trisha petas Breaking her silence on fellow YouTubers ethan kleinScam of.
For those unaware, Trisha (now ex) belongs to H3 Hosted by Ethan and his wife hila klein Through Trish’s husband, moses hakmon. Moses is the brother of Hila.
Over the years, as YouTube celebrities, Trisha and Ethan had developed a “frenzied” dynamic and took advantage of it from the get-go. frenemies Podcasts in 2020. Unfortunately, reportedly due to creative ownership arguments, the “frenzy” thing quickly turned into actual “enemy” territory, and their podcast quickly came to an end in 2021. Since then they have had a bad relationship, not even having any contact.
Last week, unrelated to their feud, Hila released the following statement Instagram Claiming that she had known that Ethan had been cheating on her for several months:
“I’m living a nightmare I can’t wake up from.
My husband is having an affair.
I have been fed lie after lie for months. I’m tired of lies. Here is the truth.
I could sense that something was wrong. I tried to ask him questions and share my concerns and hurt feelings. But I received dismissive replies and no action. The things that bothered me continued to bother me and he didn’t do anything about it.
So I trusted him. Because I loved her. I stopped questioning him and started questioning myself, my conscience. My sanity.”
But Hila says the truth eventually came to the surface:
“Finally, he was caught in the lie, and I knew I had lied. But the lies continued. “It was just a kiss” became “It was emotional cheating.” When I confronted him about these lies, he finally admitted that he had been in an affair for over 6 months, something I’m sure I still didn’t know the extent of.
The betrayal I feel is immeasurable. The person I loved and trusted for 20 years disappeared overnight. He was my safe place, my partner in marriage, parenting and business. My only family on this side of the world. How do I begin to make sense of this?
I don’t know what will happen next; I have never come here before. I’m in survival mode, trying to deal with separation, co-parenting, and unimaginable heartbreak. Right now I can just focus on taking care of myself and my kids one day at a time.”

Ethan has since released his own statement via Instagram Stories, writing:
“I know many people are expecting me to comment, but I request you to please respect the privacy of my family and not contact them looking for me or asking for their comments. They have nothing to do with this and are sharing in your outrage and disappointment. Thank you.”
He then uploaded another statement letting everyone know that he is working to remove himself from ownership of her podcast and other business ventures:
“I am working with Hila to immediately remove my ownership and financial stake from any podcast, Teddy Fresh, Teddy Glow or any joint venture that would benefit me. All of your support will go directly to Hila and Crew. I am doing this in the hopes that people can still support Hila and Crew without the worry of enriching me.
I know the crew will create a fantastic show, they are full of the most talented, creative, hilarious and great people.
Now that it’s been a few days since all this came to light, Trisha is speaking out.

on their Tuesday episode just trish podcast, she begins by prefacing how difficult it is to discuss them because she’s still grappling with the fear she felt from the fights:
“So it’s, like, a little bit of a tough transition, and obviously it’s really hard to talk about, and obviously it’s very sensitive. This is Moses’ family. It’s a hard boundary that we’ve drawn over the last 5 years to never mention Ethan and Hila. Obviously, I’ve gone through a very dark time in 2021, a very horrible psychosis that was definitely the most transformative thing for my brain. It was really, really It was tough. And I think from that point on I was like, ‘I can’t get involved and talk about them anymore.’ And it was really hard, and it was obviously hard for both me and Moses. So we took this decision together for the sake of our mental health.”
She claims that she pleaded with Ethan for a truce, citing his mental health concerns:
“I sent private messages, and I just said, ‘Please, please, like, I’m, like, spiraling. I’m mentally unhealthy. Like, can we end this?’ And I didn’t get any grace or compassion from any of them. And they said, ‘We will never stop.’ You can’t tell us what to do.’ And that’s when I realized, like, this will never stop. And, oh my god, it’s really hard. I haven’t stopped being afraid of them, although I have been living in fear for the last 5 years, just always worried that they will talk about us at any time. And because we made that decision and set boundaries not to talk about them, we could never defend ourselves. It just didn’t make any sense. was from the end of frenemies. It was just lies, and no one wanted to listen to me. Nobody wanted to believe me. For the last 5 years, I have been made fun of for everything.
She then begins to open up specifically about the cheating scandal:
“Everything that’s happened in the past, you know, 72 hours, or whatever. It’s hard. It’s hard to talk about. I’ve seen a lot of people who were wronged by Ethan, you know, obviously, like, celebrating, celebrating. I don’t feel that way about it, obviously, because it is, again, it’s Moses’ family. We have kids the same age. Like, I can’t imagine.”
That said, although she’s certainly not celebrating the breakup of her family, she says she’s ultimately relieved he will no longer be hosting that podcast:
“I kind of felt relieved that maybe it’s over. When they announced the podcast was over, I felt relieved, and it made me really sad, and I’m really embarrassed to say it, because it’s a terrible situation, like, the way it had to end.”
Trisha’s husband Musa then talked about his feelings, he had never opened up about the family feud in public before. He tells his listeners:
“You know, I don’t know, for the drama, for the views, for whatever they were going through, I made a decision to never talk about the family. And, for me it was like, I decided to have no contact with them and the rest of the family because of that, because I said, ‘Okay, I know what I’m not supposed to do, but I can’t control what they’re doing, and it’s hurting my wife. It’s hurting my kids. Is causing harm. The things that are being said are, like, blatant lies that people just believe and go along with, even now, you know, even now with all this. People are still repeating the lies told in the comments. So yes, I have had no contact with Hila for almost five years. So I don’t have anything to say about that. But Ethan, to me, is no longer part of the family. So I can definitely talk about it. First and foremost he did everything he could to destroy my family, and unfortunately he succeeded. And after that he made every effort to destroy his own family and he also succeeded in it.”
Describing how he felt when he read Hila’s statement, he admitted that he became emotional:
“I was in tears as I read my sister’s statement, and, you know, it’s like, even though I don’t talk to her, I don’t hate anyone, and I don’t – you know, I understand where people come from, understand why people do what they do, and it’s unfortunate, but I understand. You know, this is my youngest sister. We were very close, and when I read the statement, I felt the pain, and it It was very, very painful to read and find out what was going on. I had already warned him that he was a liar and a liar.”
He continued:
“So, obviously, something was going to happen, and instead of doing the right thing, he did it completely wrong and got to a point where it was all online for everyone to see, and that’s painful to watch.”
Really a difficult, terrible situation for everyone involved.
