PewDiePie finally chimes in on Colleen Ballinger\u2019s \u201ccringe\u201d ukulele apology YouTube: Colleen Vlogs, PewDiePieYouTube star PewDiePie has finally given his verdict on Colleen Ballinger\u2019s viral ukulele apology, slamming the video as \u201cweird,\u201d \u201ccringe,\u201d and even calling the creator a \u201cnarcissist.\u201d In summer 2023, longtime YouTuber Colleen Ballinger (AKA Miranda Sings) came under fire after she was met with a plethora of allegations accusing her of inappropriate behavior toward her young fans over the years. In response to the ordeal, Ballinger uploaded a ten-minute long video to YouTube, in which she acknowledged that her legal team had advised her not to say anything about the situation publicly \u2014 but \u201crealized that they never said that I couldn\u2019t sing.\u201d She went on to belt out a now-viral ditty about the \u201ctoxic gossip train\u201d of \u201cmisinformation\u201d spreading about her, claiming she had taken \u201caccountability\u201d for her behavior and explaining that she wasn\u2019t trying to be \u201ccreepy,\u201d but describing herself as a \u201cweird aunt\u201d who \u201cwas just trying to be besties with everybody.\u201d PewDiePie slams Colleen Ballinger\u2019s \u201cpainful\u201d ukulele apology Months later, Swedish YouTube star PewDiePie (formerly YouTube\u2019s most-subscribed creator) officially offered his response to Ballinger\u2019s infamous response video\u2026 and he had a lot to say about it. \u201cI can\u2019t watch this video,\u201d he admitted. \u201cIt\u2019s too cringy. I can never make it past the one-minute mark. \u2026this is painful. I can\u2019t do it.\u201d He went on to speculate that Ballinger is holding comments underneath her video for review to possibly combat negative replies after one of his comments asking for a \u201cSpotify link\u201d to the song wasn\u2019t showing up. \u201cIt\u2019s the kind of thing where at some point she should have realized, this is f*cking weird,\u201d he continued. \u201cJust like at some point she should have realized, you know what, maybe I shouldn\u2019t whip out a ukulele and sing \u2014 but I guess some people just don\u2019t have that.\u201d (Topic begins at 1:10) The YouTuber went on to call out Ballinger for \u201cnarcissism,\u201d calling her behavior toward her fans \u201ccreepy\u201d despite her supposed intentions. Overall, PewDiePie sarcastically scored Ballinger\u2019s video as a 10\/10 \u201cpeak\u201d apology video, seemingly baffled at her bizarre response to the situation. PewDiePie himself is no stranger to making apologies in reaction to controversies, but he\u2019s managed to avoid criticism over the years after moving to Japan with his wife, Marzia, recently welcoming his first child into the world in July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
