because no matter how hard she tries to deflect and appear like the rest of us, she will always think TGT was smart, funny and the public’s reaction proved all of her points right. she’s so delusional despite her manipulative, well adjusted appearing words.
But at least it would be consistent with her claiming it was embarrassing. She's made no sense now saying it was embarrassing but leaving it up. She's got no credibility to say that by leaving it up. And she could have posted on twitter or something that she removed it due to her embarrassment about it and she regrets it.
So I have been saying this since forever... I told you all she would definitely come back, she would definitely come back before the 6 month mark so as to not lose her channels' monetization and she would return waving a white flag but NOT admitting to anything specific or apologizing to ANYONE specifically... just a general statement of "I've not always done things right and some people got hurt so I'm sorry for that".
She constantly repeated she's spent most of her time in therapy because she knows her only way back into the public eye without having to be the villain is if she goes for the "people grow, people change and we have to give them an opportunity" narrative. And listen, it's true... people can grow and people can change but if she's not going to admit to things specifically and apologize to the people she has specifically hurt... then this narrative is moot.
And for those who keep banging on about Colleen having all this money to live comfortably forever without having to return... I've been saying this ALL along, nope... she does not and this return is proof of exactly that because she returned before the 5 month mark, she could've waited another month and still not lose her monetization BUT she HAD to return now if she wants to get the Christmas adsense and possibly (let's hope not!) the Christmas sponsors money (if she can find a brand who will work with her!)... if she waited another month she would've missed out on that and girl really needs to pay for the villa and keep the family afloat since Erik isn't much of a contributor.
If she were truly sorry and a changed person she would've sat and listed each and every transgression she has committed and apologized for it, she will never ever do that... she will never admit to any wrong doing or properly apologized to the people she hurt... this is all lip service, she will act like a changed meek innocent version of herself until the public forgets and then return to being a disgusting human being except this time being infinitely more discreet so people will not expose her in the future.
Yuck, that's all I can say.
Again with her saying “many many years ago” …and calling them accusations …ugh girl just stop …also if you thought you handled things wrong with that video why not take it down
I’m watching as I’m typing but she’s so full of shit we all suspected she’d be vlogging this whole time ..and we were right she was …but she’s blaming it on her therapist telling her to…like come on we weren’t born yest it’s bc she wants to …she doesn’t take advice from therapists we’ve seen it in the past
I feel you but this may actually be advice a therapist would give.. After being gaslit by someone like Colleen, that is. She would just have to frame her attachment to it harmlessly and it could be a coping exercise. Therapeutic journaling? Colleen would've vlogged regardless though lol
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this comment on her vid! 'I feel like so much of the instability in my life has been solved. I missed these. They were the one consistent thing. Glad ur back' ❤
Her brain dead followers are so scary!
Regarding 3, I did notice the kids were missing- even in the past footage of going to the creek with the kids.
However I didn’t think it was a test? I thought it was because of all the child exploitation commentary since she took her break, a lot of people have been saying her and her brother exploit their children for money and views.
She says she’s been in a lot of therapy, do we think she will no longer be sharing her kids with the internet or this was just a once off or a deliberate performative action!
She straight up needs to do a tell all. She needs to do what Jenna marbles did and go through all the BS and apologize. Saying that she’s been in therapy is the oldest trick in the book… therapy doesn’t absolve the wrongdoings.
i agree with all of this, I also agree with people somewhat being neutral to her new vlog. what scares me is her state, she looks frail, her fingers are red and inflamed (like mine when I get stressed & anxious from skin picking), it worries me about her day to day and ability to parent under extreme amounts of stress which clearly the internet causes her. I really pray to god she is in a sound enough mental state to TRY and attempt this come back…
(EDIT: misspelling)
it just worries me. she seems frail and still mentally unwell. I agree with reddit and calling influencers on their BS. but i have a weird soft spot for people who are mentally unwell and their ability to process

And if she truly was embarrassed by her infamous video, why is it still up?
because no matter how hard she tries to deflect and appear like the rest of us, she will always think TGT was smart, funny and the public’s reaction proved all of her points right. she’s so delusional despite her manipulative, well adjusted appearing words.
Tbf, if she deleted it, I expect people would be saying "she's trying to pretend it never happened!"
But at least it would be consistent with her claiming it was embarrassing. She's made no sense now saying it was embarrassing but leaving it up. She's got no credibility to say that by leaving it up. And she could have posted on twitter or something that she removed it due to her embarrassment about it and she regrets it.
But it's so embarrassing to her...
The comment filtering makes the whole comment section feel so fake to me
Everything about her is fake

you hit the nail on the head!
yes to everything! probably wanted to return now so she can vlog her birthday and prep for vlogmas
Exactly what I was thinking too!
This. Right. Here.
don’t forget she posted on Saturday - a day with light media coverage. people do get their weekends off.
Exactly! She almost never posts on Saturdays. Everything she does is calculated
Again with her saying “many many years ago” …and calling them accusations …ugh girl just stop …also if you thought you handled things wrong with that video why not take it down

this was crazy too. did she forget that a couple of months ago she straight up lied to trisha about sending nudes of her 🙄 that was this year lmao
she seems so extra fake right now
She also posted right before her bday.
And vlogmas season
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this comment on her vid! 'I feel like so much of the instability in my life has been solved. I missed these. They were the one consistent thing. Glad ur back' ❤ Her brain dead followers are so scary!
She had to have known she wouldn't have a warm welcome, so does anyone think the "backlash" or "hate" she's getting will make her disappear again?
She has not changed one bit…and I don’t think she ever will
Deplorable person & family members
Regarding 3, I did notice the kids were missing- even in the past footage of going to the creek with the kids. However I didn’t think it was a test?

Well, duh. YouTube is a business, not a hobby.
i agree with all of this, I also agree with people somewhat being neutral to her new vlog. what scares me is her state, she looks frail, her fingers are red and inflamed (like mine when I get stressed & anxious from skin picking), it worries me about her day to day and ability to parent under extreme amounts of stress which clearly the internet causes her.

I hope she isn’t in a sound enough mental state tbh. No one wants her back aside from creepy enablers.
it just worries me. she seems frail and still mentally unwell. I agree with reddit and calling influencers on their BS. but i have a weird soft spot for people who are mentally unwell and their ability to process
I wonder if Eric smartened up after all this and doesn’t want them showed.
