YouTuber Ethan Klein got the boot from the H3 Podcast after his wife and co-host, Hila Klein, called him out for cheating on her.
“I am living a nightmare I can’t wake up from,” Hila posted on Instagram late Thursday. “My husband has been having an affair. I have been fed lie after lie after lie for months. Here is the truth.”
Hila shared that she had doubts about Ethan, but when she tried to talk to him about what was bothering her, he just brushed her off and didn’t do anything about it.
“Eventually, he was caught in a lie, and I knew I was done. But the lies continued. ‘It was just a kiss’ became ‘it was emotional cheating,’” she continued. “After I dragged these lies from him, he finally admitted he’d been in an affair for over 6 months, the extent of which I’m sure I still don’t know.”
The remarks were issued several hours following Ethan Klein’s, 41, declaration that he and his partner would be suspending their H3 Podcast program for an indefinite duration, during which he expressed gratitude to their audience for their forbearance while declining to provide additional context.

“As soon as we found out, we all agreed: we would not continue working with Ethan involved or profiting in any way,” they stated on Instagram. “We don’t yet know what that means for the future. There’s a lot to work through, and we wish we had more answers for you. We all deserved better: Hila, us, and you.”
