Tana Mongeau Early Life
Mongeau was born and raised in Las Vegas. She has described her upbringing as poor and dysfunctional. She has spoken openly about being raised in an unhealthy environment where drugs and alcohol were rampant.
She has said that she was followed by a stalker when she was just a child. In a series of YouTube videos, she told her viewers that the stalker had been released from prison and wondered if he would be able to find her.
Mongeau began posting YouTube videos in 2017. Her first famous video, “The N Word,” was an angry response to a popular YouTuber who consistently used a racial slur in his comedy routines.

Recording Career
In November 2017, she released the single “Hefner.” The video for the song featured the actress Bella Thorne.
Mongeau also recorded the song “Deadahh” with Lil Phag and Dr. Woke. In 2018, she released the singles “W” and “F**k Up.”
TanaCon
In 2018, Mongeau was slated to appear at the VidCon gathering of YouTube performers. The annual convention brings together YouTube stars and fans in a huge, two-day event.
In a video, Mongeau explained that she had not enjoyed her experience at the 2017 VidCon and would be hosting her own, an alternative convention called TanaCon right next door and at the same time.
The event drew 20,000 people to a convention hall that was only designed to hold 5000. In addition, Mongeau had failed to properly organize the convention and the registration process, leading to thousands of people waiting in line for a hotel for hours to register, without food, water or any shelter from the elements. The few people who did get in blasted it as a boring, empty convention with nothing to do.

The overflow conditions caused security officials to shut the whole thing down the next day. The disastrous event got so much bad publicity that many YouTube fans were calling it the VidCon equivalent of the “Fyre festival” that was the subject of an HBO documentary.
Afterward, Mongeau apologized to her fans and said, “I take full responsibility. I shouldn’t have thrown a convention in two months. It was dumb and compulsive, but I wanted to make change in this industry and create a better space.”
Famous YouTuber Shane Dawson later produced a three-part documentary about the TanaCon debacle that he posted to his own channel.

A few months later, Thorne and Mongeau were seen spending time together in public. Both insisted that they were not getting back together but were just good friends.
In May 2019, Mongeau and singer Noah Cyrus exchanged a series of twitter posts about the singer Lil Xan. Mongeau had a brief relationship with the young rapper.
Cyrus had also dated him and had chronicled their breakup and his subsequent marriage to a new, pregnant girlfriend in excruciating detail.
The flare-up between Cyrus and Mongeau started when Mongeau claimed that Cyrus was rude to her when they met each other at the 2018 MTV Awards show.
Mongeau posted a 40-minute video to her channel where she described talking with the singer while Cyrus watched.
She complained that Cyrus hated her because she was being friendly with Lil Xan, saying, “I hear from a bunch of other people that she just, like, hates me. It hurt. It still hurts.”
In response, Cyrus tweeted back that Mongeau had misread the situation and that there were no hard feelings between them.
In 2019, Mongeau dated fellow YouTuber Brad Sousa for about six months. She broke up with him after discovering that he had been exchanging erotic pictures with other women.
