As new episodes of Tana Mongeau’s MTV reality show drop on YouTube, the backlash at Tana
has continued to pour in.
And while usually Tana isn’t bothered by haters, she just called out MTV for editing
the videos in a way to make her look bad.
What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News bringing you all the news updates from my
at-home Clevver studio and Tana Mongeau’s MTV show No Filter has been dropping new episodes
on YouTube every week, and it seems like every week Tana also has been getting a lot of heat
for how she acts in the show.
Just last week, viewers criticized her for how she was handling her asthma diagnosis.
Tana went to a lung specialist and had a variety of tests done due to her severe coughing,
but she was pretty dismissive of her manager Jordan when he was trying to help her get
the info she needed from the doctor.
And once it was time to leave the doctor’s office, it was clear Tana wasn’t too worried
about her asthma diagnosis.
Fans took to Twitter to share their stories with asthma to warn Tana that it can be more
serious than she might think, especially with everything going on in the world right now.
One person said quote, “As someone that has had asthma all my life I get that it’s
scary and some days you don’t want to deal with it but you need to.
I remember fighting my parents about not wanting to use my inhaler but I was 6 not 21..”
Another said quote, “That mtv episode hurt me and probably a lot of people who have asthma
and think it’s not that serious when people die from it and I almost died from an asthma
attack when I was 4, Tana I hope you know me and a bunch of people care for your health
and you need to take it seriously”
And another even wrote quote, “Asthma is serious.
My best friend died because of an asthma attack.
She stopped getting the amount of oxygen she needed and she died.
It was a 13 day process of us praying and hoping that she would be okay but she wasnt.
Its serious and you need to take it more serious.”
But this week the backlash reached new heights when in the MTV show, Tana was seen partying
and drinking around her friend Trevor Moran, who is a recovering alcoholic.
In the episode Trevor discusses with the rest of the friends how he relapsed and how hard
it is to detox.
And later in the episode, when the girls planned a girls night out, Tana Mongeau didn’t invite
Trevor.
But their friend Ashly Schwan did reach out to Trevor with an invite.
Having the support group of friends around sounded like a very good idea to Trevor, so
he went.
At the party, Tana and her friends drank champagne and kept pouring shots, while Trevor was sitting
there getting uncomfortable.
Tana explained why she decided to drink at this GNO.
But it eventually got to be too much for Trevor so he got up and left before the party was
over.
And obviously, this scene received A LOT of backlash, fans were slamming Tana on Twitter.
One person said quote, “Tana is literally the worst friend to Trevor, y’all couldn’t
idk STAY HOME watch a movie, bake some cookies NO y’all have to go get f**cked up knowing
your “best friend” is struggling with sobriety, shame on you @tanamongeau what is
wrong with you?
#tanamongeau”
Another wrote quote, “Trevor needs to get a more supportive group of friends.
How could you act this way when you know someone has a drinking problem and has been to rehab
to combat it”
And another said quote, “Trevor do yourself and remove yourself from this toxic friend
group!”
But Tana doesn’t take all the blame for this one, she called out MTV for editing the
episode in an insensitive way.
Tana says that there’s more to the story and she never meant to upset Trevor or put
him in an uncomfortable position, though the episode showed the opposite.
Tana took to Twitter and shared a rant on what really went down, tried to clarify the
situation, and explained how hurt she was by the editing.
She started by saying quote, “although i will discuss more things at length in an upcoming
video- i wanna clarify one thing rn. i have cared about @TrevorMoran and his recovery
more than anything in the world & have done EVERYTHING in my power to be there for him.
F**K waking up to an edit of ANYTHING that “makes it look like i didn’t. even in
my DARKEST times shooting the show there was never a point where i’d encourage trevor
to fall of the path or not be there for him in the best way i knew possible.
jesus i’m so upset rn at that... i just got un-upset at last weeks bullshit”
And she finished this bit of the thread by saying quote, “i care about everyone’s
health & always have.
recovery & addiction are two things i’m VERY passionate about as they are two things
i’ve dealt with very seriously.
i was never discrediting asthma.
i was never discrediting the importance of health.
i can’t believe i have to say this”
She then blamed MTV for trimming down hours and hours of footage down to this short episode.
Tana said quote, “i’d so much rather be hated for saying mtv can chop up 70 hours
of footage into a 30 min episode in a way to cause drama or make ppl hate watch the
show than go down as a F**ing s**t person who doesn’t care about ppl & treats ppl
like sh**.
jesus.”
So Tana decided she wants to make her own video explaining everything.
She said quote, “all the things we all said (for 400 hours) about these topics didn’t
make mtv’s cut.
video coming soon explaining EVERYTHING so hopefully i can move on & use my platform
to help the world rn instead of having to do this.
i’ll be back.
pls hear me out.
i have a lot to say.”
So while we’re still waiting on that video from Tana, CLEARLY she didn’t like
the way she looked in those episodes.
Are you upset about how Tana has been portrayed in her MTV “Unfiltered” show?
And what do you think she will talk about in her upcoming video?
