YouTube
Begining
Jenna first joined YouTube on April 5, 2006 under her real full name "Jenna Mourey". Her first video was uploaded on February 13, 2008 which was a twenty second vlog of Itchy, one of her old boyfriend's dog titled "Itchy says I love you".
JennaMarbles
Jenna made her second YouTube account in February 2010 because she had always enjoyed making people laugh. She wanted to start off fresh and she intended to use the name of her first account but her mother disagreed as she thought Jenna putting her last name out there and making videos that were bound to consist of inappropriate content would ruin her job chances as she was looking for one. Jenna then went with "Jenna Marbles" and started making videos. Her channel quickly became popular, allowing her to focus on videos full-time.
Podcast
She has a podcast which comes every Monday where she along with her boyfriend, Julien Solomita speaks their mind titled "Jenna Julien".
Style
Jenna's videos are known for their raunchy humor, inventive curses, and relation to real-life events. She has since gotten more mature and less inappropriate in her videos however she still does use profanity and discusses foul things in a loud, somewhat obnoxious manner sometimes. She has made videos consisting of different characters, real or fictional videos describing, for example, how men and women get ready in the morning. For her "male" videos, Mourey typically wears a blue polo shirt, a backwards baseball cap, and a drawn-on curly mustache. Several of her videos feature her now ex-boyfriend, Max, who vlogs at MaxNoSleeves. Her current boyfriend, Julien, now appears in her videos.
Her videos over the years has consisted of skits, rants, opinions, story times, how to's, vlogs, fan responding videos, makeup videos, and montages of the best of her videos by years as well as extra things that didn't make it into her actual set of videos.
Public Image
Marbles is regarded as one of the most genuine and caring people on YouTube. She is also described by some to be attractive. She is also referred to as being strong and courageous being a role model for young girls to follow their mind.
However many people criticise her and assume that she is a "jerk" or "arrogant" due to her content, especially in the past consisting of her giving her honest opinions in a heated manner most of the time. Some translate this behavior to be ignorant as well.
She has also been labeled as a bad person by some due to her jobs before YouTube. Some examples besides that is smoking in her Google Hangouts test video on her original channel which made a lot of her viewers upset.
Many people find Marbles very comedic though. For example, in 2014, her channel was ranked #5 in the top 10 comedy channels on YouTube by WatchMojo in their "Top X" series.
Personal Life
After graduating college, she worked for StooLaLa, a female-based sports site that was the sister site of BarStoolSports. She also worked as a shots girl and promo model, a job she humorously described as "dancing in [her] underwear," a bartender, and worked in a tanning salon.
She has three dogs, Kermit, Peach, (both Italian greyhounds) and Marbles (a chihuahua). They appear in most of the videos she has made, often at the end, when she mimes them saying, "Make sure you subscribe to our channel!" We put out new videos every Wednesday!" Jenna recently got a pet hamster named Adword Sponsorhands.
Jenna Marbles is in a very committed relationship with Julien Solomita, the man who she also lives with. They go on many adventurers and spend lots of time together. He is known to be fun, sometimes wander minded, and loving. Many fans perfer Julien over her ex boyfriend Max as they thought they didn't have a good connection in their relationship. Jenna, Julien, and their 4 pets are very liked by the YouTube community overall.
Jenna Marbles is seen to be an average person. She is private as well as she has a calm and humble personality. She is a home person but also likes to go on trips with her friends, Julien, family, and pets.
Besides that she without a production team makes a video weekly and may collaborate with YouTubers and go to YouTuber events sometimes.
