About this listen
This week the most significant development surrounding Tana Mongeau is her forthright on-air reckoning in the aftermath of her podcast co-host Brooke Schofield’s resurfaced racist and homophobic tweets. According to AOL and People, on the August 11 episode of Cancelled, Tana made it explicitly her decision not to have Brooke on the episode. She called Schofield’s old comments, which covered everything from racist slurs to bizarre praise for George Zimmerman, “horrific” and stressed that as a white woman, it wasn’t her place to forgive or move the conversation forward on behalf of others. Tana revisited her own controversies from a decade ago—acknowledging and condemning past racist tweets as “hurtful and disgusting.” She reaffirmed the need for ongoing growth and learning, making clear to listeners her intent for real accountability, not just performative apologies. At the same time, she apologized for at first backing Schofield’s initial apology, admitting regret and insisting that carelessness about where we “grew up bad” is not an excuse. Not only is this a deeply public moment for Tana, but decisions about the future structure of Cancelled remain open, with media like People and Business Insider confirming the decision was hers and that she’s considering the podcast’s direction in the wake of the fallout.
Elsewhere in the news cycle, Tana Mongeau inserted herself in the viral Kis Cafe social media storm. When Bay Area influencer Karla went public about a James Beard-nominated chef berating her at a restaurant collab—an incident that caused the chef’s removal and the restaurant to announce a closure and restructuring—Tana jumped into the TikTok comments thread, sharing her own shock and amplifying support. Her reaction was typical Tana: visible, immediate, and in step with the digital creators’ community according to People.
From a business angle, the Cancelled Live tour continues to fuel her entrepreneurial momentum. As reported by The Influencer Marketing Factory, Tana’s live podcast events with Brooke Schofield have produced high returns from both ticket and merch sales. This format, part of a boom in creator in-person events, has expanded her reach and deepened ties to fans, confirming her influence both on- and offline, and signaling she’s at the forefront of the creator-to-tour movement.
Notably, there’s less headline-making drama from Tana’s personal life in the past 24 hours, no major confirmed spats or breakups, but plenty of community discourse about her choices as a public figure and visionary in the podcaster space. She’s kept up her presence on TikTok and Instagram with her usual blend of self-aware humor and behind-the-scenes snippets, continuing to drive conversation.
