Trisha Paytas and Moses Hacmon have publicly addressed the allegations surrounding Ethan Klein, Hacmon’s brother-in-law, during a recent episode of the ‘Just Trish’ podcast. The couple has been embroiled in a family fallout that has developed since the end of the popular Frenemies podcast, which featured Paytas and Ethan as co-hosts. The tensions escalated further after Hila Klein, Ethan’s wife, made claims of a six-month affair involving her husband.
Moses Hacmon, who is Hila’s older brother, revealed that he has had no contact with her for five years. This estrangement traces back to the fallout associated with the Frenemies podcast, a collaboration that ended amid significant public drama. Despite the public nature of their disputes, Hacmon and Paytas have largely kept their thoughts to themselves in the ensuing years, making their latest comments noteworthy given the context.
During the episode aired on 27 October, Hacmon expressed his decision to avoid any unnecessary family drama. He stated, “I made the decision to never talk about family for, you know, I don’t know, for drama, for views, for whatever it is that they were doing.” He confirmed that the rift with Hila was a deliberate choice and described how the fallout following Frenemies had been particularly hurtful to both him and Paytas.
Addressing the claims made against Ethan, Hacmon accused him of spreading “lies” about the couple at the end of their podcasting collaboration. While both Hacmon and Paytas once actively engaged in public exchanges with Ethan, the couple has since opted for a quieter approach, though they couldn’t resist commenting on these latest developments, especially after Hila’s statements went viral.
Hacmon lamented the impact of the allegations, highlighting the toll they have taken on his family. He stated, “It’s hurting my wife. It’s hurting my children. Stuff that’s being said are, like, blatant lies that people just believe and run with.” He reiterated that despite the familial ties, Ethan no longer feels like a part of his family.
In an emotional moment, Hacmon shared the distress he experienced upon reading Hila’s recent Instagram post, in which she expressed feelings of betrayal after her husband’s alleged infidelity was made public. “The betrayal I feel is immeasurable,” Hila had written, expressing deep sorrow about losing the partner she had relied upon for twenty years.
While he refrained from commenting directly about Hila, Hacmon felt compelled to speak on Ethan’s behaviour. “At first, he did everything he could to destroy my family, and he was successful at that, unfortunately,” Hacmon reflected, showcasing the severity of the rift and its consequences.
Moreover, he acknowledged that he had previously cautioned Hila about Ethan’s character but understood her position, saying, “I don’t expect her to choose her brother over her husband.” In the wake of the public revelations, Hacmon has opted for continued silence on personal matters, yet he asserts, “We don’t wish it on anyone. But my choice to be in no contact will remain.”
As the podcast episode concluded, the couple’s reflections on their familial ties underlined a broader narrative of loyalty and the complexities of navigating relationships publically and privately. The fallout from the Frenemies podcast continues to reverberate, causing deep divides not only in professional spaces but also within personal lives, as illustrated by Hacmon and Paytas’s account.
Ultimately, this unfolding saga serves as a reminder of the intricate dynamics of relationships within the entertainment industry, where personal disagreements can become fodder for public discourse. As both couples navigate their strained ties, many will be watching closely to see whether reconciliation is ever possible, or if the divide is too great to bridge.
