Trisha Paytas breaks silence on Ethan Klein after 5 years amid cheating scandal
Trisha Paytas has broken her silence on her former co-host Ethan Klein five years after their joint podcast Frenemies ended in a feud.
The YouTuber claims that she has spent the past five years being ‘ridiculed’ for various things by the H3 Podcast, which is owned and run by Ethan alongside his wife, Hila.
Both Trisha and Ethan have been at odds since 2021 when an on-air argument resulted in the end of the Frenemies podcast.
Trisha, who is married to Moses Hacmon, Hila’s brother, has been silent about the issues that led to the estrangement of the family, although Ethan has publicly spoken about Trisha on numerous occasions over the years.

However, all that has now changed after Hila took to Instagram on Friday (October 23) to allege that Ethan had been having ‘an affair for over six months’.
Now, during an episode of the Just Trish podcast, Trisha explains why her ‘hard boundary’ of not speaking about Ethan has changed, after she ‘lived in fear for the past five years’, going on to admit that she felt ‘relief’ that the H3 Podcast has ended.
Trisha claims that she asked for a truce, adding: “I was not met with any grace or compassion, I sent private texts and I was like, ‘Please, please, I’m spiraling, I’m mentally unwell, can we just end this?’
“I was met with zero grace or compassion from either of them and they were like, ‘We’ll never stop, you don’t get to tell us what to do’.”
Moses shares: “I have been no contact with Hila for like five years so I have nothing to say about her... but Ethan to me is not part of the family anymore so I can definitely talk about it and, 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.”
According to Moses, the reason the final episode of Frenemies never aired was because Ethan allegedly feared ‘backlash’ from it, going on allege that Ethan created a ‘persona’ of Moses that he is a ‘creep, he’s awful, he hates his family, he hates his mom, he hates his sister, he’s the end of Frenemies’, which Moses claims that ‘not even one of them is true’.
H3 Podcast’s Hila Klein announces separation from Ethan
In her post, Hila wrote: “I am in survival mode, trying to navigate separation, co-parenting, and unthinkable heartbreak.”
This social media post was later shared 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.
Some fans have expressed hope for the crew members of H3 to continue the podcast without Ethan, as the crew have earned a following from viewers in their own right.
On the official H3 Podcast Instagram page, the crew shared their own statement, 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’.
