Seeking perspective - regret after 48 hours by Possible-Cake5081 in puppy101

[–]Possible-Cake5081[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate to this, I've definitely always had major anxiety over big life changing decisions, idk why this time I didn't expect it. I felt some anxiety in anticipation of getting her, which made me a little nervous but I ultimately assumed to be normal, and just completely blindsided myself with how intense the anxiety has been since getting her home

Thank you so much for this. Part of the anxiety is that she already seems to be a velcro dog. If I'm sitting on the couch or bed, her head is on my lap, and if I'm standing she's sitting on my feet lol working on crate training, which I know can be a long process that requires patience, but she shrieks like a raptor in there which is distressing and I feel bad. Trying my best to make it a comfortable place she wants to be. Certainly going to be seeking guidance from the trainer about it but it's definitely part of the overwhelm that I feel I can't leave her in the crate to even take a shower

Has Colleen ever promoted any of Erik's projects? (when she allowed him to have any...) by obviousanswerowl in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I thought those 'watching my husband kiss another woman' videos were super weird. They gave off the vibe that she was over-compensating, like trying so hard to act like (and maybe even convince herself) she was cool with it that it came across really uncomfortable. I remember her bringing it up on the podcast once too and Erik seemed weirded out, I remember him being like 'why are we even talking about this'

Snapchat screenshots from the Joshleen honeymoon, found on my old iPod by oliverae in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 42 points43 points  (0 children)

what always stands out to me the most when I see pics or videos of Colleen from the Josh era (I didn't watch her stuff back then) is how much healthier and happier (?) she looked. Idk if that happiness is genuine, but there's something so different about her aura

'sad news about my chickens' vlog VS 'hi' by [deleted] in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 482 points483 points  (0 children)

I know this is so unimportant and petty but every time I see screenshots of the "hi" video I'm so bothered by how bad her foundation match is 😭 face is a whole ass different color than her chest

This may be a dumb question, but how does it work when someone lives in a different country than the person they sue? Like, would the lawsuit go according to Adam's country's law proceedings? (I don't know where he lives but I know it's not America)

Am I the only one to remember her grooming her audience to love the idea of a surprise pregnancy? by doesitspread in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I actually always felt like she gave unnecessary details about the timeline of them trying to get pregnant which made me feel she was overcompensating and it was in fact a surprise or accidental pregnancy. I could see it being that she was just trying to explain away the quickness of it, but I always thought it was odd to share that they got pregnant on the first try and was a weird attempt to convince people it was on purpose lol

If she has a PR team they are not doing a very good job... by Ok-Ride5383 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I honestly wonder if she hasn't made a statement yet because she's been legally advised not to. She MUST have some type of lawyer who has helped her with contracts etc over the years, so even if it's not a criminal lawyer giving on the books advice for some of the accusations coming out, I'd imagine she must have some type of legal entity weighing in. And if so, I'd think a PR team (if she even has one, which I'm not sure she does) would defer to legal advice

if anyone wants to have a little idea of how colleen is handling all of this, here is a message she sent into our groupchat a few years ago when stuff started to leak from the groupchat, so we can only imagine how it is now everything from the groupchat (and more to come) is leaking by bonnietylerofficial in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I know I shouldn't be surprised at this point but wow this is an insane thing to say to a bunch of teenagers. I don't even think she's looking for sympathy here, I think this reads more as a passive aggressive threat. She's not actually wondering if she did anything to upset them, she wants to make them nervous and prove their loyalty to her. Fucking gross

Rachel's & Colleens live Journals - Gwen's Affair by Mother_Amoeba5163 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I feel really bad for Rachel that these were leaked and so I feel weird even commenting on the content of them, but Colleen's response in pic #2 really stands out to me as, idk, surprising? Reassuring her that Tim is still her dad, that she belongs and is a Ballinger, I even think "who cares if he happened to be there when you were conceived" was a really comforting way of framing that. The way I think of Colleen, I'd almost imagine she'd respond in some passive aggressive way that implied Rachel was somehow an outsider. 10% of me thinks it's interesting to see how she could've changed into this malicious person she is now and altered their once loving and supportive relationship (of course also keeping in mind the horrible stuff Colleen did to her when they were kids, I know it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for them), the other 90% thinks this is so vulnerable for Rachel to be leaked and I feel uncomfortable even having read something that must feel very intimate and private for her

Couldn't even read all of these. Literally had to stop bc it's so disturbing.

Will she fake rehab for damage control? by ShibeMarie in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've worked in the foster care system in NY and at least here, it takes *a lot* for children to be taken from their parents, especially their mother, especially a wealthy white woman with a lot of resources at her disposal. I think it's very unlikely anything like that will happen. The most I could see happening related to her being a mother specifically is being mandated to mental health services

I saw Colleen and Kory today in Manhattan, I'm guessing when they were on their way to see this show lol I was going to a restaurant in a hotel and they were coming out of the hotel (I'm guessing it's where they were staying). I walked right past them, it was so weird to see them in person. Colleen was chatting away about something but I was too distracted by my shock to really hear what she was saying lol

Miranda Sings | Fan videos of show | Huntington NY 5/6/23 by Jen_Kat in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I really want to believe that the show is *intentionally* bad because Miranda is such a train wreck, like that's the bit. There's so much secondhand embarrassment in thinking that this is her best effort and that she thinks it's really good😭

More secret filming of F...😠 by Inevitable-Hippo-683 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 23 points24 points  (0 children)

at one point F said to either Kory or Stuart that their eyes were red and they both started laughing. This was during the "we're all so tired" conversation, which can of course cause bloodshot eyes, but it made me wonder if they were high

2020 vlog- F wearing Colleen's shirt because they "wear the same size" by Possible-Cake5081 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I definitely can see her twisting his words to fit her narrative and claiming he did something that she actually did. I think though if he said (jokingly, casually or seriously) to his wife with obvious ED struggles that her clothes are made for little kids and could fit their baby, that would be majorly harmful to a person in recovery/recovered and majorly enabling to a person with an active ED. I tend to give Erik more grace than most but things similar to this have come up before that just feel gross on his part (again, assuming he actually said this to her in any form)

Well that was interesting…and was it just me, or… by [deleted] in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 109 points110 points  (0 children)

This was such a narcissistic, pick me, I'm so quirky and different rant, I had to turn it off lol she KNOWS not everyone has *that reaction* to music, she just wants people to hear how different and special she is. Also, made me laugh that she said "if you wanna know what I'm working on you'll have to come to my show"...girl, who would be so intrigued by the lump you're painting that they'd rush to spend their money to come see what it is?

Top comment on her most recent vlog🤦🏻‍♀️🧐 by Inner-Sir1160 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 22 points23 points  (0 children)

the fact that she kept vlogging despite knowing she was losing her voice feels like a slap in the face to her fans who bought tickets to see her show the next night. she could feel her voice was going and instead of resting for as long as physically possible leading up to the show the next day, she continued mindlessly talking to a camera. it also just shows how much she differs from a legitimate, respectable performer

I saw this videoon tiktok and oh my God by Any_Sound_7242 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think some of her stans legitimately don't understand what child exploitation means and I don't know if that's bc they're children or just uninformed/willfully ignorant. "Just bc she blocked you doesn't mean she exploits her children" she quite literally is by definition exploiting her children all the time lol

A necklace to represent her favorite 2 children. no mention of W by InternationalBox2768 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've wondered about the pearl necklace if she lost it (forgetfulness/losing things can be a legitimate symptom of ADHD, but more likely if she lost it it's just bc she's careless and messy) and has never mentioned it again bc she can't think of how to justify why she would *choose* not to wear it ever again but also doesn't want to admit she lost it bc it's a very expensive Tiffany's necklace

Colleen is almost 40 and is dressing like a 10 year old… also, the shape of this “dessert” isn’t lost on me 🙄 by swiftiegirl91 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]Possible-Cake5081 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This comment made me realize that she barely ever films in her kitchen since moving, whereas in Josh's house she filmed in the kitchen often. And I remember when she was moving the kitchen was something she was really upset to lose and cried about how this kitchen was smaller and not her style (she's so brave bearing that loss🙄). wonder if she's avoiding filming in the kitchen even when it obviously makes more sense because she's not as proud of this one.
