Brian Laundrie update Influencer under fire for sharing conspiracy theory as Gabby Petito memorial removed
An internet personality with nearly 7 million followers on TikTok has come under fire for spreading a false conspiracy theory suggesting Brian Laundrie is still alive.
Tana Mongeau, who also has a large following on other social media such as Instagram, wrongly claimed that the remains found earlier this month were not those of Laundrie.
"I'm not joking," she wrote in TikTok message earlier this week. "I genuinely think something was placed there so that people would think the remains were him".
Ms Mongeau, who first came to public attention in 2017 with her "storytime" videos YouTube, also posts on OnlyFans and makes podcasts.
In the video, she claimed that "news sources confirmed" the remains found did not belong to Laundrie, before going on to "guarantee" that the deceased is "in Paris".
She came under fire from some of her followers, who accused her of using the case as an attention-seeking publicity stunt, which she denies.
Meanwhile, a memorial to Gabby Petito has been removed from in front of Brian Laundrieâs parentsâ home by North Port city officials, almost two months since she was first reported missing.

âHe is alive. And thatâs the tea,â she said.
