Associated: Colleen Loses Sponsorships After MORE Inappropriate Interactions With Younger Followers Emerge

First Impression

On Friday, April dropped a submit on her weblog known as You Owe Me An Apology, the place she recalled her time on set with Colleen. She shared that she was employed as a “Writers’ Assistant/Showrunner’s Assistant/Writers’ PA” for Haters Again Off, and the present was her “first actual job in Hollywood.”

When she was employed, April didn’t know something about Miranda Sings, so she took it upon herself to search for some movies the evening earlier than her first day on set. And let’s simply say, she was shocked by what she discovered:

“I clicked on her YouTube channel and watched video after video in pure confusion. Isn’t this presupposed to be for teenagers? She was dressed like Bozo the Clown however she saved making odd jokes about being, nicely, molested, and in a single clip, I noticed her on stage, encouraging what gave the impression to be a small baby to actually attain into her pants and rummage round a bit. I texted my associates, hoping considered one of them might clarify her attraction to me as a result of clearly I used to be lacking one thing.”

And her opinion of Colleen solely worsened after they met for the primary time:

“Upon assembly Colleen, my first impression of her was that she was boisterous, opinionated, and had a surprising lack of humility that was in contrast to something I had ever seen. Instantly upon coming into the writers’ room, I used to be handled to story after story about her offered out exhibits, how obsessed her followers had been along with her and the lengths they’d go to get her consideration.”

That seems like a bragger! Elsewhere within the piece, April additionally famous how Colleen usually allegedly made “biting feedback” about these on set and infrequently had a “lack of boundaries” with everybody, together with her:

“She had a knack for making ‘humorous,’ biting feedback concerning the individuals round her and since all of us had her to thank for our jobs, we had been pressured to simply go along with it. She noticed no difficulty with commenting on my hair, or my garments, or asking about my private life. Her lack of boundaries was outstanding.”

However that’s solely half of what April needed to witness on set…

Incest & Rape jokes

When it got here time to pitch tales for the present, April claimed Colleen usually needed to incorporate references to incest. She allegedly pitched plotlines about Miranda and her uncle’s “particular relationship,” the place they “can be caught in compromising positions or stomach-churning moments of intimacy.” WTF?! As April mentioned within the submit:

“She usually pitched tales during which Miranda and Uncle Jim can be caught in compromising positions or stomach-churning moments of intimacy that would all the time be simply defined away by a clueless Miranda. It was my duty to put in writing down each single considered one of these pitches, schedule calls to have a look at mockups of The Daddy Saddle [a prop that Miranda would use to ride on her uncle’s back] that might be featured on the present, and mark factors within the script the place Colleen thought we might make Uncle Jim much more ‘r***y.’”

Once more… What the precise f**okay? Thoughts you, this present was meant for her followers – a lot of whom had been minors! Her options for her Miranda and uncle’s character made April “so, so uncomfortable.” Nevertheless, she was nonetheless tasked with serving to Colleen because the content material creator tried “shoving as a lot incestual innuendo into the present as attainable whereas assuaging the rising behind-the-scenes considerations that the present can be alienating to the meant viewers (which was, once more, youngsters.) April continued:

“All of it felt deeply mistaken – she would present us photographs of the packed rows of smiling kids who had attended her present the evening earlier than, and in the identical breath, spend hours attempting to think about a solution to present Miranda and Uncle Jim all however having precise intercourse on display.”

OMG…

Racism

In keeping with April, she not solely needed to kind “‘jokes’ into the script that to a weak baby, might simply make it almost unattainable to determine inappropriate grownup habits in their very own lives,” however she additionally needed to cope with a ton of racism on set. Terrible.

She recalled one occasion the place she sat in on a manufacturing assembly to take notes about Colleen allegedly insisting that the present have restricted background actors of coloration because the present passed off in Washington – and the influencer additionally thought it might be “distracting” to have them on set. That’s simply so past tousled. And there are sadly extra cases of her racist feedback. April went on to say that Colleen then had an Asian meals market be “re-dressed as a bodega for the present and watched her disgust as she demanded assurance that every one the ‘Asian s**t’ can be eliminated earlier than filming.”

When it got here time to deal with why the entire actors within the present had been white, April mentioned:

“I sat patiently because the Powers That Be expressed concern that the complete primary solid for the present was white and silently prayed that since somebody with some precise say had spoken up, issues would possibly change. And I took be aware, but once more, as Colleen assured them that that they had solely casted the perfect individual for every function and that it wasn’t her fault that every one of these individuals ended up being white.”

Within the weblog submit, April included screenshots of textual content messages she despatched to a pal concerning the audition course of. She instructed her pal that the lighting on the tape “wasn’t nice” and Colleen allegedly yelled out “The place is he” – “implying he’s so darkish skinned he disappeared.” And that’s not all. She then remembered a time when she allegedly caught Colleen saying the N-word:

“I recall overhearing her as soon as brag {that a} creator was being ‘cancelled’ for saying the n-word (and for those who assume she went with ‘n-word’ as a substitute of hitting that onerous ‘r’ then you definitely haven’t been paying consideration) and that she would by no means be silly sufficient to get caught doing one thing like that.”
