Josh Richards and his fellow BFFs podcast cohosts revealed their deep and utterly serious respect for Tana Mongeau on this week's episode. Her ability to instigate publicity at a moment's notice, multiple times in a day is mind-blowing.
She lives for the clout, much more so after her relationship with Jake Paul. The Barstool crew discussed how they can't understand how she has time for it all.
Publicity Queen
"This girl I have so much respect for her," David Portnoy exclaimed as Bri LaPaglia agreed, "She can be with me right now in a video and then five minutes later in LA, in a different video."
the OG storytime YouTuber has kept her social media presence fresh and alive, despite numerous scandals. Instead of allowing herself to get canceled from moments like TanaCon, she's honed into the mentality that any press is good press.
Within the last 24 hours, she posted a photo of herself with headlines covering the background with risky and provocative catchphrases. She knows how to sell a story, especially ones with the utmost amount of controversy.
Josh Richards noted that this aspect of Mongeau's personality is one to admire, "I've never met somebody that seizes the opportunity of clout better than she does." There you have it, Mongeau's the best of the best.
She revels in Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag's energy, something that knows the business behind seemingly erratic behavior. She signs brand collaborations, pays for friends' vacations, and keeps her name in everyone's mouths. It's a game of chess.
Fighting Bella Thorne
In one of her most recent tabloid headlines, Mongeau claimed that she was offered $10,000,000 to fight her ex-girlfriend Bella Thorne. She's aired their dirty laundry before, as Thorne has in an awkward music video.
Slapp the word "million" to a bit of drama, and that already gets ears perked up to listen. We're team Tana out here, on God. If that sounds out of left field, check TikTok for the OnlyFans creator's trending sound byte regarding the Bryce Hall fight.
She even claimed that she'd stop smoking weed and get sober to prepare for the fight if Thorne was willing to join.
Influencer boxing is the next on-brand move, like podcasting has been for the past few years. We just don't know how seriously these social media stars are taking the sport.
