Trisha Paytas is speaking out about THAT Colleen Ballinger controversy…
The (former?) close friends and podcast partners are at odds right now after all the accusations and allegations that have come out against Ballinger recently. And among those issues are new claims that the longtime Miranda Sings star on Youtube allegedly shared Paytas’ OnlyFans content with underage fans while shaming Trisha throughout.

On Monday, Paytas took to her YouTube channel to discuss the shocking and increasingly uncomfortable Ballinger situation. The duo had just recently launched their joint podcast Oversharing with Colleen Ballinger & Trisha Paytas. But judging by the Monday afternoon vid from Paytas, uhhh, that would appear to be going nowhere at this point.
In a video simply titled “colleen,” Paytas said she was first “unaware” of the allegations against Ballinger, and only recently learned of them to the point of being “shocked” by both the claims themselves and Ballinger’s already-infamous 10-minute ukulele song apology late last week.
Referencing the video and new allegations that Ballinger shared and shamed Paytas’ adult-themed content with underage fans, Trisha said:
“Her video came out, and I was just shocked to say the least that she didn’t at least acknowledge the stuff that her own fans were saying, how they felt. It’s a topic I don’t take lightly, and I can’t take lightly, as I am a full-time sex worker… We already have a lot of stigma, misconceptions, allegations against us as sex workers and so I need to nip this in the bud.”
That likely references newly-revealed Twitter posts like that from a ex-fan of Ballinger’s named Johnny Silvestri, who accused Colleen of sharing Paytas’ nude photos and mocking her OnlyFans content with fans behind Trisha’s back. You can see that NSFW tweet with screenshot accusations HERE.
Another Twitter user and YouTuber named Adam McIntyre also accused Ballinger of sending Paytas’ nude content when he was underage, as well. That second tweet allegation from late on Sunday night can also be seen HERE.

In both cases and more, Paytas slammed the situation, calling the illicit recordings and shame-sessions “viewing parties” with fans and reflecting on how violated and discarded she felt over the matter.
She said:
“I do not condone, at all, unsolicited nudes — sending unsolicited nudes to anybody, sex worker or not. I think using someone’s nudes as a way to hurt them, make fun of them, make light of them, be mean, is the lowest form of human.”
And Trisha added:
“These weren’t a long time ago. This is someone well into their 30s who just gave birth, sending nudes. And a month prior, I was in her house, meeting her newborn and doing a Mukbang with her.”
Paytas also slammed Ballinger’s ukulele apology video, saying:
“I don’t stand behind Colleen whatsoever. Her video was not an apology, and it took away from the severity of her actions of talking to minors, bringing minors on stage at her show. These people are speaking up and they’re uncomfortable for a reason. Acknowledge it, change it, do better.”
Trisha went on:
“It’s a lot. And it wasn’t just one occasion. There was multiple times that she sent different photos and different positions of me.”
And then she concluded:
“I will never speak on Colleen again. She just does not exist to me anymore.”
Wow.

Damn…
Other critics have called out Colleen over the Paytas problem, too, including some who have openly wondered whether Ballinger’s “women are incredible” shtick was merely a move to sell merch:
