Colleen Ballinger's Ex Husband Reacts to Her Musical Grooming Denial

Joshua David Evans, the first husband of embattled internet sensation Colleen Ballinger, is coming forward to chime in on the recent allegations against his ex-wife.

In case you missed it, Ballinger, the YouTube star better known for her alter ego, Miranda Sings, has recently faced allegations that she previously acted inappropriately with fans.

The 36-year-old internet entertainer uploaded a video to YouTube on Wednesday, June 28 in attempt to clear things up, performing a song on the ukulele to deny the string of accusations against her—allegations she nicknamed "the toxic gossip train."

While Ballinger attempted to take "accountability" for some actions of her past, she refused to say she was "was 100 percent in the wrong," prompting some critics to call her out for gaslighting the alleged victims, who have recently come forward with their experiences.

Evans–who got divorced from Ballinger in 2016—took to Twitter to react to the musical clip, writing, "This behavior was my reality anytime I spoke up & disagreed with her actions & rhetoric during 2009-2016. I was gaslit too."

"I was made to feel like I was always the problem," he continued. "Any pain I felt was an inconvenience and was belittled."

Ballinger is now married to Haters Back Off co-star Erik Stocklin, with whom she shares three children.

"Every ounce of what you’re feeling, I understand," Evans concluded, seemingly addressing the alleged victims.

Evans, 39, also made a point to express his reasons for speaking out about the situation by clarifying in a follow-up tweet, "I have no desire to use this as a catalyst for a YouTube comeback. It’s not a safe place for me. I’m past that."

Instead, he insisted, "My voice is only here to help validate those that are hurting, nothing more. I have no need to make any money off of this. That is gross & not in my heart, whatsoever."

In another tweet posted on Wednesday, Evans wrote, "Anyone feeling hurt & gaslit right now, my message to you is this: Your experiences were real. The proof is there. Your trauma should be taken seriously. The proof is there. Your anger is justified. The proof is there. You deserve better. Take your power back. Sending you love."

Parade has reached out to Ballinger's rep for comment on Evans' statement, but has not heard back.

This update comes two weeks after Evans apologized to Miranda Sings fan Johnny Silvestri, who, according to TIME, claims he was a part of group video calls with Ballinger and Evans when he was only 15, alongside other underage fans. Silvestri later worked on the Miranda Sings tour, telling the publication he was only paid “a little bit over $3,500” for his couple months of work.

Evans wrote on Twitter earlier in June, “I owe you an apology. You were young when I thought I could mentor you in a positive way."

As Evans continued, he noted that he made "a lot of mistakes back then," adding, "I'm so sorry for ever making you feel disregarded and tossed to the side. My life was toxic and chaotic for a long time. I was toxic. I was chaotic. You were young and needed consistency. And protection. I didn't give that to you.
