Colleen Ballinger #2

[Puppet]

It is awful that she chose to include that footage of her straightening her hair. She might be saying now that at the time she didn't know and she thought it was like her first birth where she could take her time, but when she edited the video and uploaded it she did know what was happening to her babies so why why why did she still upload that footage.

I agree. I'm sure we've all made decisions in our lives that when looking back we would have done differently. However, when she uploaded the vlog she knew the situation with the twins, and that deciding to delay and do her hair could have made things worse. So why include it? Ah yes becasue that's exactly what happened with Flynn, and she wanted to copy that video. She had so many comments in his video where people thought it was funny that she was so calm, and it was such a Colleen thing to do her hair and make up. She wanted those comments again. So she made sure she included the footage. It didn't matter to her that this was a completely different pregnancy, that these babies were super early, or that delaying could have meant her babies suffered or even died.

I noticed that as well, when she said "I have extremely difficult pregnancies" and then proceeded to list totally normal pregnancy stuff that almost everyone goes through (excluding the cholestasis obviously)

Exactly. Cholestasis in pregnancy is not particularly rare either. Again her medical understanding is lacking.. you’d think if she wants to share something in her vlogs , she can prepare but nah..

Reading the above comments, indeed all her concerns were about what’s happening to her. What’s happening to her babies.. not so much. It’s just so weird.

The same way with her divorce. Josh was utterly devastated and she was acting like nothing happened. I get the affair part but it’s still so so strange.

People have probably already commented on this a million times but I haven't watched colleen in ages and this was crazy! I thought it can't be real as waters breaking at 32 weeks with twins is an emergency and every minute would count. Once the waters/membranes go then infection can start and she is just like la la la what larks aren't I so cute doing my hair, what an adorable ditz I am. While her unborn babies literally start fighting for their lives.
It was disgusting.

She included the stupid hair clip for views (obviously from us here the controversy of it sold the otherwise awful video)… What she doesn’t care about is how many of us viewers suffer/ed from infertility, infant loss, have children with disabilities after birth trauma etc. It is extremely insensitive for that reason.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that at 32 weeks birth outcome is not necessarily living baby. Not that purple baby is not a good sign of viability. Yet she keeps including tHess comments which are super triggering for someone who lived It.

Remember the IVF “joke”.. “You broken?” Colleen laughed. I was doing a stimulation at that very moment and just felt like a sharp knife not “joke”. Can’t even imagine what a mother watching somewhere who lost an infant would think when Colleen made the “straighten hair pic or divorce me” “joke”.

But then why are we surprised, this woman dressed as Miranda thought it’s hilarious to joke about incest with 9 year olds….

So I’m having a baby in the next few weeks and I’m watching her birth video and OH MY GOD SHE IS SO DRAMATIC. You’d think she’s the only person to give birth ever. ‘I thought I was dying you guys’

 

[Smashleigh1992]

I don't know how it could take her 6 days to realise she hasn't kissed her daughter yet like whaaat she had skin to skin with her during that week I would have instantly kissed her then. Maybe just me idk

She is using very dramatic language because it's all about content. I hope women just ignore her comments about feeling like she was dying. This along with the it's OK to straighten your hair are such dangerous examples to be setting. I understand she went through something very scary but she's going to start scaring other people and at no point has she used her platform to share charities or helplines or information websites to help other mothers with anxieties or traumas who can't afford to pay for therapists or have live in help

I know this is very minor in the grand scheme of things but has she REALLY said she that she can't wear her hair up because it hurts?? This woman, I can't...

Someone on reddit found Rachel's old Live journal and its shocking colleen comments on them calling her mom the r word,

(Pics out of order sorry)

So Colleen made cake to celebrate the twins turning one week old and they all sing Happy Birthday to ‘Flynn and the babies’

Even a moment that was meant to be about the babies, it had to also be about Flynn. This child is so spoiled. He’s constantly showered in gifts and praise and attention - even on Erik’s birthday, Kory’s birthday, a celebration for the twins. This does not bode well

No one I know would be celebrating their babies' lives if they were in the NICU, because it's the bleeping NICU. Does she seriously not realize that this is NOT like Flynn's birth at all?

 

[FloraFaunaLuna]

Flynn is gonna become such a brat.

 

[Memmy]

Most people can't afford to spontaneously buy their child substantial presents and so close to his birthday and Christmas by the way. She's trying to suggest that this experience is difficult on him therefore the best thing to do is buy him toys. He is very lucky in my opinion, as are they. He has family with him all the time and his parents get to go and visit their children daily in the NICU and do it together. A lot of people would have to go one at a time or send their other children to a form of childcare out of the home.

Flynn probably doesn't have a clear awareness of what pregnancy is and what babies are, let alone that he now has two siblings. For most children as young as him, if he can't see them, they don't exist. It's like they're pre-empting him feeling left out, by making them even more the centre of everything and therefore are drawing attention to the very thing he will lose out on soon.

Hang on…. Is Rachel saying in these that Tim isn’t her dad and that her mum had an affair? Wtf?

Allegedly her mom had affair round the time rachel was conceived so Tim might not be her dad what I took from it

bleeping hell! I feel so sorry for Rachel this has all come out- she likely wasn’t expecting it to come out like this when she wrote those posts as a teenager. The language both Colleen and Rachel used during those posts are unforgivable but Rachel was definitely going through it at the time. I wonder if they have had a dna test to confirm if Tim is Rachel’s dad. All of this shows Gwen in a new light, I wonder if it has to do with Gwen threatening divorce every 5 minutes when they were kids?

She filed like 4 times didn't she?

It's so crazy, I wonder what happened during that time for their parents to do a complete 180 regarding marriage, strict religious rules with their family

Considering how close they appear to be now, I wonder if they had family therapy.

The woman who wouldn't allow halloween on religious grounds had an affair?

I'm not sure about the legitimacy of those posts sorry, don't get me wrong the accounts are real, however the account posts aren't those and when you zoom on the wording on those posts it looks blurred and edited. And on the reddit and discord pages it has been disproved several times stating it's trolls
