Tana Mongeau\u2019s MTV series exposes \u201ctruth\u201d about marriage to Jake Paul MTV, YouTube \/ Tana Mongeau, InstagramControversial social media stars Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau outraged the internet after charging viewers to watch their hyped-up wedding on July 28 \u2013 but their pay-per-view plan isn\u2019t the only thing fans are upset about. The couple opened up about their relationship in early May, following mass speculation that the two were secretly dating. However, they weren\u2019t in the \u201cdating\u201d stage for long: Paul popped the question in a Vegas night club just one month later during Tana\u2019s 21st birthday bash \u2013 a move that many critics felt was setting fans up for a massive prank. 600While the two eventually went through with their wedding in late July, commenters are convinced that the entire charade was merely a scam, thanks to a recent episode of Mongeau\u2019s \u201cTana Turns 21\u201d MTV special.

It was for entertainment like all youtubers do. We got inspired by 13 reason why and wanted to do a series. To spread awareness to young girls. Being called fat and pregnant everyday. I wanted to give the haters something to talk about. In the end people got hurt. Mikey and I are truly sorry. After months of doubt and speculation, it looks like the truth has finally come to light: Tana and Jake\u2019s wedding was definitely staged, and fans aren\u2019t happy about it \u2013 but it doesn\u2019t look like the outrage is stopping this YouTube couple anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
