Nothing’s off the table when it comes to Tana Mongeau’s videos, so she hasn’t shied away from speaking on difficult situations. That includes her parents, too. In the 2019 holiday special for MTV’s “Tana Turns 21,” the YouTuber blasted them for being “unfit to be parents,” adding that she “want[ed] nothing to do with them.” “Family outings were always really s****y growing up,” Mongeau continued. “I feel like my dad was really, really peak-level embarrassing, whether he was screaming at me or just cheap and rude. My mom would have never gotten dressed or been ready at a normal time.” All of this is consistent with revelations that Mongeau shared in the 2018 YouTube video, “finally opening up about growing up/my insane dad.” In it, she discusses how her mom rarely left the house because of her social anxiety, as well as her dad’s theatrical, over-the-top tendencies and complete lack of social etiquette. Because Mongeau briefly references her dad’s past as a Vietnam War veteran, one fan commented that he may have PTSD from his war-time experiences.

Since 2018, Mongeau’s familial relationships have only deteriorated further. In 2023, she appeared on the “H3 Podcast” and spoke about how she largely lived with friends in her early teen years. “My family I was born into was … crazy,” she admitted, going on to explain that she moved out of the house as soon as she was financially able.
