These 45 influencers and celebrities partied hard during the pandemic, flouting public-health guidelines

Reported parties: 14

It seems like YouTuber Tana Mongeau has rarely been seen anywhere but a party in the last few months. Insider counted 14 parties she reportedly attended over the pandemic, but she has also been spotted at many smaller gatherings.

Along with dozens of other influencers, she attended Larri "Larray" Merritt's birthday party at the Hype House in July, Def Noodles, an influencer watchdog YouTuber and Twitter personality, reported.

She posted an Instagram story the following week with fellow influencer Erika Costell, where they told the camera, "we don't f---ing care." Despite later saying the comment referred to historic bad blood between the women (both have dated influencer Jake Paul), many took the message to be an insult towards those who criticized pandemic partying.

Later in July, Mongeau said going to parties and social gatherings during the pandemic was "careless and irresponsible" and she was holding herself accountable.

"Actions like that don't deserve a platform and I want to fully apologize and be better than this," she said. "I need to be a better example and person."

However, it didn't last. Def Noodles reported seeing Mongeau at parties thrown by Jake Paul for his music video in July. The YouTuber also attended Nikita Dragun's birthday party, a Hype House party in August that she posted about on her Instagram story, and a club outing with TikTokers Cole Carrigan and Ava Louise — which Louise posted about on her Instagram story.

Other notable maskless events Mongeau appeared to attend included a party with Noah Cyrus and Diplo in September, two parties on Halloween, and a boat party in Miami in December. She also posted about attending a celebration for Jake Paul's boxing win in November on her Instagram story.

The latest party Mongeau appeared to attend was an event in Miami on February 22.

Mongeau's perpetual cycle of partying, apologizing, and doing it all over again set the tone for how other influencers would continue to behave throughout the pandemic.

Kylie Jenner appeared to throw or attend 12 parties during the pandemic.

These included her own birthday party at Nobu and sister Khloe Kardashian's birthday at her home.

The 23-year-old makeup mogul was also photographed entering Justin and Hailey Bieber's house party in August. Just Jared reported that she attended photographer Bryant Eslava's dinner party in September with other social media influencers. Highsnobiety wrote that Jenner attended Cardi B's Las Vegas birthday party in October, which received backlash for its lack of social distancing and masks, and Jenner appeared to go out clubbing on at least two occasions.

This year, there was a princess-themed 3rd birthday for her daughter Stormi on February 3 that she discussed in a YouTube video. Instagram photos posted by Jenner's friend Sophia Hutchins showed the party seemingly ignored LA's stay-at-home order and prohibition of more than three different households mixing indoors.

The party was thrown after several other events attended by Jenner, including Scott Disick's birthday in May, which Kim Kardashian posted about on Instagram. Kylie also threw a pool party at her house in June, Vulture reported, and attended Tristan Thompson's 4th of July party, according to People. She also attended her sister Kendall Jenner's Halloween party, which she posted about on her Instagram story.

The Kardashian-Jenners — most of whom are on this list — have defended their maskless partying lifestyle throughout the pandemic, saying they have gotten rapid tests done before every event. However, rapid testing may only be 32% effective for asymptomatic people, according to a recent study cited by The New York Times.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul comes in third place for seemingly attending 11 major parties, several of which he hosted himself at the Team 10 mansion in Calabasas.

In July, he had dozens of guests over to his home to film a music video, where maskless influencers swung from heavy machinery, while in August, he hosted a boxing match.

Other parties he threw included a July birthday party, Vulture reported, and two separate parties in Miami — one for his birthday and a boat party.

Paul was also seen at a Team 10 Halloween party, according to Def Noodles, four other parties at the Team 10 mansion, and a party celebrating his boxing victory, as documented by Tana Mongeau's Instagram story.

Paul has not apologized for hosting or attending any parties during the pandemic. Rather, he told Insider's Kat Tenbarge in July: "I personally am not the type of person who's gonna sit around and not live my life."

Paul then told the Daily Beast in November he thinks the coronavirus is a hoax. "It's time for our nation to open up and go back to normal," he said.

She was also present at a party in September, Def Noodles reported, and at fellow TikTok star Addison Rae's dinner party in October, according to MTV.

Fans said they were disappointed in D'Amelio for repeatedly attending events during the pandemic because she had told her audience in an Instagram Live not to hang out with their friends just because they didn't have school.

"Please stop being so inconsiderate to others," she said in the Live. "You are putting other people at risk."

D'Amelio, her family, and close friends, including Chase Hudson, Noah Beck, and Madi Monroe, were spotted in the Bahamas in December while the coronavirus continued to rapidly spread in their city of LA.
