Tana Mongeau dropped by sponsor after saying she wanted wine expert \u201cdead\u201d Instagram: tanamongeauYouTube star Tana Mongeau has been officially dropped by one of her sponsors for claiming she wanted a wine expert \u2018dead\u2019 after her tour in France didn\u2019t go to plan. Popular YouTuber Tana Mongeau came under fire earlier this month after regaling viewers with the story of her experience on a wine tour in France. According to Mongeau, the tour involved much more walking than she\u2019d originally thought, and as she was hungover from drinking until 6 AM that morning, wanted an easygoing and \u201cfun\u201d tour instead of the \u201ceducational\u201d experience she received. Mongeau claimed there was no food available on the train as they traveled to their destination and even put in her headphones to snooze before her guide tapped her on the shoulder to educate her about champagne during their trip. The YouTuber wasn\u2019t happy with this and eventually decided to return to Paris instead of moving forward with the rest of the tour. Mongeau expressed her exasperation over the ordeal on an episode of her podcast, aptly called \u2018CANCELLED,\u2019 after which she received a slew of criticism from viewers. This criticism was in part due to the fact that the tour guide became the target of online harassment, who claimed in an interview with NBC, that she\u2019d even received death threats due to the ordeal, which she reported to authorities. Mongeau even said \u201cliterally, I absolutely want her dead, by the hands of me\u201d during the episode. On top of this, she also used an ad read for one of her sponsors, language-learning service \u2018Babbel,\u2019 as a means to insult the guide. \u201cWith Babbel I could have told Cynthia the wine tour lady to shut the f**k up in her native language,\u201d she said. Tana Mongeau dropped by Babel after saying she wants tour guide \u201cdead\u201d Babbel has since publicly distanced themselves from Mongeau, as told in a statement to NBC. \u201cThis absolutely does not align with Babbel\u2019s company values,\u201d Babbel\u2019s public relations lead Matt Horsburgh said. \u201cHighlighted here, Tana is obviously not a person who understands or celebrates the differences in cultures and we regret to be in any way involved with her.\u201d Tana has yet to offer a response to the ongoing outrage against her at the time of writing \u2014 but this isn\u2019t the only criticism she\u2019s been facing lately. The YouTuber also came under scrutiny after telling former Miss Brazil Duda Castro to \u201cdie\u201d after the two got into a feud in DMs in July, and judging by her recent podcast episode, Tana still isn\u2019t warm on Castro after their spat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
