Tana Marie Mongeau[1] (born: June 24, 1998)[3] is an American[2] YouTuber who is known for her storytime videos.
YouTube
After joining YouTube, Mongeau quickly gained subscribers.[4] She has collaborated with other YouTubers such as Jonah Green,[5] Cody Ko,[6] Polina Beregova,[7] Channon Rose,[8] and Ricky Dillon.[9]
Personal life
Tana had a difficult childhood. She has previously spoken about the constant fighting in her household.[10] She also had a stalker when she was in 2nd grade that may or may not still be stalking her. Tana has sent him to jail,[11] but he has since been released, and she believes that he broke into her old house.[12] Growing up in Las Vegas had also exposed her to parties, drugs, and alcohol at a very young age.[13]
Controversy
iDubbbz and Tana Meet-up
On December 10, 2016, Mongeau tweeted at iDubbbzTV deriding him for his frequent use of the N-word in his videos. The tweet stated, “@Idubbbz so 3 million ppl subscribe to u and u openly say the n-word and retard???? kill yourself”.[14] Mongeau further derided iDubbbz in her livestreams and other videos. In response, iDubbbz purchased a VIP ticket to Mongeau’s show in San Francisco, and, on January 21, 2017, attended said show.[15] At the VIP meet-and-greet, iDubbbz posed for a picture with Mongeau and while the photo was being taken, iDubbbz said: “Say ni**er!”. This caused outrage from onlookers, and Mongeau responded by storming out of the area, prompting security to ask iDubbbz to leave, which he did.[16]
Content Cop
He has apologized since.[17]
TanaCon
For more information, see the TanaCon article at the Tana Mongeau wiki.
Due to her absence from VidCon 2018 for issues that have been brewing between VidCon security and the bigger YouTubers attending the event,[18] Tana wanted to create her own convention called "TanaCon". TanaCon would start the same day as VidCon; however, on day 1 of the event, the fire martials shut it down due to safety hazards, being an excess of 4,000 people above the maximum site capacity of around 1,000.[19] On Twitter, a user posted a video showing the entire line of people going to TanaCon.[20]
