Jenna Marbles (born September 15, 1986 in Rochester , New York , real name Jenna Nicole Mourey ) is an American producer of YouTube videos. It is one of the most subscribed users in the US on the video platform with over 20 million subscribers.

Life

Marbles grew up in Rochester, New York, where she graduated from Brighton High School in 2004. She then attended Suffolk University , where she did her Bachelor of Science in psychology . Marbles started her career on the satirical lifestyle blog Barstool Sports .

Marbles has been vegan since 2015.

Marbles has been in a relationship with YouTuber Julien Solomita since 2013. The two live in Santa Monica , California with their four dogs Marbles, Kermit, Peach and Bunny, who can be seen regularly in their videos.

YouTube career

The number of views of Marbles' video How To Trick People Into Thinking You're Good Looking grew to over 5 million after just one week. Her video How To Avoid Talking To People You Don't Want To Talk To was part of the New York Times and ABC News in which she said:

"I'm fed up with guys who think, just because I show myself at a club or a bar, that their genitals have to touch my bum."

The video reached approximately 32 million views on October 6, 2013. Her pseudonym Jenna Marbles came about because, at the beginning of her activity on YouTube and because of the fecal language used in the videos, she wanted to prevent her mother from finding out what she was doing on the Internet. The name " Marbles " comes from their dog of the same name.

Marbles appeared as Eve in season 2 of Epic Rap Battles of History , episode 13 "Adam vs. Eve ”. She played a banana in The Annoying Orange in the episode "Fake n 'Bacon". She played Miley Cyrus in a " Wrecking Ball " -inspired segment of YouTube Rewind's official 2013 Annual Review . On January 30, 2014, she appeared in the fourth season of Ridiculousness.

Marbles made an appearance as herself in Smosh: The Movie in 2015 . In 2015, Marbles unveiled a wax figure of herself at Madame Tussauds in New York. She was the first YouTube star to be immortalized at Madame Tussauds, and her figure is the first wax figure to take a selfie at this location.

Marbles does a weekly podcast with boyfriend Julien Solomita. The podcast is titled "The Jenna Julien Podcast" (formerly called "The Jenna and Julien Podcast").

On June 25, 2020, Marbles stated in a YouTube video that they no longer wanted to publish any new content on their channel for an indefinite period of time. She had already changed much of her older YouTube content to no longer publicly available; it now mainly contains videos from the more recent past with a focus on lifestyle and DIY . Marbles had previously become the target of a phenomenon known in English-speaking countries as cancel culture , which "pursues the systematic boycott and 'cancellation' of a person who has drawn attention through dubious statements or discriminatory acts". For example, Marbles apologized for a video from 2011 in which she was blackfacing in a Nicki Minaj parody in her most recently uploaded statement .

marketing

Mourey released a series of dog toys called " Kermie Worm & Mr. Marbles ". She also sells items with her most famous quotes on it (such as: "what are this").
