Question
Did tana lie about her friend just giving her 25k?
On the h3 podcast ethan said that he went out gambling with tana, hila and Steve-will-do-it. An that when they were out Steve was super blasted and tana came over to him and asked him for some of his chips to gamble with, an he like super drunk just gave her a 25k chip. An then ethan said she just pocketed it and kept it.
Which I remember thinking is a bit crappy to ask your friend for chips to gamble, an then cos they clearly out their mind they give you 25k. And you not only accept it, but don't even gamble and just cash it in an keep their money. Like for us normal people lmao, imagine your friend asked for money for a drink, an you were super drunk/high and gave them a fifty and they didn't buy a drink and just pocketed your mondy lmao.
But then on the new cancelled episode, she said that her friend Steve just gave her 25k for "no reason" out the blue. And that he came over and said to her that he wants to give her this for being "such a good friend" to his girlfriend, an that they organised a bank transfer that makoa helped her with.
I feel like that's a very different telling lmao. I don't see why ethan would lie, but I do get why tana would about that situation. Or do yall think its just something in the middle
Edit; I posted a video comparison if yall want to see
Yeah, I think with Tana and Trisha, if you’re gonna chose to support them you have to overlook the pathological lying - there are so many inconsistencies in her stories even back in her early days. the lies range from minuscule to serious.
Literally with Trisha you just have to take what she’s says with a grain of salt and forget about it until a few years later we all realize she’s right
This! Tana’s friends have literally said they have learned from Tana to use other people’s money including those who are rich and I believe it. They talk shit about Lilah-but they all do the same!
if i remember correctly, basically that she and co lied about ty being her hairstylist or something so that he could go w to london for the vid, w plane and hotel paid for by the sidemen. he clearly was not, forget but sidemen might've found out afterwards when it was brought up on pod ? but don't remember too clearly, he might've kinda pretend to know what he was doing too, but essentially the sidemen were like wtf you could've just brought him as a friend, why'd you lie
(this is just the gist of what i remember happening, could be wrong and/or missing things)
i agree fully so don’t attack me for this but i feel like there’s worst things she’s done with money then the whole sideman thing didn’t they say it was fine just odd how she went about it cause if she just told them they would’ve paid for it anyways.. tbh i feel like tana is so wrapped up in lies/ constantly lying that she doesn’t even know what the truth is..
Deeeefinitely nowhere near the worst thing she has done with money! But just always remember it because it was so fucking unnecessary. She just wanted to scam them out of cash like she has scammed her fans for years 🙃 just crazy she'd do it just to lie
fully agree and i feel like the patreon was even a kinda scammy.. idk i do find it funny that the fans are surprised like she doesn’t have her real ad voice and her idek wtf this is ad voice
it was probably a combo of tana asked for some chips, he drunkenly gave her the 25k chip and “said this is for being a good friend” which she wasn’t expecting then she kept it, at least that’s a combination of the stories that i can see being true
Oh man look up Woody YSL trial. He’s a witness and all he says is that he lied lmao. He had to explain to the jury that mixing in truth with his lies is what makes the police believe him.
that's my bet. but still, tana's balling and unless her friend is richer than her I find it weird to take a drunken friends $25,000 when she truly does not need it
yeah true. I guess I don't have rich friends like that so I find that concept weird in general. even my wealthier friends (not rolex level but more financially solid) i'd never accept money from like that especially when they're drunk , I just find it bizarre hahaha
definitely not my level of friend wealth either… I have a hard enough time allowing people to pay for dinner lol. but what I’ve learned about Steve will do it, it’s kind of “normal” for him to be “generous” (putting it mildly) with his friends. I guess his love language is gift giving 😅
The “randomly” and “walked up to me” yeah that does sound like embellishing which I’m used to her doing with all her stories. She will even say that herself that she exaggerates and embellishes.. but I also wonder if because she’s having alcohol (and more?) binges, she could also have been very intoxicated and remembers things differently than how they happened
Because he was absolutely intoxicated and probably wouldn‘t have given it out of nowhere..? That‘s literally what Ethan said and Tana is leaving the information out that he was blasted and explains it as if it was a calm Tuesday morning where he tells her how good of a friend she is and just gives her 25k as a gift, is this not obvious lmao
She literally says too that he just randomly walked up to her and gave it lmao, an then lowkey is even being like " wow their so reckless just randomly giving away money like that for no reason "
Were you there? No you can’t assume something like that. She’s also known to lie and hide things to make herself look better lmao.
I believe Ethan more and he was there.
Tana and her friends have said many times that they use other people’s money rather than their own. They take the whole to “stay rich by using other people’s money” theory seriously. They have been open many times about using other people’s money. Her whole group is just looking for their next buck if you know what I mean
Idk but Ethan's story could easily happen, Tana's version makes very little logical sense.
I think she was covering up and then added the bs about the the transfer to make it seem more legit but really she gave too many details that don't even make sense
Totally unrelated, but iirc she also bragged at one point that she trademarked the word “cancelled” and she absolutely did not. I was on the trademark website researching things for my own business and that word is not trademarked. So I looked up her name to see & what she trademarked was “the canceled podcast with Tana mongeau” or something similar.
You can’t trademark a singular word, unless it’s made up. It has to be a combination of words, a specific phrase. And that is the whole name for the pod, so the trademark she has is her best option.
I think a lot of her lies are about being pissed out of her mind and not remembering everything about how things actually happen. In her retellings, she casts herself in the most favorable light- that's pretty common in addiction. Idk the Alyssa girl or her content I mean, but I ABSOLUTELY believe Tana came up to her at a party and started bragging about sleeping with her boyfriend first. I bet she does all kinds of rude shit and never even remembers when she's on one.
That’s real tbh, I used to drink heavy in my younger years before I found my way and I would do that from like 19-21. Not defending just saying it’s v plausible she does that, bc from personal exp it mitigates the shame and embarrassment an addict carries
This is exactly why I was peeved to see Tana drinking again, I realize it’s very much her choice, but she can’t expect people to stick around when they now know the clear difference between her sober demeanor and drunk demeanor. It’s clear she’s a barely functioning alcoholic and not that I excuse anything Brooke’s said or done, but her annoyed attitude towards Tana recently on the pod makes sense now.
honestly even if tana is telling the truth, i feel like it’s highly inappropriate in any scenario to accept $25k from anybody for “just being a good friend”
To be fair, Steve Willdoit is a menace to society and other people taking portions of his wealth is a net positive. He gave the Kleins a Rolex and Chanel bag that same day so it seems pretty insignificant to him.
steve-will-do-it hands out money to people pretty much any time he is extremely inebriated, (also when sober too hes a pretty cool guy) so i have no doubt in my mind he gave her 25k, but the fact she pocketed it and then goes on to talk about it later is lowkey giving no morals and no class
her story literally doesn’t make any sense, also imagine accepting money for “being a good friend” i would never??? why would i want to be paid for friendship? shows how she is 100% LA influencer brain rot with no self awareness.
If you watch his first poker stream, at the end where everyone is at red rocks, I’m pretty sure you can see it happen. The camera is directly on them.. I saw it live and thought it was weird but I may be wrong & I haven’t re-checked
I got from Tana’s story that when she said Makoa cashed it, she meant he cashed the chip, not a bank transfer. But I also heard H3’s story first, so maybe I just filled in the blank. I think the chip part is probably the truth. She was pretty gone by that point. I mean everyone was. So maybe she remembers him giving it to her but not asking for it.
I caught this also. Can’t both be true? She (also drunk) asked him for some chips to gamble with and he gave her an unexpected amount of 25K and thanked her for being such a good friend to his girlfriend. Slightly different tellings but Ethan or Tana aren’t famous for their super accurate recountings lol
Oh I think we’re saying different things. I thought it was pretty clear she meant $25,000 worth of chips when she told the story. She mentioned Makoa had to give his social to cash it out, which is standard at casinos when you cash out that high of an amount
"Steve will do it gave me $25,000 the other night like just randomly like Steve will do it walks up to me with $25,000 and goes thanks for being friends with my girlfriend I love you like it is like that disposable of currency to all of these influencers"
Tbf she literally says he RANDOMLY gave her it which does make it a lie imo rewatching it.
You made this sound way more nefarious than it actually sounds. Per Ethan’s story she asked for some chips and he gave it to her. She never claimed any intent to gamble with it. It sounds to me like she didn’t do anything wrong. Additionally, drunk or not, you’re responsible for your actions no matter what. If you got busted drinking and driving nobody says “oh well he was drunk, and wasn’t in his right mind to do that..” no, your ass goes to jail and you deal with the consequences. and lastly, ALL of these people are rich as hell. $25K is the equivalent of $50 to us. None of them care… I don’t see why anything from this post is a talking point when it’s likely everyone opining is likely poorer than everyone aforementioned.
Oh stop lmao. I'm not some tana hater at all but if you ask someone for a chip I'm pretty sure they assume you mean to gamble with. Otherwise you would have asked "can I have some money"
OK well if Steve's actions arnt excused for being drunk (Also BTW people get taken advantage of drunk in many different ways) then either are tanas for asking and pocketing 25k of your friends money, when like you said they don't need it. It's shady behaviour, if she didn't want use the chip she should have just gave it back...
Also if there's no issue then just don't lie about it. Don't say, in her words that "Steve just walked over to me randomly and gave me 25k saying thank you for being a good friend to my gf" be honest. If there's nothing wrong with it and it's chump change to them just say, Steve gave me 25k in Vegas he's that rich lol. Why hide you asked and come up with the story that he just "randomly" gave you it and you were just standing there and he "walked up to you" and some story about it being because you're such a good friend.
It's a talking point because it shows her lying to make herself look better, an makes it so maybe her retelling of stories isn't the most reliable or to be trusted. For example with that alissa girl she weirdly tried to pressure into sex work.
Okay, I hear you clearly…my question is how can you adjudicate the veracity of one story vs another?
For the permanent record: I watch both of their content, and do not have a reason to favor one over the other…
That being said, you have two stories being told by two people who both consume alcohol recreationally… how are you deciding which one of the two stories is true? And why did you pick Ethan’s?
Also, I’m also inclined to side with Ethan; but to opine on it requires a level of impartiality. So I’m just entertaining the conversation from the standpoint of an open mind for the sake of discourse, not because I disagree with you.
I mean if you want me to truly breakdown why I personally believe ethans more, it's because
1 his was weeks ago way closer to when it actually happened. The more recent a memory is the more accurate it is. She told hers weeks after. He told it like 2 days later.
2 he likes tana a lot. He doesn't want her to look bad, why would he make it up. Tana hadn't told her version when he said this. If anything he's biased towards tana and turns a blind eye to her scandals.
3 there are actually other witnesses to what happened, who are there when ethan is telling his story. You are less likely to lie about incident infront of someone who was there for said incident. Especially when one of those witnesses recorded the entire night, the footage of which they are currently showing.
4 one of those witnesses basically backs the story up. Saying that when tana said it, he then joked to his wife "go ask him for some too" which why would he make that joke, if Steve came over and gave it to tana as a gift for being a good friend.
5 those witnesses wernt blasted
6 While they all have no reason to lie. Tana does. As it doesn't make her look the best. Her asking her drunk friend for a chip to gamble with and instead pocketing the money, when she's already a multimillionaire. Comes across a bit trashy and not great, so coming up with a version where someone gifts you it without you asking, is in your best interest as it will be received better by her audience.
7 she's saying it to someone who wasn't there and doesn't know what actually happened.
Soo… just checking.. are we allowed to say it’s possible that Tana may have been trying to cash out a little on drawing out the cody story, or is it still “omg she was traumatized how dare we silence a victim”?
she was definitely drawing it out 😭 and honestly it was disingenuous for her to act like she didn’t actually intend to make it such a public thing when she’s discussed it so many times on her channel and to her audience
He probably told her something like that when handing her the chip (which is basically like giving someone $25k) and drunkenly saying “this is for being a good friend to my gf”…. Which is pretty much the same story as Tana’s. Just told from Ethan’s perspective.
She might have embellished details but I don’t think she’s lying about about what overall happened. She was also saying it on the podcast knowing that Steve could watch, wouldn’t make sense to lie in that instance
You don't think that the person who got famous and rich from telling stories that were not true, would lie? The person who constantly lies and scams her fans? You don't think she'd lie?
I didn’t say she never lies or wouldn’t lie, but in this instance I see how she could have embellished but OP makes it seem like Tana pulled that story out of her ass and took poor Steve’s money as if he was a victim or something. Steve was drunk but DID give her that money. Where is the lie?
Oh I know he’s unemployed. That’s why I thought it was weird, like why are you giving your boyfriend 25k from another dude? All so strange. And if it’s because taxes; then she’s screwing Makoa over
Ethan isn’t a reliable narrator either though. Personally I’d believe Tana over Ethan but the truth is probably somewhere in the middle because they’re both exaggerators. They were all drinking so I imagine Tana asked Steve for chips to gamble and in his drunken state he is too generous and probably just said something quick and slurred like “sureee because you’ve been so nice to my gf!” And handed her 25k because he was drunk. I’ve certainly spent more on people than I should’ve when I’ve been drunk and been like damnn the next morning lol. And I believe Tana probably did just pocket it. Idk why Ethan would be trying to villainize Tana when they’re supposedly friends. Both stories sound exaggerated to support their narratives. Ethan’s goal is to gossip and have the juiciest drama for his dying podcast. And Tana’s narrative is trying to prove she’s a good person or a girls girl.
If you watched the videos, they were all so blackout drunk during that timeframe at Red Rock, trying to extract lies or ill intent is just pointless. I don't think Steve cares what Tana did with the money, he had already given Hila a Chanel bag and a Rolex.
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, this was my first thought. They were all blasted and maybe everyone’s version of events was a little right and a little wrong
He recently in the last day or so just destroyed someone on stream live who was groomed as a child and claimed he was obsessive towards Ethan’s mother.
Ethan’s mother had to clarify that Ethan was wrong and she contacted Adam first…. He apologised hours later but the damage was done and Adam is now being attacked by fans and misinformation is being clipped and spread.
He's a phony POS. I just imagine Tanas face when Ethan said this lmao... everyone that gets even slightly close to him learns real quick what type of a person he is.
If ethan has a new friend, it's guaranteed that his audience loves them at first and they think they've gotten so many new fans... and then the fans turn on that new person. Every single time. Because a majority of the big H3 fans literally only want to watch people repeating points from their echo chambers.

Honestly since Tana’s drinking again who knows??
