote a newsletter alleging racist behavior on Ballinger's part, including use of the N-word.

“I recall overhearing her once brag that a creator was being ‘canceled’ for saying the n-word (and if you think she went with ‘N-word’ instead of hitting that hard ‘r,’ then you haven’t been paying attention) and that she would never be stupid enough to get caught doing something like that," she said.

Quioh also claimed that Ballinger labeled "POC background actors" as "distracting," and requested an Asian market be changed to a bodega and that the "Asian s**t" be removed from the set.

Quioh alleged that Balinger "had a knack for making ‘funny,’ biting comments about the people around her, and since we all had her to thank for our jobs, we were forced to just go with it," according to the newsletter, per BuzzFeed.

"She saw no issue with commenting on my hair, or my clothes, or asking about my personal life.

"Her lack of boundaries was remarkable.”

'TOXIC GOSSIP TRAIN'

Quioh came forward after allegations were made against Ballinger by fellow content creator Adam McIntyre.

McIntyre claimed in 2020 that Ballinger "groomed" and used him for content when he was a minor.

McIntyre said that he first discovered Ballinger as Miranda Sings in 2012 and instantly became a fan of hers.

He claimed that in 2016, he and Ballinger started talking on a "more personal level" and became "good friends."

At this time, McIntyre would have been 13 and Ballinger was already in her 30s.

Following McIntyre's claims, several others have come forward with allegations against Ballinger.

Ballinger then broke her silence on the claims with a bizarre video.

"Even though my team has strongly advised me to not say what I wanna say, I recently realized that they never said I couldn’t sing what I wanna say," she said while strumming her ukelele.

In the 10-minute video, Ballinger is seen singing about a "manipulation station" and "mob mentality" that favors rumors or facts.

"All aboard the toxic gossip train," she sings toward the beginning of the video.

"Chugging down the tracks of misinformation."

Ballinger stops singing several times to deliver an almost spoken-word response as she acknowledged her "weird" relationship with her fans early in her career.

She separately denied the grooming accusations against her.

In the video, Ballinger doesn't address McIntyre by name but makes references to his video and the allegations he made against her.

"Someone had made a video saying some shocking and hurtful things about me and a lot of you wanted me to address it," she said.

Ballinger shared screenshots of messages between her and McIntyre - which McIntyre also shared in his video.

"But it has gotten to a point where there are so many rumors and lies and speculations around that I feel like I need to address it."
