What’s the Snark on Tana Mongeau

22:53Brooke Schofield had her racist incident and then it seemed like Tana distanced herself from Brooke because Brooke was getting canceled for being racist. And it's like, well, you also were racist. Right. Pot kettle black. Yeah, exactly. OK, sorry. Yes. And I think that the Brooke thing is very interesting. And I think a lot of Brooke's racist tweets were definitely the root cause of their demise and the demise of the podcast. But I think Tana might have been projecting a little bit for sure to that point. In September 2017, this is when she really came to like the mainstream airwaves. I feel like people who knew her knew her from YouTube.

23:22But remember in May 2017 when Bella Thorne and Scott Disick were seen together? Oh my God. Do you remember? You just unlocked a memory. Yeah. That was when he basically, him and Corny finally called it quits after having such a tumultuous relationship that we saw in Keeping Up. Finally, Corny was like, I'm not doing this anymore. You have an addiction. You're out cheating on me. I'm done. And the first person he decided to lay his eyes on was Bella Thorne. And at the time, Bella was, I think, like 19 and Scott was like early 30s. I think the age gap was crazy. And I think that was the first time as a society we scratched our heads.

23:57Because, like, it had been happening for, like, decades before them. But I feel like for me, at least, as a millennial, that was the first time I saw a noticeable age gap in Ben, like, whoa. Yep. And then he started dating Sophia Ritchie. And we were like, what is wrong with you? Yeah, that's when he just started to have this MO of just liking younger girls. Younger girls that were, like, still teenagers. Yeah, like, recently graduated high school. It's disgusting. But dating Scott Disick at that time really put Bella Thorne into a different stratosphere. Like, again, I didn't know who Bella Thorne was.

24:27I didn't watch her Nickelodeon shows. I think she had a show with Zendaya at one point. But in any case, she was like mainstream Bella, but she wasn't mainstream to me. When Bella came on the scene and Tana there like followed, I felt like that's when Tana really started to make a name for herself. And in September of 2017, the two girls posted an Instagram photo of themselves kissing and putting them into the limelight. And at this point, I don't believe that Tana had ever come out as openly bisexual. but she later said that this stunt of her and Bella went viral overnight and later led to like a genuine relationship but at the time Bella Thorne was dating Maude's son but Bella Thorne was like I'm polyamorous love is love I can date and see multiple people at once so she later ended up in being in somewhat of a throuple Tana now says that wasn't really the case she's like me and Maude's son were definitely not hooking up and we didn't have a relationship but it was almost this push and pull of like which one of us could get Bella's attention like it almost felt really toxic but Bella felt like she was in a position of power and it created toxicity amongst the three of us like we didn't really even see it at the time but looking back it was very toxic um that's so interesting I had no idea yeah I don't remember the Maud Sun Bella Tana throuple but like this is very like a huge highlight I think in her her career her come up yeah yes in Tana's career again I feel like these these people are much younger than us not much younger but like they're younger than us.

25:49So I'm like, okay, just kids being kids, you know? Yeah, I definitely feel like she has a younger audience. Yes. More Gen Z. Yeah. Exactly. And that's a lot of people that we talk about. We're like, we are not the target audience here. Right. Right. I think that the only Gen Z person I genuinely follow is maybe like Alex Earl. I'm trying to think of like, I'm probably Alex Earl transcends generational divide. Yeah. Agreed. So by 2018, off the heels of her relationship with Bella, Tana became one of YouTube's biggest personalities and she became friends with many influencers. She was like rubbing elbows with all the right people in LA.

26:23And she really credits Bella for putting her into this other stratosphere. She's like, listen, I was kind of just this girl from Vegas. I was doing YouTubes. I had a big following on this specific channel. But then I became far more mainstream when she kind of brought me under her wing and showed me her world. And I really credit a lot of my success to like being in a relationship with her. And she's like, it was very genuine. Like even though it was a lot for clout and we were very like online and in each other's everyone's face like it was very genuine for me. So Tana like already had a massive following but being with Bella really catapulted her even further.

26:55Yes and I think Bella just coming off the heels of Scott Disick it was like rising tides. Yep. Raise all ships like all of them just started gaining a lot of popularity. I think the genre of like YouTuber in general is something that we were maybe a little too old for. Like I was never browsing YouTube looking for new like creators to watch videos of but like I know that the younger generation that's something they did and they would discover people like Tana yes I talk about this all the time like my sister was like a David Dobrik fan like since fucking when like since when yeah I'm like what are you talking about like back in the day wait but she's my age yes that's why I'm like that's I don't Audrey's really into that's my favorite that's my favorite Audrey fact or like pia or she always talks about this girl pia rbo or something i she has like a podcast on media but there are certain people like when you know you know and shannon uh fluently for we always like poke fun at her at this we're like yeah we do bravo she does youtube she knows all about elissa violet logan paul that's such a blind spot for sophie and i when she gave us like the rundown on elissa violet i was like there's a whole other world out there yeah and i think elissa violet and Tan are definitely in the same like graduating class you know yes yes absolutely so in July 2021 another highlight of hers is launching the canceled podcast with Brooke Schofield they covered pop culture creator drama etc kind of like us you know but you know what I found to be like whoa my worlds are colliding guess who she initially launched the podcast with Hunter Moreno who is now engaged to Brittany Snow oh my god like that's so random isn't that random because to me Brittany Honey Snow was not even in this YouTube Gen Z content creator thing.

28:34Was it like the three of them at first? Yeah, sorry. So it was Hunter, Brooke, Tana. Right. And then basically Tana admitted it was very clear that the audience wanted more of Brooke and I. And they didn't want Brooke and, I mean, excuse me, Tana and Hunter. I maintain that three person, three host podcasts, no hate to them. It's, you have to be like a certain person to enjoy that. I feel like I get way too, you know, it's too many voices in my opinion. Yeah, it gets really hard to manage, I think, from a production standpoint. There's too many hands in the cookie jar. That's why we don't have a guess.

29:09Yeah, it's too much for us. It's three people talking at once. I'm not a huge fan. What's that? And also having three people's opinions about the business. That just seems very chaotic to me. Yeah, as if this isn't enough. Two days ago, if you guys listened to our DUT, He was talking about how selfie, like, billing addresses matter and credit card. I was, like, talking about how stupid I am and how, like, if Christy, because Christy and Henry, like, you guys basically run my life. Yeah, you guys are the same person. You're both, like, numbers, spreadsheets, Claude. And I'm, like, you two could rule the world if I wasn't holding you back.

29:48Like, Henry and Christy together. You're the creative mind, though. No, but Henry and Christy together would be unstoppable. And then, like, there's me. That's true. You guys could run the world. Yeah. No, no, no. Thank you for saying that. That means a lot. All respect to HOTP, husband of the pod. Yeah, HOTP holds it down. Okay, so one other scandal that I want to touch on that I'm actually curious to hear your thoughts about. Because this, I feel like, wasn't as big as TanaCon controversy, but it was, in fact, a controversy. So in August 2023, Tana went on a rant about this Paris wine tour that she took.

30:18And specifically about the guide that was running this tour. And Tana basically describes in her podcast, she was out in Paris one night. They were getting fucked up. She was like, we were like sword fighting with like baguettes at the Eiffel Tower until like 4.30 a.m. We had to get on a train to go to like the north, like northern France from Paris. It was like a couple hours train ride. Like I was not in the state of mind to like travel this like this early. I was so hungover, like coming down from like, you know, the high of just like going out, being crazy. She says that she got like one and a half hours of sleep.

30:50She wakes up at 6.30 to go to the train station at 8 a.m. She finds out when she's on the train that the tour that they're about to go on is a walking six-mile tour where she's climbing up 500 steps of stairs. And Tana's like, can we skip that spot? I don't want to go up 500 flights of stairs. And I think the guide was getting a little bit frustrated with her. She's like, well, you have to go to all these stops because I'm going to tell you how the wine is made. I'm going to take you to the grapes and da-da-da-da. And Tana's yelling on the podcast being like, we paid you this money. I don't want to learn about the fertilization of grass in the middle of France in a town with a population of 300 people at 840 a.m.

31:28Like, I just walked a mile and a half. My girlfriend's wearing, like, platforms, like, heels. I'm super hungover. Like, I don't even have a glass of wine in my hand yet. She just sounded incredibly ungrateful, right? And people were, I think people were even more upset, as if this wasn't, like, insulting and arrogant to say on a wine tour that I'm sure many would kill to take. She also was expressing how she wanted to be like violent towards the guide because she felt like the guide was being really demeaning towards her. Despite her being very hungover in a bad mood, she said that she wanted to physically fight and curb stomp and even kill the tour guide.

32:02She said, I literally, I absolutely want her dead at the hands of me. Oh, my God. Relax. And Babbel, which is like an app that's like a Duolingo app. It helps you learn foreign languages. I have it. Yeah. Oh, what language are you learning? Well, French. I was. And then I realized I was paying for the app for like six months and I like forgot to open it. Don't you love that? I saw this TikTok of someone saying anytime I see like a$2.99 charge on my Apple, sounds legit. Yeah, I'm like, okay, sure. Yeah. Okay, take my money. It's like$39.99 to Apple every month. I'm like, yeah. Yeah, that sounds reasonable.

32:40Sure. I have to say, like, listening to this, of course, she sounds so cranky, so arrogant, so rude. But I keep thinking, like, if this were, if I were at, like, a co-worker, like, happy hour, and I have this co-worker telling this story and regaling us with this tale, you're saying things that are very exaggerative, and you're using, you're being, like, very extra when you're talking about this story. Like, to me, I get what she was saying. She said it, the violence thing, I don't really necessarily agree with. But like, I think the cancellation of her for saying the story that was clearly just like a big tale that she was trying to exaggerate.

33:12I don't think she necessarily needed all that heat. I just think it's like, why, why did you sign up for something that you didn't want to do? Like you have free will. Why, like, why is this anyone else's fault except yours? Totally. And she said on the podcast that I think one of her staff or her assistant was like, I went on this wine tour before and we have to do it. Like, when we're in France, I'm telling you we got to go on this tour. And she was like, when we got on the tour, the friend realized this was a different tour. Like, her tour wasn't walking. They were on a golf cart. It was a totally different vibe.

33:45My friend felt badly. I agree. It's like, if you know you're going on a wine tour where you're having to travel four hours on a train and you have to be there at 8 a.m., then get some sleep. Like, don't be out until 4.30. Right. That's irresponsible for sure. Like, I would never do that. But I thought the story was a little bit funny. Like, when I was listening to it, I was like, she is a good storyteller. And she's kind of, like, being funny. And also, you need to, like, know your audience and have the wherewithal that this is a very, very, very privileged experience. You are in Paris going on presumably an expensive wine tour.

34:16Right. And you're, like, complaining about it to your audience of people that, I don't know, probably many of them can't buy groceries. Yeah, it's tone deaf. The 2020s have been really hard for people. It's just, it's tone deaf. It's like, just know your audience. Again, if you were at like a work happy hour and you guys all have cushy corporate jobs and you're all laughing about this story together, that's one thing. But, you know, you have to know your audience. Agreed. Like, but I have to admit it was fun. It was actually kind of funny in the way she was telling it. But, yes, I was going to say.

34:46It's just dumb of her. It's dumb. It's dumb. It's like you can say that in the privacy of like a friend group, but maybe not on YouTube where you have hundreds of thousands of listeners. Right. I was going to say, oh, and one thing is like, usually when you're in a different country, like when I do wine tours when I'm traveling or whatever, I've done like a handful or whatever. I'm always very respectful to the guides because like it's their life. This is their job that they're showing up to every day. Oh my God. And they always love it. And they're always so passionate. It's going to make me cry.

35:11I know. My sister, remember when I went to Portugal last year and I talked about that? I was like, our tour guide was so cute. I'm not joking. Me and Sarah went on this Doral Valley wine tour in Porto. And we literally say that was the best day of our lives. Like it was so fun. Because it was the guide. The guide was the best. I personally, like, that is my dream to go on, like, a six-mile walking tour in any country. I'm like, yes. Like, sign me up. That's amazing. I love that. I want to see the sights. I want to get my steps in. I want to drink wine, eat good food. Like, what is not to love?

35:40Like, that to me, I'm like, I know. Does that sound so good right now? Yeah, as you were saying that, I'm like, God, I want to go to France and do, like, a walking tour. I got to get Henry of the Pod to plan a trip for us. No, 100%. snark bait a snark bait retreat henry of the pod henry henry henry one time i did that when i think i was on the phone with him i was like henry i don't think he got it he's like so anyways back to the credit card he's like back to the spreadsheet yeah yeah i was like okay he wasn't like vibing what i was putting down never mind imitating your wife and her valley girl accent oh henry of the pod um okay so let's get into her it sounds like lily of the valley who's lily of the valley it's it's not like a type of flower i mean you know so much and i'm always like what yeah lily of the valley it's a type of plant sure anyway okay sorry keep going so let's talk about the downfall of her and bella's relationship because they made it everyone's business like these girls are very online they're all over twitter they're all over instagram and so they were really hot and heavy they would post pics of them kissing together and they always went viral there's a pic that bella thorn posted on her twitter and it says when you find a girl who knows what you like and it's tana choking her there's just like very extra and seemingly in love and also i feel like even for like i know it seems like 2017 wasn't that long ago but like nine years ago almost 10 years ago that i feel like was still kind of like groundbreaking in a way at the times i think so two famous women being open and out and affectionate on social media was a big deal yes i you know what i'm thinking of is um becca tilly and hayley yes Yoko, they had been together and everyone knew it.

37:19It was like the best kept secret in Bachelor Nation. Yeah. They were together for years until they finally came out like in the 2020s, I want to say. Yeah. And I mean, they didn't even feel comfortable, even though I think they were dating even back then, they didn't even feel comfortable coming out. I even think today will kind of be a bit groundbreaking. I think for two men, it's not as groundbreaking. But for two women to post them being openly in love and adoration, it's not something you see every day. Yeah, it's not something you see that often. Yeah. Yeah. So they did confirm that they were dating and everyone was like all about it.

37:50They felt like gay icons to a lot of the community or bisexual icons to a lot of the community. And Tana made this really long post for their one year anniversary. But in February of 2019, so they were together for almost two years, they announced that they were amicably parting ways via Twitter. And Bella said, Tana and I aren't together anymore. Please stop asking. We love you guys. And Tana also said that same day, I love her forever. Don't get that twisted. She changed my life forever. Don't really want to talk about it. There's no negativity at all. Then two months later after Tana and Bella broke up, Bella and Maude's son also broke up.

38:25Remember, she's poly, so she was dating multiple people. But a couple months after their breakup, Bella shades Tana online. And she made a guest appearance on Logan Paul's Impulsive podcast on July 10th, 2019. And she threw some not-so-subtle shade towards Tana, who was sitting in the audience at the time of the recording. And on the subject of people editing their photos on Instagram, she said, with Instagram, they should really snap down, sorry, Tana, on Facetune and Photoshop. Like calling Tana out for just Photoshopping the hell out of her photos. Ooh, shots fired. Shots fired. Then a week later, this is when Tana announces her engagement to Jake Paul.

38:59So it's just like this whole YouTube community being messy with one another. And Bella posted pics of herself crying after she found out that her ex was engaged to Jake Paul. and she wrote when your ex gets engaged with a crying emoji like a million times and posted a picture of her like with red-eyed and teary and in july 2019 they both got into some twitter beef and bella said tana and i are no longer good she broke girl code and i'm over it and tana responds she goes question mark question mark question mark imagine taking every time you're mad at me to twitter but then telling people how much you care about me what the fuck is this b sad face And Bella said, you legit started dating me for Twitter.

39:37How about you answer your phone and talk to me instead of being on Twitter? And people were shocked because they're like, I thought you guys were just good. You guys were saying how much you still adore each other despite the breakup. But the reason Bella got so pissed off at Tana was because Tana and Maude's son started dating after both of them broke up with their respective relationships with Bella Thorne. And Tana talks about this and she's like, me and Maude actually disliked each other a lot. because, again, we were both dating Bella at the same time. It felt like a competition between the both of us for Bella's attention.

40:08Bella loved being in that center stage where she, like, could kind of play us like fiddles. And ultimately, when we both broke up with Bella, we realized, hey, we actually like each other. We don't despise each other. And we've both kind of gone through similar experiences having dated the same woman. And I think Bella did not take well to that. This is, like, so messy. Yeah. Like, all of this. I can't relate. These kids are so messy. And then they do it all online. They really are. Bella releases a diss track aimed at Tana saying, stupid fucking bitch, you wanted me for clout and I should have thrown you out.

40:40And Bella was like, Tana wishes that she was me. She uses my name for attention. And they have a war on TikTok. Like it just gets messier and messier. Oh, God. She also, now they're fine, but this was like, you know, at the heat of like 2019 when they were not good. But, you know, she gets engaged to Jake Paul in June 2019. And people were suspecting that this whole engagement was a joke for their followers. And mind you, in 2019, Tana was also filming this reality TV show on MTV. And people thought maybe this is like a shtick or something like publicity or PR for her show. But people were like, we're going to be pissed if this engagement turns out to be a stunt.

41:24And Tana insists. She's like, it's not. I'm engaged. Holy fuck. And on July 28th, 2019, Tana and Jake had a public wedding ceremony in Las Vegas. And they streamed it on pay-per-view for 50 bucks and recorded it for Tana's show MTV's No Filter Tana Turns 21. Remember when MTV kept like making reality shows for these like teen girls a thing with like Kylie's show too? That was on E! I think. Yeah, Kylie's show was on E! Did you watch that, by the way? Yeah, of course I did. Life of Kylie. It was so boring. She's just like so boring, but like, you know. Yeah, I know. We were so fascinated with her at the time, though.

41:58Yes. We still are, but. Yeah. Okay, let's move on to some of her largest controversies. So let's talk about TanaCon in June 2018, which I think to date is her largest controversy, right above her N-word slur with I-dubs. So in May 2018, Tana announced that she was going to host TanaCon, which was a self-styled convention in Anaheim, California, which was set for June 2018. So she released this TanaCon and was set to put it on in just a month's time, like one month. Yeah, that's going to go over well. Yeah. I mean, you and I are doing live shows and the amount of planning and everything that is going into it for a very small, small fraction of what she did, like this is literally impossible.

42:40Yeah. And it was intended as an alternative to VidCon, which at VidCon in 2017, organizers declined to give Tana the rights of a featured creator at their event. So she was like, I want to be put on like your, you know, your list. And they were like, sorry, no. So she's like, well, fuck you guys. I'm going to do my own thing. And this was like her payback. She was like, well, I'm going to do my own VidCon. Exactly. So she scheduled it at the same time and in the same city as VidCon was scheduled to take place. And she intended that her convention was an alternative to VidCon. And over 80 creators were set to hold panels at TanaCon, including Bella Thorne, Shane Dawson, Casey Nistat, Miranda Sings, Ricky Dillon, Elijah Daniel, Jen McAllister, Gabby Hanna, Travi Morin, Lisa Schwartz, and Jack Barron.

43:23I know, like, some of these names. I know, I know three of these people. I know, well, Bella Thorne, Shane Dawson, Miranda Sings, Gabby Hanna, yeah. Who's Miranda Sings again? Oh my god, Colleen Ballinger? Ballinger. Is that, hold on, let me backtrack. I don't know. Yeah, it's Colleen Ballinger, and she had that scandal. With a ukulele? With what? The ukulele? Yeah, her apology had a ukulele, but she was, like, being very inappropriate with some of her underage fans. Yeah. See, I never knew about the Ballinger thing, like, ever. I didn't get into it. I just knew the ukulele. Oh, Casey Neistat.

43:59I also kind of—I know who he is, but, like, barely. Yeah, so, you know, Gen Z YouTuber. So the night before the event registered—oh, excuse me. So despite her claims that 20 ,000 people tried to come to the convention, which is a number that was greater than the Marriott, which was the venue that allowed capacity, only like a fraction, like a fifth of those attendees actually showed up or were planning to show up. The night before the event, registration was pushed from 8 a.m. to 6 a.m. So fans were lining up incredibly early outside the Anaheim Marriott Suites, which is right next door to the convention center where VidCon was being held.

44:30But so people were lining up hours before, but people didn't end up getting in until 9 a.m. There were thousands of fans that were stuck waiting in line outside the hotel for hours without food, water, or shelter. And apparently, yeah, it was so, you have this right here, people were passing out and getting sunburned from the heat. It was apparently insanely hot, and they were just in this open parking lot with nowhere to go, and it was just awful. Yeah, and I mean, Anaheim is very close. Like, I grew up going to concerts there. There's nothing really around there. It's just like cement and hotness, and it's not by a beach.

45:02I can imagine just being there for hours on end with no water is like a death sentence. That's really dangerous. The event space hit capacity and all the attendees that were waiting in line were told to come back the next day. And people were very confused because they were like, we paid for these tickets. Why are we not being allowed in? This is day one. People were obviously comparing this to Fyre Festival. Fans were demanding we time. Because this was only a year after Fyre Festival because Fyre Festival was in 2017. 2017, yeah. So this is like a very, maybe not as extreme case, but very similar in terms of like zero planning, zero thought, show up and we'll just figure it out later.

45:38Yeah. The night before the convention, Tana did have like a small meet and greet with fans at a hotel before TanaCon. But like there were no real events actually put on. Like you could tell that this event was thrown together very last minute because, well, it was. Yeah. Later that day, an interview was posted where Tana explains that the hotel event space originally intended to hold 5 ,000 people and that the event initially had sold 4 ,200 tickets. But her team did not anticipate so many extra attendees showing up, let alone an alleged 20 ,000 people, despite the fact that it was billed as a— Wow.

46:08Because I guess they were marketing it as it was a free convention. So even though 4 ,200 tickets were actually sold, so many other fans actually ended up attending, which increased the capacity like five-fold. Like, of course, this is going to be a disaster. And you know what this reminds me of? It reminds me of Astroworld when they had limited security. Even people that were hired at TanaCon, she was like, I do security at like the Queen Mary, which is like a dinner cruise ship. Like, I'm not suited or prepared to be holding security at this huge event where there's 20 ,000 people lining up and we only have capacity for a fifth of that population.

46:42Right. And it just reminds me of Astroworld where people had plans to literally attend without a ticket, knowing that they could easily just storm inside and jump the fence, which, again, creates insane crowding issues, like serious health and safety risks. Even those that actually ended up to go inside the Marriott said there was literally nothing to do. There were barren halls. It was set in a building that was not designed to hold that many people. And someone said, quote, I wasted$150 on TanaCon. It's one hallway, one big concert room, no activities. No creators are walking around like promised.

47:16We stood outside for four hours just to be treated like animals. Others complained that the gift bags, which were only included with the purchase of a VIP ticket and promised to be worth, quote, quadruple the price of the ticket, were laughably sparse, save for a small item like a wristband and condoms branded Tana condoms. So, like, it was literally just a scam, this entire thing. Literally a scam. Literally a fire festival. Yes. and eventually given the original purpose of TanaCon security had to eventually ask people to leave the panels because it became a safety concern and I watched this like behind the scenes video of Tana and Shane Dawson talking and she's sobbing and she's like I didn't mean for this to come out like this I feel so badly for having people that I respect like you Shane come all the way out to Anaheim and be this creator as part of my panels and then this event just turns out to be trash.

48:05And Shane was like so nice to her. And he's like, listen, you actually have put me in a very bad spot. Like I'm now the face as part of this creator event. And now it's being shut down randomly after like one day into it. He's like, this is making me look bad, but I'm going to help you like recover from this. Like he was really trying and she was like shaking from so much stress and anxiety. Like, I can't believe I'm doing this to my fans. I'm so upset. But it's like, what did you expect? What did you expect? Literally one month of planning for a huge event with thousands of people, like you were asking for this to basically just be a total shit show.

48:36Right. She later tweeted that that day that the event would be moved to a new venue just minutes away from the original venue and that it would hold an extra 5 ,000 people and that it would instead be a free show. However, the event was just canceled entirely and this organizer called Good Times announced on Twitter that refunds would be issued on their point of purchase and they said, quote, due to an overwhelming and unexpected response of over 15 ,000 unregistered guests arriving to the venue Friday morning. Unfortunately, inclusivity to everyone became a safety hazard for the exact people we wanted to accommodate.

49:07Our team has worked around the clock to find a solution to accommodate everyone safely and fairly. But at this point in time, there's no way to continue our weekend at TanaCon as is without risking the safety of all of our featured creators, which is our number one priority. Like, what did you expect? I know. It was never going to go any other way. Right. And I think for her, it was more of this like ego thing. like, oh, VidCon isn't going to feature me as one of their creators, like on their panels, and I'm going to do my own thing at the expense of my fans and their safety. And that's as far as she thought it out.

49:38She was like, you know what? I am going to get the best revenge. Right. End of sentence. That was it. I didn't think any further. It's so irresponsible. And she's actually lucky that this ended up being, at the end of the day, people, I don't think anyone got seriously injured or hurt during this. Like, they were pissed they were out some money some time but like fortunately it wasn't something that happened like at astral world where people unfortunately lose their lives for something as luckily luckily but it could have very well ended up like this absolutely and she takes full responsibility in a subsequent interview she said i should have fucking thrown a convention i shouldn't have fucking thrown a convention in two months it was dumb and compulsive compulsive but i wanted to make change in this industry and create a better space it's like no i think you just wanted to show everyone that your thing was better than VidCon.

50:25Yeah, like you don't have to make it like some righteous endeavor. Right, like I'm trying to push creators that aren't, you know. I love how also she's like, I shouldn't have fucking thrown a convention in two months. Like just the way she says it, it's like, yeah, no, you shouldn't have. Right, these things take like a year to plan. Yeah, yeah. Is there any better feeling in the entire world than getting into a clean bed after an amazing relaxing night shower and turning on old Roni?

So let's talk about one of her other scandals during the BLM, like COVID, OnlyFans era in 2020. So during this time, YouTuber Caitlin Barry and singer Nessa Biella alleged Tana participated in cultural appropriation and was racially insensitive. For example, she wore hairstyles traditionally associated with Black culture. And you have to remember, like, during this time, creators were getting canceled left, right, and center.

56:02Like, I think of Jenna Marbles, for instance, who self-canceled. She's like, listen, I know you've all seen the video. I know what I did, and I'm just going to basically, like, you'll never see me again kind of thing. Yeah, and we still haven't seen her again. Yeah. And like what she did was incredibly, incredibly. Didn't she do blackface Jenna Marbles? I honestly don't remember, but that sounds familiar. Yeah. Yep. Yes. Yeah. She did like a skit where she literally blackfaced herself. Yeah. Yeah. So incredibly problematic. Tana didn't go as far as blackfacing with makeup, but she has tweets that have resurfaced of her calling people black people cotton pickers.

56:44And she says, I have a puzzle for you. And it says, Amari equals dash IG dash ER. Like fill in the blanks. She's calling him the ends. Oh, my God. Then she goes, Amari Stewart, text me back or go back to plantation. And someone goes, LOL, we all know the truth. Don't flatter yourself. I wasn't obsessed. We not. I don't know. Someone was like talking to her and being mean or whatever. And she goes, what hurt more? This flame or when you were thrown over the border, you Cuban piece of shit. Oh, my God. Just like violent language. She's violent. She, I hate to use this word, but she's kind of like trashy.

57:18Do you know what I mean? Like, I think I don't mean that. And like, but like when you're saying these things, that makes you trashy. You know what I mean? Like that's that's just. Oh, it's it's gross. Like, you don't say that. Cotton picker. Who even talks like that? No. Like, that's so disgusting. Agreed. In May 2020, that same year, she joined OnlyFans and she goes, listen, if I'm drunk and throwing a party and wearing a see-through shirt, I might as well monetize on that. And she said that she earned several million dollars from being an OnlyFans creator. She has claimed to have earned over six million dollars from the platform and has showcased her top earner trophy, indicating earnings exceeded 10 million dollars.

57:55Wow. And she even admits on Not Skinny But Not Fat, she's like, during my OnlyFans era, I was wilding out, like, when I was, in terms of spending. She's like, I would fly private constantly. Like, Jesus Christ. Should we do that? For the snarkbait shows, should we fly private? Should we? No, should we, I guess, start an OnlyFans? You know what? What would we even do? As you guys know, I have never flown private. It is like a lifelong goal of mine to fly private. If that's what I have to do to finally be able to get on a private jet, on a PJ, I'm not a bummer. Back in the day, I was like, I'll pretty much do anything for 20 bucks, you know?

58:31Yeah, I mean, it's crazy how much. And honestly, it's like, go women, you know? Go women. Like, it's so hard to earn a buck out here. However, you want to do it in a way that's safe for you. I respect it. You go, girl. I'm not flying private. Like, you got the last laugh, Tana. Absolutely. You get it. She was criticized, however, from OnlyFans subscribers that her content lacked the explicit nature that she had promised. And I feel like a lot of famous, quote-unquote famous people that are on OnlyFans as well. Like, I think we did an episode on Harry Jowsey. I think he was also false of advertising content that never actually was there to begin with.

59:07She was basically exploiting her fan base, people thought. She was also doing a lot of problematic things during the pandemic, like attending big parties at the height of COVID, songs, face masks. Oh, my God. This was so annoying. We were all stuck inside, and we were seeing, like, the Kardashians and all of these celebrities, like, partying like it was normal on, like, their private islands. With the health in the background wearing face masks. Right. And I remember specifically in L.A., like, the Hype House boys would be throwing parties left, right, and center, like, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

59:36and tana issued an apology in a video titled i'm sorry but critics called it insincere and performative especially after she had already posted a video where she said we don't fucking care about covet 19 she later deleted the clip like she just puts her foot in her mouth all the constantly yeah she also has done a little bit of angel like angel agency work remember when we talked about ashley benson potentially being like a like kind of like a madam yes why did i say it like that a madam i said i'm a dom i didn't know if i could say like the p word is that i don't know if we can say that what p word i don't know what you heard about me but you can't get another out of me i don't know i know honey can't wait what what p word because i'm a motherfucking oh yeah i am p yeah like is that can you say that i don't know i i don't know um i felt like i wouldn't categorize that as what ashley was doing we talked about ashley basically dming creators on social media and saying, hey, I can help you get more work and let's really ramp up your content.

1:00:39Like, it seems like it's kind of like, I don't know, maybe it is kind of pimping them out. I don't know. It's like scammy MLME a little bit. Like I think of like podcast networks, they help you acquire ads for your show. It's like Ashley Benson and maybe Tanner were helping to acquire more work for these only fan creators that they will quote unquote manage. But I don't think they were doing much of any managing. That was the allegation against Ashley Benson. Right. And it feels like exploitative. Exactly. And so this agency that she created faced allegations of pressuring creators to produce more explicit content that they initially agreed upon.

1:01:11They also claimed wage theft, threatening legal action against those who wish to leave and they didn't want them to leave. It just seemed like all around just kind of like that. Meanwhile, Tana wasn't like posting explicit enough content, but she was like, you guys should. Right. And let me take a brief share of that. You know what that kind of reminds me of? But like it's a way this is obviously so different. But like Alex Cooper now is like, I'm married and classy and rich. So I'm not going to talk about my clit, my asshole anymore. But that's what you're for, Hallie Batchelder. Hallie Batchelder, let's talk about how you got hooked up with Wes Wilson.

1:01:45Butt-fogged by Wes Wilson. Yes, thank you. I didn't want to say it, but yes. I'm like so scared of what to say because I'm like terrified. But like, yes, you know, yes. Like Alex Cooper lets everyone take it on. Like she takes everything on the chin. And like they all she everyone carries the Unwell Network on their own back. We just talked about the Unwell Network on Dark Energy Tuesday. But yeah, that's kind of like a very, you know, different version of this. But it kind of reminds me of that. Yeah, that's exactly what this is. It's like exploitative. And for all the hard work you're going to do, I'm also going to take X percent of it.

1:02:17And I'm going to continue to build my my bank, like my bank account. So let's talk about the Cody Coe allegations. um so as i mentioned she said she was 17 when he was 25 when he slept with her or it was statutory rape and during the canceled podcast she said that she slept with cody when she was 17 in response to a question from an audience member when they were doing one of their live shows and initially this kind of flew under the radar people kind of heard it they like ignored it but a youtuber named And D 'Angelo Wallace amplified this claim made by Tana in July 2024, calling for Cody to please address it via a YouTube video.

1:02:56And D 'Angelo Wallace brought the issue to wider attention when he posted a video titled, quote, an uncomfortable conversation about Cody Ko to his channel. In this video, it received over two million views in less than a week. And Wallace called on his viewers to take Tana's claim seriously and to not let it be an open secret and swept under the rug. And D 'Angelo Wallace, he's like, listen, I get that Tana has a history of being an unlikable character on the Internet. I get she said problematic thing, but it doesn't excuse people from mistreating her or refusing to believe her story. He said that Tana has been met with the most vitriolic victim blaming that I've seen in years.

1:03:28Because, of course, when these allegations came up by Tana, people were like putting her down. Like, no, this isn't true. We stand with Cody. And D 'Angelo Wallace is like, whatever you fucking say about her, we have to believe this woman. Like, she wouldn't make this up. She can't be dismissed, discredited, and disbelieved before anyone gave her a chance just because she is who she is. Yeah. And I listened to an episode from Canceled where Tana talks about this. And she got really emotional. I did feel very badly for her. And she said that because of my history, I get that people feel a certain way about me.

1:03:57But I was almost reduced to, like, my allegation not mattering just because I am Tana. So if I were another creator who didn't have my history of being a problematic, crazy person on the Internet, they would take this claim seriously. But because I am who I am, who I am doesn't matter. Like, I just felt like non-human. Which is super sad because it's like, even though you've done and said horrible things, we're not taking that away from Tana. She also deserves to be believed as a victim of sexual assault, of statutory rape. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and she's like, I feel like I was taken advantage of.

1:04:27And she says, after it started going viral, seeing so many people not believing me, being like, it's Tana, so who cares? I started feeling badly for so many other girls who maybe look up to me and want to speak their truth and see the way that people just don't believe people. And she said that she felt Cody's widespread popularity protected him at her expense. She said, quote, I know for a fact if you swapped out Cody Ko with someone that people didn't like that much, I would be receiving so much more sympathy versus the amount of people in this industry who want to protect Cody. That's really sad.

1:04:54I feel like we live in like, especially in this day and age, everything is like so black and white. And I feel like we talked about this a little bit on Dark Energy Tuesday about Timothee Chalamet and how it always feels like we're living in like a hamster wheel of people like finding someone else to hate and saying they deserve everything that happens to them. They could like, God forbid, die tomorrow. And that's that would be what they deserve. Exactly. It's deserved. Yep. It's it's like so they're like this person is so evil. And it's like, meanwhile, you on the Internet who are tweeting death threats at like a celebrity, you're a good person.

1:05:29Like, I feel like even though Tana is obviously extremely flawed, to say the least, extremely imperfect, that does not mean that she deserves to be raped. Right. But there are some people on the Internet who would say that she does. Absolutely. And it seems like they came out in waves when these allegations came out. Like, it's horrible. And you have to imagine her. It's like when these things happen, you feel not only is that like a traumatic experience, but almost like you have to relive it. And it makes you feel even worse by yourself. like worse than you already did when it happened it's just like trauma really like yeah i wouldn't wish that on anyone like it's horrible horrible and i'm glad that she kind of came up and and said like people just don't care because it's don't worry it's just tana like yeah it's fine she's just a trash human anyways like she deserves it it's just horrible so sad so most notably like we mentioned up top august 2024 the brooke scofield racist tweets come up and brooke scofield she is but also an LA-based influencer.

1:06:28She started, canceled with Tana in 2021, and she came under fire after her old tweet circulated. It included homophobic language, support for President Donald Trump, and defending the actions of George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012. Oh my God. One tweet originally posted in 2020 sparked particular outrage against Brooke, where it read, Guarantee if Zimmerman shot a white guy, this wouldn't even be a story. newsflash this wasn't a crime of racism it was a self it was self-defense and tana had to take a step back and publicly call brooke out for her tweet she's like this is fucked up it's horrific and she was seriously deciding removing brooke as her co-host after these tweets resurfaced and brooke obviously was like under a lot of pressure and she decided to make an apology video for all the tweets and she donated to the trayvon martin foundation which to me is such a like it feels very performative yeah it's just like oh i'm sorry i'm also going to donate to the trayvon martin foundation i i just want to flag i just because it sounded weird that you would tweet this in 2020 she actually tweeted that in 2013 the guarantee of zimmer and shadow walk a white guy it doesn't make a difference either way but it wasn't as recent as 2020 that's a good call out so it came up seven seven years later it resurfaced and people called attention to it no thank you for calling that out so tana obviously when kind of calling per co-host out for saying this she's like listen, I know I have my own racist tweets and posts from 2013 and 2014.

1:07:55You can look them up. And she's like, I've previously apologized for it. And she's like, I'm more than happy to apologize until the day I die. She said, quote, on June 22nd, 2020, I refuse to be as ignorant as I've been in the past for life. I will take that and make it all the more reason to fight to educate others now. I know who I am inside and I know where my morals lie. I am forever sorry for things I've said in the past, but I know I'm not that person now. But basically, like, I think Tana wanted to distance herself as much as possible, Well, but it's a little tough when also you were under fire for the same types of tweets in the same time period.

1:08:26Like, you guys are guilty of the same thing. It's just when do they come and race to the surface? Yeah. Just different times. Exactly. So in 2020, obviously, people were more outraged than they were when Tana's tweets surfaced. I'm not saying Brooks are any worse than Tana's. I'm just saying that the public outrage against creators were far more aggressive in 2020 than they were a couple years prior to that. Yeah. So after the scandal, things were in complete disarray for the canceled podcast because people had a lot of speculation about what does this mean for the two of them? Like, how do they proceed?

1:08:58They have a business together, they're friends, but it's clear that they differ on how this should have been approached. So a lot of speculation after Brooke's racist tweets surfaced was that Brooke wanted to get ahead of it and speak on it and address it head on. And Tana in the back was telling her, just sweep it under the rug. Don't talk about it. People are going to get over it. And Tana also probably, people speculate, maybe had a lot of resentment because Brooke's tweets, although they happened and were written many years ago, they resurfaced at like the biggest point of their podcast success.

1:09:28She's like, you're at the top of our game right now and you're fucking this up. I mean, it's so true. That podcast was everywhere. Oh, it was viral everywhere. It didn't even matter if you didn't know who they were. It was always so good for me. Their marketing SEO was good. Yeah, it was. And I remember when Brooke Schofield was telling a story about Matt Reif shaming her for her vagina. That was when I first discovered them. And I was like, oh, my God, that's actually awesome that she's exposing Matt Reif. I was like, this is actually really cool. Yeah. And they had like very high production quality.

1:10:02Like they were everywhere. Yeah. Like I didn't watch it, but everything I came across was juicy. Like I was like, oh, this is good clickbait. Like I'm saying because I'm going to watch this full clip. Yep. They knew exactly what they were doing. And I think Tana obviously given her history with YouTube and being online, like she knew exactly what would hit. And people also thought like, listen, Brooke is famous in her own right, but like she's clearly biting Tana's coattails. And I came across a clip when they realized that they were actually going to end the pod for good. And Hannah was like, oh, my God, when this podcast goes under and we're not doing it anymore, like, what do I do with all the videos?

1:10:34Do I just delete the whole catalog for my channel? And Brooke was like, why? It was kind of awkward. They were both in the studio. And Brooke was like, why would you do that? I still need some of the money from AdSense because when you play videos on YouTube, you collect some money. It's not material. I mean, probably for them, it was very material. But Brooke was like, what do you mean you want to do that? Like, I still want to collect money from AdSense. And Tana didn't seem like she was, like, down to split it. Because Tana, again, felt like she was the reason why Brooke was as famous as she was.

1:11:00That's an awkward conversation to, like, have on mic. I completely agree. How did they originally—do you know how they originally became friends? I don't know that. But I would imagine it's because they were running in the same circles. How did Brooke and Tana become friends? It sounds like—yeah, it sounds like they ran in the same circles. Yeah, okay. Okay, so Karatek just kind of pushes. Oh, I found a little explanation. Okay, this is from Reddit. It says, Tana just told this story. I think it's from the most recent podcast. This is from two years ago, emotional underscore rap underscore four nine five four on Reddit said, Brooke came up to her at a party and they hit it off.

1:11:37Brooke could have been hanging around Tana's friends more and more. And eventually they got to be good friends themselves. Then when she was like for co-host for canceled, she thought Brooke would be perfect because she's a great conversationalist. So it sounds like, yeah, they just had mutual friends and were at the same parties. Got it. I wasn't sure if like Brooke was like a super fan stalker before because I feel like some people. Yeah. Well, Stassi Baby was a super fan of Kylie. It was like a joke, I think, where people thought that's how it happened. But I think she dispelled that on Call Her Daddy.

1:12:05I feel like if you're like the sidekick of a major celebrity, I feel like you're always going to get accused of like being like a stalker, fangirl, like hanger on. 100 that would be me just so like i would 100 if i was a celebrity if you have the opportunity to hang on a celebrity yeah i thought i just thought because stassi baby and kylie had been friends for so long but also kylie has been famous for so long but like stassi baby could have been a 12 year old clout chaser she was literally 12 and she was like i know what i have to do and she was right she changed the trajectory of her life she did and now she's professionally kylie's best friend yeah so it was victoria villarella or whatever yeah who was like her assistant yeah i think she was imagine being the assistant to like an a-list celebrity and then just like becoming best friends with them it's like steph shop steph shop yeah tbt when she when didn't kim like no she quit kim didn't fire her well yeah i remember this because steph was like growing out of her role yeah i remember that too oh my god we know too much i know oh my god so much like space in my brain so i know it's like wait i don't know how to fucking activate a business card but i know why steph-step left the kardashian enterprise and we know every true crime in the book too yeah which by the way yesterday this is like not like funny but we did an episode about charlotte nash who was a woman who was attacked by the chimpanzee that was a domesticated animal of her friend yeah sandra it's a crazy story patreon.com slash not a paperhub he took us through it it's like more disturbing than i remember trigger warning if you're gonna listen to that one it's like really graphic what we went through though like watch listen with discretion and like caution very much listen with discretion but yeah huge different topic than what we're covering now yeah um but okay as we're gonna end this one other thing this is like random in september 2024 people were accusing her of committing an electoral crime.

1:14:08So she had revealed she had been offered millions to endorse a specific presidential candidate, implying that it was the Trump campaign, but she denied it. And on an episode of the podcast, Tana revealed that she was offered whatever you want, quote, to promote an unnamed cryptocurrency. By the way, what is cryptocurrency? You tell me. I don't know. You tell me. I'm such a conservative investor. Like, I don't do any of those fancy things. We should have HOTP come on and explain it to us. Yeah, like that's a big question mark for me. We actually should do like a Patreon with HOTP. Oh, I'm so down.

1:14:44He's like, so this is what it's all about. Bitcoin. Let's get into it. Yeah, literally. I'm like, I don't know anything. Yeah. But she said she was offered millions to endorse a specific candidate. And she. OK, and then Brooke asked, is it the candidate that you identify with? And Tana said no. Then I was being allegedly told an alleged list of other influencers that have already hypothetically accepted money to do these hypothetical things that were hypothetically offered to me to hypothetically do. She's basically implying that Trump was like paying all these influencers to endorse him in the 2024 election.

1:15:16I 100 % believe that. I also, but like the cryptocurrency thing, like it reminds me of when Alex Cooper told a story. Alex Cooper always comes back to her. When she told a story where she was like, I turned down a multi-million dollar deal. From Anton. Because it just, it wasn't something that my fan base would believe that I would endorse. She's so annoying. But like, I feel like when influencers or whoever it is, podcasters say that, it's like, what do you want? A pat on the back. Like, oh my God, you turned down millions of dollars. Like, okay, cool. You have more, you have so much money in the bank, Alex Cooper, that you are in the position to like reject a million dollar.

1:15:55Yeah. And I want to pat on the back. Like, I also feel like, yeah, yeah. And it's also like they're trying to like posture where it's like, oh, my God, I'm just so righteous that like I only endorse things that I believe in that align with my values. It's like, do you want like some sort of like award for that? Like, it just seems so self aggrandizing. I don't know. I just I hate when people talk like this. No, I agree. And I think that's the difference between old money and new money because old money, like people that are generationally wealthy do not want anyone to know. They are so covert about it.

1:16:25They always downplay it because they don't want people to take advantage or steal from them or put them into a position that could be in danger. Like if people were to know that you had money versus new money, they're like shutting it from the rooftops like Alex Cooper. Yeah. So Tana said that she is 100 percent a Democrat and she had publicly endorsed Kamala Harris after Brooke was caught in her controversy, which included, again, liking a post of an influencer posting with Donald Trump. But she endorsed Joe Biden, she admitted in 2020 and the 2020 election, claiming that she would exchange nudes with fans for proof that they voted for a Democrat and an only fans campaign that she called booty for Biden.

1:16:59Oh, my God. That's so that's like so funny, but it's like not legal. She can't do this. So according to Cornell University. Oh, so that's what they're saying is like a crime. Yeah. They're like, she may have broken a few rules in her bid to encourage voting. The university noted that making any offer to exchange something for a vote is considered an electoral crime, saying whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person either to vote or withhold his vote or to vote for any vote for or against any candidate can be fined and faced up to two years in prison. I just thought the booty for Biden thing is so funny.

1:17:31It's silly. It's like it's it's funny. it's kitschy like she's losing her shit and i'm like is it that funny though no like i don't know why it's so funny booty for biden um i mean that makes sense that that would be like a crime i guess yeah yeah like you can't pay for vote you're like paying people to vote yeah yeah yeah yeah totally that makes sense but like i i don't paying with like nudes basically yeah but that's it on tana mojo i feel like my like softness for her was not it's not understood through this outline and through these notes. But like if you watch her and listen to her, I think it's just more her demeanor.

1:18:08I feel like she's grown up a lot. She's gone through a lot and she's been through a lot. And I think she had to grow up really fast. And I think people that kind of had a shitty hand at life and that kind of make lemonade out of lemons, whatever the expression is, like you have to respect that. And for someone who's like really trying to change and do better for themselves, despite like not having the right structure to become anything really. Yeah. And I also don't want to play into the culture that we have now where everything is black and white and like people are inherently either good or evil because she has done some really really really disgusting things specifically the racist comments that again we're very violent language yeah um are people incapable of redemption and change i don't think so i think that people can change and get better and if we don't allow room for growth and redemption then like what is the point should we like send everyone to Siberia.

1:19:00Like, I don't know. I just, I feel like with, I don't feel strongly about her either way. I think she clearly has fucked up a lot, but it also does seem like she has made strides in becoming a better person. So it's like, can I really hate on that? I don't know. What do you guys think? What are your thoughts? Again, I kind of went into this blind. I really did not know a whole lot about her. But yeah, my impression of her is that she has done a lot of fucked up shit, but it seems like she is on the road. to becoming to healing yeah so yeah let us know you guys what you guys's thoughts are on tana or any other youtube people that you guys like your roman empire because again youtube in general is a blind spot for sophie and i so we hope that we did tana enough justice but other than that all the links subsec live shows instagrams my instagram sophie snarkbait pods instagram patreon all that is in our show notes yeah sophie does a great job sophie and rachel do a great job on on Instagram.

Is there any better feeling in the entire world than getting into a clean bed after an amazing relaxing night shower and turning on old roni? No. And as I've gotten older, I've realized luxury bedding is something you truly don't appreciate until you sleep in it.

I love our Percale gingham duvet cover and how chic and soft it is. I literally feel like I'm crawling into a hotel bed every night, but for a fraction of the cost of other luxury bedding.
