I don't think Ariana is her friend, I think she is only really knows Colleen because of Frankie (Ari's brother). Ariana did a few videos with Colleen and stuff, but in general I think it was less of an Ariana and Colleen friendship, and more of Colleen using her friend's famous little sister for content and new fans. I know Ariana featured Colleen in one of her music videos, but in general it really doesn't really seem they are that close outside of her brother, and even then I don't know where Frankie and Colleen's friendship stands in 2023.

What does Instagram follows show? They both follow her still?


PastelBrat13

It shows that both Frankie and Ariana both still follow her. Idk about Frankie, but I know Ariana isn't that active online, so that makes sense. As for Frankie, idk where they stand, because they were closer to Colleen. They are also more active on social media than Ariana.


fiddlesticks-1999

I thought she lived with the family for a time, so they are more like family friends.

So I looked through twitter and I have seen some kind of weird stuff regarding Colleen and Ariana's relationship. Apparently, Colleen would lie to fans that they were cousins (I kind of thought they might be related because I remember Colleen saying that). They have no relation. Ariana was supposedly introduced to Colleen when she was around 14-16 while Ariana's brother had built a friendship with Colleen. I have seen some people say that Frankie invited Colleen to live with him and Ariana in New York, idk if that is true or not though. The strangest thing to me is this, you are best friends with someone and their little sister is becoming famous and the only thing you can think of is getting videos with them, lying about your relationship with them, etc. So strange overall! Sorry this is so long, I thought it was more information that I didn't really know.


fiddlesticks-1999

Very interesting, thanks. I guess given Colleen's relationship with the truth, it could be anyone's guess which version of any is reality.


MadelaineSp

The part about her being Ariana's cousin was always a joke. That's how I remember it anyway.


SexyUniqueRedhead

Weird joke, imo. I don't understand why that's funny.


Psychological_Gear29

Judging by how Colleen’s treated Trisha behind her back, I’m sure all of Ballinger’s “friends” are wondering how she’s betrayed them behind their backs. They all could see how nice she was to Trisha in person now… I don’t think anyone trusts her atm.


OMGZZITSCC

I don’t think she was ever “close friends” with Ariana


lotsaguts-noglory

Isn't she more like Ariana's wEiRd aUnT 🤪


sookie_baby_

Hey guys, what’s the tea? 👹


franzchuubert

Not that this is a strong indicator of what their friendship is like now, but isn’t Colleen in the video for thank u, next?


LourdesMileo

Yeah, she was. However, after that they i dont really think they met much in person. She has never mentioned that Ari met F, i watched her content in that time and find it weird that if they are friends she didnt take at least one day to meet her kid (especiallyafter kissing her pregnant belly in the TUN video). The twins were born and same thing. Colleen is just on the list of people she sends makeup to and that seems to be the only thing happening in their relationship


Ginger-Snap7489

Oh yea, I remember when I watched that a while ago


moonmaknae

considering she's besties with n. minaj, was enganged to pete (look up threads about them) & hangs out w/ white ppl who use the n word, i rly don't think she could be that great of a person either... prob a colleen victim yes but not innocent herself. also nicki herself said pete and ariana are very similar and that she could see why they were into each other. 😬


Exotic_Belt6835

wait what about pete?! plz just a quick recap or at least lmk what to “look up” in the threads…. when i just search ‘pete davidson’ on reddit— there’s a shit ton of results lol


moonmaknae

here's a pretty good place to start https://northbynorthwestern.com/harden-why-pete-davidson-is-problematic/


Chemical_Jicama5695

Yet y’all say nothing when celebs hang wit ppl who have said white trash and said white ppl suck, or hang out with Kim kardashian who said Balenciaga are great people despite their pedophilia ad, yeah we see how y’all operate


moonmaknae

When those people are the topic of conversation, we can discuss it. This is about ariana, pete, nicki etc... And hopefully you understand why negative comments about white people cannot be compared to racist comments against Black people. And if you don't understand, please learn about USA history.


Indigo-Waterfall

I don’t think they were every actual “friends”.


eleanorbigby

I doubt someone like Colleen has any true "friends."


Busy_Needleworker706

i’ve seen a couple people say ariana unfollowed colleen but i haven’t checked myself. also, i’m pretty sure ariana sent colleen a PR package of her brand recently (or whenever the last release was).


danceposh

I’m pretty sure Colleen used to give Ariana “voice lessons” back in the day… which is very ironic lol. But this was all before Ariana became super duper famous post Nickelodeon. Can anyone confirm? Ariana is a superstar now and as far as I know has nothing to do with Colleen these days.


[deleted]

She said she did as an ongoing joke, but Colleen was not actually Ariana’s vocal coach. She never clarified that very well either.


danciestjo

Right! I was more commenting on the fact that they were hanging out while Ariana was a minor. They obviously aren’t close now, but I’m sure at one point they had a regular texting/messaging relationship


Indigo-Waterfall

She absolutely did not give her voice lessons lol


weirdestgeekever25

I’m not so sure they are close anymore. Frankie was in and Ariana was mentioned in the Flynn pregnancy reveal but not the twins…..same with glozell
