Tana Mongeau is a massively popular YouTuber
who boasts millions of subscribers.
Known for her admittedly outrageous story
time content, she's also faced her fair share
of controversies both real and manufactured.
So, smash that like button and subscribe to
the untold truth of Tana Mongeau.
TanaCon disaster
In a nearly 80-minute video called "Why I
Won't Be Attending Vidcon 2018: A Rant," Mongeau
explained her beef with VidCon after the yearly
YouTuber conference didn't provide her with
a "Featured Creator" badge in 2016.
In protest, Mongeau created "TanaCon," a rival
convention set to take place the same weekend
as VidCon and right down the street, according
to Forbes.
"All of the unwanted people should host a
little meet and greet in Anaheim California
on the same days as VidCon, I'd love to do
it."
However, it was an unmitigated disaster.
According to The Verge, it was labeled the
"new Fyre Fest" due to scheduling conflicts,
an over-capacity venue, and thousands of attendees
stuck outside without food, water, or shelter
from the sun.
The event ended up being shut down altogether.
A year later, Mongeau told Paper magazine,
"I think in the moment I was so excited for
it to be a real possibility and I definitely
was harboring a lot of really negative emotions
towards VidCon, just thinking in a really
unhealthy way.
[...] Wow, this was a giant mistake with so
many of the wrong intentions."
"I let so many people down and I want to make
it right but it's crazy, this is not something
that I ever thought would happen and I don't
know what to do."
Tana and Bella
Actress Bella Thorne and Mongeau were first
romantically linked in September 2017, when
they posted photos of the two kissing.
Mongeau tweeted alongside the snaps,
"Dreams do come true kids."
However, their relationship ended a little
over a year later.
Thorne tweeted in February 2019,
"Tana and I aren't together anymore, [please]
stop asking.
We love U guys."
Confirming their breakup, Mongeau shared alongside
a broken heart emoji:
"I love her forever don't get that twisted.
she changed my life forever.
don't [really] wanna talk on it.. there's
no negativity at all."
By early June of that year, Mongeau publicly
asked Thorne to take her back on Twitter…
but less than two weeks later, she announced
her engagement to Jake Paul.
Beef with Whoopi
After an alleged hacker threatened her with
extortion over nude photos, Bella Thorne took
back her power and posted the images in question
on Twitter in June 2019.
Shortly after, the ladies of The View weighed
in on the controversial matter with Whoopi
Goldberg pointing the blame at Thorne based
on the fact that it's so common to be hacked
these days.
"If you're famous, I don't care how old you
are, you don't take nude pictures of yourself."
Thorne called Goldberg's comments "disgusting"
and refused to appear on the daytime talk
show, and Mongeau came to Thorne's defense
on social media, writing in her Instagram
Stories,
"Yo F--- [Whoopie Goldberg].
F--- slut shaming.
F--- blaming girls for bad things that happen
to them & inciting fear.
[...] Whoopi I feel so sorry for you to have
that mindset."
Exploiting Mac?
On the day of rapper Mac Miller's death in
September 2018, Mongeau posted a screenshot
of a text conversation she'd had with him.
According to Pop Crave, she wrote in part
in a since-deleted caption,
"You had this love for life and what you do
that made me fall for you 10x harder.
[...] I wanted to come over last night…
my soul is shattered... what i would do for
you to tuck my hair behind my ear and kiss
me one last time … I love you Malcolm.
I love you."
The YouTube star later sent out a follow-up
tweet hinting that she and the rapper had
shared a secret relationship, which led many
to believe she was using Miller's death to
bring attention to herself.
One Twitter user wrote,
"Did…..tana mongeau just announce the fact
she was dating mac miller in a post that was
made to honour his death but just ended up
being more about her?"
Money moves
Not content with simply being a YouTube personality,
Mongeau began to expand her entertainment
horizons in 2019.
In addition to trying her hand at acting in
the platform's murder mystery competition
web series, Escape The Night, she also struck
a deal with Viacom Digital Studios for her
own show, MTV No Filter: Tana Turns 21.
Adding to her on-screen prospects, Mongeau
has been making that money move through other
lucrative projects.
