The event was a vibrant showcase of Mongeau's entrepreneurial spirit and her commitment to offering a unique wine experience tailored to the preferences of the younger generation.

Tana Mongeau has also ventured into the business realm by partnering with Unruly Agency to establish a new influencer management division within the company.

Taking charge of the TAA division, short for Tana's Angels Agency, Mongeau assumed this role after previously joining Unruly Agency as one of its social media personalities a few years ago.

She expressed her motivation behind this move, stating, "Throughout my career I’ve been taken advantage of more times than I can count.

Relationships

Mongeau openly identifies as bisexual. During the early stages of her YouTube journey, she was romantically involved with Somer Hollingsworth, who made frequent appearances in her vlogs before their relationship came to an end in June 2017. Subsequently, from the summer of 2017 until February 2019, Mongeau was in a relationship with Bella Thorne. This period included a unique dynamic known as a "throuple," involving Mongeau, Thorne, and singer Mod Sun.

In April 2019, Mongeau embarked on a relationship with social media personality Jake Paul. The couple made headlines in June 2019 when they announced their engagement, although skepticism about the authenticity of the engagement arose among fans and commentators. On July 28 of the same year, Paul and Mongeau held a ceremony in Las Vegas. It later came to light that they had not obtained a marriage license beforehand, rendering the marriage legally non-binding.

Media outlets reported that the officiant was also not licensed by the state of Nevada.

Controversies

TanaCon Convention

On May 26, 2018, Tana Mongeau made a significant announcement regarding her own convention, TanaCon. TanaCon is inspired by Mongeau’s self-professed dislike of VidCon. VidCon is an annual YouTube-centric convention organized by brothers and YouTube royals Hank and John Green. This is because Tana Mongeau was denied the "featured creator" status by VidCon.

TanaCon was initially set to unfold at the Anaheim Marriott Suites in Anaheim, California on June 22, 2018. But unfortunately, it was abruptly canceled on the very same day for overcrowding issues. The event boasted an impressive line up of over 80 creators, including popular YouTubers like Bella Thorne, Shane Dawson, Casey Neistat, Miranda Sings, Ricky Dillion, Elijah Daniel, Jenn McAllister, Gabbie Hanna, Trevi Moran, Lisa Schwartz, and Jack Baran. Unfortunately, attendees faced issues like inadequate provisions of food, water and prolonged exposure to the sun, leading to comparisons with the infamous Fyre Festival.

Shane Dawson, who participated, shared his regrets and dubbing it as the "worst decision" he had ever made. He even released a three-part documentary style YouTube series featuring the various perspectives on the event, shedding light on the complexities surrounding TanaCon, a collaborative effort between Mongeau and actor-producer, Michael Weist.

In response to mass criticism and uproar, Mongeau issued apologies and issued refunds.

iDubbbz and Tana Meet-up

On December 10, 2016, Mongeau took to Twitter to criticize iDubbbzTV for his frequent use of the N-word and derogatory language in his videos. Her tweet directly addressed iDubbbz, saying, "@Idubbbz so 3 million ppl subscribe to u and u openly say the n-word and retard???? kill yourself." Mongeau continued to express her disapproval of iDubbbz in her livestreams and other video content.

In response to her criticisms, iDubbbz purchased a VIP ticket to one of Mongeau's live shows in San Francisco. On January 21, 2017, he attended the event. During the VIP meet-and-greet, while taking a photo with Mongeau, iDubbbz controversially said, "Say ni**er!" This remark triggered outrage among onlookers and Mongeau left the area. Security subsequently requested that iDubbbz depart from the event, which he complied with.

Content Cop

On February 6, 2017, iDubbbz released a video titled "Content Cop - Tana Mongeau" as part of his Content Cop series. In this video, he addressed the controversy surrounding his use of the N-Word and accused Mongeau of hypocrisy by showcasing past instances of her using the same word. iDubbbz argued that his use of the word was within a comedic context and not intended to offend, while he characterized Mongeau's use of it as "mean-spirited." Within the video, iDubbbz also presented footage from the incident at Mongeau's show and critiqued her response to it. Additionally, he delved into the broader context of derogatory terms and explored society's perception of specific words in terms of their offensiveness.

Wine Tour
