Ballinger also recently started a podcast with controversial YouTuber Trisha Paytas, titled Oversharing.
Paytas revealed today that the podcast was over after just three episodes, after she learned that Ballinger sent a fan photos from her OnlyFans account, while joking about her body.
Trisha shared about the decision to cancel the podcast with Ballinger after an allegation from a former fan of Colleen’s, Johhny Silvestri, who shared screenshots of the alleged texts that Ballinger sent him featuring Paytas.
Paytas said she reached out to Ballinger about the allegations, but that Ballinger denied them.
‘This is all very embarrassing. It’s very embarrassing at the end of the day, I don’t get embarrassed by many things, like obviously. The podcast ending after three episodes is embarrassing,’ Paytas, who’s had a string of failed podcasts, stated in her most recent Youtube video.
The podcast originally premiered May 23, and released its last episode on June 6, just days after the grooming allegations against Colleen surfaced.
Trisha also reflected on her and Colleen’s friendship over the years, and her shock at learning about the alleged texts.
‘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 [Colleen’s] house, meeting her newborn and doing a Mukbang with her.’

It comes just a few days after Ballinger denied performing Beyoncé’s Single Ladies in blackface.
The YouTuber, who was accused of using n-word by ex-employee, was seen in a viral clip dancing in what looked like blackface, but said she was actually wearing green makeup and dressed as the Elphaba from the musical Wicked.
In the clip, Ballinger is seen dancing and singing along to Beyoncé’s song Single Ladies while wearing paint on her face.
Now, Ballinger has said through an attorney the clip was from 2009 and in fact recorded immediately after she had performed a song from Wicked with Oliver Tompsett, one of the musical’s stars.
