The “H3 Podcast,” the show co-hosted by Ethan and Hila Klein, is on indefinite hiatus after Hila said he has been having an ongoing affair for the last six months and that the couple has separated.
In response to Hila Klein’s allegations, which she posted late Thursday on Instagram, the production crew of “H3 Podcast” said they unanimously agreed that they would no longer work with Ethan Klein.
In her IG post, Hila wrote, “I am living a nightmare I can’t wake up from. My husband has been having an affair. I have been fed lie after lie after lie for months. Here is the truth.”
She continued: I could sense something was wrong
She continued: “I could sense something was wrong. I tried to ask him questions and share my concerns and hurt feelings. But I was met with dismissive answers and no action. Things that bothered me continued to bother me, and he did nothing about it. So I trusted him. Because I loved him. I stopped questioning him and began to question myself, my own instincts. My sanity.”

According to Hila Klein, “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.’ 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 H3 crew, in a statement posted on Instagram, said, “We stand with Hila and will support her every step of the way. We’re disgusted by Ethan’s actions and the hurt he has caused. We all deserved better: Hila, us, and you.”
Variety has reached out to Ethan Klein for comment.
Ethan and Hila Klein, through their H3H3 Productions, have been collaborating as content creators since 2011, when they first launched their YouTube channel. The L.A.-based couple started the “H3 Podcast” in late 2016. On YouTube, the podcast currently has 2.5 million subscribers.
