In the video, she describes an encounter where a person on her tour (later revealed to be YouTuber iDubbbz) told her "say nigger", in response to a tweet posted by Mongeau to iDubbbz, telling him to kill himself for his comedic use of the word in his YouTube videos. In May 2023, iDubbbz released a video apologizing for his past actions, which included a direct apology to Mongeau for his actions towards her. TanaCon On May 26, 2018, Mongeau announced that she would be hosting her own convention, named TanaCon, from June 22 to 23, 2018, in Anaheim, California. This was a reaction to Vidcon 2017 organizers declining to give Mongeau the rights of a "featured creator" at their event. Mongeau scheduled TanaCon at the same time and in the same city as VidCon 2018, and intended her convention to be an alternative to it. TanaCon was organized in collaboration with actor and producer Michael Weist. The convention began at the Anaheim Marriott Suites on June 22, but was canceled the same day. Over 80 creators were set to hold panels at the event, including Bella Thorne, Shane Dawson, Casey Neistat, Miranda Sings, Ricky Dillon, Elijah Daniel, Jenn McAllister, Gabbie Hanna, Trevi Moran, Lisa Schwartz, and Jack Baran. Despite Mongeau's claims that 20,000 people tried to come to the convention – a number greater than the Marriott's capacity – only 4,000 to 5,000 attended. Those who attended or lined up to do so complained of a lack of food and water and of standing for hours in the sun. It was reported that many people were sunburned and that some passed out because of the heat. Mongeau later apologized and said that refunds would be issued. Shortly after TanaCon, Dawson released on YouTube a three-part documentary series examining the failure of the event. In May 2019, VidCon said that Mongeau would be a featured creator at the convention due to VidCon cofounder Hank Green in 2018 having expressed regrets and stating that he had "100% screwed up" in not inviting Mongeau to VidCon 2017 as a featured creator. Brooke Schofield Tweets In August 2024, Cancelled co-host Brooke Schofield came under fire for numerous screenshots of resurfaced tweets. A post depicting her thoughts on the killing of Trayvon Martin in 2020 was at the center of controversy, reading, "Guarantee if Zimmerman shot a white guy this wouldn't even be a story. NEWS FLASH THIS WASN'T A CRIME OF RACISM IT WAS SELF DEFENSE". Mongeau called Schofield's posts "fucked-up" and "horrific", but she did not remove her as co-host. She also announced she would donate proceeds from the podcast and her TikTok content to the Trayvon Martin Foundation. ==Personal life==

Mongeau is openly bisexual. At the start of her YouTube career, she was in a relationship with Somer Hollingsworth, featuring him in many of her vlogs before the couple broke up in June 2017. After that, Mongeau was in a relationship with Bella Thorne from the summer of 2017 to February 2019, including a period in which she, Thorne, and singer Mod Sun were a throuple. Mongeau began dating social media personality Jake Paul in April 2019. In June 2019, the couple announced that they were engaged, although many fans and commentators did not believe that the engagement was legitimate. On July 28 of that year, Paul and Mongeau exchanged vows in Las Vegas. InTouch later reported that the couple had not obtained a marriage license prior to the ceremony and that the officiant was also not licensed by the state of Nevada. As a result, the marriage was not legally binding. BuzzFeed reported that Paul and Mongeau left the ceremony separately. The ceremony, which was available on pay-per-view for $50, In May 2024, Mongeau stated on Cancelled that she and Canadian YouTuber Cody Ko had had sex when she was 17 and he was 25, which would be illegal under Florida law since sex between someone who is under 18 and someone who is over 24 would be categorized as statutory rape. The allegations gained attention upon being covered by YouTuber D'Angelo Wallace in July, with no immediate comment on the accusation by Ko. Ko stepped down from day-to-day operations at his comedy podcast network Tiny Meat Gang Studios, and his YouTube channel lost 250,000 subscribers in 30 days. ==Discography==
