Since June this year, Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas have been feuding. For months, they have been calling each other out. Unfortunately, things seem to be getting worse with every passing day. Recently, Paytas claimed that Klein is portraying them as a villain. In an interview, they said that joking about his Tourette’s was in good humor and he knew it. After that, Klein responded to it in a TikTok video. However, TikTok took it down and labeled it as hate speech.
Interestingly, Frenemies was also a result of a feud between Trisha Paytas and Ethan Klein
After calling each other names on social media, the two came together to form a podcast called Frenemies. For months, it held a position as one of the most-watched podcasts on YouTube. However, things could not last long. During the pandemic, Paytas started to date Klein’s brother-in-law, Moses Hacmon. This did not sit well with Ethan Klein and his wife, Hila. However, everyone wished them well and moved on. Shortly after, the couple got engaged. In June, Ethan Klein and Paytas ended the podcast. According to Paytas, the feud began with an ownership dispute. Since then, they have been in an ongoing social media war.
