“Tana scammed us” - Sidemen members reveal how Tana Mongeau lied and made the YouTube group pay for her and her friend's entire trip

Sidemen members, notably JJ "KSI" and Simon "Miniminter," revealed that Tana Mongeau, who had previously partnered with them on a project, provided false information regarding her trip to the UK. Tana, hailing from Las Vegas, was invited to participate in a "20 vs 1" video alongside the UK-based group. As expected, she was joined by a few companions during her visit.

During the latest episode of the Side+ Podcast, the Sidemen members disclosed that Tana had asked to bring her assistant and a make-up artist. She subsequently requested to extend their stay for a few additional days. However, it was later revealed that the individual introduced as the make-up artist was, in fact, merely a friend of Tana's. Reacting to the story, Simon said:

"Tana scammed us."

"Why don't you just be real?" - Sidemen members bemused at Tana Mongeau's behavior

The Sidemen, one of the most subscribed YouTube groups, recently collaborated with American social media personality Tana Mongeau. Expectedly, the group covered the expenses for her visit to the UK. However, the members had also discovered that she made up a story about her friend. Miniminter revealed:

"Did you know that Tana scammed us? So we wanted her to do this video (20 vs 1). So we said 'Oh, we'll fly you out. Put you up in a hotel. You do the video.' She's like 'Cool, I have my assistant.' We're like, 'Yeah, of course.' Fly her out too, get the hotel."

He continued:

"She's like, 'Ah, I really need this make-up artist.' We're like, 'Fair enough.' Fly him out, get his hotel."

During a podcast that Tana filmed back in the States, the Sidemen discovered:

"She flies back, does a podcast with the guy, turns out it's just her friend. never done make-up in his life and they had the whole flight, teaching him how to look like he was putting make up on her."

Although no notable hostility was present, KSI did admit that she had the option to simply tell the truth:

"Why don't you just be real? Just be like, 'Can I also have two friends?' We would've been like 'Yeah, sure'."

Tana has since then responded to the clip, stating:
