Mongeau uploaded her latest storytime video on October 28, where she described a chilling encounter with an Uber driver while attempting to leave the house of her ex-girlfriend, former Disney star Bella Thorne. According to Tana, Thorne lives in a highly isolated area of California\u2019s Beverly Hills \u2013 a locale that many drivers will refuse to frequent due to the long drive (and lack of cell service). After canceling multiple Uber and Lyft rides, Mongeau finally got a bite from an UberBLACK SUV \u2013 but the driver\u2019s attitude set her on edge, with the YouTuber claiming that she was terrified of angering the intimidating man. \u201cI\u2019m getting into the car, and he goes, \u2018Bad,\u2019\u201d she explained. \u201c\u2026everything in my body was like, \u2018Stop!\u2019 I literally stop in my tracks, and I get out of the car.\u201d While she described his voice as a \u201csix foot tall, white, school teacher but, like, murderer\/rapist,\u201d that wasn\u2019t the only concerning part of her ride: the driver\u2019s license plate didn\u2019t match up with her app, which she made sure to note. \u201cThere was something about him that was so angry and scary that I felt like if I cancelled, he would be even angrier with me,\u201d she continued. \u201c\u2026He turns his head back to Imari and me and says, \u2018Get in the car.\u2019\u201d Thus, Mongeau and her friend Imari decided to use the Uber anyway \u2013 a decision that she later regretted when the driver came upon a four-way stop and didn\u2019t seem to know the route to their destination, opting to turn right when the YouTubers clearly suggested a left-hand turn. \u201cHe could have easily killed us there and gotten away with it,\u201d she recalled. 600https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B3Sb9A8hK8L\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkThe group then went on an elongated drive past a series of freeway exits that she claimed the driver\u2019s app was prompting him to take, and managed to get out of the car near a Shell gas station before it was too late (using the excuse that she was on her period and needed a tampon \u2013 classic Tana). Thankfully, the YouTuber managed to order a second Uber whose license plate actually matched, resulting in a relieving ride home \u2013 and a chilling reminder to be exceedingly cautious when ordering late-night rides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tana Mongeau explains how she was \u201calmost killed\u201d in Uber incident Although internet star Tana Mongeau turned heads with her livestreamed wedding to Jake Paul, die-hard fans know the YouTuber for her history of wild storytime videos \u2013 and her most recent tale will leave viewers\u2019 jaws on the floor.
