Colleen Ballinger's dog video sparks outrage online

Netizens were disgusted after hearing the comedian recount the dog story. Many pointed out that Colleen Ballinger did not seem to show any remorse for what she did and probably did not even realize that what she did was wrong.

Someone also noted how Kory Desoto, Colleen’s friend and fellow YouTuber, who sat next to her in the video, looked uncomfortable and possibly equally mortified next to Colleen as she was narrating the story.

"I murdered a dog": Colleen said in the viral video

In the video, Colleen Ballinger said that she used to rip things off when she used to get angry. She continued to narrate that when she was a kid, she grabbed her dog for no reason, pinched its skin, and dug her nails into the animal, causing the dog to yelp in her hold. It then turned around and bit Colleen on her face.

The YouTuber said that she went to the hospital to get stitches and was asked what had happened. In the video, Colleen mimicked her response in a child’s voice, saying that the dog bit her.

She further revealed that the dog was then put down, i.e., euthanized, because they deemed the dog dangerous to be around. At the end of the clip, Colleen nonchalantly stated:

“So, I murdered a dog.”

The comedian already had controversial accusations, including grooming and racism, added to her name. This discovery of her abusing a dog enraged people even more.
