Popular internet personality and actress, Colleen Ballinger, commonly known as Miranda Sings, has lost sponsors after backlash from allegedly grooming minors and interacting inappropriately with fans during her shows.

Famous for creating comedic content using her alter ego on YouTube, Ballinger is currently under scrutiny after multiple fans have opened up about their experiences with the star. Due to the bad spotlight, at least two major companies who paid for advertisement slots on Ballingers podcast, RELAX! have pulled their sponsorship.

OneSkin, a skincare company told TMZ that they have severed ties with the YouTuber, saying that they immediately ceased their relationship with her as soon as they were made aware of her behaviour and called it appalling. Another sponsor, a telemedicine company called Zocdoc, have also confirmed that they would no longer run ads on the comedians podcast episodes.

Among other rumours that were brought up, one particular footage that resurfaced on the internet showed Ballinger performing an immature fart skit with a young fan.

In the video, Ballinger is seen spreading a young fans legs as she lies on her back on stage. The woman in the video has spoken out that she was only a teenager at the time and the incident traumatised her.

Ballinger has also taken heat before for asking a young fan to pretend to give birth, and other crude and problematic comments at her shows toward minors.

However, this is not the first time that Ballinger has been caught in the thick of it as she had received flak in the past for performing racial stereotypes, which she had addressed and apologized for.

As of now, Ballinger has yet to make comments on her recent controversy.

For what it's worth she had a teenage girl on stage at one of her live shows and grabbed her ankles as she spread her legs. Kind of fucked up.

Also she incorporated a Jim Norton Uncle Paul-esque character into her live shows.

Also she was in a group chat with underage fans and was making some really fucked up comments.

When the allegations are credible, as they seem to be, she deserves to lose sponsorships.

I was expecting to read that she lost them because she held up a pride flag or something and MAGAts complained.
