Hank Green announces cancer is in remission three months after diagnosis YouTube: vlogbrothersIconic Vlog Brother and NYT bestselling author Hank Green has announced his cancer is now in remission three months after his shock Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diagnosis. Almost three months ago to the day, on May 19, veteran internet personality Hank Green revealed his cancer diagnosis in a YouTube video. At the time, he explained how issues with enlarged lymph nodes soon led to a routine checkup. It was from a scan during said checkup that his Hodgkin’s Lymphoma was made clear. Now, three months on from this shocking revelation, Green is able to ring the bell. In a follow-up TikTok on August 21, the content creator shared the amazing news with fans, revealing his cancer is now in remission. “I had my first post-treatment follow-up with my oncologist today,” Green said. “As of today, I am officially in complete remission. Which means I kinda don’t have cancer anymore.” Over the three-month window, Green was subject to a multi-pronged treatment plan to fight the cancerous cells in his system. This plan is “based on a lot of research, a lot of evidence, a lot of hard work, and a lot of people going through similar things,” he outlined. “With mine, it was chemotherapy then radiation, which I finished about a week ago.” And now, it’s clear the hard work and challenging months paid off, as Green is entirely rid of his cancer. As for the next steps, as with any similar diagnosis, there’s always a chance of relapse, though with Green’s particular case of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, he claimed there’s a “pretty low risk” in his situation. “We have another scan in three months to follow up, then we keep a really close eye on it.” Though if the cancer should return, Green is more than up to the task of fighting it again, saying with a smile “We’ll take that on too!” For now, given the extent of his treatment, Green is still recovering for the immediate future, fighting against symptoms of “pain, fatigue, anxiety” and a “few other unpleasant” additions to the list as well. But obviously, having come out the other side, the social media star is over the moon with the “very good” news.

Hamlinz unveils details of Twitch return after 18-month hiatus – Dexerto
Hamlinz unveils details of Twitch return after 18-month hiatus YouTube: Thoom HouseAfter being absent on Twitch for almost two years, Darryle ‘Hamlinz’ Hamlin announced his emphatic return to the platform, and it’s happening soon. Here’s everything you need to know. Hamlinz once had a huge presence on the internet alongside his friend and fellow streamer Daequan ‘Daequan’ Loco. However, both of them vanished (other than the odd social media post) for two years. But after teasing their return in a cryptic message, they finally came back and announced they’d joined NRG. In addition, they formed the Thoom House YouTube Channel and confirmed their Twitch return was imminent. Daequan’s return stream happened on September 5. He opened up about his health issues and other things. And now, a little more than a week later, Hamlinz is following suit with his own return locked in. Hamlinz announces Twitch return Hamlinz is returning to Twitch on September 12 at 8PM PST, a week after Daequan’s re-debut. “March 2020, the last time I streamed on Twitch,” he said. “The past couple of years have been hard for all of us in the Twitch community. Ear licking, hot tub streams, gambling, dudes leaving, and dudes coming back without capture cards.” “But now it’s time for a new era of streaming, and I know the perfect guy to help get it started,” he added, referring to himself. https://twitter.com/NRG_Hamlinz/status/1436795849401520131?s=20 How to watch Hamlinz’ Twitch return If you want to watch the stream, all you need to do is tune into his Twitch channel, which can be found here, once the stream goes live. Don’t get tricked into checking out his TSM account — he changed his name when he joined NRG. And of course, if you happen to miss it, you can watch the VOD in the Past Broadcasts section of his channel too and experience it all the same. Twitch has been losing streamers left, right, and center in the past few years. Look no further than Benjamin ‘DrLupo’ Lupo and Timothy ‘TimTheTatman’ Betar. But having him and Daequan back is a huge win for the platform.

Hamlinz, KEEMSTAR and more defend Dellor after controversial Twitch partnership removal – Dexerto
Hamlinz, KEEMSTAR and more defend Dellor after controversial Twitch partnership removal Hamlinz / Dellor – TwitchFormer Overwatch pro Matthew ‘Dellor’ Vaughan came back from his Twitch ban at the end of May but did so without a sub button, and many other streamers have come to his defense and asked Twitch for clarification. Dellor was originally suspended indefinitely from Twitch following controversial comments but later had it shortened to 30 days. However, when he came back to streaming, he found out he no longer had a sub button, meaning the number one source of income for him was nowhere to be seen, and he’s been looking for answers ever since. Dellor came under fire for racist and sexist comments. People are concerned More than a month later, various personalities are speaking out for him after becoming concerned about his mental health. Dellor has still been streaming on Twitch since his unban, but fans have been noticing that something is off, and it led to TSM member Darryle ‘Hamlinz‘ Hamlin to speak out. “Hey beautiful people at Twitch is there any way we can get a higher up to contact Dellor or I about his Partnership situation?” he asked. “I’m worried about him mentally and all he wants is clarification.” Hey beautiful people at @twitch is there anyway we can get a higher up to contact @dellorlol or I about his Partnership situation? Im worried about him mentally and all he wants is clarification :pig_face::black_heart: PLEASE RT — Hamlinz :pig_face: (@TSM_Hamlinz) June 30, 2019 In response to Hamlinz’s tweet, several other personalities showed concern for Dellor and wanted Twitch to give some sort of statement about why he no longer has his partnership. “A simple response to let him know whether or not it’s possible for him to EARN his partnership back would really help his mental state,” said TSM member Maria ‘Chica’ Lopez. “Coming from a friend who is very concerned about his wellbeing. Some clarity would be greatly appreciated.” A simple response to let him know whether or not it’s possible for him to EARN his partnership back would really help his mental state.

I don’t really know what I’m doing anymore, sorry guys.” might take some time off. i still have no idea what my future is going to be and im going through a lot of shit that makes it really hard to focus on the stream. i dont really know what im doing anymore sorry guys — dellor (@dellorlol) June 22, 2019 He continued, saying that he has been going to therapy and received a diagnosis. “I have gone through a few therapy sessions now and have so far been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety,” Dellor tweeted. “I am going to continue working with my doctor to figure everything out and to make changes. Thanks for the continued support, howards.” i have gone through a few therapy sessions now and have so far been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety. i am going to continue working with my doctor to figure everything out and to make changes. thanks for the continued support, howards. — dellor (@dellorlol) June 23, 2019 With more than a month passing by without Twitch saying anything, Dellor felt like all hope was lost about an explanation. However, given the reach Hamlinz’s tweet had, we might end up getting clarification after all.

Halsey is a hugely popular singer known for albums like ‘Badlands’ and ‘If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power,’ and like many other celebrities, they also have a significant following on TikTok, with 4.5 million followers. In a TikTok posted on May 22, Halsey posted a video to her account, in which she explained via captions: “Basically, I have a song that I love that I wanna release ASAP, but my record label won’t let me. I’ve been in this industry for 8 years, and I’ve sold over 165 million records, and my record company is saying that I can’t release it unless they can fake a viral moment on TikTok. “Everything is marketing.

I’m tired.” Click here if TikTok doesn’t load The video immediately caught fans’ attention, with over a million likes at the time of writing, though one comment with nearly 50,000 likes suggested: “This is the viral marketing video…” Halsey responded shortly after, saying: “Bruh I wish it was haha. They just said I have to post TikTok they didn’t specifically say “about what” so here I am.” Over on Twitter, the star continued to update fans on the situation, and said that despite their label having a positive reaction to the virality of her video, they still didn’t confirm that they’d be able to release it yet.

Hamlinz addresses streaming absence: “I’m feeling depressed again” – Dexerto
Hamlinz addresses streaming absence: “I’m feeling depressed again” YouTube, NRG Thoom HouseTwitch streamer Hamlinz has revealed that his recent absence from streaming was due to feelings of depression, and that the Thoom House was officially over. After more than two months of streaming since November 5, 2021, Hamlinz explained that his hiatus was due to his mental health, and being too embarrassed to share any of that with fans. Following his apology, he gave more insight into his current situation and confirmed that the Thoom House was “no more” during a Twitch stream. Hamlinz attributes streaming absence to poor mental health The truth is I’m feeling depressed again and I was embarrassed to say anything to you guys/girls, my bad I should have let yall know I needed a bit of a break. People are definitely reaching calling me a scammer etc, ima make a alt acc to stream on so its less pressure. LOVE U 🐷 — Hamlinz 🐷 (@NRG_Hamlinz) January 16, 2022 “The truth is I’m feeling depressed again and I was embarrassed to say anything to you guys/girls, my bad I should have let yall know I needed a bit of a break,” Hamlinz told fans on Twitter. “People are definitely reaching calling me a scammer etc, ima make an alt acc to stream on so it’s less pressure. LOVE U.” Along with thousands of fans wishing Hamz well, Andy Miller, CEO of NRG replied “No Scam. All love” to Hamlinz’s Tweet, apparently confirming he was still very much a part of the org as well. In addition to making the announcement on Twitter about his mental health, Hamlinz also went live on Twitch on January 16 — his first stream since November 5. It wasn’t on his main account though, but his “smallmanbigworld” alt instead. “I’m f***king depressed. I don’t know, ya’ll know how it is though,” the streamer told chat. “You’ll think you’re good one moment, then the next moment your not. The worst part about that is? It’s embarrassing dude.” Hamlinz says NRG Thoom House is gone During the stream, Hamlinz also explained why the Thoom House was no longer a thing, in part thanks to sub-par internet and other problems with the house itself. “There’s a lot of reasons why there’s no more Thoom House man, the main reason is the internet was f***king dog***t, everything was wrong with the house,” he explained. “There was a lot of problems, like disagreements with NRG, the editing, and how we’re supposed to do the content.” While the concept was a creation by Hamlinz and Daequan, it was still backed by NRG, who would have had the final say in anything that happened on the channel. “It was our idea for the channel, but at the end of the day it was NRG’s channel,” he said. “The Thoom House channel wasn’t ours, after the Thoom House was gone, that’s their channel, we can’t post on that channel no more if we leave NRG.” Despite there being no more Thoom House, fans seemed relieved Hamlinz is back streaming on Twitch. Finally, he said he would be streaming more, but on his alternate channel instead of his main one.

Hall & Oates leaves fans shocked with lawsuit and restraining order – Dexerto
Hall & Oates leaves fans shocked with lawsuit and restraining order Wikimedia Commons, Raph_PHIn a new report, Daryl Hall filed both a lawsuit and restraining order against his longtime musical collaborator John Oates, and fans are left shell-shocked. One of the greatest bands of all time, Hall & Oates has given pop some of the greatest songs ever. From “Rich Girl” and “Maneater” to “Private Eyes” and “Out of Touch,” the duo knew how to deliver a hook and get the body moving. Over the years, the duo continued to collaborate and often performed solo, venturing off to explore their own respective muses. However, their on-again, off-again feud is almost as legendary as their biggest hits. Things appear to have turned even further south with the latest development. Daryl Hall files lawsuit and restraining order against John Oates According to TMZ, Daryl Hall has filed a lawsuit claiming his collaborator John Oates is in breach of their contract. What’s even more, Hall also filed a restraining order against Oates. It’s unclear what the lawsuit involves, although many speculate it could be over royalties or some other joint clause, or why a restraining order is even necessary. On November 22, Fans swiftly took to Twitter/X to express their dismay, anger, and confusion. “This Hall & Oates rift changes everything,” wrote one fan. “Hall & Oates are fighting?” another posted, sharing a video clip with the words “I beg you, please stop!” “Smh Hall & Oates can’t be beefing they gave us bangers,” one user lamented, attaching a video performance of “Rich Girl.” Another wondered about which side to take, writing, “Lemme find out I’ma have to take sides in this Hall & Oates mess.” “Welp, I guess the next Hall & Oates tour will be,” one fan joked with a photo of “just oats” on an oatmeal container. “Somebody get the paddles to repair that stab to my 80s lovin’ heart,” quipped Bertha Coombs. “@KellyCNBC is too young to know who Hall & Oates are… there’s got to be a maneater joke in there, somewhere.” Another fan still hasn’t picked their jaw up off the floor, as they wrote, “What’s the f***ing world coming to when Hall & Oates can’t even get along. Let’s just enjoy this epic photo and think about better times.” Many fans also made “Out of Touch” jokes. As of this writing, all specific details surrounding the lawsuit and restraining order are unknown.

Halle Berry slams Drake for record cover using her image without permission – Dexerto
Halle Berry slams Drake for record cover using her image without permission Instagram: champagnepapi / Instagram: halleberryDrake recently released an alternative cover for his upcoming record featuring Halle Berry doused in slime, and the actress was less than impressed. After briefly dating in 2008, Drake is collaborating with his old boo, SZA, for his latest single, Slime You Out. With the song released a week ahead of Drake’s new album, For All The Dogs, the rapper shared an alternative cover promoting his newest single that featured Halle Berry. Taken at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, the photo showed the Oscar-winning actress getting slimed — and it turns out she was not happy to find out he had used it. Seemingly addressing Drake’s use of the photo, Berry posted an ambiguous quote to Instagram that read; “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy… even if you’re a woman!” When one person asked about the situation with the album and what Berry’s thoughts on it were, she responded, “Didn’t get my permission. That’s not cool, I thought better of him!” She then confirmed that the post was in fact aimed at Drake, writing, “When people you admire disappoint you, you have to be the bigger person and move on!” While some claimed that Drake most likely paid Getty Images for the photo and therefore had permission to use it, Berry argued that it was about “principles and integrity” — and her fans were quick to defend her. “Y’all she has every right to be mad. It’s simple courtesy. It’s her picture and permission is needed,” one person wrote. Another said, “These comments are so gross, Drake fans are not it.” Neither Drake nor SZA have yet responded to Berry’s claims. Check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Haliey Welch moved to tears during $30K paid appearance as Hawk Tuah girl Instagram: hay_welchThe viral ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl, real name Haliey Welch, was reportedly paid in the five figure range for her first club appearance in Hollywood, FL. Haliey Welch, better known as the Hawk Tuah girl who instantly went viral for her interview with Tim & Dee TV, had her first paid club appearance on Sunday, July 7, in Hollywood, Florida. While she had reportedly been paid for appearances at various locations in NYC, her pop-out in Hollywood seemed to have had an emotional impact on Welch. During a video of her celebrations at the Daer Dayclub at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Welch was moved to tears as bottle service girls held up a sign that read, “Congrats on one million Haliey.” As champagne popped and sparklers lit up the daylight, Welch soaked up the attention for reaching over 1M Instagram followers on her Instagram account, ‘hay_welch.’ She even cashed in on her first club appearance with a reported $30K. Not only was she there enjoying the limelight, but she was also a judge in the Miss Daer bikini contest. In a video shared to her IG, Welch expressed her gratitude for her fans and newfound fame. “I love all of y’all! Thank you for one million followers,” she wrote. Welch’s fanbase responded to her video by saying they love to see girls win and congratulated her for her success. Though $30K is a whopping amount for just one appearance, Welch also made over $65K from her merchandise collaboration with Fatheads. Though she’s seen her viral fame reach new heights, Welch continues to impress with every move she makes. She even wants to have her own reality TV show and has hired a manager and attorney to handle her PR and legal matters.

Haliey Welch was “embarassed” to leave house after viral Hawk Tuah fame – Dexerto
Haliey Welch was “embarassed” to leave house after viral Hawk Tuah fame Facebook: Page SixThough she’s been able to monumentally profit off of her viral fame, Haliey Welch admitted she was “embarrassed” to show her face the following week after her Hawk Tuah interview was released by Tim & Dee TV. While the internet continues to launch everyday people into stardom like Haliey Welch, also known as the Hawk Tuah girl, the fame can oftentimes be overwhelming – especially when the reason for going viral is based on an inappropriate interview answer. Haliey proved to be no different from those who weren’t so sure of what to think about their instant fame. In a viral clip from Page Six, she explained how “embarrassed” she was when her Hawk Tuah video initially circulated the internet in June. “So the first week, after the first video, I was like, ‘Ok, well, you know it’s just one video – whatever,’” Haliey said. “He kept going on and posting me, and I was not really doing well the first week,” she admitted as she shook her head. “Me and my friend Chelsea both, we did not take that well the first week. Like, I was embarrassed to come out of my house, go to work, anything else,” she said. She went on to say that after that first week of shellshock, she grew to be “unfazed” by the viral fame that she seemingly could not control. Haliey added that she quickly hired an attorney so that other people weren’t the only ones profiting off of her viral interview with Tim & Dee TV. Now, she has her own merchandise and has even gotten paid $30K for a club appearance where she celebrated gaining 1M Instagram followers on her account, hay_welch. She even used her 15 minutes of fame for good by donating PetSmart food and supplies for animals at her local animal shelter.

Tfue runs to Corinna Kopf’s rescue after stream fail – Dexerto
Tfue runs to Corinna Kopf’s rescue after stream fail Corinna Kopf Twitch / TwitterTwitch superstar Turner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney nearly revealed too much of himself after appearing on his online celebrity ex-girlfriend Corinna Kopf’s stream without clothes. After having publicly ended their relationship back in early July, Tfue and Corinna have seemingly agreed to become what is commonly known as friends with benefits. While they haven’t come out and said that they’re back together, neither is trying to hide the fact that they’re still seeing each other, or pretending otherwise. Case in point – on August 23, while Corinna was streaming live on Twitch, the Fortnite icon came into view of her facecam, and he didn’t look like he had any clothes on. Read More: Tfue rage-quits Twitch Rivals Fortnite event – In fact, the only thing standing between him and total birthday suit was a giant pillow covering his private areas, oh and the Instagram star draped all over his shoulders. Now, most seeing this would probably be wondering what set of developments led to a half-nude Tfue appearing on his ex-girlfriend’s livestream. While streaming, Corinna was having some audio issues, so she ended up switching over to Tfue’s station for better quality, but there was still work that needed to be done. Who better to help with these issues than one of the biggest streamers in the world, who slid into view with an incredibly sheepish green and helped saved the day. Video starts at 1:28 mark for mobile users. For anyone who was unsure about whether Tfue and Corinna were still seeing each other, this intimate sequence live on her stream should definitely put those doubts to bed. While he was fixing her audio issues, she was draped all over his body, and at one point even playfully threatened to rip away the pillow to “display” what he was hiding behind it. And even when he stood up to go to bed, she started tickling and touching him intimately, as he ran away giggling “Ah, don’t touch that!” Let’s face it, whether they want to admit it or not, the power couple are back together and everything seems so right about it.

Haliey Welch denies industry plant claims after “hawk tuah” phrase goes viral – Dexerto
Haliey Welch denies industry plant claims after “hawk tuah” phrase goes viral Instagram: Hay_WelchHaliey Welch, known as the girl behind the viral “hawk tuah” catchphrase, has denied claims that she’s an industry plant in a new video. In June 2024, A viral clip from Tim and Dee TV showed the interviewers talking to a woman on the streets of Nashville, Tennessee. During the interview, a question sparked the now-viral “hawk tuah” catchphrase that took over the internet. Days of searching revealed that the “hawk tuah girl” was Haliey Welch, who remained rather quiet until doing a podcast with YouTuber Brianna Lapaglia and re-joining social media. There have been claims from various users online that Welch is an “industry plant” due to her sudden rise in fame, but the viral sensation has since denied them in a video on Instagram. “I’m not an industry plant, it was not planned,” she said. “Every bit of it was just there, right in the moment. I had to ask what [industry plant] meant.” She also reiterated that she wasn’t fired from a preschool due to the viral clip, making it quite clear that she’s never worked at one in the first place. Haliey did work at a factory that makes springs but said she quit that job to travel. She’s been busy since the initial Tim and Dee TV interview, however. During her interview with Lapaglia, she revealed plans to release a show about her life after the “life changing” street interview – but not before she does a few podcasts to talk about her newfound stardom. She also met up with NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, who gave the woman “gracious” life advice while hanging out together. Haliey Welch isn’t the first to be suspected of being an “industry plant” after receiving sudden viral fame online. Back in 2023, Bobby Altoff rose in popularity after her podcasts with Drake, Lil Yachty, and more took over social media, sparking similar accusations.

Hailey Bieber’s pregnancy craving goes viral as she asks fans not judge her food choice – Dexerto
Hailey Bieber’s pregnancy craving goes viral as she asks fans not judge her food choice Instagram: haileybieberSoon-to-be mother Hailey Bieber shared what she’s been craving since being pregnant, and fans are more than interested in the “fire” snack. On May 9, Hailey and Justin Bieber announced they were expecting their first child together. The couple shared a joint Instagram post with her growing baby bump as they renewed their vows in Hawaii. The model and musician have been married since September 2018 after they wed in a courthouse ceremony. Weeks later, they had a more extravagant wedding in South Carolina where they were joined by friends and family. Though she’s speculated to have hidden her pregnancy for at least six months, this is Hailey’s first pregnancy, so she’s been documenting her experience since her and Justin’s announcement. In a post to her IG story on May 15, the soon-to-be mother shared her biggest pregnancy craving. “Currently my biggest craving. Egg salad on top of a pickle with hot sauce.” The model added, “ And no, you’re not allowed to judge!!” With her craving being such an interesting concoction, fans had a lot to say about it and many want to try it themselves. “I ain’t pregnant, but I would still try it,” wrote one fan. “That sounds delicious to me and my babies are over 30,” agreed another. While others called her snack “fire” and “delicious,” there were some netizens who weren’t so sure about how tasty it would be. “We are so judging you,” quipped one viewer — despite Hailey asking social media not to do so. However, the support continued to overshadow the negative comments, as some suggested she ignore the haters and that it was a “normal” thing to eat. Hailey also posted a montage of photos to IG on the same day, detailing what’s been currently up in life. In most of the pictures, she captured her bumbin’ belly, and fans were happy to see her embracing motherhood. “Finally the pregnancy photos that we deserve,” applauded one. “Living for the belly,” added another. Though sources revealed she is six months along, Hailey hasn’t confirmed just yet when her due date is.

Hair by Chrissy under fire after Dixie D’Amelio’s hair falls out – Dexerto
Hair by Chrissy under fire after Dixie D’Amelio’s hair falls out Instagram: @hairby_chrissyTikToker and hair stylist ‘Hair by Chrissy’ is coming under fire, yet again, after Dixie D’Amelio claimed her hair was falling out due to her new extensions — and while she never said who they were from, it seems the internet has already chosen its preferred target. [jwplayer ZXB9LNVP] Dixie D’Amelio showed off her brand-new hair color in a Tweet on October 20, going from her usual deep black to a gray/white look that caused fans to flip out and inspired us all to get a little daring with our everyday style. However, there’s more than her new hair color that’s stirring up the TikTok world; in an October 15 podcast episode with sister Charli, Dixie admitted that her hair is falling out after getting pricey new extensions from a shop that she carefully declined to name. “I don’t know if my hair is falling out, but I think it’s falling out from them,” she admitted. “So I’m like, kinda scared. I’m losing hair, but it’s connected to the extension… there’s like white pieces all at the end of each piece of hair.” “Now I’m like, really concerned,” she continued. “Like, does it look bad? I’m scared.” (Topic begins at 0:50) Although Dixie never shared where she received her new extensions — which she claimed had a hefty price tag — internet detectives are pointing the finger at Hair by Chrissy, a fellow TikToker and hair stylist who has come under fire recently for alleged discrimination and other faulty business practices. In fact, her salon posted Dixie’s before and after photos from her appointment with them to Instagram (although it’s worth noting that all comments are currently disabled). https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnG6FTl6TW/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Chrissy’s salon has also received quite a few negative reviews from customers over extensions, with one reviewer claiming that “this salon is not just so overpriced for crappy hair extensions and color, but also leave you with dry, damaged hair in the end.” Another wrote, “Extensions don’t look blended at all, and she doesn’t give a crap about you unless you have TikTok followers.” Considering all the hullabaloo surrounding Chrissy, many fans of Charli and Dixie are hitting out at the stylist on social media, predicting an end to her business in the near future. “Are we surprised?” one commenter said of the situation. “No. That’s the service you get when you go to a place that’s racist and doesn’t know how to do hair well.” “Hair by crispy,” several others joked. Although Dixie is clearly trying to avoid any hair drama, fans are certainly convinced that Chrissy is to blame for her faulty extensions as more viewers point the finger at the controversial stylist.

Hailey Bieber shuts down rumors she ‘stole’ Justin Bieber from Selena Gomez – Dexerto
Hailey Bieber shuts down rumors she ‘stole’ Justin Bieber from Selena Gomez INSTAGRAM: callherdaddy/haileybieberHailey Bieber has denied the rumors that she ‘stole’ her husband Justin Bieber from Selena Gomez when they were dating. During her appearance on the ‘Call Her Daddy‘ podcast, 26-year-old model insisted to host Alexis Cooper that Justin had not cheated on Selena with her. “Okay, let’s just put it this way,” Hailey told the host. “When him and I started like hooking up or like anything of that sort, he was not ever in a relationship ever at any point.” Hailey Bieber denies claims she stole Justin Bieber from Selena Gomez “I would never—it’s not my character to mess with someone’s relationship. I would just never do that. I was raised better than that. I’m not interested in doing that, and I never was,” Hailey stressed. Hailey and Justin first sparked dating rumors in late 2014, and would split more than a year later, before reconciling and tying the knot in 2018, months after Justin and his then-girlfriend Selena called it quits. “I can say period point-blank, I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody,” the model revealed. “That’s the end of it. And I had been involved with him since I was 18.” “I understand how it looks from the outside and there’s a lot of perception there, but that was a situation where I know for a fact that it was the right thing for them to close that door,” she said. Hailey Bieber on receiving hate from Selena and Justin fans When Justin and Selena dated on and off for nearly a decade, fans of both artists felt emotionally invested in their ‘Jelena’ romance. Shortly after they broke up and he moved on with Hailey, she became the main target of online backlash and fan conspiracies. “A lot of the hate comes from like ‘oh you stole him’ and the fact that he wished he ended up with someone else,” Hailey explained. “And that’s fine, you can wish that all you want, but it’s not the case.” “There’s a certain numbness that you get,” she said of coming across hate comments and posts from ‘Jelena’ fans. The model acknowledged that she still receives hates to this day. “It still happens to this day, if I was to go live right now, it would still be happening.

Hailey Bieber sparks backlash for ‘brownie glazed lips’ TikTok trend – Dexerto
Hailey Bieber sparks backlash for ‘brownie glazed lips’ TikTok trend TIKTOK: haileybieberHailey Bieber’s viral ‘brownie glazed lips’ TikTok beauty trend has sparked backlash, with many accusing the model of cultural appropriation. Earlier this month, Hailey shared her fall makeup look on TikTok with the caption, “ready for all the fall things including brownie glazed lips.” In the video with over 3.2 million views, the model can be seen wearing the glossy lip look, created by using a brown lip liner on her top and bottom lip line, and applying some clear lip gloss all over her lip. She also posted a tutorial video on how to create the trendy look, which went viral with over 15.7 million views. Initially, fans loved the look, and many TikTok users shared their own videos recreating the ‘brownie glazed lips’ while crediting Hailey. However, the 25-year-old is now being accused of “cultural appropriation.” While Hailey didn’t claim to have invented the effect, she also didn’t mention that women of color have been rocking the same look for over 20 years. As a result, many people took to social media to call her out for “culturally appropriating” the makeup technique by failing to credit the source of inspiration for the look. Hailey Bieber faces backlash over ‘brownie gazed lips’ TikTok trend In a clip that has amassed over 2.7 million views, TikToker ‘Benulus’ said that she constantly receives negative comments about her own glossy brown lip look before taking aim at Hailey. “Y’all sh*t on my lips every single time I post. But a white woman does it, it’s gonna become a trend,” she said. “Yeah, I’m so flattered that Hailey Bieber always gets inspired by my community, by the POC community, but it just irks me that because she’s done it now, it’s gonna become so trendy.” In another video, TikToker Iris Beilin sarcastically captioned her video: “Wow!!! I have never seen something like this!!! #brownieglazedlips.” “This is innovative,” she joked, throwing shade at Hailey without mentioning her name, while still making her feelings about the trend clear. Many users have now left sarcastic comments under Hailey’s viral ‘brownie glazed lip’ tutorial video. “Okay, what’s the name of the Latina you saw with this lip combo?” questioned one commenter. “Because this has been a thing since the 90’s lol.” “This was chola lipstick in the 90’s,” said another comment. “Love the Chicana look.” “Laughs in Hispanic,” one user joked, while another quipped, “Totally not cultural appropriation.” Other critics highlighted the fact that branding the look ‘brownie glazed lips’ was problematic because the video was made to help sell Hailey’s products, meaning she was partly profiting off a trend created by women of color. As of now, Hailey has yet to remove the TikTok videos from her account or respond to the allegations of cultural appropriation.

Hailey Bieber pleads for TikTok harassment to stop: “Please leave me alone” – Dexerto
Hailey Bieber pleads for TikTok harassment to stop: “Please leave me alone” TikTok: haileybieberJustin Bieber’s wife Hailey has posted a somber video to TikTok, begging users to “leave her alone” in her comments. Hailey (who is also the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin) and Justin got married in September 2018 after dating for around two years, and have been one of the most talked-about couples in Hollywood ever since. As a result of their fame and immense popularity, though, comes a lot of scrutiny and hate, both online and off, and situations like these are always in danger of being exacerbated due to social media. TikTok has been often a tough place for celebrities or people that pick up a lot of attention — even Taio Cruz was “bullied off” the app, saying “never in my life have I had a more negative experience than my past few days on here.” While Hailey no doubt receives a lot of positive comments on her videos, the negative ones are clearly getting to her. “Leave me alone at this point,” she said in the 20-second video. “I’m minding my business, I don’t say anything, I don’t do anything. Leave me alone, please. Enough time has gone by where it’s valid to leave me alone. I beg of you, truly. That’s my only request. Leave me alone. Be miserable somewhere else, please.” The video was posted on the evening of April 12 and, within 12 hours at the time of writing, has already been viewed over 15 million times. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load While Hailey isn’t explicit in her reasons for asking people to leave her alone, many of those commenting are speculating that it’s related to the multitude of comments regarding Selena Gomez that are left on her videos every day. Selena dated Justin on and off from 2011 to around 2014, and many of their fans still ship ‘Jelena’ as a couple, regardless of his marital status with Hailey. Whether this is the definite reason for Hailey’s rant is unclear, but it’s safe to say she’s had enough of the negativity online.

Hailey Bieber responds to husband Justin’s crying photos amid fan concerns – Dexerto
Hailey Bieber responds to husband Justin’s crying photos amid fan concerns INSTAGRAM: justinbieberJustin Bieber left fans worried after sharing close-up photos of himself crying on Instagram. His wife, Hailey, has now commented, as some fans even speculated they were separating. Hailey Bieber has reassured fans amid concerns sparked by her husband, Justin Bieber, after he posted a series of photos showing himself in tears. On April 27, Justin shared two tearful selfies on Instagram as part of a carousel of photos that also showed him performing on the stage. But the ‘Peaches’ hitmaker did not include a caption to the post, leaving his followers confused and worried. “I hope you are doing okay, I hate to see tears running down your face,” one fan commented. “Justin, we are here for you brother,” another wrote. “Who’s bothering you? Why are you crying?” a third questioned. Others believed the crying pics were related to rumors that Justin and his wife are going through a divorce. However, Hailey quickly shut down these speculations, as she commented: “A pretty crier.” The post came following months of rumors that the couple were having marital difficulties, after Hailey’s dad, Stephen Baldwin, reshared an Instagram post asking fans to “say a little prayer” for them. However, earlier this month, a source dismissed these speculations and told People that the two are actually “doing really well.” The insider told the outlet: “There’s no divorce and no truth to that whatsoever. They are very, very happy.” While Hailey was not included in Justin’s Instagram carousel post, the superstar couple were spotted enjoying a Coachella set together on April 14. They were seen sharing a kiss at the music festival, further dispelling the divorce rumors.

Hailey Bieber hits out at “invasive” paparazzi on Dixie D’Amelio’s talk show – Dexerto
Hailey Bieber hits out at “invasive” paparazzi on Dixie D’Amelio’s talk show YouTube: Dixie D’AmelioModel Hailey Bieber was the first guest on TikToker Dixie D’Amelio’s new and improved YouTube talk show, and the pair talked about some of the most invasive experiences they have had as a result of the paparazzi. Along with the launch of the second season of her YouTube talk show, Dixie D’Amelio announced a series of guests that will appear in upcoming episodes. One of the most notable names was Hailey Bieber, and fans were excited to see what the pair would talk about. While existing in very different worlds, the pair are both hugely recognizable and are often followed by paparazzi. Dixie has been vocal in the past about her frustration with paparazzi, criticizing them for sitting outside her home and waiting for her to emerge. The TikTok star took the opportunity to ask Hailey about her own experiences. “Paparazzi is such an interesting thing to me because I really don’t understand it, and I think that it’s a really really weird, invasive thing,” Hailey said. While she explained she could understand it from a fashion photography perspective, she added that it’s different when they’re being “invasive and disrespectful.” Hailey told Dixie about an experience she had just the night before, where she was leaving somewhere with her husband Justin, and a male photographer was lying on the ground, pointing the camera up. She was wearing a short skirt at the time, and she explained that the experience made her uncomfortable as people have previously taken and published photos of her underwear. Topic starts at 7:00 She continued: “People used to come up to me and do stuff to me like that when I was 19 like, ‘are you pregnant?’ And I’m like, ‘who do you think you are asking a 19-year-old about being pregnant.’ So weird and invasive, a grown man is asking me at 19 if I’m pregnant. It is weird. And it should not ever be nonchalant, like ‘oh it’s fine, I’m okay with it’ because it’s not okay.” Dixie recalled her own bizarre story, where she was asked if she was “gonna go virgin to the alter” while getting into the car. She added that it’s “frustrating” as she “[tries] to be so nice to everyone because if it’s put on the internet they’re gonna be like, ‘oh she’s horrible, why isn’t she talking to them.” Viewers loved seeing the two stars talk candidly about their experiences in the spotlight, and are already looking forward to the next episode of the Early Late Night Show.

She even went viral when she recreated her own iconic sound.

Hafthor ‘The Mountain’ Bjornsson vs Eddie Hall boxing match date revealed – Dexerto
Hafthor ‘The Mountain’ Bjornsson vs Eddie Hall boxing match date revealed CoreSports / Instagram: thorbjornssonA date has been set for a boxing match between two of the world’s strongest men – Hafthor ‘The Mountain’ Bjornsson and Eddie ‘The Beast’ Hall. On May 2, The Mountain broke Hall’s deadlift world record by pulling 501 kg (1104 lbs) off the ground live for viewers around the world on Twitch. Almost immediately after his record was broken, The Game of Thrones star and now world record holder, challenged Hall to a boxing match literally of epic proportions, and it seems the match will be actually be happening in September 2021 after The Beast responded on Instagram. “That’s done, it’s locked in, there’s no backing out,” Hall said after he signed the contract. “So, Thor, are you happy, has your dream come true? You finally get to go up against the guy who bested you at World’s Strongest Man 2017, the man you called a cheat.” The Beast seems to be really looking forward to the fight too, which is understandable considering he’ll be going up against the man who took his deadlift world record away from him (though Hall has some doubts about how legit Thor’s attempt really was). “I’m happy, I get to make a load of money and step in the ring with you and do business,” The Beast laughed. “I hope you’re happy being the “home gym hero” right now, everyone knows full well you haven’t got the balls to step into a competition and replicate what I did.” Hall went on to assure Thor that he would be training for this fight harder than he’d ever trained before, to teach the man who took his world record a lesson. “World’s Strongest Man 2017, I trained for that like no other man did and I came and dominated that competition, and just like I did for that, I’m going to do the same for the fight,” The Beast growled. “I’m going to swim out to those dark waters, and I want you to come with me. I’m gonna keep swimming, I don’t give a f**k anymore, I’m not turning back, and you will, because you’re a p**sy.” “You can’t bring your entourage with you, it’s a dark, deep, cold, horrible place, and it all ends in the ring,” the English strongman finished. “And that’s where I’m going to teach you a f**king lesson.” While Thor and Hall are undoubtedly two of the largest and strongest human beings on the face of the earth, hopping in the ring to go blow-by-blow is a whole different animal than lifting massive amounts of weight, and requires a different kind of endurance. No matter what happens, we’ll be following both monsters as they get ready for this titanic clash that will hopefully bring this friendly feud to a head once and for all.

Hafu shares disturbing story about competing in esports as a woman – Dexerto
Hafu shares disturbing story about competing in esports as a woman Instagram/itshafuTwitch streamer Rumay ‘Hafu’ Wang shared an extremely disturbing incident that happened during an esports competition she competed in as a teenager, shocking viewers. During a September 25 broadcast, Hafu discussed how her success in many different video games is changing people’s perception of her. “It’s harder for people to attack me cause I’ve gotten better at a lot of games,” she explained. “I mean, Among Us is not an example, because you cannot objectively say someone is good at Among Us in my opinion.” While the streamer’s skills at the hit title are dismissed, even by her own standards, there are still other games that she’s been having success with. “I won PogChamps 2,” she said, referencing the streamer chess tournament. “It’s little things like that that keep adding up… it makes me really happy that people are sticking up for me.” However, it wasn’t always like this, especially for female gamers. Slightly later on in the broadcast, the streamer delved into an unfortunate incident that happened as a teenager. “I always use this as the main example, but when I was 17, I was a pro WoW (World of WarCraft) player,” she began. “On the official Blizzard tournament realm, there was a team that qualified named ‘Gonna R*pe Hafu at Regionals.’” Right away Hafu’s chat reacted with plenty of “wtfs,” clearly in shock that Blizzard would ever allow a team to use that name. “And that flew! They qualified!” she exclaimed. “That was the eternal attitude of gaming at the time. So like, the whole community kinda had that attitude and it has changed so much in the last decade.” A lot of companies, including Blizzard, have since taken more steps to prevent harassment in-game such as the use of new profanity filters and reporting options. Plus, from Wang’s own experience, the whole culture has shifted drastically. “I’m so hopeful for the future,” she chimed. “Because I didn’t think it was ever going to change.”

Hacksmith creates real Star Wars lightsaber that cuts through anything – Dexerto
Hacksmith creates real Star Wars lightsaber that cuts through anything Instagram: thehacksmith / DisneyYouTuber the Hacksmith has gone viral after perfectly recreating a Star Wars lightsaber in real life — and it can cut through literally anything. [jwplayer RA2ZiuOp] No matter how long Star Wars goes on, or how old the fans become, lightsabers will always be one of the coolest things in the world, iconic in the world of cinema and something all fans wish they had. Of course, it’s possible to get replica lightsabers in all different styles, ranging from cheap plastic ones, to full-blown replicas costing hundreds of dollars if you’re looking to get an authentic one that feels as though it’s straight from a galaxy far, far away. But, sometimes even those don’t cut it, and the Hacksmith took it upon himself to create a lightsaber that could cut through basically anything, just like the ones from the movies — and he got it almost spot on. After making the world’s first retractable plasma lightsaber, James Hobson and his crew had to fully test the device to see how it actually works and, as expected, it’s basically perfect. The temperature reaches highs of 4000°F (2200°C), which is absurdly hot, and slices through a replica Stormtrooper model like butter. After proving that the new device could easily take down enemy stormtroopers, the Hacksmith had to test it out on even bigger obstructions, as they tore through walls, cut holes in cars, and even ripped another lightsaber in half, just to prove how powerful there new recreation was. The crew even decided to cook some meat with the lightsaber — albeit, the end result didn’t look too appetizing, which shouldn’t really come as a surprise. Clearly, and it goes without saying, this isn’t something you should try to replicate at home. This is exclusively for trained Jedi, and looks dangerous at even the best of times. Dangerous… but still pretty cool, and something Yoda himself would be impressed by.

Hafthor ‘The Mountain’ Bjornsson is down to spar with Logan Paul and the internet can’t wait – Dexerto
Hafthor ‘The Mountain’ Bjornsson is down to spar with Logan Paul and the internet can’t wait YouTube: Mike Thurston / Instagram: Logan PaulLogan Paul is winding down from his electric exhibition match against Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, but he may have another opponent already lined up — one of gargantuan proportions. Logan Paul is slowly but steadily climbing the ranks from YouTuber to professional boxer. The influencer took on the title for his rematch against fellow content creator KSI in 2019, and subsequently touched gloves with Floyd Mayweather in 2021. While he hasn’t had as illustrious a boxing career as his little bro, Jake Paul, Logan is still making efforts to line up impressive fights and sparring matches… and he may have found an impressive sparring partner who’s a bit above his weight class. Well, a bit might be stretching it. On a September 23 episode of his ‘IMPAULSIVE’ podcast, Paul sat down with Icelandic strongman, Game of Thrones’ Hafthor ‘The Mountain’ Bjornsson, to talk everything from movie magic to boxing. As the two were chatting it up, Bjornsson brought up the possibility of a sparring match with Logan, and even suggested the YouTuber take him on outright. (It’s worth noting that Hafthor is a staggering 6’9″ and clocks in at an impressive 345 pounds.) “You should challenge me next,” the Mountain said, coming off a conversation about Paul’s bout with the significantly smaller Floyd Mayweather. “Because I’m heavier now, and I’m taller. Who wins that fight?” “We should do it right now,” a smirking Paul answered. “We should literally stand up and box.” “You’re f**ked,” Hafthor joked, pointing toward Paul’s injured right hand wrapped in a cast. “If you hit me with one punch, I don’t know if I would be on this planet anymore,” Logan answered. View this post on Instagram Injuries aside, it does seem like Bjornsson is absolutely game for a sparring match with Paul… although he’s not sure about a full-blown boxing match. “I’m not saying that we’re gonna fight, you know, but if you want to spar — just a fun sparring session, I would be down,” the Mountain admitted. “It would be an honor for myself to spar with you.” (Topic begins at 4:45) For now, it looks like Paul is nursing his hand back to health — but the possibility of a sparring match between these two unexpected opponents is definitely getting the internet riled up, with some feeling that Logan is definitely going to end up looking like a bug on a windshield. Paul himself is still sorting out a future opponent for his next boxing match, even considering the likes of Mike Tyson. We’ll have to see if he can best the Mountain first when his hand gets back in fighting shape.

Hackers hijack popular YouTuber Scott the Woz’s Twitter account – Dexerto
Hackers hijack popular YouTuber Scott the Woz’s Twitter account YouTube/Scott The WozPopular gaming YouTuber Scott ‘Scott The Woz’ Wozniak had his Twitter account taken over by hackers on December 29. Scott The Woz is one of the most popular gaming channels on YouTube, boasting over 1.25 million subscribers on the platform while his Twitter has just under 300,000. On December 29, the YouTuber mysteriously had all of his previous tweets deleted and replaced with either nonsensical posts or retweets of pro-hacking websites. “Like this and Scott gets his sh*t back within the hour,” one of the hackers said in a post advertising a website by an individual named YARIS. It’s unclear if YARIS is the same person who gained access to Scott’s account, but it had been created as early as April 2009. With the account under the hackers’ control, the antics continued with “Scott” posting racist and homophobic slurs. Scott’s Twitter handle was also changed to advertise the hacking website. Fans of Wozniak, however, decided to fight back and issue mass reports to Twitter, telling the platform that Scott’s account had been hacked in an attempt to save it. As of this moment, the account remains in the hackers’ control. So far, Scott has yet to comment on the hack and it’s unclear if he’s even aware that it has happened at all. 2020 has been a wild year for Twitter hacks. In July, a hacker took over Elon Musk, Mr Beast, Bill Gates and more in a massive Bitcoin scam. TO EVERYONE READING THIS Report @/TW33TR_com They hacked Scott’s account and are currently defacing it entirely. Below is an image that’ll show you which option to press when you report. Please RT to share this around!! pic.twitter.com/7sg4N5rzbS — ✧kathy✧ (@cloudyberries_) December 29, 2020 Later on, in August, Twitch superstar Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel fell victim to a similar hack as the one facing Scott The Woz. The French Canadian’s account started posting messages such as “f**k you xqc we own u BRO” and promoted the hacker’s friends. Nonetheless, Scott is just the latest victim of widespread hacks facing the social media site. It will be interesting to see if any others take place before the year’s end and if Twitter can implement better defenses in 2021.

Hackers threaten Adin Ross after hijacking Destiny’s Kick stream – Dexerto
Hackers threaten Adin Ross after hijacking Destiny’s Kick stream Unsplash/Adin RossTwo hackers threatened to go after Adin Ross next after they managed to hijack Destiny’s Kick channel and stream in his place. Unlike IRL (in-real-life) streams, where members of the public can interrupt the broadcast and ruin things, streaming from your own home by yourself should go without issue. Though, this isn’t always the case as streamers make mistakes and run into issues. The biggest issue faced by those streaming from home is that they may be targeted by trolls and hackers. Trolls often just want to derail the stream while hackers look to compromise the security of it. Platforms like Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and others offer 2FA security – two-factor authentication – to prevent hackers from having their way. However, Destiny’s Kick channel was hijacked by two hackers who streamed in his place. Hackers hijack Destiny’s Kick channel and threaten Adin Ross That’s right, on August 15, Destiny’s Kick channel hosted two unfamiliar faces after they managed to get his stream key and take over the broadcast. Unlike Destiny’s regular political content, the hackers played flash games on Google and threatened to sell Kick’s “database” for $20. Then, they moved on to another target – Adin Ross. “Next, we’re going to stream on Adin Ross,” the off-camera hacker shouted as the other one, who was on camera, urged viewers to donate for other reasons. Paul Chianese, Kick’s head of product, stated that the hackers got Destiny’s stream key as his “credentials were compromised on another platform” and that two-factor authentication was not used. “There is no vulnerability with Kick stream keys,” he added, urging streamers to use 2FA anyway. As of writing, they haven’t taken over Adin Ross’ channel and it’s unknown if they have any details that would compromise other streamers on Kick.

Hacker takes over iiTzTimmy’s Valorant account and sends abusive messages to Kyedae – Dexerto
Hacker takes over iiTzTimmy’s Valorant account and sends abusive messages to Kyedae Twitch: iitzTimmy, KyedaeAn unidentified hacker gained access to Twitch streamer iiTzTimmy’s Valorant account, using it to send abusive private messages to Kyedae, follower her diagnosis with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Kyedae, a Valorant content creator, announced she will be starting treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia soon. Upon hearing the news, the Valorant community banded together to send positive messages to Kyedae, wishing her the best of luck with the treatment and recovery. During March 6 stream, Kyedae started receiving disturbing messages from Timmy’s account related to the diagnosis. Someone had obtained the streamer’s Valorant account ID and password, logged in, and began messaging Kyedae privately while Timmy was in the middle of a match. His chat quickly informed him of this, before Timmy himself witnessed in someone sending Kyedae an absuive message from his account. All of which was clipped on his channel. Hacker sends disturbing messages to Kyedae from iiTzTimmy’s account Those are just some of the messages that Kyedae received though, as Timmy did not see all of them on his end of things. More messages attacking Kyedae can be seen in a clip from her channel. Fans of both streamers were shocked at the depravity of the hacker behind this attack on Kyedae. “Can’t even imagine how sad and lonely u have to be to do this,” said one person in an Reddit thread on the topic. “Whoever this person is, please get help. Take a good look in the Mirror and ask yourself how you would feel if this was you. Sure, not everyone needs to be a Kyedae fan but to mock her cancer like this AND hacking Timmy’s Valo account is taking this WAY too far.” IiTzTimmy managed secure his Valorant account and the rest of his stream went on without a hitch, Kyedae herself displayed impressive composure when reading the messages, and while it seems unlikely, fans hope the culprit is identified and punished by Riot.

Hackers are stealing Twitch streamers’ payments and Twitch can’t help – Dexerto
Hackers are stealing Twitch streamers’ payments and Twitch can’t help Twitch / PayPalA growing number of streamers on Twitch claim that their payouts from the site have been stolen, after thieves gained access to their accounts and redirected the payments to a new PayPal account. Twitch says it is unable to recall “successful” payments. The first instance of this stolen payment issue was raised by Killadelphia, a partnered streamer with just under 10,000 followers. Killadelphia explained that someone had logged in and changed the payment information, resulting in his earnings from the platform, such as subscriptions, ad revenue and bits, being sent to another PayPal account, instead of his own. Reaching out to Twitch, he received a response that, “After investigation, it appears the payout was sent to the chosen payout method. Twitch support is unable to recall or reissue payouts that are paid/cleared successfully.” More streamers have payments stolen Since Killadelphia’s revelations, a handful of streamers have complained of very similar situations. xSophieSophie, Dakillzor, and EliteJonas1 have all publicly said that their payout method was changed to an account other than their own. “Someone has gained access to my account, changed my pay-out from wire to PayPal and added their own PayPal,” Dakillzor explained. In a response to xSophieSophie, Twitch said “there is no recourse to reverse this transaction.” They also advised creating a new password and ensuring that two-factor authentication (2FA) is up to date. The streamer says 2FA was enabled, and still is, yet the payment method is still being changed. Just frustrating now, my password was changed, my 2fa was on, it still is!!! And they’re STILL changing my payment method, why don’t you want to even investigate how they’re doing this to protect others???? @twitch @twitchsupport @KilladeIphia @Dakillzor pic.twitter.com/DtJjIyrUMA — Sophie♥ (@xSophieSophie) October 19, 2021 Twitch concludes that “the best thing we can do is to take all the precautionary measures to prevent any compromised situations again,” but does not specify what these measures would be. EliteJonas1 says they had $347 taken from their payment sent to another PayPal. Advice from Twitch Support, again, was to change passwords and activate 2FA. https://twitter.com/EliteJonas1/status/1433100408222883844 As EliteJonas1 says, $347 is not an insignificant amount for anyone, but especially a small streamer, who may be supplementing their income with streaming. There has been some speculation that the stolen payments could be linked to the major Twitch data breach that took place earlier in October. However, the platform indicated that login credentials were not compromised in this breach. Dexerto has reached out to Twitch for comment.

HAchubby tears up after receiving huge birthday surprise from fans – Dexerto
HAchubby tears up after receiving huge birthday surprise from fans Instagram: HAchubbytvKorean streamer HAchubby was shocked after she got a huge surprise on her birthday from her dedicated fans. HAchubby shares her content to a multinational fanbase of over 200,000 on Twitch. She is most often found streaming IRL, collaborating with other streamers, as well as sometimes showcasing her piano skills. She has several super loyal fans who make frequent appearances online whenever she streams. Just last month she met a Twitch fan in one of her IRL streams, only for him to reveal himself as her “number one VIP” and a known member of her community. In another stream, a fan ‘stream sniped’ her. He approached her to give her a pizza box as a gift, and to HAchubby’s surprise the box contained a printed out image of the iconic Twitch “Jebaited” emote. While she is used to interactions from her dedicated fans IRL, the last thing the streamer expected was for them all to come together to thank her for her content on her birthday. On Sunday, November 29 HAchubby’s stream was hijacked by her viewers who sent her a video, with a pink background perfectly matching her hair color, wishing her a “Happy Birthday from all of chat.” The voiceover in the video said, “on this momentous occasion we bring you the event of a lifetime for the worldwide Twitch sensation HAchubby. Get your PepeDs ready!” The rest of the video featured an emotional montage of some of HAchubby’s best moments and featured a clip of her introducing herself. The video also showed an adorable animation showcasing the impact that the streamer has had on a global scale. HAchubby was confused at first, only managing to say an emotional “what?” in response, but as the video continued she looked tearful while viewers spammed the chat with birthday wishes. As the streamer continues to make her multinational fanbase smile on a daily basis, it’s heartwarming to know that they can make her smile too.

HAchubby left stunned after being roasted by fan-made music video – Dexerto
HAchubby left stunned after being roasted by fan-made music video Korean Just Chatting streamer ‘HAchubby’ has been left in awe after watching a fan-made music video detailing her run through Jump King, with equal amounts of roasting, banter, and hilarious moments from her stream. HAchubby has one of the most loyal fanbases on Twitch, with people around the world sending her gifts and special-made art for her to enjoy. However, this fan might have won the gift of the year already, curating a perfect music video to sum up HAchubby’s journey playing Jump King on Twitch, sharing it to her and thousands of viewers live on stream. The parody music video, made by Vawnish, put a twist on the 1987 R.E.M. classic “It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine).” With the catchy guitar riff, Vawnish told a story of HAchubby’s 16-hour struggle in just four minutes, and she lapped it up. “Wow! You sung this,” she asked, shocked at how good it was. She went through all the emotions of joy, shock, and sometimes a bit of confusion when she got roasted every now and again. It had references to her rage-quit moment half-way through one of her runs, her hundreds of falls, and her success at the end of it all. It also had some more general remarks about her usually being late to her scheduled streams, and how she occasionally mutes her mic by accident, leading to some hilarious clips. “Wow! Crazy good, [you would have] taken a very long time to make this,” she said. Her chat was equally as stunned as the song played out, complimenting Vawnish as it played out on stream. The full version is up on YouTube so you can see for yourself the amount of effort Vawnish went to commemorate one of their favorite streamers. That wasn’t the only piece of art HAchubby received to start out 2020. Fans shared drawings of Hachu, including a cool Nendoroid chibi-style drawing of the streamer in casual clothing.

HAchubby takes over German music festival with surprising piano skills – Dexerto
HAchubby takes over German music festival with surprising piano skills Twitch: HAchubbyHAchubby is a big name across Twitch, known for her wide variety of wacky IRL content — but aside from her success as a streaming superstar, she’s also a fairly competent pianist. HAchubby is synonymous with laughter, fun, and good times. The streamer skyrocketed to fame in 2019 after broadcasting her part-time shifts at a local convenience store, leading to some pretty humorous moments and unexpected interactions with customers. The Korean streamer has since found so much success on Twitch that she’s achieved her dream of opening up her very own convenience store, and has finally been able to travel the globe — giving her audience some pretty memorable traveling streams. Her latest adventure took her to Berlin, Germany, where she stunned a group of festival-goers with her piano skills at a music event. While the entire VOD is unavailable, going off of testimonies from viewers, it seems that HAchubby had been merely streaming at the festival when she was approached by members of a jazz band, who asked her what she was doing in Berlin. After chatting for a bit, the group learned she was a pianist and invited her onstage to play with them— and the ensuing performance was nothing short of totally wholesome. HAchubby’s piano performance earns her a big round of applause HAchubby ended up playing a jazzy version of Frank Sinatra’s ‘Fly Me To The Moon,’ during which the audience danced to the music in the courtyard. Her Twitch viewers got to watch the show from the stage, just between a piano-playing HAchubby and a string-thrumming cellist. Once the song was over, she was given a hearty round of applause from all assembled, making for a tear-jerking ending to a fun and totally unexpected moment that certainly made her trip to Berlin an unforgettable one. “I was so nervous!” she tearfully admitted after walking offstage. “I was so bad! That was crazy!” While HAchubby might have been a bit “keyed up,” her latest traveling vlog just goes to show how amazing IRL streams can be in the right circumstances, shining a bright light of positivity and cheerfulness onto all who witnessed the event as it happened.

IRL Twitch streamer HAchubby shocked after being threatened by stranger – Dexerto
IRL Twitch streamer HAchubby shocked after being threatened by stranger Yugwha, Twitch“HAchubby” is one of Twitch’s fastest rising stars, skyrocketing to popularity thanks to her over-the-top reactions and hilarious IRL streams – but not everyone is sold on the streaming lifestyle. HAchubby is known for her humorous interactions with bystanders and fans, as she broadcasts from her part-time job at a convenience store – resulting in more than a few awkward moments in front of the camera. However, some of these instances can get viscerally uncomfortable, as seen during the streamer’s stay in the United States for TwitchCon 2019. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/B26IP-nhfJW/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link HAchubby made her way to San Diego, California to take part in the massive event, later flying to New York to extend her American tour. Of course, the streamer opted to broadcast her travels during her stay, and set up her equipment in a pizza parlor to take a quick breather – but a bystander wasn’t too pleased about being on camera. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/B3FRnw7hm6P/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkAs she was sitting down to chat with fellow broadcaster “Yugwha,” a nearby customer loudly threatened to break and steal her camera, out of apparent frustration at being filmed without his consent. “I feel like snatching her camera and breaking it,” the bystander announced. “Or keeping it. You know why? Because you’re putting me on live.” “What?” HAchubby mouthed to the camera in obvious shock, apologetically inclining her head. “No, livestream,” she explained. “Twitch. …okay? Sorry.” That wasn’t the only uncomfortable interaction the two streamers experienced at the restaurant, either: another random stranger passed by and noticed the two through the window, sitting down next to them and claiming that Yugwha’s bag had “caught his eye,” even asking if they “needed protection.” Thankfully, the broadcasters were quickly saved by the restaurant’s owner, who interrupted their conversation to ask the stranger if he needed help – prompting him to finally leave the two alone. This wouldn’t be the first time an IRL streamer has been harassed for filming, by far: in fact, streamer “CJayRide” was approached by multiple bystanders during a stream in mid-July, with one stranger even threatening to sue him. As the digital age continues to advance, the conversation around live streaming in public continues to escalate – resulting in such uncomfortable interactions seen in HAchubby’s broadcast.

HAchubby stream sniped at Disneyland The Twitch personality was in the middle of her IRL stream at Disneyland when she and her friend fellow streamer ‘AngelsKimi’ needed to charge their phones. Both streamers broke into laughter when they showed their viewers the charging cords they bought that were so tiny that they were pretty much useless, when a viewer watching their broadcast approached them off camera. Shocked, HAchubby let out a scream before panning the camera to the right, where their stream sniper stood holding a long charging cable, and said “This one?” The Korean star was left speechless as the viewer handed her the cable. Kimi then took the cord and held it up to compare to the ones they bought, showing the chat the massive difference in length. “Really? Thank you! Oh my!” HAchubby exclaimed. Her friend then asked the man “How we can give it back to you?” and they exchanged Discord information with the sniper. After they tested that their phones worked with the cable, the viewer took off. Still shocked by the whole thing, HAchubby couldn’t stop covering her mouth with her hand and laughing. “I can’t believe this is happening. Oh my God!” she exclaimed. While rare, this isn’t the first time a stream sniper has come to the rescue at the right time. An IRL streamer was brought food by a viewer while broadcasting in Japan, just as one example.

HAchubby reveals HAchuMart convenience store struggles after Twitch success – Dexerto
HAchubby reveals HAchuMart convenience store struggles after Twitch success Twitch: HAchubbyKorean Twitch star HAchubby won people’s hearts over with her shifts at a convenience store. Now, she owns her very own HAchuMart. However, it didn’t come without its fair share of challenges, which she opened up about on February 24. From an Emart to HAchuMart, popular Korean Twitch streamer HAchubby has carved out a niche with her content following her mundane life working at a convenience store. After quitting her old job due to concerns about privacy, she decided to become her own boss by opening up her own convenience store in Busan, South Korea. It was a spur of the moment decision, but once her mind was made, she was resolved to do it for her viewers. “I lost a big part of my stream and my life. And my viewers lost something they enjoyed to watch every weekend. I didn’t really want to quit this job because it kept me connected to the real world,” she said in a February 24 video, talking about leaving her previous job. “So I promised the viewers, don’t worry, we will have our own convenience store next year. I was crazy. I promised that I didn’t think well enough. I didn’t think about costs, staff, or location. I just said I was going to do it.” Now, HAchuMart is open and free for anyone to visit — well, if you can make it to South Korea. The cute little market features a bunch of HAchubby’s favorite items. However, it was truly a community endeavor, with her stream helping her out along the way. Read More: Why is #FreeTommy trending? – “Since then everyone was looking forward to it, a lot of people sent me cheering messages. Some viewers even supported me with donations,” she said. “I asked my viewers to help me [design the store]. A lot of them shared their ideas, gave feedback, and worked on creative new designs. I made a lot of designs with my viewers, including the logo, uniform, and even the ice cream box. I’m thankful to everyone who helped me make it. I don’t think I’d be able to make it on my own.” Between trying to stick to a 2020 deadline, dealing with lockdowns, and not even having an ounce of business experience, it was a tough time for HAchubby. But now, her dreams have been realized, and she’s so happy for all the support from friends and family along the way. “This was my first business ever, and I thought it would be hard for me to do it. I still can’t believe how many people decided to help. It was a miracle. It was very busy, but I was lucky enough to have family and friends to help me. “I really achieved what I had dreamed of. This is not just another convenience store. HAchuMart is the result of many people working together to make a dream come true. “It all started with a girl streaming her part-time job, and with the support of the viewers, family, and friends, this girl now has her own convenience store.”

I am so happy! Thank you, Pepe!” the Twitch personality replied. Read More: Shroud reveals why he stopped playing Halo – “Don’t worry about me, I’m happy!” she made the plush say, before hugging him. Her chat then erupted into some accepting the frog’s response, while others still claimed he was being held against his will. The Korean streamer’s ridiculous skit was in response to a clip that went viral from her December 21 broadcast, when she watched a fan-made video that had a voice over dub with the plush claiming he was being abused. “I used to have a happy life. I was a normal frog. Then a few days later it started. The new girl is not nice!” the comedic video said, before it cut to various clips of the streamer poking the doll, or dropping it during past broadcasts. “She attacks me almost every time she streams. I live in constant fear,” the voice said, before a clip played of the frog falling off her desk. “I was not fine. That hurt a lot!” Pepe stated, while the Korean exclaimed that it was all a misunderstanding. HAchubby has had an incredible year, as she only had 700 followers at the start in January, and has exploded in popularity due to hilarious viral clips of her learning about meme culture with her audience.

HAchubby proves she’s a rap god with epic Christmas track – Dexerto
HAchubby proves she’s a rap god with epic Christmas track Popular Twitch streamer HAchubby put on a spectacular Christmas show as she wrote, produced, and performed her own holiday rap anthem. Since launching her channel back in early 2018, HAchubby has become a rising star on Twitch. The Korean streamer has amassed nearly 150,000 followers on the livestreaming platform and regularly finds herself with thousands of viewers anytime she decides to go live – be it from home or on the go. With Christmas just around the corner, the streamer took her opportunity to celebrate the holidays with her fans and treated them to a musical show that they probably won’t forget in a hurry. HAchubby kicked off her December 23 stream by getting into the holiday spirit with a Santa Claus outfit and Christmas backdrop. Within a few moments, she busted out her piano and started concocting her track. As a starting point, the streamer had some pre-recorded ad-libs to work – including “HAChu on the beat” – before remixing the Christmas classic of Jingle Bells into a more suitable backing track. After that was figured out and the streamer had her tempo, she moved onto writing some of her own lyrics with the help of chat. Now, with this being Twitch, it isn’t exactly going to be a lyrical hit but instead, the streamer managed to work in some classic memes as well as moments from the last year – but still kept the overall holiday theme. After a few hours of hard work, HAchubby was finally done and able to perform her Christmas rap – doing away with the piano and leaving herself with only the mic. It may not have been a full length, four-minute-long track, but the impressive near-minute long performance was the perfect way for the streamer to showcase her impressive work – especially with her loyal fans supporting her all the way. Of course, the impressive stream isn’t HAchubby’s first run-in with talented Twitch users, as earlier in December, one fan sent her an epic track that summed up her streaming career. Her piano is also a regular feature on broadcast so it wouldn’t be wholly surprising to see her bust out some more songs in the new year. Who knows what she’ll do next.

HAchubby’s reaction to TheSushiDragon’s bold invite leaves him red-faced – Dexerto
HAchubby’s reaction to TheSushiDragon’s bold invite leaves him red-faced ‘HAchubby’ had Stefan ‘TheSushiDragon’ Li on for her NYE countdown, with the guest using the stream as the perfect opportunity to pop the popular Korean streamer an important question, however he wasn’t expecting her reaction. TheSushiDragon is known for his rather outrageous Twitch streams of dancing, talk shows, and whatever incredulous idea flows through his mind. So, when HAchubby invited him along for her New Years Eve countdown involving psychedelic tunes and grooves, his boldness came in the form of an out-there invite. An invite to try and get the Korean streamer out to Los Angeles, in his streamer house, permanently. However, polite conversation between the two streamers was derailed slightly as Sushi was left a bit embarrassed by the Korean phenomenon’s reply. Sharing their favorite moments about 2019, and what they are looking forward to 2020, HAchubby and Sushi were engaged in a nice conversation as the clock ticked ever closer to zero. “What is your best happening in 2019,” [sic] asked HAchubby. “Moving to Los Angeles,” he replied. “Yeah, I was in Sacramento by myself. [I moved here] four months ago.” While the question was hot off the press, Sushi made sure to take his chance to see if HAchubby wanted to move in with him to kickstart his 2020. “So you wanna move here too,” he asked. “We have more rooms if you want. Come stay!” HAchubby was taken aback by the suggestion, rocking around in her chair in surprise. “Really? Oh my god,” she said. “Maybe I can with my dad and my mom. I want to [move] with my family.” Sushi scanned around the room and the house, trying to figure out a way to fit in HAchubby’s family, but the house wasn’t big enough. “We can’t fit that — nope, just kidding, that’s a lot of people.” The streamer quickly changed the topic after the bold invite went south as his Korean guest laughed in the background. The duo managed to move past the awkward question though to dance their way into the new year, cutting some shapes on the green screen floor to some K-Pop. A move to Los Angeles might be off the cards for HAchubby and her family for now, but that won’t stop Sushi from possibly trying again down the line. His 2020 New Years resolutions aren’t off to the greatest start, but there’s still 365 days to go.

Daily life at the boring, mediocre convenience store has turned into a special and enjoyable time thanks to you…I will never forget these memories.” After teasing details of business venture on Twitter for a few weeks, HAChubby has now turned the tables by opening her very own store called HachuMart and streamed the opening. Viewers can see that the interior is covered in pink like the streamer’s own color scheme, including bright pink baskets, and there are adorable stuffed puppies on the shelves alongside other regular items you’d normally see in a convenience store. The store also has a screen on the window outside which shows HaChubby’s streams in real-time During the stream of the opening, she also revealed a large pink cake and some custom-made HachuMart themed cookies with different designs including the shop logo and images of her face – gifts from her friends to celebrate the opening.

Hopefully, the two continue to hang out on stream so we can witness even more of their playful antics when Western and Eastern cultures collide.

The Korean broke into laughter and exclaimed, “Are you kidding me!? I actually got Jebaited!” HAchubby held the empty pizza box up to the camera, and showed the emote. “Oh my God, you are genius. I actually got Jebaited!” she said again. The streamer then talked to the fan and asked him whether she looked different in person.

I watch your stream!” “She hit me in the face!” the bystander interrupted with good humor. “Don’t worry – she is amazing!” The inebriated stranger then kissed HAChubby on the head before taking his leave – an action that appeared to make her uncomfortable, judging by her body language and subsequent dismissal of their invitation to hang out.

HAchubby eventually emerged from the water and made her way to the shore, no doubt freezing as she had not intended to actually become submerged under the cold ocean. The Korean wiped off the camera and told her audience, “My phone is not dead. It’s okay. I’m fine. Work! Work!” as she tapped her phone as the sound had become muffled. Despite the unexpected fall, she ran into her friend and fellow Twitch streamer ‘yugwha0901’ who was also doing an IRL broadcast from the festival, and the two went back into the ocean to paddle around in the icy water. HAchubby is without a doubt the breakout Twitch star of 2019, starting the year with around 600 viewers, and ending it with an astonishing 153,000 followers on her channel. The popular Korean personality has connected with thousands, as her embrace of meme culture and unique IRL streams has made her must-see entertainment on the platform.

HAchubby gets mad after wholesome viewer makes her emotional – Dexerto
HAchubby gets mad after wholesome viewer makes her emotional Twitch/HAchubbyKorean streamer HAchubby got emotional after a viewer complimented the Twitch star during an interview on February 23. The Twitch star was having a conversation with a fan named Xanthos. After the two discussed the English language and pizza, the viewer asked the streamer if he could tell her something. “Do you remember viewer stories event?” he asked. “Remember you read three stories? You read my story. I want to thank you for that, that meant a lot to me.” While Xanthos didn’t elaborate on the story in question, he explained that in the story, he was the “one in the wheelchair with the tumor.” HAchubby seemed to recognize the fan from a message in Discord. “You made my day,” he added. “And your words touched my heart very much. So, I will keep supporting you and keep watching. And hopefully talk again sometime.” “So thank you, very, very much,” he concluded. Immediately following the kind words, HAchubby was unsure how to react and took a long sip of her drink before tears started to form in her eyes. Speechless, all she could do is stare blankly at the camera for a few moments. “Stop crying,” she told herself. “Yeah, stop crying,” Xanthos joked. Just then, the Korean streamer exploded, angrily claiming that she was mad that crying would hurt her “beauty” because the tears would affect her makeup. For her part, the streamer made it clear that she wasn’t upset at the viewer, but the nice wholesome moment may have lost its charm as a result of the outburst. HAchubby is becoming one of the top streamers on Twitch with nearly 175,000 followers on the platform. The Korean entertainer should be able to hit over 200,000 by the year’s end. According to the third-party stat website Twitchmetrics, she has the 20th most-watched English Just Chatting channel. Not bad considering she joined the site in February of 2018.

Korean streamer HAchubby has surprising reaction to eating dog food – Dexerto
Korean streamer HAchubby has surprising reaction to eating dog food Twitch: LilyPichuKorean Twitch star ‘HAchubby’ stopped by the OfflineTV house to catch up with the crew, appearing on Lily ‘LilyPichu’ Ki’s stream, digging into a box of dog treats on her desk and seemingly enjoying it. HAchubby’s tour across America has seen the Korean Twitch phenom stop in with Maya Higa for a walk around Los Angeles, do impromptu dances on the sidewalk, and catch up with various other streamer friends. With a stop at the OfflineTV house on January 20, Hachu ended up chilling with LilyPichu on stream, answering questions from fans and talking about their lives. However, something on Lily’s desk caught the Korean’s eye — a box of dog treats. “What is that,” HAchubby said, pointing at the box of dog treats. Lily explained that they were treats for Temmie, her dog, but they were also completely edible for humans. “You can eat it if you want,” said LilyPichu, shocking Hachu. “The ingredients are just like flour, peanut butter, strawberry, egg, it’s not human food but humans can eat it. I’ve tried it, it’s very plain, it doesn’t taste like anything, but you don’t need to try dog food unless you want to.” The comment left Hachu perplexed, but determined to try some out. “I’m just curious because it’s just like human food, like [people] can eat this,” she said. Lily offered her Korean guest a “bone,” which was gladly accepted on one condition – “I’m not going to die, right?” After smelling it and making sure that Lily didn’t have any ulterior motives, Hachu took a quick nibble of the dog treat, going through a flurry of emotions. She went from confused to pleased, seemingly enjoying the dog treat. “I like it, can I eat more? Delicious. Oh my god,” she said. Hachu’s comments left Lily embarrassed, resting her head in her hands as she quickly thought of something else to entertain her guest. “Do you want to order food? Are you hungry? We can get real food,” Lily offered, which Hachu happily obliged. While the dog treat was a “good appetizer” for the proper meal the duo tucked into just a few minutes later, Lily will have to be careful to make sure Hachu doesn’t sneak out with the treats once she heads home.

HAchubby fails ‘magic trick’ trying to show off new stream setup – Dexerto
HAchubby fails ‘magic trick’ trying to show off new stream setup Popular Korean Twitch streamer ‘HAchubby’ had a new stream setup to show off to her fans, but her elaborate trick to do the big reveal failed in embarrassing fashion. HAchubby’s meteoric rise on Twitch has been reflected in her constant upgrading of equipment. Thanks to donations from regular viewers, she managed to upgrade from a small laptop webcam to a fully kitted out desktop over the last year. She usually shows off all of her new gadgets with the same bubbly energy as the first time, smiling from ear-to-ear. However, her attempts to pull off a grandiose reveal for her green screen failed, leaving the streamer embarrassed on December 9. “I am buy a new screen,” she said, clicking her fingers and expecting a big dropdown. However, instead of the buzzing of the motor, she was met with silence, and the streamer fell into a slight panic over the fail. She got the remote and tried again, and again, with the green screen refusing to drop down the way. With every attempt, the Just Chatting personality got more frantic and confused, looking ready to jump up and pull the screen down herself. Her chat was laughing at the streamer’s embarrassing moment, as time after time nothing seemingly went to plan. One donation even suggested that the reveal had already happened, and that the curtains in the background were being played on the green screen. After about half a dozen attempts, and a bit of fiddling around, she managed to get it to drop down the way she intended. As the victorious hum of the motor rang in the background, she sat down on her chair, looking like a queen on the throne. She looked almost relieved when the screen finally worked, and her chat was equally as excited. The chat even ignored all of her previous attempts to say it worked “first try,” and with some good Twitch clipping skills, that could very well be the case. The green screen is pretty big, covering the whole of her back window, although she might need to make a couple of adjustments to make sure it fits the frame of her stream. HAchubby has been able to afford more and more goodies for her stream collection thanks to donations from her loyal fans. After starting out streaming from her U-Mart clerk job behind a laptop screen, she’s now got a fully decked out setup. The green screen will go a long way for the Korean streamer, helping her make more amusing content — if it drops down when she really needs it, that is.

HAchubby brutally roasts OTK’s “cringe” name in front of members – Dexerto
HAchubby brutally roasts OTK’s “cringe” name in front of members Twitch: HAchubbyAfter finding out what OTK stands for. Twitch streamer HAchubby roasted the name in front of the organization’s members, calling it out as “cringe”. Back in October of 2020, Twitch streamers Asmongold, Mizkif, Esfand, Tipster, and Rich Campbell created the OTK gaming organization. Since then, a variety of well-known personalities have joined the roster including Jschlatt, Cyr, and more recently, Emiru. However, despite having so many popular members, a lot of fans and streamers alike tend to forget what OTK stands for. This was certainly the case for HAchubby who appeared on a stream with some OTK members on January 4 when she found out that OTK stands for One True King. Her reaction came as a surprise to the group, as the streamer accidentally roasted the organization’s name. HAchubby calls OTK organization name “cringe” On January 4, HAchubby featured on Alinity’s stream and sat down with a group of OTK members for an eating stream. The group was finishing off their meal when HAchubby heard one of the members reference OTK as One True King. This took the streamer completely by surprise as she’d only heard the organization referred to by its acronym. It was at this point that Alinity decided to ask HAchubby what she thought of the OTK name and that’s when she decided to brutally roast it as “cringe”. Although HAchubby’s comment sparked a lot of yikes faces from the OTK members, none of them took it seriously at all and it got a huge reaction out of chat. Mizkif reacts to HAChubby’s comments While reacting to Reddit content on stream, Mizkif stumbled upon HAChubby calling OTK “cringe” and gave his opinion. He said: “I will never listen to HAChubby say anything is cringe, and that is just it. I will never listen to somebody like HAChubby tell me that something is cringe.” A few minutes later, he came across another clip and provided more thoughts on the subject after a viewer asked if he thinks she’s wrong. He added: “We’re a bunch of basement-dwelling losers, do you expect us to have a cool name? Whatever.” Mizkif made it clear he isn’t too bothered by HAChubby’s comments as seconds later, he laughed at a viewer saying they should change their name to “One True Kringe.”

HAchubby “broken” by Twitch chat during milestone celebration – Dexerto
HAchubby “broken” by Twitch chat during milestone celebration HAchubby, TwitchHitting 70,000 followers on Twitch should have been a momentous occasion for Korean streamer ‘HAchubby’, but it couldn’t have gone much worse after being trolled by her chat. The popular streamer has provided fans with a number of hilarious broadcasts throughout the course of 2019 already, including one time she started to panic after being pranked by a Minecraft friend. However, one of the most shocking moments to-date came on September 11 when she agreed to do something for her chat after reaching a landmark on the platform – to thank them for their support. Members of her online community, for one reason or another, wanted to see her stream the whole time wearing a bald cap and it’s fair to say that the whole thing didn’t go down too well – eventually. HAchubby started the stream out by wearing a t-shirt covered with the popular Pepe the Frog meme on it, dancing around with a pair of Deal With It glasses on her head. However, it quickly turned sour as she appeared to be embarrassed about the things she was doing. “I’m broken! My life, my good life is broken!” she yelled at the camera. “You happy? Twitch chat look at me. I am broken.” Even if she was annoyed about it all for a few moments, it looks like it was all worth it after all. The hilarious moment and viral clips that came from it has resulted in a further boost in her following as well. At the time of writing, HAchubby has managed to pull that total up to over 81,000 followers – representing around a 15% increase in her channel‘s popularity in the space of 24 hours. What she’ll do when she reaches her next milestone remains to be seen, but if it’s anything like this there will be tons of people watching for sure.

HAchubby and Jake’n’Bake call out ‘simp’ culture with Twitch music video – Dexerto
HAchubby and Jake’n’Bake call out ‘simp’ culture with Twitch music video JakenBakelive, YouTube / Tempo StormPopular streamers ‘Jake’n’Bake’ and ‘Hachubby’ got together to create a Kpop-themed music video at the behest of Tempo Storm— and their joint creation included a humorous callout toward certain Twitch viewers. Esports and entertainment organization Tempo Storm tasked Jake’n’Bake with a unique challenge, asking him create a Kpop song from scratch, live on Twitch. Of course, Jake didn’t disappoint — but his subject matter contained a hilarious storyline, told from the point of view of an overly enthusiastic male fan of a female streamer. Internet regulars will have seen the term ‘simp’ thrown around on online spaces, which is generally used to refer to male fans who will do anything to impress a female content creator or social media personality. The word has seemed to replace the once-popular ‘white knight’ phrase, and was the subject of Jake’s song “Just a Simp,” which follows the story of ‘simp’ Jake trying to catch the attention of social media mogul ‘Evelyn.’ Jake uploaded a music video for the song to his YouTube channel on March 5, which included choreography from dancing group ‘The Fatal Dance Girls’ and placed HAchubby in the role of the object of his affections. The two streamers’ hilarious sense of humor and surprising musical talent made for an entertaining video, which contained a slew of tongue-in-cheek quips about ‘simps’ on Twitch. “I want more stupid viewers,” HAchubby raps in Korean. “I want more donations for my channel / I just have to change clothes and sweet talk / It’s easy for me.” “Currently a VIP, one day an M-O-D,” Jake’n’Bake continues. “If I ever miss action, I’ll just watch the V-O-D.” That’s not all: Tempo Storm also uploaded two separate videos of the streamers’ music-making process, including their work in the studio and even showing how they filmed the music video on Twitch. This marks one of the internet’s more ambitious projects, filmed in front of a live online audience with two of Twitch’s top content creators. While the song might not top the music charts, it’s certainly a testament to how far creative projects have come — and how interesting they can be when put on the spot in front of thousands of people.

On September 18, Sliker released an apology video regarding the events surrounding the alleged scams. The streamer has been called out on multiple occasions of money extortion targeting his loyal viewers or other streamers. In his apology video, he stated “I used to gamble a lot of my money. Basically, all my Twitch money,” The Twitch streamer continues, “I would come across streamers and ask them if I could borrow money. I wouldn’t give them the reason obviously. Because it was gambling I would lie to them.” HAchubby’s conflict with Sliker HAChubby was among the people Sliker borrowed money from. She lost thousands of dollars to the streamer. While on stream, she tells the viewers what she went through, sharing the messages between Sliker and herself. “Sorry hachu, really really really really sorry. I have a huge problem right now,” Sliker writes to Hachu. He blames it on the depression, while also stating he “doesn’t have much from stream.” Hachu replies, “Look, I believe you’d at least try to pay me back. I’m still in a tough situation paying off a lot of debts, and I really need the money.” After showing the text to her viewers, she begins breaking down on stream. “Money doesn’t matter at the time. I’m just sad because he didn’t think about me. He just didn’t give a f**k about me. “I thought he was my friend.” Hachu cries while sharing her side of the story, clearly hurt by Sliker’s attitude towards her as a friend. But thankfully, Matthew ‘Mizkif’ Rinaudo helps HAchubby out. Mizkif Donates thousands to HAchubby During HAchubby’s stream, Mizkif donates to her the full amount owed from Slicker. Upon receiving the donation, HAchubby exclaims, “What? Why?!” She grabs onto her hair, clearly shocked. “That’s Sliker’s fault! Why you give back to me, why you? “You don’t have to pay me! It was Sliker fault!” Mizkif quietly stares at the screen, watching HAchubby’s reaction. After the initial reaction, Mizkif tells his viewers why he gave HAchubby the money. Not only did he know HAchubby needed it, he also mentions he “saw the thing xQc would do. And that is this.” For context, xQc stated he’d reimburse 50% of those who were scammed by Sliker.

HAchubby accidentally calls security on herself after finding bizarre robot – Dexerto
HAchubby accidentally calls security on herself after finding bizarre robot Twitch: AndyMilonakisPopular Twitch streamer HAchubby was left to give out repeated apologies after managed to call mall security on herself when approached by an in-store robot. Despite not having the follower numbers of some of her fellow IRL (in-real-life) streamers, HAchubby has become a must-watch streamer for anyone who likes to watch public hijinx. In recent weeks, the Korean broadcaster has been galavanting around Los Angeles with fellow streamer AngelsKimi, as well as linking up with the OfflineTV crew – leading to speculation that she might join. Yet, during her January 30 stream, HAchubby was streaming alongside Andy Milonakis when she was left to her own devices at the mall and found herself poking and prodding at a security robot. While taking a break from jumping in and out of stores, the popular Korean streamer came around a strange-looking robot in the middle of an aisle that had messages about chatting with it printed across the side. Despite being confused by it, asking her chat “what is that?” a few times, the streamer followed the instructions but instead of just getting a generic conversation, she quickly found herself on the phone with mall security. Though, once she realized what was going on and she was actually talking to a real person, HAchubby quickly had to apologize. “Oh I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry – it’s a mistake,” she said. “Sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t know.” However, while many prank calls and hoaxes can lead to repercussions for wasting someone’s time, HAchu didn’t find herself needing to apologize any further, explaining to the chat that she really didn’t know it was the ‘police’. The security talking via the robot quickly hung up and let the streamer go her own way, reuniting with Andy a few minutes later – still pretty embarrassed by what had just unfolded with the talking robot.

At the time of this article, the Korean personality has over 164k followers to her channel. An astonishing feat, given she started 2019 with just a couple hundred followers.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein slams “unacceptable” hate after Trisha Paytas quits Frenemies – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein slams “unacceptable” hate after Trisha Paytas quits Frenemies YouTube: H3 Podcast/ blndsundoll4mjH3H3’s Ethan Klein has responded in now-deleted tweets to Trisha Paytas’ shock exit from the Frenemies podcast after a heated feud over money. YouTube stars Trisha Paytas and Ethan Klein have had a history of not seeing eye-to-eye. In May 2019, for example, Klein notably sparked a feud with Paytas after criticizing them for photoshopping their body in a video that quickly went viral. However, in October 2019, Klein invited Paytas onto his podcast to discuss their differences, quickly becoming a regular and popular show called Frenemies. But after almost 40 episodes, Trisha decided to shockingly call it quits and revealed why in a video uploaded to their YouTube channel on June 8, saying “I’m leaving to ease the tension everywhere…I don’t want to be the toxicity in their machine.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPxK2pY2mUA In a recent episode of the podcast, the pair got into a disagreement regarding how they decide who to hire, with Paytas arguing they had no input, following on with criticism over production costs and a new studio Ethan purchased for the H3H3 podcast. Klein claimed that they got a “generous” cut of the show’s profits, but Trisha wanted to be involved in the larger business decisions. After Klein accused them of “gaslighting,” they asked to end the podcast. In now-deleted tweets, Ethan responded to the news revealing that he was upset, unaware that Trisha was about to quit, but that he was grateful that “beautiful experiment” Frenemies was able to happen at all, and something he would “always cherish.” However, he also revealed that he was “losing his cool” as his crew on the podcast had received so much hate on their personal Instagram accounts that they had to privatize them. He also touched on the issue of how much of a stake Trisha had in the podcast, writing, “While Trisha keeps complaining about money, every single cent I’ve ever made from Frenemies is tied up in Frenemies merch that doesn’t come out for another month — of which she will still get 50% of the profits. Paid for, designed, produced by us. And I am treating her unfairly…” Shortly after, Ethan deleted some of the comments before tweeting again, “shouldn’t have said that on Twitter — I’m going to take a step back for the evening.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1402503866738876418?s=20 Trisha has not spoken on the situation since Ethan responded, but either way, it is certainly disappointing news for the Frenemies fanbase and marks an end to an iconic YouTube podcast series.

H3H3’s Ethan Questions the Legitimacy of the Beef Between KSI and Logan Paul Ahead of YouTuber Boxing Fight – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Questions the Legitimacy of the Beef Between KSI and Logan Paul Ahead of YouTuber Boxing Fight The YouTuber boxing super fight between KSI and Logan Paul is set to be one of the biggest streamed events in internet history, but not everyone is convinced. Ethan from H3H3 Productions has expressed his doubts about whether the beef between the pair is actually real, and has even suggested they call each other and laugh about how much money they’re going to make. KSI and Logan Paul’s boxing match will take place on August 25th at the Manchester Arena in London, but it was their first press conference in LA that highlighted the event to other YouTubers. H3H3’s Ethan discussed the press conference on his podcast, but didn’t seem remotely impressed by the situation. Ethan has been known to provide fairly substantial criticism of both the Logan brothers following their high profile antics, which included Logan’s decision to upload a vlog featuring a dead body in a suicide forest. When discussing the dress sense and trash talk during the press conference, Ethan hit out at the Paul brothers. “Who are you guys? Look at Logan and Jake Paul, who the fuck are you? There is nothing genuine about these people. They’re flying in the wind. They don’t know who they are.” “These are the people that YouTube selects to promote, and highlight, and endorse. I don’t know what it is by nature, it’s almost like survival of the fittest on YouTube. It’s like you have to be this inauthentic, oil slick that floats in the water to rise to the top.” The Paul bashing continued, but it was towards the end of the segment where he raised concerns about the legitimacy of the fight. “It’s so obvious that they are pretending to play a role. I wouldn’t even be surprised, if I’m being honest, if these guys talked regularly on the phone. Just colluding to make this the biggest event ever because their whole thing is that it’s going to be McGregor vs Mayfield. “Bigger!” That’s how they’re presenting it. “This is crazier!” I bet these guys talk on the phone and they just jerk off about how much money they’re going to make.” Ethan goes on to say he feels conflicted by the subject, because he understands the brilliance of having a boxing match between YouTubers, but he continues to question who Logan is as a person.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein slams Noah Beck for promoting “scam” – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein slams Noah Beck for promoting “scam” YT: Ethan Klein/IG: Noah BeckEthan Klein, popular YouTuber behind H3H3, has hit out at TikTok star Noah Beck for promoting a “scam” abs toner product to his 14.9 million followers. The growth of TikTok has led to a brand new wave of internet celebrities, many of who have amassed monumental followings on the Beijing-based social media platform. One of these individuals in Noah Beck who, at the time of writing, sits at just shy of 15 million followers. With such a following comes the opportunity for sponsorship and brand deals, the likes of which saw Beck promoting an abs toner product. However, this particular promotion left Klein less than impressed. The product is an abs stimulator, apparently designed to give the user more definition and tone without having to exercise and properly work out. Klein responded to the promotion in his own TikTok, calling it a clear “scam” and hitting out at Beck for promoting the item to his audience. “So it’s nice to see this scam made it to TikTok,” Klein said. “This has been around since basically television came out, they’ve been selling this to house wives and lazy people who just want abs and do nothing, but it’s a total scam.” The remainder of the TikTok continues in the same way, with Klein hitting out at Beck and contradicting his claims about the product, even joking that it’s a “transformer”. He finishes by reiterating that he believes it to be a “scam,” and suggests that TikTok stars should take more responsibility for the products they promote, especially when their audiences are made up of mostly young people. Beck has not responded to the criticism. Beck is not the first to promote ‘ab toners’ on social media, with a host of celebrities and professional athletes – including Cristiano Ronaldo – have been sponsored by similar products.

He went on to call Hila his “beautiful, pregnant wife,” and claimed that she was the reason that “anything good has happened” in his life. That wasn’t all; Klein went on to write a short diss track calling out the YouTuber, reminding Le that Hila is a “self-made millionaire” who served in Israel’s armed forces for two years. He went on to show footage of Le’s appearance on Logan Paul’s ‘imPaulsive’ podcast, where he claimed that he “got the bag” despite feeling remorse surrounding his involvement with a possible gambling and scam website (which allegedly paid the YouTuber over $100,000 for promoting its services) . “Yeah, but she got the bag without selling her soul,” Klein said of the debacle. “…you chase clout to fill a hole in your soul.” The beef between the two YouTubers began after Klein called out RiceGum for promoting MysterBrand.net, an alleged scam website that appeared to promote gambling to Le’s young audience. RiceGum has yet to reply to Klein’s video as of January 20.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein slams Joe Rogan over health comments – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein slams Joe Rogan over health comments YouTube: H3 Podcast / Instagram: joeroganEthan Klein is taking aim at Joe Rogan on Twitter, calling out the podcast host for his comments about health, as well as his infamous ivermectin dosage. Ethan Klein, of comedy duo H3H3, is not holding back his thoughts about podcast host and UFC color commentator Joe Rogan, taking aim specifically at his opinions on health and wellness. Joe Rogan has notably gone on the ‘Carnivore Diet,’ a regimen where he only eats meat and direct animal products like milk and eggs. On top of that, Rogan is known for prioritizing his physical fitness. He’s often working out, lifting, and touting combat sports like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The JRE host has also made headlines for his response to the ongoing health crisis, claiming that he self-medicated with ivermectin after testing positive — a medicine that can be used to treat parasitic worms in both people and horses. The FDA has warned against using ivermectin to treat the virus. Ethan Klein slams Joe Rogan on Twitter On January 4, Klein vented his frustrations about Rogan’s comments on health, citing his past treatments and diet. “Joe Rogan, who lives on elk meat, egg yolk, and human growth hormone, with lungs full of tar, thinks he’s healthier than everyone,” he wrote. “This mfer is such a b***h that when he got [the virus] he threw ‘the kitchen sink at it’ — if you’re so healthy, just ride it out like you say a man should.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1478301869797560321 Klein went on to call Rogan a “f**king piece of s**t” after claiming that the host made negative comments regarding overweight people on his podcast, and made several other posts slamming the host. Klein has also come under fire for his posts, receiving a slew of backlash over his comments and even trending across Twitter. Twitch star Hasan has also commented on the matter, with plans to discuss Klein’s tweets on a broadcast. https://twitter.com/hasanthehun/status/1478451867491323908 Joe Rogan has yet to respond to Klein at the time of writing.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein slams Logan Paul for Roman Atwood stalker comments – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein slams Logan Paul for Roman Atwood stalker comments YouTube: H3 Podcast / imPaulsiveEthan Klein of comedy duo H3H3 along with KEEMSTAR have hit out at Logan Paul after the YouTuber-turned-pro boxer claimed that the stalker of fellow creator Roman Atwood should have gone after them, instead. For those out of the loop, this YouTube feud started after influencer Roman Atwood — the popular patriarch behind his viral family vlogs — opened up about his year-long break from content creation, claiming that stalkers had been threatening his family’s safety. According to Atwood, the stalkers changed his family’s mailing address, sent them photos from their private home security system, and even called in a bomb threat during a family funeral. Needless to say, this shocking development was quick to make the rounds between other influencers, even becoming a topic of discussion on Logan Paul’s popular ‘Impaulsive’ podcast. It seems that Paul was quite riled up about the situation, even going so far as to say that the stalker should have gone after popular drama channels such as H3H3, calling him and other similar personalities “the scum of the internet.” “Why couldn’t they get like, the scum of the internet?” Paul asked. “Like KEEMSTAR or H3H3? Honestly!” Logan Paul saying that Roman Atwood’s stalkers—who literally made Roman and his family leave the internet for one year—should have targeted H3 and Keemstar instead. pic.twitter.com/G7QCE6NutZ — Def Noodles (@defnoodles) January 30, 2021 Unsurprisingly, this didn’t sit well with Klein, who shot back at Logan in a series of video responses — including a humorous TikTok and YouTube stream. “HAHAHAHA!” Klein laughed. “He does not know how f**king petty I am. I am the king of petty beef, and if this b*tch wants to step in, all I needed was a crumb, and this b*tch handed me the fucking loaf!” In his YouTube broadcast, Klein was quick to remind Logan that he and his wife had been swatted on three separate occasions, and even had to move because of these incidents. “I don’t know if that’s enough harassment for you to be satisfied,” he hit back. “Roman Atwood has kids, but Logan’s like, ‘Ethan’s kids don’t matter. Let’s send them to harass Ethan.’” “If you’re Logan Paul, you stop short at calling people ‘scum of the internet,’” he continued. “You have a long and illustrious past, which you’re very happy for people to forget, because you’ve apparently evolved, right?” (Topic begins at 2:10) KEEMSTAR responds to Logan Paul KEEMSTAR, who was also mentioned by Logan, had his own video response on Twitter on January 30. “First of all, I have kids,” he said, “H3H3 has kids. Why would you even say that, Logan, that’s so messed up.” He continued by saying, “I hate H3H3, he is the scum of the Earth, but I wouldn’t want any of my fans to harass him in real life. And I would hope that I would get the same respect back from Ethan, that he wouldn’t want his fans to harass me in real life – even though his fans did, and have.” Although Logan Paul has yet to officially respond to Klein’s callout at the time of writing, this is one beef that we didn’t expect to come out of 2021 — although at this point, it seems almost anything is on the table.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein slams Greg Paul in Shane Dawson docuseries finale – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein slams Greg Paul in Shane Dawson docuseries finale YouTube Duo Ethan and Hila ‘H3H3’ Klein discussed the finale of Shane Dawson’s eight-part series covering YouTuber Jake Paul on their H3 Podcast – and Ethan had a savage takeaway from the documentary’s final episode. He referenced the Paul family patriarch, Greg Paul, who was shown in a clip during the finale crowd surfing in a group of Jake Paul’s fans during a live event. “Greg Paul is the biggest fucking douche on the planet,” Ethan said of the clip. “That’s what I’ve determined, if anything, from this.” They then referenced the age of Jake’s fanbase and subsequently cringed that Greg would crowd surf in a crowd of ‘twelve-year-olds.’ “You’re being carried by kids, dude – they can’t bear the load,” Ethan said as Greg sank into the ground. “Just say no, not for me. You’re 50 years old. …They’re a bunch of twelve-year-olds trying to carry your fat ass.” Ethan then compared the age gap of Jake’s fans to Greg with the allegations against him, which have claimed that he had sexual relations with an underage girl, as leaked by a censored video that reportedly shows Paul and a minor engaging in sexual acts. “Age ain’t nothing but a number – that’s kind of what Greg Paul does,” Ethan said. “Allegedly.” While a group of hackers claiming to be behind the leak have threatened Paul with blackmail, he has refused to budge. He has likewise declined to file a police report over the matter, as well.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein slams Jake Paul for alleged gambling scam fiasco – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein slams Jake Paul for alleged gambling scam fiasco H3H3 Productions, YouTube / Jake Paul, YouTubePopular YouTuber Ethan Klein of comedy duo ‘H3H3’ is joining the ranks of YouTubers calling out Jake Paul and Ricegum for promoting an alleged scam site in their recent videos – as well as potentially advertising a gambling service to their young audiences. Jake Paul uploaded a video on December 30 advertising the website ‘MysteryBrand.net,’ a service that allows users to pay a set amount of money to open a box of their choice with the chance of winning luxury items and name-brand clothing – or nothing at all. Paul’s video has since garnered widespread criticism from viewers, with one fan claiming that she got scammed out of a “large amount of money” in a comment. Ethan Klein is the latest to take issue with Paul’s video, which he analyzed in his own video on January 2. Klein noticed how excited and off-the-wall Paul seemed while promoting the website, and expressed concern that he was encouraging gambling in his relatively young viewer base. “I don’t think I need to look much deeper into this to know it’s a very strange, overseas scam,” Klein stated. “…when you introduce what is quite literally gambling to an eight to 12 year old… and this is supposed to be a family friendly site. This is bananas.” Paul went on to react to Klein’s video on Twitter, writing, “Love this video,” in response to his Tweet. Klein answered Paul’s post with an incredulous reply. “You loved being called out for selling a gambling scam to underage kids?” Klein responded. “K.” Klein isn’t the only YouTuber to have called out Paul for the scheme, either; Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR likewise took issue with the website, calling out Paul in a Tweet on December 30. You loved being called out for selling a gambling scam to underage kids? K https://t.co/mWsJGnnZ4j — Ethan Klein (@h3h3productions) January 2, 2019 Jake Paul has since responded to Klein’s reply, confirming his stance by writing, “Yes, love it!”

H3H3’s Ethan Klein roasts James Charles after social media return YouTube: H3 Podcast / Instagram: jamescharlesH3H3’s Ethan Klein has called out beauty YouTuber James Charles on Twitter after the influencer returned to social media following his controversy. James Charles came under fire online in March after he was hit with several accusations of inappropriately messaging underage boys.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein reveals why David Dobrik hasn’t addressed NFT “scam” backlash – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein reveals why David Dobrik hasn’t addressed NFT “scam” backlash H3H3 podcast host Ethan Klein has revealed why David Dobrik hasn’t addressed his NFT “scam” controversy, claiming that Dobrik’s legal team is advising him against releasing his podcast with FaZe Banks discussing the situation. YouTube star David Dobrik is one of the platform’s biggest creators with over 18M subscribers amassed from his wacky videos. However, once considered the king of YouTube vlogging, he’s come under fire as many others have for his involvement with an NFT scam. In March 2022, the popular vlogger was called out by FaZe Banks for his involvement in a “$6M scam”, where he was paid to promote Bored Bunny NFTs. Banks even revealed at the time that he was offered $500-750k to promote the same project, but turned it down. David invited the FaZe Clan co-owner onto his VIEWS podcast to discuss the situation. However, the episode has yet to see the light of day. During the April 22 episode of the H3 podcast, Ethan Klein noted that David Dobrik’s podcast with FaZe Banks discussing his alleged NFT “scam” never even aired. “You guys may remember FaZe Banks went on David Dobrik’s podcast and confronted him for this crypto scam that he was a part of. They had a whole long discussion about it, it was about a month ago but it never came out,” said the H3H3 host. He continued, adding that he even messaged Banks to ask about the podcast that didn’t go public and read out the response: “He said it was unfortunately cut, he told me his legal couldn’t let it go out the way it is. He said it sucks too because they had a candidate interview about it, but we’re working on a reshoot.” (Timestamp at 2:38:55) Following the accusations of the alleged scam, Banks revealed that the YouTube vlogger is planning to pay back the $100,000 he earned for promoting the failed NFT project by “redistributing that money back into the ecosystem.” With the two working on “reshooting” the podcast, it’s likely we’ll see the conversation between the two discussing the situation at some point.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein responds after Trisha Paytas reveals appearance on Keemstar’s podcast Instagram: keemstar YouTube: H3 Podcast / blndsundoll4mjYouTuber Ethan Klein has responded to Trisha Paytas revealing they’ll be going on Keemstar’s podcast, ‘Mom’s Basement,’ saying the situation “just really makes [him] sad.” Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas once co-hosted the immensely popular podcast Frenemies, where they discussed drama and played games for their millions of viewers. The show came to an end in June, however, after an argument about profit splitting lead to Trisha leaving the show for good. Since then, Trisha has gone on to talk about drama in a series on their own YouTube channel called ‘Enemies.’ In an August 5 episode, they criticized YouTuber Keemstar for dating someone almost 20 years younger than him. On August 11, Keemstar sent Trisha a video via Twitter in which he said “we have a lot to discuss,” asking them to reach out. Ethan also called the YouTuber out, and went on to reveal that they’d received a week-long suspension, claiming Keemstar was talking with YouTube about it behind the scenes. https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1425616759063683081 Ethan and Keemstar have feuded in the past, and he went on to claim that the drama YouTuber “harassed” him and his wife “for a whole summer.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1425621544395444225 Trisha set to appear on ‘Mom’s Basement’ Then on August 15, it was revealed that Trisha was going to be on an episode of Keemstar’s podcast ‘Mom’s Basement,’ with a picture of them all in the studio immediately getting shared across Twitter.

Because I believe in discussion , debate and trying to change ppls minds — Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) August 15, 2021 The response to the picture of Trisha in the Mom’s Basement studio has so far been largely negative, and with the episode yet to air, there could be more drama to come.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein reveals toxic relationship between Jake and Logan Paul – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein reveals toxic relationship between Jake and Logan Paul YouTube duo Ethan and Hila ‘H3H3’ Klein discussed Shane Dawson’s recent documentary series over social media star Jake Paul on their H3 Podcast. During the broadcast, Ethan related a private conversation that he and Jake had around the time of a previous H3 podcast, where Paul revealed that his relationship with his older brother, Logan, was incredibly toxic. “I said, ‘Tell me straight – how are you guys?’” he recalled. “‘Because it seems really toxic.’ And [Paul] said, ‘Honestly, it’s really bad. We honestly really hate each other.’” Ethan stated Paul had told him this in ‘complete earnestness’ off-camera, in a hallway outside of the set. In addition, Ethan revealed that Logan had actually slept with Jake’s ex-girlfriend, Alissa Violet, which he referenced in a diss track to his brother. “But Jake was like, ‘Dude, I know that’s good for views, but that actually hurts my feelings,’” Ethan recollected Jake saying. The two’s relationship will likely be further explored in Dawson’s docuseries over Jake Paul, which has already been hinted at in its latest episode. While Dawson explores the possibility of the YouTuber being a sociopath, he likewise entertains the idea that living in Logan’s shadow could have had an adverse effect on Jake’s behavior. Klein himself stated that he didn’t believe Jake to be a bad person, citing Jake’s previous appearance on the H3 podcast. While their aforementioned conversation took place about a year ago, Logan appears to be taken off-guard by his mention in the docuseries, as he tweeted that he might make a statement regarding the project. The series’ newest episode, ‘The Dark Side of Jake Paul,’ has already garnered over thirteen million views, and could compete with Dawson’s previous pieces covering Jeffree Starr and TanaCon.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein Hits Back at KSI & Logan Paul For Taking Down his Boxing Match Reaction Video – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein Hits Back at KSI & Logan Paul For Taking Down his Boxing Match Reaction Video YouTube / H3H3Ethan Klein of H3H3 is seriously not happy with KSI, Logan Paul and their respective agencies, after a video in which he reacted to the boxing match was hit with a copyright strike – blocking it worldwide. The KSI vs Logan Paul fight was a pay-per-view live event on YouTube, the first of its kind, and the copyright holders were aggressively shutting down other streams and videos popping up on YouTuber (although not on Twitch). However, ‘transformative’ content based on the fight (i.e reaction videos/compilations etc.) are usually safe from breaching the copyright rules on YouTube. Klein himself is experienced in this area, after his H3H3 show won a lawsuit on the very issue, where they were upheld in their belief that their use of another YouTuber’s content was transformative, and therefore did not breach copyright. But, due to a video on the H3H3 channel reacting to the boxing matches between both KSI and Logan, and Jake Paul vs Deji, the agency responsible were able to have the video blocked from being available worldwide, which was not to Klein’s liking: “I didn’t even show footage [of the event], because I knew they were going to be dicks about it. The only thing I showed was a compilation of Jake Paul getting punched in the face, which by the way has intrinsic artistic value. So for them to block it, worldwide? You stupid assholes. And here’s the best part. I disputed and said ‘hey, idiots, release the claim.’ And they can keep it down for 30 days. YouTube gives them 30 days to just sit on that, and keep it down. Like, the video should go up, if I dispute it. It’s crazy.” Klein also pointed out a hypocrisy in the situation, as KSI himself is known for making reaction videos, in a similar vein to H3H3’s own content. “They’re wilfully abusing the systems that YouTube has put in place, and it’s just so lame. Especially KSI because he does reaction videos, he relies on other people’s content. The Paul brothers you can’t expect anything from them ever. […] It’s just so frustrating, because I didn’t even show the footage. I literally, explicitly avoided showing the footage, because I wanted to avoid this. And now, 30 days and I can do nothing, it’s just so f’d up. So, fuck these guys.” Klein has had more than his fair share of run ins with YouTube and it’s loophole prone policy around copyright issues, and perhaps given his following he will be able to have the strike removed before the 30 day period. Neither YouTube nor KSI or Logan Paul’s representation have commented on the matter at the time of writing.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein hits out at YouTube for demonetizing Papa John podcast – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein hits out at YouTube for demonetizing Papa John podcast YouTube: H3 PodcastH3H3Productions’ Ethan Klein has hit out at YouTube for demonetizing the latest episode of the H3 Podcast, which featured a long-awaited interview with Papa John’s founder John Schnatter. For fans of YouTube, Ethan and Hila Klein are an instantly recognizable couple, with a legendary career on the site that has seen them roast, criticize, and make jokes about fellow content creators, trends, or drama that has hit the site and the famous faces who make a living from the platform. Long-time viewers will have heard Ethan say “Papa Bless” thousands of times across various channels, all a direct reference to John Schnatter, who founded Papa John’s Pizza. Eight years since the joke began, the former CEO of the company finally appeared on an episode of the H3 Podcast, but Klein has been left frustrated with YouTube’s actions following the release of the episode. Since releasing the 174th episode of his podcast on Monday, February 10, the episode featuring Papa John himself has already amassed over 650,000 views, an incredible number considering the video has only been live for around 24 hours. It appears that it won’t be appearing on YouTube‘s “Trending” tab any time soon though, which is where videos that have quickly gained popularity on the platform appear, allowing users to see what others are watching and enjoying on the site. In a tweet posted early on Tuesday, February 11, Klein complained that not only had they removed it from the Trending tab but that he would also not be making any earnings from the podcast, writing: “Shout out to YouTube for demonetizing [the] Papa John interview and removing it from trending.” Shout out to @TeamYouTube for demonetizing Papa John interview and removing it from trending — Ethan Klein (@h3h3productions) February 11, 2020 Klein has refrained from revealing what caused the video to be demonetized, or if he had spoken to YouTube about the issue. Dexerto has reached out to the YouTuber for comment. Schnatter has come under criticism in the past regarding comments he made regarding national anthem protests by NFL players, calling out the league’s commissioner Roger Goodell for not acting. He remained as chairman of Papa John’s Pizza until July 2018 when he resigned from the board of directors.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein explains why Tfue’s FaZe contract is “evil” – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein explains why Tfue’s FaZe contract is “evil” H3 Highlights, Tfue / YouTubePopular Fortnite Battle Royale pro Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has been the talk of the gaming community, after suing esports organization FaZe over his contract – an binding agreement that YouTuber and commentator Ethan Klein feels is “disgraceful.” Klein discussed Tfue’s contract drama during an episode of the H3 Podcast on May 24, where he called the agreement “evil” and “predatory,” noting the 80/20 and 50/50 splits in favor of FaZe – as well as the clause that would prevent Tfue from competing for six months after termination. “That kind of clause has no place in a contract,” Klein said of the matter. “In the real world, that would be so illegal, so wildly inappropriate. For them to even include this is shocking, it’s appalling, it’s a shame. It’s a disgrace. It’s an embarrassment.” Klein went on to call for more regulation in the esports industry, arguing that the gamers involved in building up the enterprise are largely young, hungry, and “vulnerable rising stars.” This wouldn’t be the first time Klein has spoken out on the issue, either; he even called for Tfue to release the contract himself, claiming that one of FaZe co-owner Ricky Banks’ Tweets on the subject was a breach of NDA. This tweet seems like a breach of confidentiality which could void any NDA you may have signed @TTfue, meaning you could release the contract yourself. — Ethan Klein (@h3h3productions) May 23, 2019 “This tweet seems like a breach of confidentiality, which could void any NDA you may have signed Tfue, meaning you could release the contract yourself,” Klein wrote. FaZe has since claimed that they offered Tfue a number of new contracts with far more lucrative deals for the gaming pro, which included such benefits as a seven-figure salary with no splits, whatsoever. However, FaZe CEO Lee Trink claims that Tfue never wanted to sign a new contract, alleging that their Fortnite Battle Royale star hopes to ultimately be freed from FaZe to begin his own esports organization – hence his lawsuit. Tfue’s move has since been met with mixed opinions on both sides, with some fans finding the sudden lawsuit a major betrayal to FaZe Banks and the organization that aided in his current popularity, while others applaud Tenney for calling out his oppressive contract.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein explains why he hesitates to call PewDiePie a “friend” – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein explains why he hesitates to call PewDiePie a “friend” YouTube: h3 podcast / PewDiePie[jwplayer WoEIAzj2]During the May 9 episode of the H3 podcast, host Ethan Klein opened up about his relationship with Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg. The comedian congratulated the the Swede on his streaming deal with YouTube Gaming. It’s been years since H3H3 and PewDiePie have collaborated together. On the H3 podcast, the Swedish entertainer being on the show only to cancel at the last minute has become a running gag. This has left some fans wondering if they are still close. During the show’s latest episode, host Ethan Klein opened up to viewers about how he sees their relationship, and revealed they don’t actually talk very often. H3H3’s Ethan Klein clarifies friendship with PewDiePie During the latest episode of the H3 podcast, Ethan congratulated Pewds on signing a major deal with YouTube Gaming to stream exclusively on their platform. The host called it a “reconciliation between YouTube and PewDiePie.” However upon congratulating him, he stopped short of calling him a friend. “So congratulations to my uh.. What is PewDiePie? I hesitate to call him… To my good dude PewDiePie on his exclusive streaming deal!” The podcast’s producer then cut in and asked, “You can’t call him a friend?” Klein replied, “I think I can call him a friend. Frankly we don’t talk that much. We do talk occasionally. We are definitely friendly. I would hesitate to call him a friend. I don’t want to overstate the closeness. I think a friend is regular contact. We’re friendly, we are definitely friendly.” (Timestamp 12:15 for mobile users.) In 2015, PewDiePie flew out to Los Angeles to film the second season of ‘Scare PewDiePie.’ Before leaving, he sat down for an interview with Ethan, in what would end up becoming the second episode of the podcast. The Swede also helped promote the newly launched show, commenting on the video in 2016 and stating “Only podcast I’m tuned in for am, thanks for having me on!” The two creators have not made content together since their 2017 collaboration, however Klein has praised the Swedish star on his show in the past. In August 2019, the host stated he deserved his success exclaiming, “He grinds so hard. He’s been doing it for so long.” Only time will tell if the two creators will ever collaborate again. For now, fans will have to settle on being teased each week that PewDiePie will be “definitely” be on the H3 podcast… Next time. On May 5, the Swedish entertainer celebrated his 10th anniversary on YouTube. While reflecting on his career, he mentioned a vlog he had made with Ethan and Hila, so who knows – maybe the door is still open for a reunion in the future.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein confronts JiDion for labeling him a “liberal racist” – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein confronts JiDion for labeling him a “liberal racist” YouTube: H3 Podcast / YouTube: JiDionH3H3’s Ethan Klein invited JiDion to his podcast to air their grievances after the latter called the former a “liberal racist” for his reaction to his video about “the most racist town in America”. Klein said while JiDion had “good intentions”, he was ill-equipped for the video. However, JiDion defended his stance. H3H3 and JiDion have been going at it — slightly, at least — after Ethan Klein reacted to the JiDion’s viral video named “I went to the most racist town in America!” The 21-minute video, which has more than 9 million views, showcases JiDion going around some of America’s most notorious towns for racism, namely Harrison and Zinc, Arkansas. He talked to minorities along the way, and also tried to break the stigma around these towns’ titles. H3H3 was individually called out for being a “liberal racist” by JiDion after reacting to the video, which rubbed Klein the wrong way. So when the two confronted each other on H3H3’s podcast, they had to address the elephant in the room immediately. “You accused me of — what I felt like was a light jab about ‘The Most Racist Town in America’ video you made — you called me a ‘liberal racist’,” Klein opened. “I am intrigued by that, I was just hoping you unpacked it a little more in your video so maybe you could do that for me.” JiDion defended his stance though, saying that while conventional norms of racism are well known, ‘liberal racism’ is often brushed “under the rug”. “I don’t think I called you a ‘liberal racist’ because personally I don’t think you’re a racist. I said ‘this was liberal racism’. I said the same thing about Hasan,” he said. “What comes under the rug and people don’t talk about is liberal racism, and what I think [that] is… like white people thinking they know better than black people, thinking they have to save us. It’s more of like a white savior complex.” JiDion said he felt patronized by H3H3’s reaction to the video, and while he doesn’t regret what he said, he “regrets how [he] phrased it”. Klein pushed back at this explanation somewhat, saying JiDion was ill-equipped to handle some of the conversations he was getting himself involved with by touring around the towns. “The criticism of that video was you went there and you’re like ‘we can talk with these people’,” he said. “You’re talking to that KKK guy who’s basically like ‘you can’t come to my church’ and he thinks whites and black people should be separated, so you kind of just gave him a platform to talk uncontested. “We all see that the video had good intentions and we get what you’re trying to do out there. I’ve made this mistake before… when you talk to people that incendiary and that indefensible, lying and misleading sh*t, you have to be equipped to respond to it appropriately. You have to be prepared, else they’re left to say whatever they want kind of unchecked and in a way you let the guy give his platform up without challenging him in a way that would have been meaningful.” JiDion did admit he didn’t exactly know what he was getting himself into, but he wanted to attempt to paint a balanced picture of these towns which he believes so often get mislabeled. “When I got there, got talking to the minorities of the place, figuring out and learning that ‘it’s not actually the town of Harrison, it’s the little town of Zinc’. Then going over to Zinc and finding out it’s not even there, it’s literally just that compound and how everyone in that area doesn’t like them. “Everyone was cussing them out and talking about how much they dislike them, and then I go on his property to talk to him, and me personally — if I was to go there, he talked, and I was like ‘you f**king racist, you’re wrong’ — it would have gotten a lot of clicks, but what it would have got done?” However, from there the two made up and kept the conversation going respectfully for half an hour, discussing all manner of topics.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein deletes tweet about Tana Mongeau after Streamys award H3H3’s Ethan Klein roasted Tana Mongeau’s ‘Creator of the Year’ award at the Streamy Awards 2019, but later deleted the tweets. The Streamy Awards wrapped up its annual ceremony on December 13, as online content creators from around the world gathered to celebrate the best of their industry in 2019. However, YouTube comedian Ethan Klein of H3H3 took shots at Creator of the Year award winner Tana Mongeau, with a callback to a video he made about her earlier in the year. Ethan Klein roasts Tana Mongeau’s Streamy Award win In a now deleted tweet, the host of the ‘h3’ podcast cracked a joke about the Creator of the Year winner. “Congratulations to Tana Mongeau for winning Creator Of The Year!” he said. “Thank you for being courageously yourself and a positive role model for young people everywhere.” The social media post included an attached photo of her from his video titled ‘Instagram vs Reality’ that showed the star in a side-by-side comparison to highlight the use of Photoshop editing. Read More: Dr Disrespect mocks shroud’s Game Awards win – In the video he posted in May, the comedian highlighted how influencers and models use photo editing software to alter their body to look different from real life, and argued it gives their followers unrealistic expectations as to what beauty is. The YouTuber then deleted the tweet and explained what happened to his followers who had missed the post. “She won streamy for creator of the year for those who are confused, and well deserved!” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1205762977355317248 He then followed that up with an explanation for why he had removed the joke, stating, “Alright y’all I feel bad I’m removing it god bless!” as it seems he felt it was bit harsh upon further reflection. Despite the comedian’s intention of making a joke, some on the platform took issue with it, although most seemed to praise the podcast host for changing his mind and removing it. As of the time of this article, Tana Mongeau has not responded to Klein’s tweet, although she celebrated her Streamy Award win on social media. While Klein ended up removing the post, the comedian is sure to bring it up on the h3 podcast which currently has over 2.1 million subscribers, making it one of the largest shows on YouTube.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein claims Jeff Wittek threatened him in DMs after podcast mention – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein claims Jeff Wittek threatened him in DMs after podcast mention YouTube: H3 Podcast / Jeff WittekEthan Klein, of comedy duo H3H3, has claimed that fellow YouTuber Jeff Wittek threatened him in private messages after being mentioned on the H3 podcast. Jeff Wittek shocked the internet after revealing the serious injury he’d received after participating in a stunt for one of David Dobrik’s famously chaotic vlogs. In the video, Dobrik swung his friends around on an excavator at high speeds in the middle of a lake. While Jeff was taking his turn on the dangerous joyride, he received an injury that doctors claimed could have resulted in the loss of his left eye. The incident was recorded on film and went viral across social media. Wittek went on to create an entire documentary about the accident, but claimed he wouldn’t sue his friend for damages. Ethan Klein brought up Wittek’s wound during a recent episode of his H3 TV Twitch stream, where he noted that Wittek had tried his hand at the Milk Crate challenge for one of Dobrik’s videos. It’s worth noting that medical professionals have advised against taking part in the challenge due to the risk of “life-threatening injuries,” and TikTok has even begun removing Milk Crate videos from its platform. “This f***ing guy got a traumatic brain injury from David Dobrik, and then he’s doing a f***ing crate challenge for a David Dobrik video,” Klein exclaimed. “Dude, what the f**k? I think Jeff likes doing risky s**t, he’s like an adrenaline junkie or something. Why is David allowing him to do this?” Klein went on to state that he was leery of even mentioning Wittek on the stream, claiming that he’s threatened him in direct messages in the past after being discussed on his H3 podcast. “Every time I mention Jeff, he like, threatens me in the DMs,” he added. “I have nothing to hide. I think that he’s just unwell and stuff. I don’t wanna go in on him, but sometimes I hesitate. I talk about everyone, right? But every time I mention him, the motherf****er just straight up threatens me.” (Viewers can watch the clip by clicking the right arrow in the Instagram post below.) View this post on Instagram This news isn’t a huge surprise to fans of Klein and Wittek; the two have gotten into drama before, after Klein called Wittek a “coward” for appearing to threaten Trisha Paytas during the fallout of the ‘Frenemies’ podcast in July. For now, it’s unclear whether or not Wittek will react to his latest name-drop in the H3 Podcast, or if he will let old beefs lie.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein reveals Twitch gave “special treatment” to bigger streamers – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein reveals Twitch gave “special treatment” to bigger streamers H3h3productionsPodcast host and YouTuber Ethan Klein from h3h3Productions revealed that his experiences with livestreaming platform Twitch has led him to believe they give special treatment to bigger streamers and partners, after he was let off with a punishment. Twitch has recently come under fire for its handling of the incident involving Alinity throwing her cat on stream, resulting in massive backlash from the community with many claiming she has been receiving favorable treatment. During his “H3 Podcast”, Ethan Klein explained his opinion on Twitch’s recent decisions and even revealed that he also received some preferential treatment from Twitch staff, during his time as a partner on the platform. The YouTube star highlighted one of his streams in particular, where he collaborated with fellow content creator Joey Salads for a Hurricane Relief campaign, which resulted in Joey getting suspended for showing himself getting pepper sprayed to raise money for the campaign. However, Ethan, who was also streaming the event, was shocked that he did not get banned too, later asking his contact at Twitch why he did not receive a suspension. “So Twitch suspended Joey’s twitch account but they didnt do anything to us. I later spoke on the phone to my contact there.” He explained, before quoting the Twitch employee’s response “We give special treatment to our big partners, we take care of you.” Ethan then claimed that he was responsible for the incident which saw Joey getting suspended, “We showed the same thing, in fact we put him out there and told him to do it, effectively it was us not him but they banned him and didn’t punish us.” Topic starts at 53:37 for mobile users. Klein expressed that he also gets more support from YouTube now, compared to when he was one of the smaller creators on the platform: “I get a way higher level of service from YouTube than when I was a small channel.” Although the clip was seen as concerning to some viewers, Ethan claimed that knowing Twitch staff personally is more likely to result in them being more lenient. “The truth is when you know someone you treat them kinder then if you didn’t, you have more empathy because you know them personally.” As of now, it seems as if Twitch are sticking by decision to not ban Alinity from their platform despite the backlash from the community. Many users of the popular livestreaming platform are calling for a more strict enforcement of the community guidelines set out by Twitch. However, with so much of Twitch content heavily context dependent, it can be difficult to be universally fair when moderating such a large platform.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein calls out PewDiePie for using his clip in Better Help video – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein calls out PewDiePie for using his clip in Better Help video YouTube duo Ethan and Hila ‘H3H3’ Klein discussed the controversy around online counseling service Better Help, which is currently undergoing massive scrutiny for its terms of service. The two were featured in a video by current YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, who used their footage in a compilation of other YouTubers who had promoted the service on videos about mental health. Read More: PewDiePie calls out YouTubers for making mental health based videos to promote BetterHelp – Ethan felt that the use of his footage in the compilation wrongly suggested that he had advertised the service in his September ‘Update’ video, which did not occur. “The way it’s cut makes it look like my ‘Update’ video is sponsored by Better Help,” he stated on the H3 Podcast. “…that gives totally the wrong impression. I’ve never talked about Better Help and depression ever.” Ethan contacted PewDiePie out of concern about this potential misunderstanding, and felt as though Kjellberg were ‘calling him out.’ PewDiePie has since followed up with a comment clarifying the cut underneath his video on the subject. The clip in question was taken from YouTuber Bobby Burns’ video titled, ‘The Reason YouTubers Have Breakdowns,’ which uses a segment of Hila and Ethan’s ‘Update’ video and features a sponsorship from Better Help. While Ethan is concerned over the site’s TOS, he disagreed with claims that YouTubers who partner with Better Help are taking advantage of their fans’ mental health, citing the service’s ownership by a publicly traded company and broad advertisement across the internet. “It’s a perfectly rational decision to think that it’s a good, useful service,” he stated. While H3H3 had read for the company once before in a previous segment, their ‘Update’ video does not contain any such endorsement.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein calls out YouTube’s ‘broken’ copyright system – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein calls out YouTube’s ‘broken’ copyright system YouTube duo Ethan and Hila ‘H3H3’ Klein discussed YouTube’s recent slew of site-wide issues during their H3 Podcast – one of which was the service’s copyright system. Ethan referenced a video of theirs that had been striked for copyright infringement, which had been disputed due to alleged unauthorized use of the song Sex on Fire by band Kings of Leon. Read More: Mr Beast’s citywide ad campaign is actually helping PewDiePie keep his top spot on YouTube – However, Ethan claimed that the song hadn’t been used in the video at all, and noted the disparity of options he was given in order to dispute the strike. “There’s not even an option for, ‘whatever you claimed isn’t even in my video,’” he stated. He then alleged that there are ‘huge media companies’ that go on large copyright strike sprees due to YouTube’s lack of accountability for false claims. “It’s so broad,” Ethan explained. “It says, ‘in good faith.’” He then explained that the claimant had denied his dispute, after which Ethan made yet another effort to assuage the situation. He claimed that, after this step, the claimant has the legal option to strike and remove his video from the platform. “The frequency of claiming videos and erroneous and shameless claims has skyrocketed,” he said. “I think they have tools… you cannot go watch videos – they have some kind of automated tools that match it. They don’t even put in the effort to review it.” YouTube’s issues have been called out by a slew of creators as of late, including massively popular YouTubers Markiplier and KEEMSTAR, who feel that Google Plus’s removal from the site may be to blame for its global blackout on October 16.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein and James Charles trade blows over ‘copycat’ merch – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein and James Charles trade blows over ‘copycat’ merch Instagram: h3h3productions / TikTok: jamescharlesH3H3’s Ethan Klein has been going back and forth with James Charles after the makeup YouTuber promoted new merchandise that appeared suspiciously similar to his wife’s. James Charles is best known for his makeup-based YouTube channel which boasts more than 21 million followers. However, the popular personality has branched out into designing his own products and merchandise for fans as well. While many of his older creations helped fund his expensive Californian mansion, his latest drop has come under fire. Klein called out Charles on September 17 for his new line of merchandise that appeared oddly familiar. Teddy Fresh CEO Hila Klein has her own ‘colorblocking’ clothing line and her husband claims the new designs from Charles are the “exact same.” While Charles has since publicly shot down these ‘plagiarist’ allegations, the two have continued to trade blows online. “I know we didn’t invent colorblocking,” Klein addressed, “but I’m having a hard time with the new James Charles merch.” Both new designs feature vibrant colors splashed across the jumper, which change at each connecting point. The sleeves are a different color to the torso, while the hood is a different color to both, for instance. All the colors are pastel. “Many people will assume he designed it and start accusing us of plagiarism,” he stressed. “It’s possible it’s all a totally cosmic coincidence but he used pretty much the identical colors here too.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1306794740617064448 It didn’t take long before Charles issued a response to his fans. Supposedly, the two had a private conversation about the merchandise a day prior. “I sent you the original photo that inspired my collection, explained I’ve never seen your brand, but also asked what you wanted me to do,” Charles replied. “If you’d like to continue our conversation and find a solution, my DMs are still open.” It appears the time for a mutual solution might be long gone, however. “You told me you were going to sell them anyway,” Klein soon followed up. “You also admitted that the similarity wasn’t a coincidence. I dm’d you because I wanted to keep this private but I found your response combative and dismissive.” @h3h3productions If you’d like to continue our conversation and find a solution, my DMs are still open! ❤️ — James Charles (@jamescharles) September 18, 2020 That was the final public comment on the matter at the time of writing. Who knows what has been said behind the scenes since then, however. Perhaps the two have come to some kind of agreement despite the initial hostility. We’ll be sure to keep you updated as the situation develops between the two internet celebrities.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein calls out Jake Paul & RiceGum’s responses to gambling scandal – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein calls out Jake Paul & RiceGum’s responses to gambling scandal RiceGum, H3H3 – YouTube / ClevverTVPopular YouTuber Ethan Klein of comedy duo ‘H3H3’ slammed Jake Paul and Bryan ‘RiceGum’ Le for their response to the backlash surrounding their promotion of an alleged gambling and scam website. Klein called out Jake Paul for the scam in a previous video on January 2, where he argued that Paul was promoting “what is quite literally gambling” to his relatively young audience. Paul responded to Klein’s video with a short Tweet, writing, “Lol love this vid,” – which Klein criticized with heavy sarcasm in a following video on January 4. “I gotta tell you, this response… I sat on it for about an hour,” Klein said of the Tweet. “I was like, ‘did you know this was a video about you?’ You love this video, Jake? I was really trying to make sense of it.” Klein went on to take issue with RiceGum’s video responding to the debacle, where he listed a series of other popular YouTubers who had partnered with the service – including the likes of vlogger David Dobrik. You loved being called out for selling a gambling scam to underage kids? K https://t.co/mWsJGnnZ4j — Ethan Klein (@h3h3productions) January 2, 2019 “…you have a big channel with an impressionable audience so you have more of an obligation,” Klein warned. “So when you do something stupid, it’s obviously gonna attract more attention. But I love how you’re snitching.” The site behind the debacle has likewise come forward with a statement on the issue, urging any dissatisfied customers to reach out to their customer service branch in a Tweet on January 4.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein “100% serious” about adopting YouTuber Brooke Houts’ dog – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein “100% serious” about adopting YouTuber Brooke Houts’ dog YouTube: h3 podcast, brooke houtsAfter tweeting that he would adopt Brooke Houts’ Dog on August 7, YouTube star Ethan ‘h3h3‘ Klein reiterated that he is “100% serious” during his August 9 episode of his ‘h3’ podcast. On August 7, YouTube personality Brooke Houts angered many when she accidentally uploaded an unedited version of her video to the platform which appeared to show her hitting and spitting on her dog. Ethan Klein offered to adopt her Doberman puppy on Twitter after the incident, and later revealed on the August 9 episode of his podcast that Houts actually reached out to him, and that he was serious about adopting her pet. Ethan Klein wants to adopt Brooke Houts’ dog H3h3 posted on Twitter on August 7 that he would be willing to adopt the YouTuber’s dog, since they both live in Los Angeles. He even told her he would pay at any price that she asked for. “Im in la and will literally buy your dog from you name any price, he really does need a new home,” he tweeted. Im in la and will literally buy your dog from you name any price, he really does need a new home. — Ethan Klein (@h3h3productions) August 7, 2019 The YouTube comedian then revealed on his podcast on August 9 that she had actually replied to him in DMs although the interaction was brief. “Hello would you be willing to talk for a moment?” she allegedly said, to which h3h3 replied: “I’m 100% serious about my offer. If you give me your # we can speak over the phone.” Read More: Shroud hacked on Twitter – Unfortunately the conversation then went cold. The podcast host theorized that the YouTuber wasn’t interested in selling him her puppy after all. “I had a feeling she wasn’t going to actually offer for me to adopt her anyways. She was probably just trying to prevent this episode of the podcast from happening,” he said. He wants to ‘keep the door open’ for adoption H3h3 said that he didn’t want to go in on her over the abuse claims because he wanted to keep the door open for adoption. “I didn’t want to eviscerate her, because I want to leave the door open for actually adopting the dog.” He then outlined why the Doberman would have a good home with them: “If there is that door open, I’m 100% willing. I have a big house, a big yard. I have the means.” (Timestamp of 1:05:00 for mobile viewers.) Dexerto will keep you updated regarding any further developments of h3h3’s offer.

H3H3 urges fans to support PewDiePie after receiving death threats from T-Series sub – Dexerto
H3H3 urges fans to support PewDiePie after receiving death threats from T-Series sub H3H3, PewDiePie – YouTube / T-SeriesEthan Klein of popular comedy duo H3H3 has officially weighed in on the battle between YouTube king PewDiePie and Bollywood label T-Series, thanks to a disturbing email from a T-Series subscriber. Klein posted a video to YouTube on March 14, where he detailed a venomous email he’d received from a T-Series subscriber – which even contained death threats towards him, his wife, and their unborn child. “I’ll make a missile, send it to your house, and blow it up,” the message read. “May you and your wife die. It’d be better if you give me your address, I will bring a gun with me and shoot you and your wife.” The writer went on to claim that they would be glad to go to jail for killing the family, referring to Hila Klein and her baby as a “pregnant dog and the puppy inside of it.” Despite the message’s disturbing contents, Klein appeared to make light of the situation, and urged his fans to subscribe to PewDiePie out of “revenge” for the email. “I ask you only this one thing,” Klein said, humorously alluding to his own death in reference to the message. “Please, for God’s sake, subscribe to PewDiePie.” PewDiePie even responded to Klein’s Tweet on the subject, jokingly writing “For honor,” in a reply beneath the video. While Klein had previously called out PewDiePie for using his clip in relation to the BetterHelp scandal of 2018, the two appear to be on good terms once more, as PewDiePie’s war against T-Series continues to escalate day by day.

H3H3 suing Korean media company for copyright claiming his own video – Dexerto
H3H3 suing Korean media company for copyright claiming his own video YouTube: H3 PodcastYouTuber Ethan Klein is taking legal action against a Korean media company after the business copyright claimed a video of him reacting to a clip from his podcast being featured on a Korean variety show. H3H3 is, once again, becoming embroiled in legal battles centering around copyright issues after a clip from the H3H3 Podcast was featured on a Korean variety show. Klein brought up the clip during a podcast episode on December 13, showing an overall positive reaction to being featured on the show and joking that the H3 Podcast should go abroad. However, the positivity ended there, as Klein claimed that the video had been copyright claimed by a Korean media company named MBC for using their material in his podcast episode. (Segment begins at 20:05) Klein slams Korean media company for copyright striking his own video To Klein, the issue stems from the fact that the show’s hosts were reacting to his content — and he’s taking the issue to court. Read More: Odell Beckham Jr parodies viral TikTok self-defense guru during NFL touchdown celebration – “So, the Korean media company MBC, who used a clip of an old video of ours without permission, BLOCKED our newest episode worldwide,” he explained in a Tweet. “Why? Because we watched them watching OUR f**king clip. F**K THIS. I’m suing these mother f**kers.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1470689926962298882 Luckily, Klein was able to get his video back online — but not before cutting out part of the clip that was claimed. “I’m still suing these pieces for s**t, I’m on a goddamn warpath still,” he added in a follow up post. “I’m gonna look into a framework for holding these media companies accountable.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1470844565858914306 Klein’s posts come in the wake of another major YouTube copyright situation involving YouTuber Totally Not Mark, an anime essayist and reviewer who recently saw 150 of his videos taken down in a single day by anime company Toei Animation. After a week of pleading with Toei, Mark eventually halted his efforts and has instead opted to unlist his previous videos discussing the takedowns… leaving YouTube viewers and content creators alike frustrated and hoping for major change on YouTube’s part regarding copyright claims.

H3H3 claims Triller founder Ryan Kavanaugh needs to “get a life” amid new lawsuit – Dexerto
H3H3 claims Triller founder Ryan Kavanaugh needs to “get a life” amid new lawsuit Triller Fight Club / YouTube: The H3 PodcastH3H3’s Eila and Ethan Klein has called out Triller founder Ryan Kavanaugh for being a “pathetic f**k” by adding a new filing on top of their $100 million lawsuit for showing a Jake Paul fight clip on their podcast, saying he needs to “get a life”. Triller and H3H3 have been embroiled in a legal battle since May after the former sued the Klein couple for showing a clip of the Jake Paul vs Ben Askren fight on their podcast. The copyright lawsuit, which valued damages at $100 million, was laughed off by H3H3, who is the only YouTuber named in the action now. He claimed he showed a 45-second clip with fair use five days after the live event, which doesn’t count for “catastrophic loss”. “They put so little effort into the complaint, it just seems like a shakedown, a headline trying to scare people to do the $49.99 thing,” he said. However, Triller is not backing down, adding a second complaint on top of the first one claiming H3H3 tried to defame Triller through a social media campaign. The latest filing, which dropped on July 23, has only riled up the Klein’s more. “Can he get a life,” Eila said on a July 30 podcast. “I wish he would just run his business instead of trying to sue us. He must be desperate for cash,” Ethan added. The H3H3 couple proceeded to bring up Ryan Kavanaugh’s previous bankruptcies, as well as the allegations that he used to run a Ponzi scheme, first revealed by his ex-partner. The related segment begins at 10:44. “He’s trying to intimidate us to shut up or pay up. I don’t know who he thinks he’s fucking with. I wouldn’t ever do that. In fact, the opposite is true — I’m just going to turn everything into content,” Ethan said. Klein tore through the lawsuit, saying they used meme shared on the H3H3Productions’ subreddit, and not actually shared by the couple. The lawsuit also lists screenshots from before the April fight, dating back to as early as January. “What’s the date on this? January 29. When was the fucking fight? Somebody tell me the date. April 17. I’m not a mathematician, but I’m pretty sure this f**king screenshot…January 29, is before April. “Nice f**king try douche. Maybe you should try the people you bankrupted instead of going after us. Maybe they should try and improve Triller.” Triller and H3H3 reportedly tried to go through “good faith negotiations” before it went to court, but Kavanaugh got greedy and wanted to drag it out for publicity. “This pathetic f**k wanted to come on our show. Matt Hoss wanted to do the same thing. Ryan Kavanaugh wanted to come on the show and talk to me. I went ‘f**k no, I’m not talking to you.’ He wants to promote Triller,” Ethan added. “I would ask him about the Ponzi scheme. There’s some really interesting court filings we found about the bankruptcy. He stiffed a nanny.” The lawsuit between Triller and H3H3 is ongoing, with no set court date.

H3H3 slams YouTube demonetizing his video for alleged “racism” – Dexerto
H3H3 slams YouTube demonetizing his video for alleged “racism” YouTube: H3H3ProductionsEthan ‘H3H3’ Klein has slammed YouTube after a human review of one of his most recent videos was demonetized for being “racist,” requesting that whoever made that decision be fired, clearly disagreeing with the verdict. Ethan has had his fair share of controversy over the years as a long-standing YouTube stalwart, finding himself on either side of drama as it unfolds, but this time he is clearly upset by YouTube deeming his video to be “racist.” While many creators complain about their videos being automatically demonetized for whatever reason by YouTube’s auto-review system, it’s not often content creators speak out against the human reviews they receive, so there’s clearly a serious issue. Posting a tweet to Team YouTube in the early hours of May 5, H3 asked “can we agree to fire whoever marked our newest video as being racist?” The video in question was titled “Everybody Loves Ethan” and was a response to a “slanderous” video from fellow YouTuber SomeOrdinaryGamers. Elaborating on the issue, Klein said that “They said it is racist and stopped showing it to people,” adding that the reviewer “didn’t even provide a timestamp” for the allegation, giving him no idea of what was wrong in the video. YouTube responded quickly and asked for a URL to be provided, obviously looking to see how the issue arose and what could be done about the review, and Ethan seemed grateful enough for their help. https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1257527174929629184?s=20 His initial dismay at the problem, though, was evident, and the fact that ads were limited on the upload means he won’t be able to monetize it to the degree he would have hoped – or at all, depending on the final verdict. Whether or not the decision is reverted remains to be seen, but neither YouTube or H3H3 have spoken on the issue since or provided more details, so we will have to wait and see.

H3H3 snaps back at Trisha Paytas after receiving revealing pics – Dexerto
H3H3 snaps back at Trisha Paytas after receiving revealing pics Trisha Paytas, H3H3 – YouTubeYouTube star Trisha Paytas sparked outrage after coming out as a transgender man on October 7 – but she isn’t done turning heads, later releasing a series of sensitive photos directed at another YouTuber. Paytas shocked the net on October 12, posting a slew of highly sensitive pictures to Twitter in wake of the controversy surrounding her transgender announcement. That’s not all: the YouTuber also tagged H3H3’s Ethan Klein in her post, seemingly in response to something he had said during an episode of his “H3 Podcast.” Paytas’ antics didn’t go unnoticed by Klein, who posted a response to her photos in a Tweet shortly thereafter. Rather than going into an all-out spiel, Klein merely gave a one-word reply to the shocking pictures: “Gross.” “Keep my **** out of your mouth,” Paytas shot back – to which Klein replied with a mere, “Okay.” “Can’t stop talking bout my *** ,” she continued. “You had the topic of my gen***ls in your mouth for 30 minutes on your podcast … Just educating you on what you’re talking ignorantly about over and over.” Paytas later uploaded a video discussing Klein’s comments in full, where she described him as “worse than Donald Trump.” While Klein has yet to give Paytas a more verbose reply to her accusations, this wouldn’t be the first time the two YouTubers have had beef, by far: in fact, Klein had called out Paytas for photoshopping her pictures in early May, leading to an all out war between the two. “I mean, she is unrecognizable,” Klein said of her photo edits during a May 8 video. “This is Coachella versus throwing down in the McDonald’s parking lot at 3 AM. This is Coachella versus World Star Hip Hop.” Needless to say, Paytas wasn’t impressed with his comments, calling his statement “predatory” and “harmful to young girls.” Considering Paytas’ latest Twitter posts, it doesn’t look like things have gotten friendly between the YouTubers in the past five months – and with her comments on gender identity spurring backlash across social media, her sensitive photos are adding further fuel to the flames.

H3H3 reveals how swatter “attempted to murder” them and newborn baby – Dexerto
H3H3 reveals how swatter “attempted to murder” them and newborn baby During the October 23 episode of the ‘h3 podcast’, YouTube comedic duo Ethan and Hila Klein revealed a horrific story of how they were swatted when they were returning home with their newborn son. H3h3 is one of the most popular reaction channels on YouTube, as the comedic duo created hilarious skits that gave thoughtful commentary. With viral videos like their iconic ‘vape nation’ video, they eventually amassed a following of over 6.5 million on the video hosting platform. However, the duo eventually transitioned over to podcasting, and on their latest episode, Ethan and Hila opened up to their audience about how they had been swatted on numerous occasions, and it got so bad that they were forced to get the FBI involved. The YouTubers were initially hesitant to talk about their situation, as they didn’t want to give attention to their harasser, but decided to open up about what they had been going through in the last year. “I didn’t want to talk about it because I didn’t want to give them any satisfaction, attention or encouragement,” the podcast hosts said when speaking about how their old address became public. After debating over whether to just leave it there, Ethan then decided to address it. “We kept getting swatted. The first time it happened it was terrible enough, because the police showed up, their guns drawn, there was multiple helicopters.” Hila then jumped in and exclaimed, “It was traumatizing, it was absolutely awful!” As if that wasn’t terrifying enough, the YouTube duo then revealed that their harasser had swatted them on another occasion, and timed it with when they were arriving home with their recently born son. “These people timed it up with when we were arriving home with Theodore to put him in harm’s way,” Ethan revealed upsettingly. “There is an FBI case open, we have taken it all the way up the chain.” He then made it clear that swatting is not a prank and said, “You will go to f*cking jail!” before he stated that the pair consider what their harassers did to them to be “attempted murder” as it puts them in harm’s way. “I do seriously consider it to be attempted murder,” the podcast host reiterated. “They tried to kill our baby. They tried to traumatize our baby!” (Timestamp of 01:36 for mobile viewers.) Swatting is a very serious issue, as wrongdoers not only waste police resources, but put the target of their call into potential danger as police arrive assuming that they are facing a serious threat to the public. One swatting incident even tragically led to a death in June of 2017 when a man called up police after having a dispute with a gamer online. The incident ended in tragedy, and landed the perpetrator in jail, where he was sentenced to twenty years in prison.

H3H3 roasts Logan Paul’s definition of sociopaths in response video to Shane Dawson – Dexerto
H3H3 roasts Logan Paul’s definition of sociopaths in response video to Shane Dawson During their H3 Podcast, YouTube duo Ethan and Hila ‘H3H3’ Klein mocked Logan Paul’s definition of sociopathy in his response video to Shane Dawson’s docuseries. While Logan’s video sought to clear the air about what a sociopath really was, he went on to say that a sociopath is, “someone who is just more savage than everyone else” – which garnered him ample criticism from H3H3. “That’s it,” Ethan responded. “That’s pretty much the clinical definition of sociopaths: Somebody who is more savage than everybody else.” He then went on to say that he had trouble with Paul’s description, as it made sociopathy seem ‘cool’ in regards to his fanbase. “It’s almost making it cool for his fans,” Hila commented. The two went on to comment on Dawson’s treatment of the word in his docuseries over Jake Paul, citing his synonymous use of the terms ‘psychopath’ and ‘sociopath.’ Ethan likewise took issue with Dawson’s bringing therapist Kati Morton into the Paul home as an undercover agent, as teased at the end of the series’ fourth episode. “That seems kind of unethical,” he said. “The whole thing is making me uncomfortable, honestly.” The duo didn’t understand the need for Dawson’s dramatic and ‘horror film-esque’ angle for the series, either, and felt that a ‘genuine look’ into Jake’s life would have been enough to satiate audiences. Ethan commented on Jake Paul in a previous episode of the podcast, as well, where he related a conversation he had with the YouTuber that revealed his toxic relationship with brother Logan Paul. While Dawson’s series has been at the center of ample controversy, its next episode promises to be juicier than ever before.

H3H3 slams Steven Crowder as a “coward” for leaving podcast early – Dexerto
H3H3 slams Steven Crowder as a “coward” for leaving podcast early YouTube: H3H3 PodcastH3H3’s Ethan Klein called out Steven Crowder for being a “coward” after the political talk show host left his podcast early during a debate. After the drama and disbandment of the Frenemies show hosted by Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas, a lot of H3H3 fans wondered which guest would be on the podcast next. To the surprise of many, Klein organized to have a debate with Steven Crowder, host of the Louder With Crowder political show. However, shortly after beginning the podcast, Klein invited Sam Seder to the debate, host of The Majority Report. This didn’t go down very well with Crowder, who decided to leave the H3H3 podcast early, spurring Klein to label him as a “coward” for ducking the debate. Ethan Klein calls out Steven Crowder for being a “coward” The June 22 episode of the H3 Podcast was all about the debate between Klein and Crowder. However, Klein had no intention of debating Crowder himself and had already organized to have Sam Seder join the debate shortly after the podcast had begun. As soon as Seder joined the debate, it was clear that Crowder was unhappy that he wasn’t given a warning ahead of time. It didn’t take long for the podcast to descend into chaos, with everybody talking over each other and trading insults. Eventually, Crowder announced that he was going to leave, which led to Klein calling him out as a coward live on the show. His departure even led to him and Seder trending on Twitter, with countless users making jokes at Crowder’s expense. “Let’s debate Steven, don’t be a coward, coward, debate the issues, what’s the matter who you debate coward? Coward,” he said. Topic starts at 17:40 According to Klein, Crowder had been avoiding a debate with Seder for a long time and had supposedly pulled out of an organized discussion in the past. As a result, he attempted to get the pair together on his podcast so they could debate the issues live. However, it didn’t exactly go to plan, and based on Crowder’s early exit from the podcast, it’s likely he’ll be avoiding any discussion with Klein for a long time to come.

H3H3 reveal the gender, name and due date of their baby – Dexerto
H3H3 reveal the gender, name and due date of their baby H3H3, YouTubeYouTube comedy duo H3H3 have officially announced the gender of their unborn baby – as well as its name and a possible due date. Ethan and Hila Klein spilled the beans about their baby in a video on January 30, where the couple reacted to a series of hilarious and over-the-top gender reveals. Ethan later amped up the suspense by cutting open a cardboard box that would release a series of color-coded balloons. However, rather than being full of Elsa or Spider-Man balloons, they were all clear, due to Ethan jokingly stating that they would let their child decide their own gender for themselves. Following this segment, the two announced that they are expecting a baby boy, the name of which Hila revealed to be Theodore (or “Teddy” for short). Theodore is set to join his family on June 6, 2019. Ethan admitted that they had chosen the name in advance, before the launch of Hila’s fashion line, Teddy Fresh. https://twitter.com/HilaKleinH3/status/923242754309685248“…it works really well in Hebrew and in English,” Ethan explained, referencing Hila’s Israeli heritage. “Hila vetoed a lot of names, because they didn’t work in Hebrew.” “I like names that work well in Hebrew, too, that my family can say easily,” Hila continued. The couple’s gender reveal follows a brief spat between Ethan and popular YouTuber Bryan ‘RiceGum’ Le, who took shots at Hila after being criticized for his involvement with an alleged gambling and scam website in early January.

H3H3 reveal why they ended ‘Families’ podcast after Frenemies drama – Dexerto
H3H3 reveal why they ended ‘Families’ podcast after Frenemies drama YouTube: H3 PodcastComedy duo H3H3 have taken their ‘Families’ podcast off the air in the wake of Ethan Klein’s drama with Trisha Paytas, claiming they wanted to end things on a high note. The fallout between YouTubers Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas took over the internet for a solid month. The influencers, who had once been bitter rivals, finally settled their differences and paired up for a new podcast together, which was appropriately dubbed ‘Frenemies.’ Their new venture was an instant hit, and quickly turned the tide of internet opinion regarding Trisha Paytas, who has historically boasted a divisive presence online. However, this golden age was not to last, as Paytas and Klein got into a heated argument over business dealings on the air. This ultimately resulted in the end of their tenuous friendship. A knock-down, drag-out argument ensued over social media, with both sides flinging proverbial poo at each other that had tea pages posting at all hours of the day. To replace the Frenemies podcast, Klein invited his mother on as a co-host, changing the name to ‘Families.’ This new arrangement would only last for a short time before Klein ended the podcast in a return to the historical ‘H3 After Dark’ podcast. Ethan and his wife Hila explained why they switched up their format during a recent After Dark episode, claiming that they wanted to protect their parents from the dark side of the internet before they got themselves steeped in too much drama. “We ended families to protect my parents from the internet,” Klein claimed. “Coming off my mom’s beef with Trisha, and like, how they’re getting into stuff with people on Twitter. They don’t need this in their retirement, in their old age.” “They don’t know what they’re getting themselves into,” he continued. “I saw it tipping a little bit over the course of ten, where there’s people saying mean things, and then you have Trisha stans saying mean things, and it gets kind of icky. ….They don’t need to be on the internet with people saying these horrible things.” “I wanted to end on a high note, where everything was pure and beautiful, and not wait on the ‘exposed’ videos.” (Topic begins at 29:58) For now, it looks like Ethan’s parents won’t be making any more appearances on the podcast anytime soon, leaving the H3 Podcast as it was before the ‘Frenemies’ podcast had even begun.

H3H3 Productions podcast hosts react to pregnancy news live on set – Dexerto
H3H3 Productions podcast hosts react to pregnancy news live on set Instagram: Hila KleinHila Klein discovered that she and husband Ethan are now expecting parents-to-be while recording the H3 After Dark podcast. Towards the beginning of the podcast, which was broadcast on May 28, Ethan cryptically revealed there was a bit of “tension” going on between between the two, saying “there was something going on that we’re not sure that we should talk about, but I don’t want to make Hila uncomfortable.” “We’ve always been so open about our journey, like the ups and downs,” Ethan continued, “but [Hila] has been peeing on a stick and getting faint second lines.” He added the pair were “95%” sure about the pregnancy, with Hila adding: “Let’s just say I didn’t get my period.” Explaining she had gone to the fertility doctor for blood tests earlier in the day, Hila said that they were expecting a call about the results during the show while it was being filmed live on May 28, adding “It’s such an emotional rollercoaster because I’m also on hormones, so I don’t want to get too depressed if it doesn’t happen.” Two hours later, in the closing moments of the podcast, Hila’s doctor confirmed via text message that the results were in and that Hila was, in her words, “super pregnant.” The two hugged, with Ethan yelling: “I knew it” as the studio erupted with applause. Ethan then posted the announcement via Twitter, where they received congratulations from YouTuber Colleen Ballinger – who is also pregnant following a miscarriage – and future sister in law and podcast co-host Trisha Paytas, who said in a Tweet that she was crying “so many happy tears.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1398411665759162370 Fans also seemed thrilled by the announcement, with one Twitter user calling it “so damn wholesome” while another joked that with all the pregnancy announcements recently, “there must be something in the YouTube water.” Ethan and Hila spoke about their struggles to have a second child earlier this year, as they revealed in February they had decided to undergo fertility treatment after being unable to get pregnant naturally. This will be the Kleins’ second child after they welcomed their first son Theodore in June 2019.

H3H3 responds after claims he tried to “delete” Leafy’s YouTube channel H3H3, Leafyishere – YouTubeYouTube star and H3H3 comedy duo member Ethan Klein has responded to allegations from longtime YouTuber Leafy of making attempts to delete his channel on the site. Following Klein’s viral feud with fellow YouTuber KEEMSTAR, the H3H3 member is now facing allegations from Leafy, who accused him of making attempts to suppress and even delete his channel from the platform. In a series of tweets on June 4, Leafy alleged that his channel had been copystriked twice, with one of the strikes coming from Klein due to purported “harassment” against a video he’d made that was critical of the H3H3 duo. https://twitter.com/Leafy/status/1268727112862584835 “I believe H3H3 is trying to get my channel deleted,” Leafy wrote. “Had to private all my videos, just got two channel strikes today for ‘harassment’ on my new videos. Another strike and my channel gets deleted.” Klein was quick to dispute Leafy’s claims, retweeting his original post with the caption, “And nothing of value was lost.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1268739744990560258 He went on to elaborate his point, explaining that he’d never reported Leafy’s videos as the YouTuber so claimed. “I had nothing to do with it,” he refuted. “I never reported his videos and its very bizarre that he thinks I wield some godlike power to remove his videos. But no. Not me, sorry.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1268739908731977729 Klein then exposed alleged messages from a friend of Leafy, who asked the YouTuber for help in saving Leafy’s channel, stating it was “one strike away from termination.” “Meanwhile, his friends are begging me to help poor Leafy,” Klein wrote of the exchange. “Bash me publicly and beg me privately.” Meanwhile his friends are begging me to help, poor leafy 🙁 Bash me publicly and beg me privately. pic.twitter.com/G8itrEwNns — Ethan Klein (@h3h3productions) June 5, 2020 Leafy seemed to react to Klein’s statements with a photo of the star and his wife posing with YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, captioned, “Here’s the deal, I want Leafy dead, clean shot.” https://twitter.com/Leafy/status/1268749198616215553 Thus far, nothing else has come from their spat — just the latest in a series of dramatic developments involving both content creators, with Klein having come under fire for appearing to target KEEMSTAR’s sponsor over their feud in May. For now, all fans can do is watch and wait as the fate of Leafy’s channel is determined.

H3H3 hits back at $100m Triller lawsuit over showing Jake Paul fight clip – Dexerto
H3H3 hits back at $100m Triller lawsuit over showing Jake Paul fight clip YouTube: H3H3/Triller Fight ClubH3H3’s Ethan Klein has hit back at Triller refilling their lawsuit against him after he showed a clip from the Jake Paul vs Ben Askren fight. The Jake Paul and Ben Askren fight was a wild success, with the YouTuber stating that it made around $65 million dollars, and he himself was in for a nice payday for just a few minutes of work. In the aftermath of the fight, the streaming service kickstarted a $100m lawsuit against a raft of YouTube channels who streamed the fight illegally and had reuploaded the event in its entirety. While that lawsuit has since been dropped, and they’ve asked viewers who watched illegally to pay up, Triller has refiled against one channel – H3H3 – after they showed a short clip on their podcast afterward. It’s safe to say that H3H3’s Ethan Klein isn’t best pleased. The topic of the lawsuit came up during the start of the H3 After Dark podcast on May 13, where Ethan and his wife Hila were being coy in what they were saying until Ethan unloaded and slammed Triller for a “shakedown” and intimidation tactics through using his name. “Here’s what’s interesting, the judge threw out the lawsuit and they only refiled against one person, guess who that is? H3H3,” Klein started. “I’m the only person they refiled against. Pretty interesting, right. “Their 100 million dollars of alleged losses, this incredible f**king conspiracy to defraud them of $100m all comes down to the H3 podcast watching a 45-second clip and fair usage, five days after the live event. And they have suffered catastrophic loss as a result.” Timestamp of 30:00 Klein noted that the attorney on the Triller side of things allegedly just “copy and pasted” the previously thrown out lawsuit in the new filing against him, leaving in lines about people selling links to the event. “They put so little effort into the complaint, it just seems like a shakedown, a headline trying to scare people to do the $49.99 thing,” Ethan added. He further revealed that the two parties are in settlement talks to see if they can get things straightened out but options are being explored as it becomes an argument over fair use. If anything changes, we’ll have updates.

H3H3 explains why ‘cancel Joji’ Twitter trend is a “compliment” – Dexerto
H3H3 explains why ‘cancel Joji’ Twitter trend is a “compliment” YouTube: H3 Podcast / Instagram: @sushitrashDuring the May 16 episode of the H3 podcast, host Ethan Klein reacted to the ‘cancel Joji’ trend on Twitter. The YouTuber found the situation hilarious, and explained why its actually a compliment to the singer. On May 11 a ‘cancel Joji’ hashtag erupted on Twitter after users discovered that the popular singer used to be YouTuber Filthy Frank. Kpop fans became upset by the creator’s old content which contained edgy humor. Ethan Klein of comedic duo H3H3 defended the artist, and mocked the ridiculousness of people only now getting offended by his past. The podcast host revealed why the criticism actually proves the singer’s talents. H3H3 defends Joji Wrapping up their podcast, host Ethan Klein addressed the Joji controversy by sarcastically declaring him to be cancelled. “I’m sad to say Joji, the artist formerly known as Filthy Frank is OVER. People have just realized that Joji is Filthy Frank,” he joked. The comedian continued by mocking those that tried to cancel him. “And Kpop stans, of course, were directly on that to cancel him,” he said as co-host Hila broke into laughter. Klein then explained how it was actually a compliment that people didn’t know about his past. “I think it’s a high compliment to Joji that there are a lot of people that never knew what Filthy Frank is, or that he is Filthy Frank. That means there is a lot of people out there that are just enjoying his music. Which ultimately is what he wanted as a performer,” he said. The popular YouTuber then exclaimed that the cancel movement was a testament to his accomplishments. “Kpop stans that are trying to cancel him for being Filthy Frank, I think is actually a high compliment to what he has achieved as a musical artist.” (Timestamp 01:35:39 for mobile users. ) The host went on to admit that the whole thing was hilarious, and stated that cancel trends often backfire. “Ultimately you see a lot of these such is such is cancelled, where it actually picks up traction of people just clowning on the original poster.” The whole ‘cancel Joji’ movement kicked off on May 11 when a Twitter user posted lyrics from his past project ‘Pink Guy’ – a fictional person in the Filthy Frank universe. At the time of writing, the singer has yet to respond to the criticism – although the cancel trend quickly died off after a couple of days. The artist has been open in the past about the character, and explained it to be satire.

H3H3 explains why Dr Disrespect’s Twitch ban should be a “wake up call” – Dexerto
H3H3 explains why Dr Disrespect’s Twitch ban should be a “wake up call” Popular YouTuber Ethan ‘H3H3’ Klein believes that Dr Disrespect’s ban from Twitch should serve as a warning to other IRL streamers, who sometimes cross the line in the pursuit of engaging content for their viewers. IRL streams are now some of the most popular content on Twitch, with random interactions with strangers making for some crazy and wholesome moments, such as two streamers who accidentally bumped into each other while hitchhiking in Japan. However, the nature of such streams can also lead to unsavory moments – such as a streamer being subjected to harassment on the streets of London, just weeks after being racially abused in Germany. Recently, Twitch star Dr Disrespect was banned from the platform after livestreaming in a bathroom on multiple occasions at E3 2019, and H3H3 believes it should serve as a “wake up call” for other IRL streamers. Speaking on his podcast, he said: “I think these IRL streamers need a wake up call because it’s a breeding ground for toxic behavior.” [Timestamp: 3:39 for mobile users] The 31-year-old believes that while there is great IRL streamers, other content creators feel pressured by their audience to create interesting content and takes things too far as result, without the safety net of editing what they capture on film. “Toxic streamers are under all this pressure to do something interesting and they push it too far,” Klein said. “You’re live in an uncontrolled environment and you have to be careful. There’s a big difference between being live in a studio.” [Timestamp: 4:19 for mobile users] The length of Dr Disrespect’s ban is yet to be revealed, but the streamer sent out a response on Twitter, stating that a full-length video of the events will be released soon, and joked that his director ‘Alex’ was fired. For now, the Champions Club will be forced to wait until the Doc regains control of his channel.

H3H3’s Ethan Klein claims another top Twitch streamer is considering Mixer – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein claims another top Twitch streamer is considering Mixer YouTube: H3 Podcast / Mixer / UnsplashYouTube star Ethan ‘h3h3‘ Klein revealed during his August 2 podcast that he knows of a “top five” Twitch streamer who is considering making the switch to Mixer following Tyler ‘Ninja‘ Blevins’ surprise move. On August 1, Ninja announced that he was leaving Twitch after he made a deal with Microsoft to exclusively stream on Mixer. H3h3 decided to weigh in on the historic move on his ‘h3’ podcast, and also revealed that there could be another major streamer making the switch soon too. H3h3 defended Ninja’s decision to leave Twitch for Mixer During the show, the host defended Ninja against the backlash of those who criticized the streamer for being a “sellout” and “betraying Twitch”, and stated: “As if Ninja didn’t do way more for Twitch than they did for him!” His wife and co-host Hila Klein also added: “He has probably done the most for bringing them to mainstream. He’s been on magazine covers and on Ellen’s show!” The YouTube comedian compared the adverse reaction to people being loyal to an infamously controversial internet provider in the USA: “That’s like saying “bro, how could you leave for Comcast, after all they’ve done for you!” … What the fuck has Twitch ever done for anyone? They are a platform!” Could another Twitch streamer be moving to Mixer? The podcast host then talked about how he believes another major streamer could end up leaving soon, due to what he argues as “penny pinching” from Twitch, and failing to pay their streamers enough. “They are not going to last, they aren’t going to make it. Because they are short sighted, and don’t know how to keep their talent. Because they are so cheap. Which is shocking, because they are owned by the richest man that has ever walked this earth. They are so rich, he wipes his ass with $100 bills.” “I have spoken to one of the top five streamers on Twitch, and I’m not going to say his name because it was a private conversation. But he told me that they pinch his ass hard too. And he’s so over it, and doesn’t understand it. Now he’s thinking about going to Mixer too, if he can close a deal with them.” (Timestamp 4:15 for mobile viewers.) It’s unclear whether the YouTuber means the “top five streamers” in terms of actual subscriber statistics or whether it was a broader statement about popular users in general, but it could mean that someone like Michael ‘shroud‘ Grzesiek, Turner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney, or Dr Disrespect might potentially be who he’s talking about. As the classic saying goes: ‘Only time will tell.’

H3H3’s Ethan Klein hits back at Trisha Paytas amid Frenemies host drama – Dexerto
H3H3’s Ethan Klein hits back at Trisha Paytas amid Frenemies host drama Ethan Klein has finally reacted to Trisha Paytas’ June 30 apology on the H3 Podcast, and Trisha then responded in a series of now-deleted tweets. YouTube sensation Trisha Paytas released a 39-minute apology video on June 30, addressing various disputes between Ethan Klein, Hila Klein, and the entire crew of doomed joint venture Frenemies. Trisha announced their surprise departure from the podcast on June 9. Since then, the YouTuber has centred Ethan in almost every video they’ve posted. They’ve spoken openly about employees’ wages, Ethan’s “uncomfortable” behavior and leaked private messages exchanged between the two. Trisha appeared to take serious ownership over the ‘Pizzagate’ debacle. “The way I expressed myself was disrespectful,” they said. “And I really apologize.” They also accepted accountability for various other controversies during their time on Frenemies, including “insulting” remarks addressed to the crew, as well as labelling Hila a “c**t” during a heated debate. Ethan reacts After anticipation from fans, Ethan reacted to the video on the July 1 episode of the H3 Podcast. He stated that while “I’m glad she’s apologized, I appreciate that,” he still needs “time before (he) can really move on.” He emphasized that he accepts their apology, but claimed they attempted to “ruin” his “life,” “reputation” and “business.” He believed that Trisha would’ve said “whatever she wanted” to get the fans on side, and defended himself for releasing the unedited ‘Pizzagate’ episode. “The only thing that saved me from Trisha… was the fact that all of our fights were put up unedited on Frenemies,” he said. “I don’t want to be in a situation where it’s my word vs. hers.” While reflecting on Trisha’s targeted actions up until now, Ethan commented “it scares me.” (Topic begins at 38:24) Trisha claps back In a now-deleted series of tweets, Trisha tweeted: “Respect and am (sic) fine with him not accepting my apology.” They dispute Ethan’s claim that the apology was impersonal. “I’d just like to clarify I did personally apologize before the video came out,” the YouTuber tweeted, along with a screenshot of an apparent apology text to Ethan. After swiftly deleting the tweets, Trisha insisted that they “do want all of this to be over.” Then, claimed that they will no longer be making any public comment on the situation. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1410778400650760198?s=20 Fans were quick to question the legitimacy of Trisha’s screenshots, with one asking why the contact name was crossed out along with previous texts. “Is she just straight up lying?” the Twitter user said, while another added: “Is it just me or did he text her first?” It seems that both Ethan and Trisha are trying to get the last word in, which begs the question, is reconciliation possible?

H3h3 shares the craziest theory behind Belle Delphine’s ‘disappearance’ – Dexerto
H3h3 shares the craziest theory behind Belle Delphine’s ‘disappearance’ YouTube: the h3 podcast / Instagram: Belle DelphineDuring the October 4 episode of the ‘h3 podcast’ hosted by h3h3’s Ethan Klein, the YouTube comedian shared his crazy theory about why Belle Delphine has disappeared from social media following her ban on Instagram in July. Belle Delphine set the internet on fire when she revealed on her Instagram on July 1 that she was selling her own bath water for $30 called “Gamer Girl Bath Water”. Shocking many, the product sold out. However, the model’s Instagram was banned on July 17 after her account was reported by Reddit users for nudity and pornographic content. After announcing she would be taking a quick break, the internet-personality has been silent on social media since August, and h3h3 has a wild theory about what could have happened. 600H3h3’s crazy theory on Belle Delphine During their latest podcast, host Ethan Klein updated his audience on Belle Delphine, as the model has previously been featured on the show when she sent them a sample of her own spit. “Belle Delphine has completely disappeared from the internet. After her Instagram page got banned on August 1, she has completely and totally disappeared. Even on Patreon, her followers have dwindled to half!” he exclaimed. The YouTube podcaster then pointed out that her official store was also offline. “Her real store is offline, which makes me wonder if she got into legal trouble. Because shipping bath water, I don’t think it’s legal.” Klein then proposed his theory that the model could be in serious legal trouble. “She hit the jackpot. She was everywhere. The Late Night guys, Howard Stern. It was the buzz everywhere. So all of a sudden the UK government was like “You’re selling WHAT in the Royal Mail?” (Timestamp of 01:23:39 for mobile viewers.) Is Belle Delphine gearing up for a return? While the model has been completely silent across social media, Klein also revealed that there has been talk among her Patreon supporters that she could be gearing up for a return, as his podcast had signed up for a membership. However, his Producer pointed out that there has been no solid evidence she actually messaged anyone, and it could just be trolling. The YouTube comedian stated he was going to try to contact her to try and find out what’s going on, and joked that he would totally buy her urine for $10k. As of the time of this article, Belle Delphine has still not posted on her social media since August, and has a lost a substantial amount of her Patreon followers. But as the h3 podcast pointed out, over 2,000 people are still paying for a subscription, so clearly she still has fans waiting for her return.
