Trisha Paytas accuses Ethan Klein of lying amid Frenemies drama
After Ethan Klein posted a video responding to Trisha’s sudden exit from the Frenemies podcast, Trisha has claimed that their co-host “lied” about what was said behind the scenes.
Ethan and Trisha’s unlikely partnership made the Frenemies podcast a wild success, uploading 39 episodes that featured the pair discussing the week’s biggest drama, playing games, and more.
But the show came to an abrupt end on June 8 as a result of episode 39, when Trisha and Ethan got into a tense conversation about production costs, along with Trisha claiming they “didn’t get input” on who the team hires.
Trisha subsequently announced via a YouTube video that they would be leaving the show, with Ethan sayinghe’s “gutted” over the whole situation.Trisha went onto apologize to the team, claimingthey felt “embarrassed.”
I apologize to Ethan, Dan , Ian and Sam – like I really do. It’s embarrassing and I’m embarrassed. And most of all you guys – like it was cool af to be back in a popular group for just being me. Like love and positivity always feels good. And this right now , does not. I’m sorry

However, Trisha has now uploaded a series of videos titled ‘Ethan’s Lies’ in which they reacted to theH3H3 star’s own videoaddressing the situation.
“I can only share the truth, I can only speak my truth. I’m embarrassed, I’m upset, I regret a lot of the past 48 hours, but if there’s just blatant lies, I have to just go through it,” they said.
At one point in Ethan’s video, he claimed that Trisha “wanted to fire everybody, and get new staff,” which Trisha immediately denied. “Ethan is a piece of sh*t, a piece of garbage that I swear on my life like before this started I was like, ‘damn, I lost a really good friend,’ but you are such a liar,” they responded.

The YouTuber went on to say: “It’s so fked up to lie on that. Show me, show me a text where I’m like ‘fire the crew,’ a conversation, like that’s so fked and twisted. Just because I’ve had issues with them, just because I’ve said I don’t vibe with them, I don’t like their sense of humor, I’ve never said fire people, are you f**king kidding me right now?”

I assure u he does not. He listed the initial set costs and new. cameras.and his employees were on salary long before frenemies. I wish we put some of the 100% of highlights he keeps (which he never even mentioned) towards productions costs. That would be dope.https://t.co/jjQ9c3HKIs

It’s not clear what the future holds for the Frenemies podcast, and while some fans hope there may be a reconciliation, many think that this could be the end of the popular show.
