Colleen Ballinger has been facing allegations of grooming from several former fans and now her ex-husband Joshua David Evans is weighing in with his opinion.

For weeks, text messages and DMs from Colleen‘s past have been resurfacing, with various people alleging she maintained inappropriate and exploitative relationships with fans, including minors.

Colleen, who is the face behind the Miranda Sings character, took to her YouTube account this week to deny allegations in a 10-minute ukulele song.

Now, Joshua is speaking out. They were married for just one year from 2015 to 2016, though they first started dating in 2009.

“Anyone feeling hurt & gaslit right now, my message to you is this: Your experiences were real. The proof is there. Your trauma should be taken seriously. The proof is there. Your anger is justified. The proof is there. You deserve better. Take your power back. Sending you love,” Joshua tweeted.

He continued, “This behavior was my reality anytime I spoke up & disagreed with her actions & rhetoric during 2009-2016. I was gaslit too. I was made to feel like I was always the problem. Any pain I felt was an inconvenience and was belittled. Every ounce of what you’re feeling, I understand.”

Joshua concluded, “I have no desire to use this as a catalyst for a YouTube comeback. It’s not a safe place for me. I’m past that. My voice is only here to help validate those that are hurting, nothing more. I have no need to make any money off of this. That is gross & not in my heart, whatsoever.”
