Cody Ko has finally responded to Tana Mongeau’s serious allegation against him.
In July 2024, Tana claimed that she and Cody slept together when she was 17 and he was 25 during a live taping of her Cancelled podcast.
Following the allegation, Cody faced heavy criticism and decided to take a long hiatus from social media and quit his podcast, Tiny Meat Gang.
At the time, the YouTuber did not publicly address Tana’s allegation.
Now, Cody posted a 21-minute clip on video video-sharing app about preparing to run a marathon and revealed why he took a break from social media.
Without mentioning Tana’s name, the 34-year-old said, “Obviously, I understand I’ve been offline for months and haven’t made videos for that whole time.”
“I also understand if your opinion of me has potentially changed over the last few months,” he said at the end of the marathon-focused video.” I spent the first half of my career criticizing people and judging people online, so I don’t begrudge your judgement of me by any means.”
The internet star further claimed that he’s going to “try to be the best person I can be for myself and for my family and just continue putting the best shit out there that I can.”
“If you stick around to watch it, I very much appreciate it from the bottom of my heart, truly,” added Cody.
