YouTube creator and performer Colleen Ballinger, best known as the creator of Miranda Sings, is facing new criticism over a years-old video in which she appears to sing Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” in blackface.
The resurfacing of the video comes after
Ballinger last week publicly responded to accusations that she formed inappropriate relationships with teenagers , denying that she had “groomed” fans who were children. In a June 28 video, she denied the “lies” and “gossip” about her — partly in song, while accompanying herself on a ukulele. “I’m sure you’re disappointed in my shitty little song / I know you wanted me to say that I was 100% in the wrong / well I’m sorry I’m not gonna take that route / of admitting to lies and rumors that you made up for clout,” Ballinger sang.
In 2020, Ballinger had issued an apology for a separate video in which she impersonated Latina women. “It is not funny, and it is completely hurtful,” she said in that apology video. “I am so ashamed and embarrassed that I ever thought this was OK. I was a sheltered teenager who was stupid and ignorant and clearly extremely culturally insensitive… Racial stereotypes are not funny, they’re not a joke, and they should never be joked about.
