Oh gosh, there's so much to say. I want to share some ss soon of just how much she is milking this pregnancy! It's insane, she's made thousands already and she's only 3 months gone!
So a while back I noticed Haters Back Off had been cancelled, and she was click baiting like crazy to get views, which were at an all time low. Things like she's quitting youtube, she's pregnant, etc and none of it true. She even did a 'having a baby with my gay best friend' when she knew was pregnant with someone else.. I mean what is the point of these clickbait titles.
Just two years ago Colleen was married to a guy and they had the most cringe youtube wedding. It was truly awful. Her vows were a joke. She treated him really badly in her vlogs and left him just before haters back off was beginning to be filmed. They have been together years, and I always thought her timing of leaving just before the show was to keep all the $$ for herself. Fair enough.
After netflix cancelled her show & she had slipped out of people's radar, her views were low, she was constantly plugging her tour and it was clear she couldn't fill seats. I predicted Colleen will have to do something major to save this. She either needs something new and interesting and creative to move on to,
or she will do something really desperate for attention.
Shortly after, I see her Trending. She is pregnant irl! And she is not just dating her co-star in Haters (the guy who plays Miranda's love interest, Patrick, and who all the young fans ship) but they are secretly engaged !! She even said she wanted to Kylie Jenner her fans. By saying nothing then a big reveal. lol.
I was Boom!
something really desperate, it is
Now it's endless pregnancy vlogs, for which she's making a fortune. She also promoted her book and tour throughout her pregnancy vlogs, inc the gender reveal. Now she's back uploading ALL of the time, on all 3 channels, and raking in the bucks and popularity! The fans went crazy that's she's with 'Patrick', they are lapping it up. It's almost as though, now the series has ended, they're continuing with the story line. She's even got the character of Miranda saying she's pregnant too.
I feel terribly cynical, but the whole thing just reeks of salvaging her career while REALLY rubbing her ex husbands nose in it. She's behaving so fake in her vids with new bf, that was the second alarm bell for me, she absolutely GUSHES about him like she's 15, saying how she's never loved anyone this much etc etc and he looks at her like
so confused. At the very least, it's very disrespectful to her (recent) ex-husband, who has gone on youtube to say how devasted he was when she left. Nothing's adding up abour her behaviour, she was truly awful to her ex husband, yet this guy can do no wrong. He is also the simplest creature, bless him, but really. Colleen comes across as smart, with a steely core and a drive to succeed. She will eat this dude alive!
So while people are over excited about them together, and getting their happily ever after, I have seen her in action and I honestly think he's a lamb to the slaughter. I hope I'm wrong! For the moment my main gripe is her using this baby to promote all her channels like crazy, and for endlessly complaining how difficult it is, while telling people to buy tickets for her show which apparently wasn't selling well before but now is. A show she makes out is a massive undertaking, when it's just under 1 hour long, and is the same show she has done for years on a loop.
Yet out of the pregnancy news she got two big tv interviews, so there's that ig. It has been a huge improvement to her career, this rel'ship & baby!
Urgh there's sooo much more though, really. so much more!
