The world of influencers is full of secrets and controversies, and it seems that Logan Paul and Tana Mongeau have just spilled one of them. In a recent episode of Paul’s podcast, Impaulsive, the two influencers were discussing a topic that many in the industry would rather keep under wraps. Critics could argue that the practice sets a dangerous precedent for impressionable fans who may try to emulate their favorite influencers.

A discussion about “dirty little” secrets

In a society where celebrity culture reigns supreme, paparazzi have become an invasive force that can turn the most mundane moments of an influencer’s life into headline news. Tipping off paparazzi only adds fuel to the fire, perpetuating a cycle of invasive behavior that can negatively impact both the influencer and their fans.

Moreover, tipping off paparazzi undermines the authenticity of influencer content. Fans follow influencers because they believe they are getting a glimpse into their real lives, but staged paparazzi encounters call that authenticity into question. 

In a recent episode of “Impaulsive”, Logan Paul had guests Tana Mongeau and Jeff Wittek on the show. During the podcast, the trio discussed the controversial topic of tipping paparazzi. Logan Paul asked Jeff Wittek, “Are you still tipping paparazzi off wherever you go?” to which Tana Mongeau replied, “Absolutely all the f*ckin time. That actually reminds me of South Beach, yeah?”

George, another guest on the show, seemed taken aback by the conversation and asked, “Wait, you tip paparazzi?” Tana Mongeau continued, “Oh my god, it’s like ordering a pizza bro. It’s like you just f***in, you look good, you’re doing some sh*t, you wanna absolutely, everyone does though, that’s the f**kin thing okay, everyone does.”

Logan Paul also admitted to tipping paparazzi, saying, “Yea that’s true, I’ve done it, yea my bad. Actually, I have done it with you ironically. I fake took Tana on a date for uh.. for content. We’re just dirty little social media sluts.”
