Trisha Paytas texts and photos by Colleen Ballinger go viral as drama controversy blows up on Twitter and Reddit
American YouTuber Trisha Paytas opened up about Colleen Ballinger. In her 21-minute-long YouTube video, she said that she “does not condone” Ballinger’s actions.
She said, “I do not condone it. I think it’s the most disgusting thing. And above all else, illegal.”
The incident occurred when Paytas and Ballinger, who had been friends for a very long time, started a podcast together in May 2023 called “Oversharing With Colleen and Trish”.
Since some of her followers came forward and said that Ballinger kept inappropriate and uncomfortably close relationships with them when they were minors and as young as 13, Colleen Ballinger has been in the negative media spotlight.
On July 3, two of the former supporters came out and asserted on Twitter that she had sent them offensive texts when they were minors.
The texts allegedly contained n*ked images and videos of Paytas. Johnny Silvestri, one of the accusers, published screenshots of the claimed conversations between the two of them.
The images, which quickly went viral, startled a number of social media users since they dint find it right.
One of them responded to Johnny Silvestri’s post by saying, “This is legitimately horrifying that Colleen was doing this and even continued to do it after her son was born.

Trisha Paytas’ Response On The Most Recent Video On Colleen Ballinger
Trisha Paytas stated in her video that she was unaware of what was going on with Colleen Ballinger and her young admirers. She said that she has always been adamantly opposed to underage connections and partnerships.
“Everyone knows I don’t talk to anyone younger than 18, whether platonically or otherwise. When it comes to the relationships I had when I was younger, I have a lot of trauma. And much of my trauma now—which has always been sexual—is related to education.”
The screenshots of Ballinger’s texts with her followers left her “shocked.” She added that being a full-time commercial s*x worker already carries “stigma” and “misconceptions.”
Trisha Paytas on Johnny Silvestri
Trisha Paytas also discussed Johnny Silvestri, who alleges that Ballinger shared photos from Trisha’s OF with her young followers in group chats to body shame her.
Trisha Paytas said she does not support sending “unsolicited n*des” to anyone, regardless of whether they are s*x workers or not.
Paytas claimed that the texts were recent because she had just spent a month with Ballinger, getting to know her new baby and filming Mukbang videos with her. She continued by saying that Colleen had previously told her that the incident was unintentional and that she had never shared Paytas’ photos with anyone.
“I have no support for Colleen at all. Her video was not an apology, and it downplayed the gravity of her chatting with and inviting teenagers on her show. These individuals are speaking up and are uneasy about a cause. Recognise it, make an adjustment, and improve.”
In her final statement, Trisha Paytas declared that Colleen was no longer an existential concern for her and that she would never speak to her again.
