PornHub nominates Instagram stars Tana Mongeau and Belle Delphine for awards although both haven't made any porn
A large number of celebrities are set to rank in Pornhub's awards ceremony scheduled to take place in October this year, including disgraced pornstar Stormy Daniels and American media personality Kim Kardashian.
However, what has fans abuzz was when they found YouTuber, musician, and TV show star Tana Mongeau in the list of nominees for the PornHub Awards in the Top Celebrity category despite not having produced any pornographic content, according to a Sputnik News report.
Mongeau told her almost two million Twitter followers about the nomination while also mentioning that she was nominated for the Public Choice Award in The Social Star category this year. She had been nominated for the PornHub Awards last year as well.
As the TV star announced the news alongside hashtags "scammer" and "I'd like to thank my parents", it was unclear whether she was flattered for being "one of the most searched names on PornHub" over the last two years.
Tana's fans, who were surprised to find her nomination despite not making any porn, bizarrely commented that she "deserved" it anyway.
Apart from Mongeau, another media celebrity who made it to the list without actually posting any porn on the internet was controversial Instagram blogger Belle Delphine.
The 19-year-old saw her account blocked in early August for allegedly breaching Instagram's Community Guidelines. Nonetheless, she has garnered a following of around 4.5 million by posting playful content on the platform.
While her account is currently unavailable, Delphine's lewd content on Instagram was almost pornographic in nature. Furthermore, due to high demand from her audience, she created her own PornHub profile this summer.
Earlier this year, the gamer girl grabbed headlines after she allegedly sold 500 jars of her own bathwater for $30 a pop.
Mongeau and Delphine now await the results of the 2019 PornHub Awards, which is scheduled to take place on October 11 in Los Angeles.
