Trisha Paytas calls out YouTube after alleging years of harassment by Ethan Klein
Speaking out for the first time about Ethan Klein in five years, Trisha Paytas has called out YouTube after alleging the podcaster ‘harassed’ her.
This comes after Ethan announced that the H3 Podcast would be going on an ‘indefinite hiatus’. A couple days later. On Friday (October 23), his wife Hila took to Instagram to announce their separation, alleging that Ethan had been having an ‘affair for over six months’.
Trisha, who has been at odds with Ethan since the end of their joint podcast Frenemies, spoke about Ethan during the most recent episode of the Just Trish podcast, where she admitted she felt ‘relief’ that the H3 Podcast had ended.

The YouTuber went on to claim that she would ‘reach out to everybody’ she possibly could, including anyone she knew at YouTube, and her agents.
Trisha continues: “Obviously, we tried through Moses’ family to get them to stop, we tried everything and not only was it met with zero grace and zero compassion but just more retaliation, it would just make them more upset if we’d try to get help.”
Trisha’s husband Moses Hacmon, who is also Hila’s brother, spoke out too, revealing that he has been no contact with his sister for five years.
Speaking about Ethan, Moses claimed: “At first he did everything he could to destroy my family and he was successful at that unfortunately, and after that, he did everything he could to destroy his own family and he was successful at that too. When we heard the news... I was in tears because I read the statement from my sister.
“I warned her in the past that he is a liar, and he lies.”

In her online statement, Hila wrote: “I am in survival mode, trying to navigate separation, co-parenting, and unthinkable heartbreak.”
This was later reposted by Ethan, who also spoke out on his Instagram Story to share that he is working with Hila to ‘urgently remove’ his ownership and financial stakes in any podcasts, clothing line Teddy Fresh, makeup brand Teddy Glow, and any other joint ventures the couple have.
On the official H3 Podcast Instagram page, the crew shared their own post, saying: “We are all shocked, angry and heartbroken to learn about Ethan’s ongoing affair.
“As soon as we found out, we all agreed: we would not continue working with Ethan involved or profiting in any way. We don’t yet know what that means for the future.”
They went on to say that the crew ‘stands with Hila’, adding that they will ‘support her every step of the way’.
