POPULAR YouTube stars Trisha Paytas and Ethan Klein both have successful careers, but over the years, those careers have caused a feud.
Now fans want to know what happened and why they have beef with each other.
What happened between Trisha Paytas and Ethan Klein?
Paytas and Klein have been in the spotlight for years and so has their public feud, which dates back to 2019.
The drama first began after Klein called out Paytas in a video where he looked at how heavily edited some social media pictures are.
In the video, which has since been viewed over 12million times, he referred to Paytas as the “spokesperson for Instagram vs Reality,” later criticizing the number of edits.
“Why are you even a model if you’re going to modify your looks that much?” he asked, via Insider.
“It’s like beauty queen to WWF wrestler in two seconds. You cannot photoshop your heart and soul — remember that.”
Paytas later hit back on Twitter, calling him a “disgusting piece of s***.”
“hey @h3h3productions — you are a disgusting piece of s***,” they wrote at the time.

“Your recent video is not only predatory — it’s also HARMFUL to young girls.”
At the time Paytas also dragged his wife, Hila Klein, into the drama by telling the expected mother to “divorce him ASAP.”
“I would divorce him ASAP as he is causing so much damage to young women,” they wrote in a separate tweet, via Insider.
“It’s actually SICKENING. I’ve never been more disgusted. That you stand by him is even more disgusting.”
However, the drama did not stop there and the two were back at it a few months later when Paytas posted another video coming out as transgender, female-to-male.
At the time, they received a lot of hate from the LGBTQ+ community, who believed they were joking about transgender issues.
Klein was among the users to call her out, stating on his podcast that they are “f***ing insane.”
Paytas later took down the video and posted an apology video.
Klein also posted another video, mocking Paytas’.
“I wanted to basically apologize to Trisha Paytas, who is such a sweet, genuine person,” Klein said, via Insider.
“I wanted to, first of all, apologize for saying that she looked like she was at an open casket funeral, she was the corpse inside of a casket … You’re so beautiful you’re such a queen.”
“Sorry for saying that you’re not a trans man, even though you have F cup jugs that are always on display,” he added.
“Mostly I just want to apologize to Trisha and say that she’s really hot and definitely doesn’t look like she’s been passed around as much as a bowling ball.”
However, in a shocking turn of events, the pair seemingly set aside their past and became friends, the Kleins even went as far as starting a Bachelorette-style show to help her find love but things got weird when they revealed that they were in a relationship with Klein’s brother-in-law, Moses Hacmon.

The drama lasted a couple of months but seemed to calm down when Klein and Paytas started the Frenemies podcast.
During that time, Paytas and Hacmon also got engaged.
But then again, more drama happened in June 2021 when Paytas quit the podcast over ownership disputes, Insider reported.
The feud has since continued with an array of back-and-forth videos.
Klein also brought back the popular podcast, just without Paytas.
Where is Trisha Paytas now?
Outside of her feud with Klein, Paytas has been focusing on her relationship with Hacmon.
The two officially tied the knot in 2021 and are now expecting their first child.
They are also still active on social media, updating fans about their life regularly.
The celebrity couple also created a YouTube channel dedicated to their family, which has since gained over 1.4million subscribers.
Klein has also stayed out of the spotlight but continues to post content across all of his social media pages.
