Trisha responds to the nude photos controversy
Following the leak of her intimate pictures Trisha, 35, took to her YouTube to respond to the fiasco.
The YouTube star titled her video “colleen” and opened up about her feelings in regard to the controversy. The video is 21 minutes and 29 seconds long.
She opened up about her friendship with Colleen years before starting their 2023 podcast together. The duo’s comedy podcast is named Oversharing with Colleen Ballinger & Trisha Paytas. “We were always friendly before,” she said. “We weren’t close friends, we were friends” she said.
The YouTuber also touched upon being a s*x worker and facing various “stigmas,” and “allegations” due to her profession.
“I do not condone at all, unsolicited nudes sending to anyone of anybody” she said before continuing, “I think using someone’s nudes as a way to hurt them, make fun of them, make light of them, is the lowest form of intelligence.”
“I’m embarrassed to be associated with her. I’m embarrassed for the fans that she messaged those too. That should never have happened. And again, this really hurts s*x workers as a whole. This is out there and it looks like we’re some deviants because this is used in this way” she further said.
“I had nothing to do with this, I do not condone this. I think it’s the most disgusting thing and above all else illegal.” Trisha hinted at the California law that posting someone’s intimate photos online without their permission is illegal.
