Colleen Ballinger recently responded to all the backlash by releasing a video where she was seen singing a song and playing the ukulele. In the video, she said all the claims and accusations were just "toxic gossip." In the video, she denied all the accusations. However, the netizens still bashed her in the video and did not seem to buy her version.

At the moment, talking about her current fiasco, many netizens also suggested that the paint on her face could be the green paint from some previous show. However, the justification did not seem to affect the criticism of the masses. Ballinger has not responded to the backlash over her recently resurfaced video.
