Ex Rooster Teeth employee alleges workplace “harassment” and exposes working conditions YouTube: Rooster TeethFormer Rooster Teeth employee Kdin Jenzen has shared allegations of subpar working conditions, poor pay, and transphobic behavior, beginning all the way back in 2013. Founded in 2003, Rooster Teeth rose to prominence in the early 00s with their Red vs. Blue web series. They would go on to amass over a total of 37 million subscribers across several YouTube channels. Last year, predatory allegations were levied against former Rooster Teeth personality Ryan Haywood, resulting in a Twitch ban during an attempted comeback. Now, further allegations of misconduct, transphobic behavior, and abhorrent work conditions have come to light from ex-employee Kdin Jenzen. Rooster Teeth’s Kdin Jenzen details transphobic behavior and more across a decade Kdin Jenzen, an ex-employee of Rooster Teeth, shared their story of a decade’s worth of misconduct while working for the Warner Brothers subsidiary. In a Twitlonger post, Jenzen explained that “from February 2013 until November 2013, I went entirely unpaid for all of my contract work. I was never given the payment promised for anything I did.” “Within a few weeks of working at Rooster Teeth I was given a nickname, that nickname was a slur. Every day I came into work I was called “F*gg*t” – but they could not use that name in content so when anyone was recording I was called “Fugz” instead,” continues Jenzen. In 2016, the nickname was dropped after Jenzen came out as Trans which then incited further “transphobia harassment.” Jenzen detailed that the company would enforce “15 hr work days” and became so isolated in their workload that “people even IN the company forgot I worked.” Purportedly, Rooster Teeth did not “properly support medical insurance coverage” and was “forced to move to LA or get laid off. RT never paid moving costs. COVID forced remote jobs thus SAVING my job.” For the “2021 Anniversary Stream Event” Jenzen had “LIFE SAVING surgery, majority work stolen by coworker and blamed production failures on me during MEDICAL LEAVE.” Efforts to raise awareness for the LGBT community were pushed aside, as Jenzen alleges that the company stated “we’ve done enough for the queer community.” “I still struggle regularly with the emotional, mental, physical, and financial damage that was done to me over those years. There are good people still working there, I’m friends with them, and I wish them the best,” Jenzen added. Warner Brothers and Rooster Teeth respectively have yet to officially address the recent allegations.

Ex-KFC worker spills secrets on TikTok you need to know before ordering KFC / TikTokNext time you’re ordering Kentucky Fried Chicken, there are a few insider secrets you can take advantage of, according to an ex-KFC worker on TikTok. No matter the year, there’s always that one person who talks about a secret menu in your friends group, for McDonald’s, Wendys, KFC, and other fast-food chains. If you have a pal working at one of these places, it might be even worse as they could kid you into thinking there’s a crazy burger ready to be served that only they know about. Then, you turn up to the counter and they look at you like you have three heads when you order it. With so many pranksters and rumors out there, it’s difficult to tell which of these menus is secret and which is fiction. However, somebody who used to work at KFC in the United Kingdom has possibly uncovered the perfect set of tips for the next time you’re eyeing up a Kentucky takeaway. TikToker reveals “secret” KFC ordering tips Posting the video to TikTok, user Joshfedup revealed a list of tips that you may not have known about or taken advantage of. Starting off with a more basic recommendation, the TikToker stated: “If you get a drink, ask for no ice.” Not because it gets you more drink, though. They continued: “The ice sits in that little cooler thing for hours, especially if it’s quiet. It’s just out in the open for hours, so next time you go, make sure to ask for a drink with no ice – you’ll thank me later.” The next secret might actually blow your mind, as it’s not possible if you’re making an order using Uber Eats or DoorDash on your phone. This one is for the in-person folk. Joshfedup added: “When I was there literally no one who was ordering knew this – if you don’t want a drink you can just swap it for a side.” Yep – according to him, in a lot of KFC restaurants they will allow you to switch your drink (with old ice apparently) for a side dish. Take your pick from mashed potatoes with gravy, corn, corn on the cob, potato wedges, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, green beans, or biscuits, depending on your geographical location. In addition, the user states that ordering during busy times is a no-go next time you choose KFC, if you want to avoid long waiting times. But simple tips aside, they revealed another tip about drinks: “If the same person on the tills is doing your drink are you still getting a drink?… They’ve just touched your money, the screen, they’ve been touching other people’s money, and now they’re wiping their hands around the rim of your drink.” In a world that’s certainly more conscious of human contact, given the global health crisis, that one might be the most topical of the lot. So, next time you’re fancying a KFC meal, will you be putting these insider tips to good use?

Ex-McDonald’s manager claims company uses app to exploit customers UnsplashAn alleged ex-McDonald’s manager has shared on TikTok how the company supposedly uses their app to take advantage of their customer’s previous “buying patterns.”. Mcdonald’s is one of the most popular fast food chains across the world. And while some headlines expose sub-optimal food-making practices in rare cases, a new TikTok from an alleged ex-McDonald’s chef shines a light on the way in which the company seemingly utilizes its app to target customers. Mike Haracz, who claims to have previously worked at the company as a manager, discussed the reality of this situation in a new video on TikTok. The new TikTok, which has over 30,000 views and quickly climbing on the platform, is a response to the question Haracz received in which he was asked, “How does McDonald’s know how much money I have when I eat there?” “Why do you think McDonald’s wants you to use the app for everything?,” Haracz fired back before going in-depth about the way in which the McDonald’s app is allegedly able to track customers and their spending. “McDonald’s, [through] the app, absolutely can target you based on your buying patterns,” he insisted. “Whatever consumer science data is used to lump different groups together in different locations,” Haracz then added, “they know how much money you have, they know what you buy, they know what you like.” However, he did note that it’s not just McDonald’s that does this, pointing out that “a lot of places do this with credit card numbers.” “After you swipe your credit card, they kind of know what that card has ordered from them in the past,” he added, “and can use that information to specifically either target you or adjust their marketing, their ads to make sure that what they’re promoting in a specific region is tailored just to you.” TikTok users were not at all shocked by the news, one commenting on the video, “McDonald’s likely has to share the data because they use third-party software providers for the analytics.” However, another commented that, following this news, they will be sticking to “cash only” purchases moving forward.

Ex FaZe member Kay warns influencers to stay away from crypto after Save the Kids scandal YouTube: DEXERTO OriginalsFormer FaZe Clan member Frazier ‘Kay’ Khattri has put out a stark warning to other content creators and influencers, advising them to stay away from crypto or risk facing a similar backlash to him. In 2021, Kay and brother Jarvis, alongside several other FaZe members and associates, came under fire for their involvement the ‘Save the Kids’ crypto controversy, a new token that was posed as a charitable venture. The scheme was exposed as a ‘pump and dump’, with many of the influencers involved immediately selling off either all of their tokens, or a large majority of them, in an attempt to make a quick profit. Since then, Kay and Jarvis both lost their roles in FaZe Clan and have returned to the UK — and Kay has given a warning to influencers who could end up following in his footsteps. During an interview with Dexerto Originals, Kay spoke at length about the drama surrounding him and the damage it caused, even saying that he’s paid up to $400-500k back to people who lost money on Save the Kids. Asked about other influencers’ involvement in crypto, Kay said: “I see so many of them. I still see them all online and I’m just thinking, I really wish I could reach out and help these guys and tell them to take a step back for a second. “Go see your mom, just have her remind you who you are as a person, because just like me, suddenly these influencers get thrown into a crazy life, crazy amounts of money, crazy amounts of responsibility, and you want more obviously … I would advise all influencers to just stay away from crypto, in my opinion. It’s too soon, it’s not fully developed.” Timestamp 16:56 He went on to add that he “still sees influencers talking about crypto, just in a different way,” adding that he “wishes he could tell them to stop.” It’s unlikely that we see influencers step away from the crypto space completely, but there will no doubt be many that see what happened with Kay, and how that situation blew up, and think twice before promoting an altcoin or crypto scheme — and that’s exactly what he wants.

Ex Fortnite pro Chap accuses Twitch of taking money from him and disabling ads on channel Chap/TwitchRetired Fortnite pro Ryan ‘Chap’ Chaplo is accusing Twitch of taking a large sum of money from him and disabling ads on his channel after being flagged for “fraud,” but he has no idea why. Chap has been retired from Fortnite for quite some time, but was seeing some nice success on Twitch by streaming The Cycle Frontier. He was getting viewership on par with his Fortnite days, but that all came to a vicious end. On November 14, the streamer revealed that he was making the most money he ever had in his life when suddenly, his payment method wasn’t working for Twitch. After speaking with his partner manager, Chap learned his account had been flagged for “fraud” and Twitch needed to investigate the situation. “I just assumed that someone had donated subs or bits with a stolen credit card, but apparently that is not what they meant,” the streamer explained. Twitch accused of taking money from streamer Chap was then informed that Twitch was terminating his participation in the Ads Program and claims the Amazon-owned company took a “large” portion of his pending balance. To make matters worse, Chap says Twitch refused to explain what he had done, making it impossible to even appeal, writing that he still has no idea what he’s been accused of. “This is absolutely ridiculous to do to anyone, especially someone who has streamed on your website for 4 years with ZERO issues, bans, or ANYTHING. The only thing I am able to do is to make the assumption that Twitch is claiming that I view botted my channel during drops to make more money off of ads,” he blasted. In a series of Discord screenshots, Chap shared a conversation he had with his Twitch partner manager, and even they don’t seem to know what the streamer was accused of doing. Explaining why he went public, Chap said he felt “betrayed” by Twitch and doesn’t want others to be in his position. “I feel helpless and I am not sure what to do other than to go public with this and try to make it so this never happens to anyone ever again,” the streamer said. It’s not clear yet if going public will help the situation, but hopefully the streamer and Twitch can finally get to the bottom of exactly what’s going on with his account.

Ex-Girlfriend of YouTuber Ray Diaz “”scared to go home”” after he is released from jail Angelica Salek, the ex-girlfriend of Ray Diaz, says she is “scared to go home” after the social media star was released from jail on bond. Ray Diaz, also known as Raymundo Diaz, was arrested by Los Angeles Police Department detectives in San Diego, California on July 12 on suspicion of sexual assault. The claims were raised against him on July 11 when girlfriend Angelica Salek appeared on Drama Alert to speak up on the situation. He was handed a $500,000 bail amount but was released on bond on July 13 after someone paid $50,000. His release has unsettled his ex-girlfriend who used Twitter to make her concerns known. YouTuber Daniel ‘Keemstar’ Keem, whose Drama Alert video on the situation seemingly helped shed light on what was happening, tweeted out a tearful video from Salek after Diaz was released. “I just found out that Ray got released from jail and I just feel really scared right now,” started the 17-year-old actress. “I don’t know what to do. I’m scared to go home and I don’t think this is fair. He got out of jail for $50,000 and I don’t think that everything he’s done, how scared he’s made me feel, that is ok – I’m so scared to go home.” Ray Diaz victim Angelica scared after hearing he got out of jail on $50k Bond. pic.twitter.com/uQFUxNFmkA — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) July 14, 2019 That video came an hour after she had already revealed the news of Diaz’s bond to her Twitter followers. “I have never been so scared in my life… Ray Diaz is out of jail,” the young actress tweeted, clearly shaken up by the news. I have never been so scared in my life… Ray Diaz is out of jail. — Angelica Salek (@angelicasalek) July 14, 2019 Of course, Salek received plenty of support from her followers and others who saw the scared tweet – with many reassuring her that she was going to be fine. Others suggested that she seeks out friends and family that she could rely on, with the actress noting that her mother is working closely with detectives to ensure her safety. My mom is doing everything in her power to protect me! She is working very close with detectives. — Angelica Salek (@angelicasalek) July 14, 2019 Neither Diaz or anyone connected to him has made an official statement about his arrest or subsequent release.

Ex-Amish TikToker says US emergency alert caused several Amish to get “shunned” TikTok: YoderToter40/Unsplash: @randyfathAn ex-Amish man on TikTok has shared that a few current members of the Amish were “shunned” after the US Emergency Alert went off on phones they had smuggled into the community. In most, if not all, Amish communities across the United States, its members cannot have modern technology like cars, computers, and cell phones. But what happens if you smuggle in a cell phone, and the US decides to send a nation-wide emergency alert test without the ability to find out about it ahead of time? TikToker and ex-Amish church member Eli Yoder revealed on October 4, 2023, that the nationwide test that same day lead to several members of the community getting “shunned.” Amish members shunned after US emergency alert test He said: “Several Amish men got shunned by the Amish Church for having smart phones in their pocket when the emergency alert system went off.” Eli went on to explain that the day of the EAS test in the US, three of them replied to Eli stating that they would have to lay low for a while due to getting caught with the device. “One guy said the elders were coming in his driveway and they were there to speak with him about something they heard about him, that he might have to get shunned. Right as that was going on, the alert went off and it was in his pocket,” Yoder explained. The ex-Amish man added: “Now he’s getting shunned for both. Whatever they were after to shun him and also the cell phone.” Getting shunned can vary from each Amish sect, but Amishbaskets says that getting shunned “involves a painful separation of a person from their community.” The person, after getting shunned, can no longer eat or take rides with the other community members.

Ex-FaZe member Kay kicks off feud with JiDion and King Kenny ahead of boxing debut Instagram: @FrazierKay + YouTube: JiDIonFrazier Kay has leapt whole-heartedly into the world of smack-talk again. This time stirring up new beef with Jidion ‘JiDion’ Adams and Kenny ‘King Kenny’ Ojuederie over a proposed boxing debut in August. The professional gamer turned content creator turned alleged scam artist, Frazier Kay has shot himself back into relevance with an outrageous ‘looking for’ post on Twitter. The 26-year-old London local took to Twitter posting: “Looking for a heavyweight content creator, 200+ lbs who wants to box. Hit me up.” With absolutely no shortage of offers to go toe-to-toe in the ring, content creators worldwide picked up the call to fight and returned it. JiDion entered into the fray with a spicy back and forth starting with: “You tryna hop in the ring.” He then called Frazier out over the alleged ‘Save the Kids’ scam, tweeting “just don’t scam me”. Shots were fired back by Kay accusing JiDion of getting banned from boxing. Kay then doubled down with “I bet you any money you don’t sign a fight with me.” JiDion appeared to have the last laugh on Twitter, however, ending their conversation with the damning accusation “your money or the money you scammed from fans?” In the midst of would-be fighters throwing their hats in the ring, Beta Squad member King Kenny chimed in accusing Kay of dropping out of a fight already being worked out in the background. Looool no way are you pussying out of our fight, don’t make me drop the receipts 😂🤣 https://t.co/hGBz7GvYn0 — Kenny (@KingKennyTv) April 4, 2022 Further muddying the waters, Frazier denied he was pulling out of the fight. Instead claiming that King Kenny wasn’t meeting weight for a fight proposed in June. Prompting Kenny to reply with “Stop lying. We agreed on August not June and we would meet at 85KG (you’re 90 right now). Don’t front for Twitter, just own the fact.” Fan response to the saga has been mixed, with calls of “fraud” ringing loudest. Whether this will lead to a legitimate bout remains to be seen, but we will keep you updated with any changes to the situation if, and when, it comes.

Ewok destroys Dr Disrespect after his attempt to roast Ninja’s sneaker Streaming sensation Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has finally unveiled the fruits of his collaboration with Adidas’ “Time In” campaign — but not everyone is sold on his new kicks, including the two-time champ Dr Disrespect. While much of the gaming space is hyped about Ninja’s new footwear, Dr Disrespect seems rather nonplussed by the major announcement, and took a good-natured shot at his fellow streamer in a hilarious Tweet concerning the new sneaks. “Cute design,” the Doc wrote in response to Ninja’s announcement, attaching a photo of children’s shoes as if to clown the look of Blevins’ exclusive “Night Joggers.” Never one to back down, Ninja thew some joking shade the Doc’s way, asking, “When is your shoe coming out?” as though to highlight his own success. However, Ninja wasn’t alone in this roast session: fourteen-year-old Fortnite pro FaZe Ewok came in with the clutch assist at the last second with a comment that left the entire community in stitches. he’s trying to figure out how to waterproof it for the next time he films in a public restroom — XSET Ewok (@Ewok) December 18, 2019 “He’s trying to figure out how to waterproof it for the next time he films in a public restroom,” Ewok replied, calling back to the two-time’s viral incident at E3 2019 after he live streamed in multiple public restrooms at the event. Needless to say, Ewok’s savage comment sent fans into a frenzy, with some even joking that an “Ewok vs Dr Disrespect” boxing match should take place on the next KSI vs Logan Paul undercard (although another match between the two has been decidedly nixed). Ninja’s “Night Joggers” follow his initial teaser of his Adidas collab in late August, which, at the time, featured no specific details as to the exact merchandise he’d be releasing — although he encouraged fans to “use their imaginations.” Read More: Twitch streamer eats cat food for donations – Now, the streaming star has produced his own designer athletic shoes, which released at the same time as Puma’s own $180 “Active Gaming Footwear,” with both “Attack” and “Defense modes.” No matter the case, it seems that the worlds of gaming and footwear are coinciding in a major way — even if Dr Disrespect isn’t a huge fan of this development.

Everything we know about the Avatar: The Last Airbender Netflix show John Staub / Nickelodeon / NeflixWith Avatar: The Last Airbender hitting its 15th anniversary, fans have never been more excited for the Netflix live-action series. Here is everything we know about the highly anticipated remake. The Last Airbender’s final episode aired on Nickelodeon in 2008, cementing the animation as a cultural phenomena. Viewers from around the world connected with its story about a kid monk named Aang who can bend the elements of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. However 15 years later, Netflix looks to bring the beloved series back to life in the form of a live-action drama. When is it finally coming out? Who has been cast? Here is everything that is currently known about the much-hyped revival. Netflix announce a Live-Action series of Avatar In September 2018, streaming giant Netflix announced that they are making a live-action version of the animated series. In a joint statement, Avatar creators Bryan Konietzko & Michael DiMartino revealed they would be working on the project and returning as showrunners. “We’re thrilled for the opportunity to helm this live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. We can’t wait to realize Aang’s world as cinematically as we always imagined it to be, and with a culturally appropriate, non-whitewashed cast,” it read. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to build upon everyone’s great work on the original animated series and go even deeper into the characters, story, action, and world-building. Netflix is wholly dedicated to manifesting our vision for this retelling, and we’re incredibly grateful to be partnering with them.” On his blog, Konietzko stated that he was excited to be working with his partner DiMartino again on a “simultaneously new and old adventure.” Who will be cast in the new series? So far, things have been tight-lipped on the project, and there has been no official announcements on actors. Although at the beginning of January 2019, showrunner Konietzko stated on his blog that casting had not happened yet. “We are not yet at that stage in the production. There will be an OPEN CASTING CALL, likely sometime later this year,” the post read. Speculation began to build over whether original cast members of the animation would make a cameo in the Netflix show. In May 2019, Toph’s voice actor Jessie Flower met with the creators and they stated, “She had some great insights on being a child actor that will surely benefit our future cast.” In a February 2020 interview with ComicBook, Zuko’s voice actor Dante Basco said “We’ll see, we’ll see” when asked if he would be joining the cast, so it’s up in the air if we can expect any of the old casting to return – even in small parts. When will the Netflix series be coming out? Netflix has not yet given a release date for the series, although in a 2019 podcast with Toph’s voice actor Jessie Flowers, she stated that she believed production would start in early 2020, and Book 1 would be filmed in Canada. Fans of the series went wild when Netflix uploaded a slot for the live-action Avatar on their platform with a date of 2020, as it’s usually a sign that a trailer is dropping soon. Although, the streaming giant ended up removing the year from the listing completely. In September 2019, a visual effects artist claimed to have worked on the live-action show, and posted photos of the set tests on Reddit. However, it was quickly removed at request of the studio. Based on where they are at in production, it’s probably safe to assume it will be a 2021 release at this point. What initially seemed like just another kid’s show, Avatar quickly proved to be a riveting epic with mature themes and incredible characters. The series’ legacy has only grown since with successful graphic novels and sequel spin-off The Legend of Korra which aired in 2013. The groundbreaking animation has spawned millions of fans around the world who are eager to see their favorite story brought to life. Especially after the disaster that was the 2010 M. Night Shyamalan-directed film. Last Airbender fans have a lot to be excited for, especially since Netflix has proven that it’s capable of bringing these kinds of properties to the big screen with the success of the 2020 Witcher series.

Evidence suggests Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau are not legally married Instagram: Jake Paul/Tana MongeauYouTube couple Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau finally went through with their long-awaited wedding, however one Twitter user is claiming that their marraige may not have been legally binding. The YouTubers set the internet ablaze on June 24 when they revealed that they had gotten engaged during Mongeau’s 21st birthday bash. The pair seemed set to tie the knot only a few days later on June 28 but put it off for a month. In front of family, friends, and a paying audience on a livestream, Paul and Mongeau went through with their union on July 28 – despite a fight breaking out during the ceremony. However, one Twitter sleuth has alleged that their matrimony may not have been entirely official. 600Twitter user Its_heatherchan claims that the wedding was “fake & not legally binding” because no wedding license was obtained. The account also alleged that to officiate a wedding in Las Vegas you must obtain a further license and Team 10’s Arman ‘Armani’ Izadi did not – even though it was claimed that he become ordained in order to carry out the ceremony. #JanaWedding was Fake & NOT Legally Binding. No marriage license was obtained. Also, to officiate a wedding in NV, you MUST obtain a License to Officiate a Wedding (doesnt matter if you are ordained or not). Approved Licenses are searchable-Armani does not have one.All the Proof: pic.twitter.com/k6YPSJ03x2 — HEATHER CHANDLER (@ITS_HEATHERCHAN) July 29, 2019 Its_heatherchan dug deeper into the story, noting that proof of these licenses can be found in a local online database. After searching for both ‘Jacob Paul’ and Tana Mongeau, the Twitter user was seemingly unable to find any sort of record online. They also pointed out that while some fans may claim that a license can be obtained in a different state, Nevada weddings must have a Nevada license. 3) (Photo showing #TanaMongeau did not get marriage license.

Everything we know about Noah Beck’s reality show, ‘Noah Beck Tries Things’ YouTube: Noah BeckTikTok star Noah Beck crashed into the spotlight early last year, and now, he’s getting his very own reality show with Viacom’s Awesomeness TV. Here’s everything you need to know to tune in. Noah Beck is a hugely popular influencer across multiple platforms, although he’s best known for his status as a top-tier TikToker. Breaking into the world of internet stardom in June of 2020 with Sway House, Beck has since made a name for himself in his own right, now boasting over 23 million followers on TikTok alone. Since then, Beck has started dating Dixie D’Amelio, and on January 12, it was revealed that he’s even getting his own reality series. View this post on Instagram What is ‘Noah Beck Tries Things’ about? ‘Noah Beck Tries Things’ is the (humorously accurate) name of Noah’s upcoming reality show, which will feature the collegiate soccer player-turned-TikTok star on his journey through internet fame. The show follows Beck from his introduction to the Los Angeles lifestyle just after kickstarting his career as an influencer, and will include a ton of hijinks along the way, featuring big names such as James Charles, Blake Gray, and, of course, Dixie D’Amelio. As for what fans can expect the series to entail, it seems that Beck will be scouring Los Angeles to find his “thing,” and, as the show’s name implies, trying all manner of activities to achieve this goal — from “making diss tracks to DIY crafts.” Where to watch Noah Beck Tries Things Fans can tune into Noah Beck Tries things on Awesomeness TV’s digital platforms, which appear to include its official YouTube channel and website. The show will kick off on Friday, January 22, 2021 at 7 AM PST / 10 AM EST. Make sure to mark your calendars — this isn’t a broadcast that fans will want to miss out on! Beck isn’t the only TikToker getting his own show, either; the D’Amelio family similarly announced their own upcoming reality show in December 2020, which will follow the group amid their daughters’ struggles with internet stardom. It looks like TikTokers keep breaking into the mainstream — but the jury’s still out on whether or not their shows will live up to the hype.

On February 15, MrBeast announced that he’d be holding the YouTube Battle Royale featuring some of the biggest YouTubers. While he admitted that it wasn’t an original concept, he managed to use his status as one of the most popular content creators around to set up what looks to be one of the biggest events of 2019. What is the YouTube Battle Royale? The battle royale competition will capitalize on the popularity of the genre by bringing things to life with many of the biggest battle royale YouTubers and Twitch streamer and pitting them against each other. In true MrBeast fashion, the competition will have plenty of monetary stakes at hand, as he’s put up a massive $100,000 prize pool, much like his YouTuber circle challenge from early December 2018. When is the YouTube Battle Royale? As detailed in MrBeast’s initial tweet, the Battle Royale will take place on March 6 at an unnamed location in Los Angeles, California. MrBeast likewise claimed that competitors will be paired in duos, likely in reference to popular battle royale game Fortnite. Although some of the participants have named more than one person as their teammates, so it’s unclear what the rules of the event actually are. Attention epic gamers On March 6th I’m hosting an in real life Youtuber Battle Royal with airsoft guns, winner gets $100,000. It will be in LA and similar to Dude Perfects’s video (which btw I really enjoyed). Reply if you’re a youtuber and want in!https://t.co/x7kpxalvJC — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) February 15, 2019 Who will participate in the YouTube Battle Royale? While no names were initially confirmed, as the event got closer and closer, many of the biggest YouTube and Twitch content creators let their fans known that they’d be a part of the massive event. From Anthony Padilla and Rachel ‘Valkyrae’ Hofsetter to Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop and Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys, MrBeast’s YouTuber battle royale looks to be one of the most packed events in recent memory.

MrBeast also admitted to taking inspiration from popular YouTube group Dude Perfect, who created a similar challenge in the style of battle royale game PUBG using airsoft guns in November 2018. A quick look at the group’s video on the subject shows an action-packed, paintball-esque competition, complete with POV cameras and a compelling map layout. When can I watch the YouTube Battle Royale? Unfortunately, this is one of the biggest question marks for the upcoming event. While we know that the event will take place on March 6, there’s no word yet on when the video will be released. Given the fact that many streamers will be in attendance, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see it streamed in some capacity. There’s been no official word on the existence of a stream, however. Whenever the video does drop, though, it’s sure to be one of the most watched videos in quite some time given the sheer number of popular content creators that will be in attendance.

How to watch Jake Paul & Tana Mongeau’s wedding – stream, celebrity guests, & more Tana Moneau, Instagram / FreepikControversial YouTuber Jake Paul popped the question to social media star Tana Mongeau in a Vegas nightclub, setting them up for a fast-paced wedding just a month later – and it’s already almost time for their big day. While many fans are still dubious about the legitimacy of their union, it doesn’t look like the speculation is stopping the two YouTubers, who are set to get married on Sunday, July 28. In keeping with their Vegas engagement, the two are tying the knot in Sin City, in what they claim to be a $500,000 bash at the Graffitti Mansion, with their reception taking place at the Sugar Factory. 600How and where to watch the big wedding Fans of the YouTube couple can tune into their celebration on MTV, who will film the whole event, to be aired later on their YouTuber reality show. If you want to watch the event live however, the wedding will be streamed on Halogen TV, but it isn’t free – viewers will have to pay a hefty fee of $49.99 to witness this matrimony. For those willing to put down the cash, the stream will go live at on July 28 at 5 PM PST / 8 PM EST / 2 AM BST, so don’t miss out (and potentially end up wasting that $50). 600https://www.instagram.com/p/BztnrpdhNyc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkWho got invited to the ceremony? Jake Paul uploaded a YouTube video on July 26, which featured the social media star handing out personalized invitations to major internet celebs with Tana in tow. Thus far, it’s looking like their wedding will see such attendees as Instagram star Nikita Dragun, former Viner King Bach, and top YouTubers Lele Pons and Trisha Paytas. Of course, Jake’s older brother, Logan Paul, will also be in attendance, but not as a mere spectator: instead, Logan is set to take the role of Jake’s best man, after purportedly tearing up upon realizing that “Jana” is the real deal. With just one day left, Jake and Tana’s wedding precedes Logan’s “Challenger Games,” which is set to similarly feature a slew of internet stars in a track and field competition for charity. While speculation is still rife regarding “Jana,” the couple is determined to go through with their wedding, fake or not – and only time will tell if the two will last.

Ukrainian Twitch star Evelone192 pleads for unban after platform ‘ghosts’ him Instagram: Evelone192‘Evelone192’, a Ukrainian Twitch star with nearly 1.3 million followers, has pleaded with the platform to unban him following months of ‘ghosting’ him. His Twitter account, which he made specifically to reach out to Twitch, has gone viral. He’s one of the biggest Twitch streamers you’ve never heard of. Ukrainian ‘Evelone192’ is the CIS’ answer to Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, with his Just Chatting and variety gaming streams raking in upwards of 40,000 average viewers. He has 1.27 million followers on the platform, making him one of the biggest streamers in Cyrillic. However, he hasn’t gone live since December 15, 2020. Why? Twitch has banned him indefinitely and is refusing to answer his pleas for an unban, according to the streamer. ❌ Twitch Partner “”Evelone192″” has been banned! ❌https://t.co/xMVX1uTA7i#twitch #ban #sixthban #partner #twitchpartner 💢 — StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) December 15, 2020 Evelone was reportedly banned over saying “an offensive word,” but Twitch threw down the gauntlet at him. “Yes, I made a mistake, when during the stream session, I used an offensive word. Unfortunately, [at] that time I did not realize the meaning of it,” he said in a March 20 statement. The streamer has reportedly reached out to “the Rabbi from Israel” to receive forgiveness and that he wasn’t malicious in his use of the slur. However, three months on, Twitch isn’t replying to his emails and unban requests. “I’ve been [banned for] three months already. [It’s been] 1.5 months since I made an official appeal, and I did not receive any answer. Please answer me, Twitch.” Maybe that’s how @Twitch will see me and answer back#FREEEVELONE192 pic.twitter.com/1JJ8Ol7bCd — Вадим (@Evelone_192) March 20, 2021 Evelone’s situation isn’t that much different from that of NBA pro Meyers Leonard. Leonard used an anti-Semitic slur during a Warzone stream earlier in March. He was suspended from Twitch for a week before being unbanned. However, Evelone has been banned numerous times before. He was suspended six times across 2020, including his final ban on December 15, according to StreamerBans. His previous suspension was for a month, spanning from August 24 to September 24. Fans have been attempting to get #FREEEVELONE192 trending on Twitter, with thousands using the hashtag to raise awareness of the streamer’s suspension. At the time of publishing, Evelone’s Twitch account is still banned. Twitch typically don’t comment on individual suspensions.

Every Love Island Season 7 star on TikTok: Aaron, Lucinda, more Instagram: Millie Court, Toby AromolaranYou might have found their Instagram but did you know what stars from the current season of Love Island are also on TikTok? Here’s a full run-down of everyone’s TikTok accounts from Season 7 so far. Love Island, the iconic British dating show that puts a group of young, attractive people into a villa, is back. Over the course of the show, the contestants face various challenges and are encouraged to couple up. Viewers are able to vote on which couples should be sent home and who are the ultimate winners. We’re well into Season 7 of the hit show and as the competition tightens, people naturally want to see what people are up to on social media. Who’s posting gossip from behind the scenes? Who’s still friends with who? Want to keep up with everything that’s happening to your favorite couple? It turns out that a number of the show’s stars are not just making a name for themselves on Instagram, but also on TikTok. Here’s a run down of their accounts if you want to keep up with them. Aaron Francis – @aaronfranciis Francis is leading the way with over 170,000 followers despite already having left the villa. His videos have touched subjects such as his acne, time on Love Island, and isolation experiences Toby Aromolaran – @tobyaromolaran. Toby holds the number two spot with more than 150,000+ followers. He has only posted two videos so far – one wondering how he’s going to sneak his dog onto the island. Lucinda Strafford – @lucindastrafford4 Close behind is the number one girl on the list (for now). Dumped on the same day as Francis, Lucinda has seemingly gained her following in less than 24 hours with her first video getting over 2 million views (check at time of pub). Her follower count is currently over 140,000. Lillie Haynes – @lillie.haynes Lillie had a significant following before Love Island and now stands at over 47,000 followers. Her videos have capitalized on trends such as the silhouette challenge as well as giving beauty tips. Salma Naran – @salma.naranx Salma has been posting on TikTok since September 2019. Since leaving the villa on Day 32, Naran has posted several TikToks about their experiences on the show. Previously she’d posted about her life and makeup routines. Hugo Hammond – @hugo_hammond Hugo hasn’t posted many videos on his TikTok (a total of three) but that hasn’t stopped him from amassing 17,900 followers already. His first video is one of him singing a cover of Sam Smith’s ‘I’m Not The Only One’ while the other two feature clips from the show. Kaz Kamwi – @kazkamwi Next we have Kaz. Still in the competition (for now), Kaz is very active on TikTok having posted over 90 videos. This has included funny duets eating candy and outfit changes. Kamwi is regularly sponsored by Primark in her videos. Millie Court – @milliegracecourt Millie Court is yet to post anything related to Love Island on TikTok but she has been active in the past. Posting videos about her dog and life with friends, it will be interesting to see if Court posts about her experiences in the villa once she’s out. Right now, Millie has just over 15,000 followers. Sharon Gaffka – @sharonngaffka Gaffka has a small presence on TikTik with only four videos promoting Love Island. However, she’s still managed to build a following of 12,600 despite posting no original videos so far. Eliminated on Day 19, we will have to see whether Sharon will be offering her thoughts about the show on TikTok anytime soon. Mary Bedford – @marybedford While she has only posted four videos, Bedford has created quite the following already with her biggest video reaching more than 400,000 views. Joining the competition on Day 29, we can’t wait to see what Mary has to say when she gets out. Who else from Love Island Season 7 is on TikTok? There are a total of 26 contestants on Love Island with TikTok accounts linked to them (that we know of so far). The eight who don’t have an account yet are Amy Day, Dale Mehmet, Liam Reardon, Sam Jackson, Harry Young, Andrea-Jane “AJ” Bunker, Brad McClelland, and Oliver “Chuggs” Wallis. With Reardon and Mehmet still in the final fourteen of the competition, it might be w0rth watching this space. Some smaller accounts were linked to the following contestants. Check out the links below: We’ll keep this article updated as more join the app, and start posting content to grow their following.

Eugenia Cooney shares heartwarming reaction to Shane Dawson documentary Shane Dawson, YouTubeControversial YouTuber Eugenia Cooney stirred up concern across the internet in early February, after uploading a cosplay video that showed her body in a near-skeletal state: and, although she took a lengthy social media hiatus following the backlash, she’s finally back, thanks to longtime YouTuber Shane Dawson. Shane Dawson’s long-awaited documentary series finally dropped on July 19, after months of relative radio silence that had some fans wondering if he was going to cover such subjects as a “haunted hotel.” However, there are no ghosts in Dawson’s latest upload: instead, he decided to document the transformation of Eugenia Cooney, who has been a subject of controversy throughout her YouTube career due to an apparent eating disorder – one that she heavily denied. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9tEZhw4GMMCooney addressed the concern around her health during a series of conversations with Dawson throughout his video, where she admitted to suffering from an eating disorder that she declined to officially label. “I guess like, before, there would be times where I realized, ‘Hey, I’m not eating enough, I really should be taking better care of myself,’” she said of the matter. “…I guess it’s like smoking or something, where people kind of know, ‘I should stop this.’” (Timestamp: 35:43 for mobile viewers) Despite the heavy-hitting content, Dawson’s documentary was met with critical acclaim, reaching the number one spot on YouTube’s trending page and seeing a wave of support toward Cooney – a development that saw her post an emotional Tweet shortly thereafter. “Seeing so much support is making me cry,” she wrote of the video. “…It’s been a really difficult year and it’s a hard journey, but if I can overcome my demons, know that you can too. Love you all.” Seeing so much support is making me cry. :sob: Thank you guys so so much for being so kind and positive towards me. It’s been a really difficult year and it’s a hard journey, but if I can overcome my demons, know that you can too. Love you all :heart:️:heart:️:heart:️ — Eugenia Cooney (@Eugenia_Cooney) July 19, 2019 Cooney’s recovery made waves across the net after her hairdresser posted a photo of the YouTuber to Instagram in early June, which had many fans hoping that the picture denoted her ongoing recovery. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/ByHZcSmHiru/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkWith Cooney on the mend and finally back online, it looks like things are truly turning around for the 24-year-old content creator, who is back to uploading YouTube videos as of June 20 – a development that her fans are overjoyed to hear.

Euphoria’s Chloe Cherry mocked over viral TikTok video TikTok: cleanpuppyEuphoria actress Chloe Cherry is getting roasted online after posting a video on TikTok showing off her new teeth — but not everyone is a fan of her updated smile. Chloe Cherry is an American actress, influencer, and fashion model best known for her work in HBO’s coming-of-age series ‘Euphoria.’ In the show, Cherry plays a character named Faye, the girlfriend of a drug dealer. Faye has been a recurring character on the series, launching Cherry’s already prolific career as an internet star even further into the limelight. Cherry boasts a fairly large online following, full of fans trailing her every move… but it doesn’t look like they were into her latest cosmetic procedure. Euphoria star Chloe Cherry roasted over new veneers On October 11, Cherry posted a clip to her TikTok account showing off her new smile. In previous videos, Cherry’s teeth look pretty natural — but in this video, it’s clear that the actress got herself some shiny new veneers. The Euphoria star made sure to open wide in the video; but her straight, super-white teeth, combined with her uber-full lips threw some viewers off. In fact, comments underneath the video are full of people mocking her new teeth, with one even comparing her to a certain Titan from Attack on Titan. “I was so scared the whole video,” one user wrote. “My favorite horse from Spirit,” another said. “This better be removable dentures gurl, this looks insane,” yet another wrote. Thus far, the video has garnered over 14 million views since being uploaded just over a week ago. This isn’t the only clip of hers coming under fire following her dental transformation, either, with another two uploads since then also boasting similar comments roasting her teeth. At the time of writing, Cherry has yet to respond to the situation. In the meantime, keep it locked to Dexerto for more trending celebrity and influencer news.

Evander Holyfield wants to fight Jake Paul if he’s offered “enough money” Instagram/evanderholyfieldFormer professional boxer and four-time world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield says he would be interested in getting into the ring with YouTube sensation Jake Paul – if the money is right. Jake Paul has taken the internet by storm with his boxing antics, including a recent knockout in round one against former UFC mixed martial artist Ben Askren, and Holyfield has taken notice. While the “problem child” has proven to be just that, even going as far as sabotaging brother Logan’s press conference ahead of his bout with Floyd Mayweather, Jake is showing no signs of stopping. Now, as he eagerly awaits his next opponent (of which he seems to have many to choose from), Holyfield says he’s down to get a piece of the amateur boxer himself. In an interview with The Sun, the 58-year-old boxing legend dismissed Paul as “a guy who didn’t come through amateurs” and just fights as a “hobby.” “He has a little bit more weight behind how to do things because people like him are doing it for the fun of it,” Holyfield claimed. “The thing is, it’s about ego, what he’s doing. People he wants to fight, if people agree to fight him, they know he’s got all these followers.” Despite being out of action for ten years, Holyfield says he would have no problem duking it out with Jake Paul. “If he believes he can beat me, and he gave me enough money, oh, yes, I’d get in the ring with him,” the real deal said. “And I’d show people what would happen.” So far, Jake Paul hasn’t responded to the challenge, but given how the two boxers have a good relationship and even previously trained together, it’s possible that the YouTuber could step up. It would definitely be an interesting bout, especially considering Holyfield’s legendary history and Paul’s own knockout power, which has paved the way to his undefeated 3-0 record. Hopefully, this challenge wasn’t just talk, and something concrete materializes between the two in the near future.

Eugenia Cooney addresses health concerns following Shane Dawson video Eugenia Cooney, Shane Dawson / YouTubeControversial YouTuber Eugenia Cooney returned to social media in a video from Shane Dawson, who took a deep dive into her eating disorder and subsequent recovery – but some fans aren’t convinced that everything is hunky dory. While Eugenia admitted to having an eating disorder and discussed her time in rehab, Dawson’s seemingly positive video wasn’t met with equally positive reviews, despite trending at the number one spot on YouTube. In fact, some commenters questioned if Eugenia was relapsing, with one YouTuber in particular accusing her family of attributing to her condition. YouTuber Jaclyn Glenn uploaded a series of videos with two friends shortly after Dawson’s documentary went live, claiming that his video was merely part of Cooney’s “script” to dissuade concerns over her health. Glenn likewise claimed that she’d tried to stage an intervention without Cooney’s knowledge – a situation that purportedly turned sour, after Cooney’s mother allegedly called police to arrest Glenn due to the debacle. Cooney later uploaded a Q&A video on July 28 claiming that she is in good health and has a supportive family, appearing to address Glenn’s multiple videos on the subject without naming names after a fan asked if she felt safe at home. “Yes, Andrea, I do,” Cooney answered. “I know there’s been some stuff said, which is unfortunate… I am very lucky to have a good family and to have a good mom. Regardless of what some videos say, I do.” (Timestamp: 4:26 for mobile viewers) Cooney’s comments follow her five-month social media hiatus, after fans expressed mass concern over her appearance in a Kingdom Hearts cosplay video. The YouTuber went silent not long after her cosplay video went viral, announcing that she would be taking time away from the net to work with a doctor, with images of the internet star leaking in June thanks to her hairdresser – showing what appeared to be a happy and healthy version of Cooney. 600Despite her apparent recovery, fans and critics alike continue to sound off across the net in fear that the YouTuber is in an unsafe environment, although Cooney remains politely adamant that she is in good hands.

Eugenia Cooney responds after strangers call police about her health Instagram: eugeniacooneyYouTuber Eugenia Cooney has revealed on Twitter that she needs to speak to police after someone called them and told them she was going into cardiac arrest. Eugenia has over 2 million subscribers on YouTube, and largely posts content relating to fashion, cosplay and occasionally gaming-related content. After people grew increasingly concerned about her over the years, in 2019 she took part in a Shane Dawson documentary in which she admitted to having an eating disorder, and documented part of her recovery. However, the creator has come under heavy criticism since then for posting revealing YouTube and Instagram videos that show her body. Her posts and videos are regularly flooded with comments from people who implore her to “get help,” and some are contacting the police about her.

Eugenia Cooney explained the situation on Instagram as well. pic.twitter.com/9ew8QF6ZI2 — Def Noodles (@defnoodles) May 21, 2021 It’s unclear who exactly made this specific call, or if there is something more to the story, but once Eugenia has spoken to the police there may be more updates to follow.

Etika’s Twitter account suspended following string of YouTuber hacks Etika, Twitter / PixabayLate YouTuber Desmond “Etika” Amofah was reported deceased by the NYPD on June 25 – but that didn’t stop a group of malicious hackers from taking control of his Twitter account nearly two months later. Etika was one of several large YouTubers targeted by hackers from August 23-24, including such personalities as Shane Dawson, makeup mogul James Charles, and Vine star King Bach. The hackers posted offensive messages to each account, making references to Nazi Germany, serial killers, and frequently using racial slurs – on top of posting a link to a private Discord channel and repeatedly using the hashtag “chuckling.” The person who hacked Etika’s account is deleting the tweets I think. Here they are just in case they did. pic.twitter.com/oM7NvLMcdq — FusionAnimations (@BFDIA_Master) August 24, 2019 While no source for the hacking has yet been verified, Etika’s Twitter account has since been suspended in wake of the attacks, with searches for his profile showing that the account “violated the Twitter rules” – and fans are voicing their displeasure with the platform over the decision. 600“First his YouTube, now his Twitter,” one user wrote of the issue. “Y’all finna need shit straighten out YouTube & Twitter.” However, others speculate if the deactivation wasn’t made at the behest of a family member, with Twitter providing options for deactivating accounts of deceased or incapacitated users. First his YT, now his Twitter. Y’all finna need shit straighten out YouTube & Twitter — Kronicle17 (@Kronicle17) August 31, 2019 Hey, the account could’ve very well been Suspended at the request of a family member, possibly his mother https://t.co/vFb1Ujtc3W — James (@Zeexe_l) August 31, 2019 Although no official reasoning for the suspension has yet been given, this development follows large-scale hacks across the platform, with even Twitter’s co-founder Jack Dorsey falling victim to the attacks on August 30. 400Like the previously-mentioned hacks, Dorsey’s account saw all manner of offensive posts from the very same group – and Twitter claims that the breach was brought about by a “security oversight” by his mobile provider. “The phone number associated with the account was compromised due to a security oversight by the mobile provider,” the platform explained. “This allowed an unauthorized person to compose and send tweets via text message from the phone number.” The phone number associated with the account was compromised due to a security oversight by the mobile provider. This allowed an unauthorized person to compose and send tweets via text message from the phone number. That issue is now resolved. — Twitter Comms (@TwitterComms) August 31, 2019 Twitter’s statement holds up with King Bach’s theory on the matter, who blamed an AT&T employee who had allegedly switched his SIM card for the hacking of his own account. While Etika’s Twitter is no longer available, a “Memories of Etika” Twitter account exists as a memorial to his celebrated life as a content creator, which has similarly pleaded with Twitter to restore his original profile in wake of the widespread hacks.

EU Parliament approve Article 13: The death of memes? The European Parliament has voted in favor of Article 13 and Article 11 on Tuesday, March 26, which is set to make major changes to copyright regulation online. Article 13 (now renamed to Article 17 since the vote) has been a point of major controversy, as opposition claim that it will seriously impede the use of the open internet. Creatives, particularly in the music industry, have been pushing for Article 13 though, in hopes of closing the ‘value-gap’ of revenue generated from platforms like YouTube, vs music streaming services like Apple Music or Spotify. The new regulations will require commercial sites and apps to obtain licenses for all copyrighted material uploaded by users, and put in place more stringent filters on what content can be uploaded in the first place. Despite attempts to make amendments to the bill, they were denied, and the proposals were approved by 348 votes to 274. YouTube itself was vocally against the proposal, and you can watch their official Q&A video for more details. Will Article 13 kill memes? There has been a lot said about the potential for internet ‘memes’ to be seriously affected by the new copyright regulation. However, ‘parody’ is an exemption, which should cover most memes and short viral video clips. That’s not the whole story though, as the creation of memes which use copyrighted material may be impeded, so ‘new’ memes may be produced at a much slower rate. It leaves serious concerns for many of the most popular websites on the internet, including the likes of YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Twitch and more. “The platforms need to have a responsibility and we want to give them that responsibility to deal responsibly with copyrighted content where the rights-holders are not those platforms” said Axel Voss, an MEP and proponent of Article 13. The proposals will not take immediate effect however, as member states of the EU will now have two years pass laws putting Article 13 into action online. The impacts of the European Parliament’s decision will be extensive, but just how much so remains to be seen.

Etika reveals why he wants to “purge all life” from Earth during KEEMSTAR interview Keemstar YouTubePopular YouTuber Daniel ‘Keemstar’ Keem brought on content creator Daniel ‘Etika’ Desmond Amofah onto Drama Alert to give his side of the viral incident that occurred on April 29. Audiences were shocked when Etika went off on a Twitter rant followed up with being detained by the NYPD, and the latest interview revealed his motives for doing so. In an April 30 video, Keemstar ran through the events of that day with Etika, who has since been released from being detained. In the interview it was revealed that Etika’s belief of him being the “Antichrist” fueled the startling scene in the New York streets. Why did Etika go off? Keemstar got right to brass tacks with the longtime content creator, when he asked Etika what the motive for his outburst was. And Etika simply proclaimed: “This is the return of the Antichrist.” The Drama Alert host was visibly baffled upon his answer, but further probed Etika about his motives. (Timestamp at 8:20 for mobile viewers) “I said to purge all life,” Etika said. “I’m going to bring you all to the best place possible. The party never ends, Keemstar.” In his livestream leading up to being detained, Etika repeatedly yelled “the revolution will not be televised,” and it seems like Keemstar revealed what revolution would exactly entail. “It’s me the Antichrist,” Etika said. “I’ve come to purge the planet of all human life. I will be dropping nuclear missiles very, very soon on every single human being… we’re about to get some fireworks real soon.” #Etika Part 2 of live stream! Comment your thoughts on this?? Does he need help :neutral_face: pic.twitter.com/7sTjCG5dUA — Nath :space_invader: (@decryptedn_yt) April 29, 2019 Is YouTube leading to mental health issues? In the lead up to his interview with Etika, Keemstar wondered if the platform could have been a cause for Etika’s “mental breakdown.” “So many of my YouTube friends have had mental breakdowns and went crazy,” Keemstar said. “I don’t know if we’re all crazy and that’s why we do YouTube or if YouTube is making us crazy.” The host compared the YouTuber controversies involving Etika’s viral breakdown and Adam ‘Netnobody’ Dahlberg’s episode that had a lot of eerie commonalities between the two. “A couple months ago, a good friend of mine Netnobody was saying a lot of the stuff that Etika has been saying,” Keemstar said. “And it was all private, he did a couple livestreams of his mental breakdown. And it all just seems so similar.” Fortunately, Keemstar said that Netnobody has since been doing well after getting the medication and help he needed. But still thought it was an important point to bring up. Keemstar’s interview was as stunning as it was revealing about Etika’s newfound ideologies about him being a god and his purpose on this Earth.

YouTuber Etika punches NYPD police officer in shocking altercation Etika, YouTube / FreepikPopular content creator and Smash Bros personality Desmond ‘Etika’ Amofah incited mass concern across social media after going on a racist Twitter tirade and getting detained by the NYPD – but now, Etika is tumbling with law enforcement for an entirely different reason. A video surfaced on Twitter (courtesy of esports consultant Rod Breslau) that showed Etika engaging in a physical confrontation with a police officer on May 1, throwing a punch to the officer that landed him square on the ground. The video was recorded among a throng of bystanders, which later showed the YouTuber being escorted away by a squad of officers while he yelled indistinguishably. According to a new video, Etika got into a physical altercation with police in New York today pic.twitter.com/4Y7xlbWrKE — Rod Breslau (@Slasher) May 1, 2019 Will Etika be arrested for assaulting a police officer? While no updates have been released via Etika’s social media accounts, ex-girlfriend and fellow streamer ‘Alice Pika’ claimed that he has not been arrested for the assault, but is instead being kept in a hospital’s mental ward for the time being. Etika may very well be in hot water for the altercation; according to New York Penal Code § 120.08, assault on a police officer is a Class C Felony with a maximum possible sentence of 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. Quick Etika update: A doctor just called me. He has NOT been arrested, he’s not going to jail. He’s at the mental ward of a hospital again, not saying where. I gave her as much information as I could that would make sure he STAYS in there for longer than a day!!! — :cherry_blossom: Alice :cherry_blossom: (@TheAlicePika) May 2, 2019 Etika’s past online controversies This wouldn’t be the first time Etika has brushed with New York’s law enforcement, either – in fact, the YouTuber was detained by police after an emotional Twitter outburst on April 29, recording the incident via an Instagram Live broadcast. Following the incident, Etika appeared on an episode of KEEMSTAR’s Drama Alert, where he explained the reason for his Twitter activity as being inspired by “the return of the Antichrist.” “I’ve come to purge the planet of all human life,” Etika said in a long-winded rant. “I will be dropping nuclear missiles very, very soon on every single human being. Death means nothing. Why are you all so scared of death for?” [Timestamp at 8:20 for mobile viewers] Etika’s now-deleted Tweets claimed that he was a “god,” including a photoshopped image of himself holding a pistol – even writing an anti-Semitic message that reportedly read “fuck the jews.” Etika went on a similar tirade in October 2018, posting pornographic content to his YouTube account in a conscious effort to get his channel deleted from the website.

Etika NFTs under fire for capitalizing on late YouTuber’s likeness An internet group called Antila is facing severe backlash after attempting to capitalize the late YouTuber Etika’s likeness. The internet is outraged over the new NFT project titled EtikaPunks. Desmond ‘Etika’ Amofah was a popular Nintendo YouTuber who was known for his outrageous reactions to Smash Bros. reveals and game announcements. His fans, known as the JoyCon Boys, would watch Nintendo Directs alongside him in anticipation of his excited outbursts. However, in June of 2019, the internet lost Etika to suicide after a long battle with mental health issues. Nearly three years later, the JoyCon Boys still share their favorite reactions and moments from Etika’s career. But the internet has, once again, found a way to tarnish the legacy of a late creator. Similar to how Stan Lee’s life work was turned into a “commemorative” NFT, so too has Etika been turned into a non-fungible token. EtikaPunk NFTs under fire The NFT project EtikaPunks was announced via Twitter on January 4, 2022. While the creators state that the project is meant “to commemorate Etika’s life,” the vast majority of replies have been negative. Users are calling the EtikaPunks “disgraceful,” “gross,” and “disgusting.” Other users are calling for the account and its tweets to be reported for using the likeness of a deceased creator without consent from the person’s family. One of the EtikaPunk NFTs pictures a crudely-drawn Amofah in front of a bridge. Users speculate that this is meant to represent the Manhattan Bridge which Etika was believed to have jumped from causing his death. Another NFT depicts Etika as a “simian species” while holding a banana. Many fans call these specific NFTs “racist” and “disrespectful.” What the actual fuck is wrong with you. https://t.co/G1FvJuAT3K — Mutahar (@OrdinaryGamers) January 5, 2022 Everyone in the replies, you know what to do pic.twitter.com/sRCWNVWeQD — TheNCSmaster (@TheNCSmaster) January 5, 2022 When visiting the EitkaPunks page on Rarible, the project expresses their project is not “officially affiliated with Etika or his family.” At the time of reporting, there are zero bids on any of the three NFTs currently for sale. For an example of how to properly commemorate the life of a creator, check out this Smash Bros mod that adds Etika as a playable character.

Etika placed in psychiatric ward following violent altercation with police officer Etika, YouTube / FreepikPopular content creator and Smash Bros personality Desmond ‘Etika’ Amofah shocked fans after exchanging blows with a New York police officer – and now, the debacle is getting even more intense. Etika’s ex-girlfriend and fellow streamer ‘Alice Pika’ updated fans with a Tweet shortly after the fight went viral, explaining that Etika had not been arrested or jailed for the offense, but was instead recovering in the psychiatric ward of a hospital. However, Alice’s update quickly turned sour after she uploaded a video claiming that Etika had managed to call her from his cellphone – explaining that their conversation became “dark.” Quick Etika update: A doctor just called me. He has NOT been arrested, he’s not going to jail. He’s at the mental ward of a hospital again, not saying where. I gave her as much information as I could that would make sure he STAYS in there for longer than a day!!! — :cherry_blossom: Alice :cherry_blossom: (@TheAlicePika) May 2, 2019 Etika’s concerning request “It got dark real quick, or it felt that way,” Alice stated, claiming that Etika had asked to take care of her cat for a few days. “My heart sank. He was like, ‘Why can’t I take care of Morgana, Magnolia?’” Alice herself claimed to be “at her wit’s end,” unsure if she were to expect Etika to show up at her door demanding her pet in another psychotic fit. Etika leaves today at 12, I don’t know why, and he just called asking for my cat for a few days. Course I said no. But he hung up. Now I might be expecting him at my door, in Coney Island. Like an hour away from the hospital. What do I do??? pic.twitter.com/lR07atkavj — :cherry_blossom: Alice :cherry_blossom: (@TheAlicePika) May 2, 2019 Despite her fears, Alice updated the situation with relieving news, writing that Etika’s doctor had called and stated that he would not be released “anytime soon” – despite Etika’s claims that he would be discharged at noon. The history of Etika’s Twitter tirades Etika’s hospitalization follows a string of concerning events across his social media, with the streamer going on a racist Twitter tirade on April 29, uploading a photoshopped image of himself holding a gun and claiming to be a “god” after writing an Anti-Semitic message. #Etika Part 2 of live stream!

Etika missing: Body found near Manhattan Bridge as search for YouTuber continues Instagram: EtikaUpdate, June 15, 1:15pm EST: NYPD have now confirmed that the body found was Etika, pronounced dead aged 29. The New York Police Department have confirmed that a body has been recovered from the East River in Manhattan, as the search for missing YouTuber Desmond ‘Etika’ Amofah continues. The NYPD stated that they had responded to an emergency call at 6:18pm on Monday, June 24, which reported that a body could be seen floating in the river.

In a statement released by the NYPD, the department wrote: “The medical examiner will determine the cause of death, and the investigation is ongoing. Identification of the deceased is pending proper family notification. The medical examiner will confirm identification.” It is expected that it may be a few days before there is any official word on the identity of the man. The discovery of the unidentified male comes as the search for Etika continues, with a bag alongside a number of his personal items such as cell phone, his New York state driver’s license, and his wallet which found scattered across the Manhattan Bridge. Inside the bag, police found his Nintendo Switch console, and items of clothing including a shirt, shorts, and a pair of underwear. The 29-year-old has been missing since Wednesday, June 19, with the YouTuber releasing a concerning video on his channel titled “I’m Sorry” in which he alluded to committing suicide. The video has since been removed for violating YouTube’s Terms of Service, and his Twitch account has also been taken down. His Twitter and Instagram accounts remain live, however there have been no updates posted to either social media channel since his disappearance. The New York Police Department are still investigating his disappearance.

Etika’s mother defends KEEMSTAR amid accusations he contributed to her son’s death Etika – YouTube / KEEMSTAR – TwitterThe mother of late YouTuber Desmond ‘Etikah’ Amofah has come to the defense of Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem, asking fans to stop blaming the online personality for her son’s recent death. The YouTube community was sent into a whirlwind of shock on June 25 when Etika was confirmed dead by the New York Police Department, following days of speculation that the popular YouTuber had taken his own life. In the time that’s passed since, DramaAlert host KEEMSTAR has faced a lot of backlash from fans, who have openly accused him of playing a part in Etika’s deteriorating mental health. Although Keem posted several tweets defending himself, saying that he and the late entertainer had been close friends, many still remain unconvinced and believe that he had faked emotion in those posts. On June 30, KEEMSTAR tweeted out again on the topic, this time including screenshots of a text conversation he had with Etika’s mother, at least that was the name of the contact shown in the images. In the conversation, the mother says that her response was to address the accusations, hoping to clear the tension between Keem and the late YouTuber’s fans. “I wish to inform Etika’s fans, friends, and viewers that KEEMSTAR is not responsible for Etika’s passing and should not be held accountable for my son’s actions,” she wrote. “Etika loved KEEMSTAR’s show and wanted to make his appearance on the program both memorable and exciting.” In order to prove that he hadn’t asked the grieving mother for such a message, KEEMSTAR included a second screenshot showing that she’d initiated the conversation. This isn’t the first time that Keem and Etika’s mother had been in contact. Shortly following the YouTuber’s untimely passing, Keem contacted the mother and agreed to raise money for mental health charities via his Friday Fortnite tournament, which took place on June 28. Additionally, he and FaZe Clan’s Banks also handed out 30 Nintendo Switch consoles to random viewers of the tournament, in memory of Etika. I talked to Etika’s mother. This is her & the family’s wishes. So for Friday Fortnite we will being doing this. pic.twitter.com/T51jtvuwVi — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) June 25, 2019 If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, or know anyone that is, and you would like to talk to someone, please reach out and call the Suicide Prevention Helpline 1-800-273-8255 (USA) or the Samaritans 116-123 (UK).

Etika fans angered as Twitter suspends his account again Twitter: @NorieLuxFans of deceased YouTube star Daniel Desmond ‘Etika’ Amofah are angered after his Twitter account was suspended for a second time. Etika was confirmed dead by the New York Police Department on June 24, 2019 following a five-day search after the popular YouTube star posted a video titled “I’m sorry” on June 19 – the contents of which heavily alluded to suicide. Then in August, two months after the 29-year-old passed away, a malicious hacker posted offensive messages to his Twitter account, prompting the company to suspend it temporarily. On February 14, it was taken offline a second time, and fans who used it to remember Etika aren’t happy about it at all. Upon noticing the suspension of the account, memorial page Etika Memories tweeted out in anguish, informing fans of the YouTuber about the unfortunate situation. “Etika’s Twitter account is currently suspended again,” it read, alongside a screenshot of the infamous “Account Suspended” page that’s seen when visiting a banned user. It continued: “All of us are hoping that they can establish a better solution to keep his account on this website since many people still want to visit his page.” Etika’s Twitter account is currently suspended again. All we can do is inform @Twitter and @TwitterSupport.

It holds much sentimental value to many people. Please allow his account to remain active on the platform,” the Pichu main said. Etika was well known in the fighting game community largely due to his popular Smash YouTube videos and over-the-top reactions. @TwitterSupport @Twitter @verified please restore his account.

Etika honored at Super Smash Con with touching tribute YouTube/Super Smash ConOn Saturday, August 10, Super Smash Con, paid tribute to YouTube sensation Daniel Desmond ‘Etika’ Amofah who passed away earlier in 2019. The tribute happened during the Smashies Award Show, where members within the Smash community are honored with Etika’s reactions being singled out. “We definitely did our best to try to help each other… help elevate each other and that’s what I loved most about Etika,” D’Ron ‘D1’ Maingrette said during a video package intertwined with numerous clips of Etika’s reactions to Smash-related events. (Timestamp 1:52 for mobile users) Austin ‘Austy’ Nolte echoed D1’s statements saying “he was just so uplifting. He always wanted to elevate you… There’s so many people that would, commentators alone, I can list five off the top of my head that have been heavily influenced by Etika. And would not be progressing towards where we are today without his guidance.” Read More: Richard Lewis: How the Internet failed Etika – “Whenever he signs off on his broadcasts… whenever he tells people to ‘have a damn good one’, I think that’s basically the spirit of Etika right there. Always wanting other people to have a good time,” D1 continued. The tribute video ended with a touching In Memoriam photo with D1 and Austy taking the stage to make some comments about their late friend. Read More: Super Smash Con final results and placements – “The dude was just so much happiness around this man,” Austy said after a brief discussion about mental health and stigmas behind it. “If you were just around him, it was just so infectious. You couldn’t help but smile when you were around him and for that we’ll all severely miss him.” (Timestamp 6:40 for mobile users) 600Eventually, a very emotional D1 took the stage and presented some poetry in honor of his friend. “I solemnly swear to offer this prayer in the name of our long lost frère… frère is French for brother,” D1 explained. “I just wanted to rhyme.” “But is no longer here. He had amazing hair, beyond compare His enthusiasm for anything was worth a share. Far from a square, with public speaking he had a flair. With one glance, easily the personification of debonair. Fully capable of being a millionaire, but life is unfair. Now that we’re all here, let’s put a fist in the air,” the rhyme went on, concluding with a teary-eyed D1 asked that those in the audience say “Joycon Boys” in unison. I was in shambles on stage, dried up tears on my face and everything. We miss you @Etika RIP my Brooklyn brother. It was an honor to accept the award in your name.#JOYCONBOYZ https://t.co/DuYrZHrTRJ — D1 (@xD1x) August 12, 2019 The tribute itself was very touching and emotional for those close to the popular content creator. D1 would later admit on Twitter that, “I was in shambles on stage, dried up tears on my face and everything.” “It was an honor to accept the award in your name.” Etika went missing on June 19 where it was suspected he jumped from the Manhattan Bridge. He had a history of mental health issues and had posted suicidal messages to social media.

Ethan Klein shocked to learn he’s being sued by Triller over Jake Paul fight YouTube: h3h3ProductionsEthan Klein was shocked to learn Triller had sued him for allegedly re-broadcasting the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren fight on his podcast, a claim which he refuted in a deleted Tweet. The fight between Ben Askren and Jake Paul was a resounding success. Millions of fans tuned in to watch Jake win via knockout in the first round, and naturally, that means the payday for the fighters was huge. However, Triller, the company behind the event, announced they’re pursuing a $100 million lawsuit against several YouTubers and other websites for illegally re-broadcasting the fight. They claim there were more than 2 million illegal streams, including one that apparently took place on Ethan Klein’s H3 Podcast website. “The fines are calculated at $150,000 per instance, so for H3 and other sites who rebroadcast the event to many people, the (potential) damages are large,” said a representative from the company during an exclusive interview with Reuters. But apparently, it’s news to Ethan, who seemed oblivious to their claims and maintained his innocence. “Apparently, I’m being sued by Triller? News to me, especially considering I did not rebroadcast it or pirate it,” he said, in a Tweet that has since been removed. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1389417828961329156?s=20 It’s a little odd that Ethan decided to remove the tweet. However, he hasn’t commented on it since and probably won’t until he seeks further legal counsel. Fans think it has something to do with the fact he mentioned watching a pirated stream, although he didn’t actually re-broadcast it.

Ethan Klein under fire for comments made toward Dad during Creator Clash feud YouTube: Dad, H3 PodcastYouTuber Ethan Klein is taking some heat for comments he allegedly made toward fellow creator Nathan ‘Dad’ Barnatt ahead of his bout with AB at Creator Clash 2. This year’s Creator Clash was well-received by fans and influencers, marking the event’s second iteration in a bigger arena with more fights between some of the internet’s top entertainers. Although the reception of the charity-driven, influencer boxing showdown was overwhelmingly positive, it seems that some drama has cropped up between two of its fighters in the aftermath. Out of the 12 bouts on the card that night, the fight between Nathan Barnatt (aka ‘Dad Bot’) and AB ‘Starkilla’ is attracting quite a bit of attention on the net nearly a month out from the event. Although AB proved to be a far greater challenge than SuperMega’s Matt Watson from Creator Clash 1, Dad came out on top once again, winning the match by forfeit after damaging one of his opponent’s ribs in the first round. Dad hits out at Ethan Klein and AB after Creator Clash 2 victory Although both parties spoke highly of each other after their bout, Dad later hit out at AB and the crew at H3H3, where AB also works and creates content. According to Dad, H3H3’s Ethan Klein was being “really, unnecessarily mean” to him during the lead-up to their bout. Dad also made a few comments about AB’s boxing, saying the influencer failed to train properly and instead focused on streaming — in the end, accruing more viewership than him and “winning” the streaming game over their boxing match. “It’s also the way the H3 crew reacted [to the fight],” Dad said. “They were incredibly mean to me for no reason. Even after the fight, when I was saying nice things about them, they were just ignorantly rude and horrible, just because I won.” Dad notably called Ethan Klein “an actual, crappy person” and said the H3 boss was “really, unnecessarily mean” to him. Although the stream where Dad made these comments has since been deleted, a VOD was captured and shared via YouTuber ‘Bowblax,’ which you can view below. Klein responded to Dad’s comments in an episode of the H3 Podcast afterward, where he and the crew denied accusations of being rude toward the YouTuber and explained their confusion around a ‘bit’ between them that appeared to turn sour due to communication problems. AB also expressed confusion around the ordeal, saying he’d trained hard while also maintaining a rigorous streaming schedule on top of his full-time job with H3. He claimed he’d communicated with Dad via DMs, where Dad admitted “it came from a place of him being upset that he trained so hard and I didn’t.” On April 26, Dad published a now-deleted tweet where he publicly apologized to AB for his comments about his opponent’s boxing performance. “I talked to AB and apologized for talking about his training,” he wrote. “Never intended to be rude or hurt his feelings.” “It’s been real hard for me dealing with some interactions and things being said about me throughout this experience. Hurtful, real life comments. I have to speak up and defend myself a little. That being said, none of that has to do with AB, and I’m sorry to him.” The next day, Dad uploaded a video simply titled ‘H3,’ where he elaborated further on the situation between himself and Ethan Klein. In the video, he claims that Klein made a comment about his late partner, Siobhan Price, who was a writer and producer for several shows on Adult Swim. “He’s saying stuff like, ‘Dad has dead girlfriend energy,’ referencing Siobhan, my girlfriend who did pass away,” he explained, before nearly breaking down into tears. “I was like, this is the joke? You’re saying I have dead girlfriend energy, and you just kept saying it. The way he said it was like, he kept throwing it out there. It was very casual, the way he was saying it.” These comments seemingly took place during Ethan Klein’s podcast episode with music influencer Anthony Fantano three months prior. “He came on our show to promote his fight against Matt [Watson], and he was just like, ‘My life is a tragedy, I’m fighting for my dead girlfriend,’” Klein said during the podcast. “Nobody wants a ‘dead girlfriend’ punch,” Fantano responded. “I would pity anyone who gets in the ring with him,” Ethan replied. (Topic begins at 1:11:00) According to claims from commenters, there were other remarks made by Ethan about Barnatt’s partner, but users presume they may have possibly been cut out of the podcast episode at the time of writing, or were made during another video. Ethan Klein faces backlash for alleged comments about Dad’s late partner Thus far, netizens have expressed a deep disdain for Klein. Many are calling out the H3 boss for his comments on the loss of Dad’s loved one, sharing their sentiments underneath Bowblax’s video compiling the drama. “The dead girlfriend thing is really incredibly demeaning,” one user wrote in a YouTube comment. “Using her death like a joke is like pretending she was never a person, it’s disturbing.” “Ethan made fun of his dead girlfriend? Like, his REAL dead girlfriend? That is really f*cked up, dude,” another said. “That makes me sick!” another exclaimed. “To make fun of his girlfriend when anyone that knows about Nathan Barnett knows that’s such a horrible trauma for him! Legit made me want to cry!” It’s clear that netizens are supportive of Dad during this ongoing feud, offering their thoughts and kind words in comments underneath his recent videos. Thus far, neither Dad nor Ethan Klein / the H3 crew have yet to make further comments about the situation. We’ll keep you updated on the ordeal right here at Dexerto.

Ethan Klein’s mom slams Trisha Paytas & Gabbie Hanna for constantly being toxic H3H3 ProductionsIn Ethan Klein’s new podcast, Families, Ethan’s mother Donna has a hot take on Trisha Paytas and Gabbie Hanna. Ethan Klein is co-hosting a new show with his parents titled Families, and his mom has kicked it off with some spicy opinions on Trisha Paytas and Gabbie Hanna. In the show’s second episode, which is appropriately titled “Trisha Paytas and Gabbie Hanna Explained By My Mom”, Donna Klein has done her research on the whole situation and is ready to dish her opinion on the matter. Donna suggests that Trisha and Gabbie, despite their dislike for each other, are actually quite similar and that they’re “just two peas in a pod.” When Ethan asks his mom how the two are the same, she says “Drama, lies, fabrications. Just causing problems. Setting people up, basically, to make their lives miserable.” Topic starts at 7:08 Ethan’s dad, Gary, goes on to explain from off-camera that Gabbie is worse in his view because of her spreading a rumor about Trisha in the past. Gary added some well-needed context as while they both do profit from creating drama on YouTube, they certainly do it in two different ways. Frenemies No More Fans of Ethan and Trisha’s previous podcast, Frenemies, will know that Trisha will not take this opinion easily. Trisha spent much of that podcast belaboring their dislike for Gabbie, making this opinion by Donna possibly the harshest burn of the year. Trisha has had multiple public disputes with Gabbie, and the two are obviously not fans of each other. In fact, the final episode of the Frenemies podcast is titled “Talking about Gabbie Hanna”. Knowing Trisha, it is possible they make a half-an-hour video in response to this claim.

Ethan Klein slams “simp” Jidion after Pokimane hate raid drama YouTube: Ethan Klein / Twitch: Pokimane / JidionEthan Klein slammed Jidion for launching a hate raid towards Pokimane that ultimately got him permanently banned on Twitch, calling him a “simp” and telling him to “grow up.” The man behind H3H3 Productions also crticized Ninja for his involvement. On January 13, Pokimane was forced to end her stream after it was raided by Jidion fans who flooded the chat with hateful comments. Jidion orchestrated the whole thing, which got him permanently banned on the platform. His appeal was also rejected. Jidion apologized and admitted that what he did was wrong. He also claimed that the reason why he dislikes her has nothing to do with her gender. Instead, it’s because he simply doesn’t like her as a person. However, Ethan is convinced that he’s not telling the truth. He believes Jidion is a “simp” and is doing everything he can to get her attention. He likened him to a young boy picking on a girl to get her attention and called him “pathetic.” “You know what’s funny? The real simp is him,” said Ethan. “He’s like the five-year-old who’s got a crush on a girl who flicks her ear so she notices him. I mean, dude, if anyone’s trying to actually get her attention, it’s you. It’s pathetic.” He believes it’s also a part of a much bigger problem. “In the eyes of all these incels, the only reason people are watching her is because she’s hot, and they think that they have a chance with her. That is misogyny.” Then, he turned his attention back to Jidion. “You think that’s the only reason she could be successful? In truth, you want a chance with her. You want her attention. That’s why you’re doing this. It’s pathetic. You’re the simp. Can’t you see that? Grow up.” Ethan also took a swipe at Ninja for his involvement in the drama. “Is Ninja even relevant? He should have erased his channel and walked off into the sunset. Ninja’s influence has clearly waned, as evidenced by the fact that his plea for help resulted in his friend getting permanently banned.” Ethan isn’t the only person to make such claims about him. Andrew Schulz also thinks that Jidion and Ninja are “jealous” of Pokimane. Pokimane has been outspoken about the situation, too. In response to people telling her to move on, she said: “I’ll move on once I stop receiving thousands of hate messages daily! You move on first, you freaking weirdos!”

Ethan Klein slams Twitch bans over “cracker” controversy after Hasan suspension Ethan Klein/HasanYouTube star Ethan Klein has criticized Twitch’s decision to ban Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker, as well as two other streamers, for their use of the word “cracker” on stream. Hasan and two other streamers were banned from Twitch on December 13 allegedly for their use of the word “cracker” on stream. Since then other streamers, like Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, have chimed in on the controversy offering a defense of Twitch saying the use of the word was “trashy.” Now, H3H3’s Ethan Klein has offered a defense of the exiled Twitch star and a critique of how the platform has handled the situation. H3H3 backs Hasan during Twitch ban Ethan Klein shared his thoughts on the ban in a tweet on December 14. He said, “Nobody was offended when I did white face because it’s a stupid joke with no real consequences & no history of oppression.” Ethan included a picture of him in “white face” in the tweet, which comes from a video of his back in 2016 which was titled, “MTV Hates White Guys.” The YouTuber added, “Twitch banning “cracker” is giving oxygen to white identity politics & putting white grievances on equal footing with actual oppressed people.” Nobody was offended when I did white face because it’s a stupid joke with no real consequences & no history of oppression. Twitch banning “cracker” is giving oxygen to white identity politics & putting white grievances on equal footing with actual oppressed people. pic.twitter.com/L1x6hCY3L5 — Ethan Klein (@h3h3productions) December 15, 2021 Ethan worries that Twitch banning its streamers over the use of “cracker” puts the word a pedestal typically held for much harsher phrases. Hasan and Ethan have become quite close since the two launched their podcast “Leftovers” together in September 2021, and the duo will surely discuss Hasan’s ban in the next installment of the show.

Ethan Klein slams Austin McBroom boxing event as “financial disaster” Ethan Klein of the H3 Podcast weighed in on the Austin McBroom vs AnEsonGib boxing event, roasting the size of the crowd and claiming the show had to be a financial disaster. The Austin McBroom vs AnEsonGib fight headlined the second Social Gloves event run by McBroom. However, the first Social Gloves event didn’t generate enough revenue to pay all of the fighters and investors. But since then, Influencer Boxing events have skyrocketed in popularity with hundreds of thousands of fans flooding arenas and online streaming services to watch the likes of KSI and Jake Paul put a beat down on their opponents. Influencer Boxing matches are also a way for creators to work out their beef with one another. And ahead of the McBroom vs Gib fight, plenty of drama had been brewed to help build hype for the battles… but Ethan Klein from the H3 Podcast isn’t convinced that was enough to stop Social Gloves history from repeating itself. Ethan Klein weighs in on “empty” Social Gloves 2 event During the 48th episode of the H3 Podcast: Off The Rails, Ethan Klein and his crew discussed the outcome of the Social Gloves: No More Talk event. Mainly, they focused on how “empty” the venue was according to social media posts and the satisfying outcome of the McBroom vs Gib fight. According to sources at the venue, only 200 tickets were sold and 1,000 were given away for Social Gloves 2. And the video and image shown on the H3 Podcast reflected this information. “This is a 20,000-seat arena. It’s empty, bro,” Ethan stated while watching a recording from a spectator. “There’s nobody there. I’m sure this was a financial disaster, right?” Dan Swerdlove concurred stating that “it had to be” a financial setback for Triller, the company behind Social Gloves 2 as well as several other influencers and professional boxing events. They then switched gears to talk about the outcome of the McBroom vs Gib fight. “[McBroom] got absolutely dominated… I mean, absolutely destroyed.” While McBroom did knock down Gib in round one, Gib would come back to knock down McBroom five times with him failing to pick himself up off the mat after the fifth. Klein speculated, “Austin looked horrible. I think Austin beat Bryce Hall and thought he was the sh*t, and I don’t think he prepared much for this fight.”

Ethan Klein slams “moron” xQc for criticizing FaZe signing Grace Van Dien H3 Podcast, Grace Van Dien, xQcEthan Klein of the H3H3 podcast called Twitch star xQc a “moron” for criticizing FaZe Clan after adding Stranger Things actress Grace Van Dien to their ranks last month. Grace Van Dien’s induction into FaZe Clan last month caused quite a stir, especially among the esport and entertainment org’s senior members. Chief among these was FaZe Rain, who made no bones about his distaste for FaZe’s recent business decisions after going public on the stock market. He turned his ire with the group on Grace, resulting in a viral feud between the two stars that has left her status with FaZe up in the air. Other influencers have also commented on the ongoing situation, including the likes of Twitch streamers Asmongold and Disguised Toast, who staunchly stood up for Van Dien while she received death threats as a result of the drama surrounding her addition to FaZe. However, not every streamer was on her side. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, one of Twitch’s most-subscribed broadcasters, notably criticized FaZe’s statement that the group wanted “more women” in their ranks. “People need to stop doing this ‘we need more women in esports’,” he said during a live stream. “Bro, if people paid attention, there’s a bunch of deserving women that can get picked up, because they deserve it.” Nearly a week later, Ethan Klein of the H3 Podcast had some harsh words for xQc due to his take on the FaZe situation, calling the streamer a “moron” for not keeping that same energy when FaZe signed famous rapper Snoop Dogg to its board of directors back in 2022. “He’s such a f*cking idiot,” Klein said. “Where was your outrage when Snoop Dogg got signed to FaZe? Was Snoop Dogg a pro gamer? Oh no, he’s a f*ckin’ guy, so you don’t care.” “Here’s the truth: There’s like, zero women in FaZe,” Klein continued. “And diversity has proven time and time again that diversity of background, identity, [and] gender breeds creativity and propels ideas forward. If it’s just a bunch of 20-year-old, basement-dwelling misogynist freakazoids, then guess what? You’re gonna have a company that’s worth 10 cents on the stock market.” “You gotta have more than just dudes. Even if you think she’s not that cool, or even, God forbid, you think she’s just mid. I get it. ‘We don’t wanna see or work with women who aren’t ten outta tens,’” he said sarcastically. xQc has yet to levy a public response to Klein’s latest comments, which come on the heels of another major development in the Rain vs Grace feud after the FaZe ‘OG’ leaked his private Discord messages with the actress prior to their viral video last month.

Ethan Klein reveals surprising reason YouTube removed Papa John’s video H3 Podcast, YouTubeH3H3 comedy duo member and YouTuber Ethan Klein was shocked after his podcast interview with Papa John’s founder John Schnatter was scrubbed from the site — but now, he’s discovered a potential explanation for the issue. Following Schnatter’s viral “day of reckoning” fiasco, where the mogul claimed to have eaten 40 pizzas in 30 days and argued that the chain had lost its verve, Klein decided to invite him onto the H3H3 podcast as a means to pick his brain about the debacle. Despite the video’s quick rise on YouTube’s trending page, it suddenly went missing from the list, which Klein announced in a Tweet shortly thereafter. According to the content creator, YouTube had demonetized the interview and even removed it from their trending page, with no explanation given as to why the company had taken such a drastic action. However, a subsequent Tweet reveals a surprising development in this story: apparently, YouTube’s automated closed captions coded some of Schnatter’s speech as a racial slur, as evidenced by a screenshot of the video. “Looks like the reason YouTube demonetized and removed the video from trending is this,” Klein wrote. “And let me be clear… HE DID NOT SAY THAT. You’d think there would be more systems in place before taking down a two hour podcast.” Although Klein clearly called out the platform for their unexpected response to the slip-up, he went on to find humor in the situation, writing, “Can we please appreciate the irony of YouTube accusing Papa of using the N word?! This has never happened on any of our other 180 episodes!” Can we please appreciate the irony of YouTube accusing Papa of using the N word?! This has never happened on any of our other 180 episodes! — Ethan Klein (@h3h3productions) February 11, 2020 This debacle certainly does come with a touch of irony, considering that Schnatter was expunged as Papa John’s chairman in 2018 after leaked audio from a conference exposed the founder for saying a racial slur. https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1227377116817154048?s=20 Although this is most definitely not the case with Klein’s interview, it seems that the “day of reckoning” has struck, once again — and although YouTube has since fixed the issue, Klein feels it’s a problem that the site should consider “how dangerous this can be for a creator’s wellbeing and livelihood.”

Ethan Klein slams ACE Family Fest as the next ‘Fyre Festival’ Ethan Klein/Austin McBroomYouTuber and podcaster Ethan Klein hit out at the ACE Family’s upcoming live event ‘ACE Family Fest’ after allegations they lied about ticket sales. The ACE Family, the YouTube star family led by couple Austin McBroom and Catherine Paiz, announced they are hosting a massive live event on July 9 called the ACE Family Fest. The Family Fest instantly drew in scrutiny, as an internet sleuth uncovered that McBroom and Paiz may have fibbed about the event being sold out. Now, a long-time critic of the ACE Family, Ethan Klein, has bashed the event and said it might be destined for failure – if it actually happens at all. Ethan Klein roasts ACE Family Fest Klein spent a portion of the H3 podcast talking about the upcoming Family Fest and even revealed he and his co-hosts bought tickets to attend the event. Ethan and his crew did the math on how many tickets they’ve sold and don’t believe the event can actually go down with the money they’ve brought in. “You cannot put this festival on for $200,000. You can’t do it. I mean, they could try, and it would just be f**king horrible,” Ethan said. Dan, Ethan’s producer and co-host, said “Like, Fyre Festival status, and dangerous.” Ethan agreed with the comparison, “Yeah, it would be like Fyre Festival. It would be.” Time starts 21:17 Despite believing it will be a disaster, Ethan is still hyped for the event: “I’m excited to see what happens, because you know Austin and his wife Catherine are like, ‘Dude, we can’t do ANY scams!’ Because people are on their s**t.” As of now, it’s unclear if Ethan and his producers will be allowed into the event if they show up, assuming the ACE Family Fest goes down as planned.

Ethan Klein reveals Andrew Tate sent him a cease and desist letter YouTube: Full Send Podcast / Instagram: h3h3productionsEthan Klein has just announced online that Andrew Tate reportedly sent him a cease and desist letter and has requested Klein stop talking about him during his content. With Andrew Tate now banned from all social media, many other content creators and influencers have been discussing the situation as well as voicing their thoughts and opinions on Tate and some of the controversial things he has said in the past. One of the most outspoken voices in this mix has been YouTuber and content creator Ethan Klein. Following a recent podcast, it appears Tate has tried to stop any further coverage about him being spread on H3. On Twitter, Ethan Klein addressed a tweet to the “free speech champions that defended Andrew Tate.” He then went on in the tweet to reveal that he “just got a cease and desist letter from… Andrew Tate! He demands I stop talking about him.” Klein then asked for people’s thoughts on this move from Tate. Fans of Tate are defending the move, calling out Klein and others who have been talking about the influencer as breaching defamation laws and rules given that he is unable to defend himself online anymore. Some are defending Klein and highlighting that almost every influencer has been speaking out about Andrew Tate. Others are even questioning if Klein did in fact receive a letter and that he might have simply made this up as a way to further fuel hatred towards Tate. However, Klein was quick to put those theories to bed. To follow up on his earlier tweet, Klein posted a quick instagram video showing the email he received about the cease and desist in question. In the instagram video, he explains how he “received an email today from Andrew’s attorney.” The email is then shown in the background of the video, with Klein confirming that it is asking him to “cease and desist talking about him.” He then calls out Tate for his hypocrisy, questioning “what about my free speech Andrew?” Klein – who is clearly unfazed by this development in the video – implies that he will not stop talking about Tate who he then describes as a “womanizer, misogynistic loser of a man.”

Ethan Klein reveals “crazy” 7-month weight loss results H3H3H3H3’s Ethan Klein showed off his nearly year-long weight loss journey where he’s dropped over 30 pounds. Ethan Klein has been incredibly vocal about his weight loss journey recently. Over the last few years, Klein has been on an anti-depressant medication that has reshaped his mental health, but it has had the side effect of gaining weight over the same time frame. After committing to a new diet and exercise plan, Klein has shown off how he lost 30 pounds and hit a two-year weight low. Ethan Klein shows before and after weight loss photos The 37-year-old California native showed off before and after pictures spanning the course of seven months in total. Klein showed off a picture of him when he interviewed fellow YouTubers iDubbz back in May 2022. Since then, Ethan has dropped 30 pounds in total. “So the shirts are less tight, obviously, and things are fitting nicer. I’m just feeling encouraged and happy to see that I’m finally making progress. For the longest time, it felt like progress was impossible.” Klein attributed his weight loss to cutting out binge eating, eating less overall. and exercising on the treadmill every single day. He also said that watching anime while using the treadmill helps him get through the exercise, especially on the days when he doesn’t feel like walking. Although he didn’t see progress for quite some time, his hard work and dedication are finally paying off. The H3 Podcast host also said that his weight loss goal is to be under 200 pounds, a weight he will easily achieve if he continues his current trend.

Ethan Klein reveals agency that allegedly stole $600k has paid him back YouTube: H3 PodcastH3H3’s Ethan Klein has finally been paid back after BBTV, an agency he signed with, allegedly stole $600,000 from him over the course of several years. Ethan Klein is a prominent content creator who has been through the legal wringer several times over the course of his career on YouTube. In 2017, he and wife Hila Klein underwent a highly-publicized battle over copyright infringement, in which they ultimately came out on top. Years later, the couple faced a lawsuit from Triller after showing footage from Jake Paul’s boxing match against Ben Askren on a podcast episode — a battle they also ended up winning. Now, yet another major victory has happened for Ethan and the H3H3 crew after an MCN he used purportedly stole over half a million dollars from him over the course of several years. On April 8, Klein uploaded a video claiming that BBTV, a management company he’d signed with, had purportedly stolen $620,000 from him… and he was worried he wouldn’t get paid back. “My fear is that they don’t have the money and that these guys are on the verge of declaring bankruptcy,” he expressed in the video. “I’ve been reading over the contract and my remedies are not that much. I could unlink immediately without giving a 30-day notice if I was afraid that they were going to go bankrupt.” He even claimed that, as punishment for terminating his contract with the agency, he’d likely have to pay back his $10,000 signing bonus — something he was happy to do if it came down to it. Ethan Klein announces major win in BBTV money scandal Luckily, it doesn’t look like this is the case. According to an April 13 tweet from Klein, BBTV has paid him back. “BBTV has paid us back, money secured and in the bank,” Klein wrote. Fans were quick to congratulate Klein on his victory, marking a positive ending to this otherwise hand-wringing saga of BBTV’s purported money mismanagement.

Ethan Klein removes Frenemies episode with unproven claims made by Trisha Paytas YouTube: H3 PodcastNot long after an episode of Frenemies disappeared from YouTube and other sites, H3H3’s Ethan Klein explained why comments from Trisha Peytas made him feel “obligated” to take the video down. Trisha Paytas and Klein ended their “Frenemies” podcast earlier in 2021 and kicked off a firestorm of drama in the process. Now, Ethan has scrubbed a previous episode of the podcast from listings, until Paytas can, as he put it on Twitter, “better illuminate the situation. “It has come to my attention that Trisha, in episode #17 of frenemies, called out a teacher by name and accused him of molesting her during school,” Klein wrote on Twitter. “She claimed the teacher was arrested and served time for possession of c***d p********y.” Some of the claims Paytas made in the episode, according to Ethan, didn’t match up with the facts available. “She also claimed that someone else had come forward to say he molested them as well.” He added. “Upon further review, these claims seem to contradict available evidence.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1436521321576292355 “Because of the nature of these claims, and the stress it’s causing to his family, I have decided to unlist the episode for now until Trisha can better illuminate the situation,” he added. While Klein did remove the episode, he said on Twitter that doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t believe his former cohost. “I want to emphasize that I do not believe Trisha would lie about something like this, so I want to give her the opportunity to clarify,” Ethan ended his Twitter statement with. “But in the meantime, because the teacher has passed on and cannot defend himself, I feel obligated to remove it for now.” At the time of writing Paytas has yet to respond to the episode being removed.

Ethan Klein of H3H3 announces return to YouTube after 3 month break caused by depression and anxiety YouTube/h3h3productionsH3H3 Productions’ Ethan Klein returned to YouTube on September 16 after a three month break, describing his battle with depression, anxiety and partner Hila losing her father to cancer. The pair last uploaded in June, before making a return a week ago with a video promoting their new mobile game, H3H3 Ball Rider. The video received a lot of negative feedback from fans, who felt H3H3 had given up on YouTube and instead were cashing out. Klein posted on Twitter to respond to some of the backlash, explaining that it had been in the works for over a year, and although it wasn’t the best timing, he wasn’t going to put it off. Ninja reveals he constantly worries about falling off the top spot In their return video, he starts by referring to the mobile game video, saying “It’s me and Hila here, not in a video game ad, but in a real video,” before going on to explain their YouTube hiatus. “The past three months, and specifically the last year, has probably been the hardest of our lives. It’s just been a string of really difficult to handle events, that I think really just took a toll on us. […] I have just accepted that I am actually depressed. Confronting that was hard, because I always felt like it was a weakness.” Klein also revealed that Hila’s father had passed away after losing a fight with cancer, and so the two were apart as Hila went to Israel to visit family. Ethan reitarates that the launch of the video game was badly timed, and that perhaps they should have uploaded an update video before they uploaded the advert for the game. Both Ethan and Hila hope to get back to their regular content soon, and aim to remind people why they enjoyed watching them before. Throughout their time away from regular uploads, the H3H3 podcast continued and has now grown so much that some people only recognize them from the podcast itself, Ethan explains. Before the video ends, Ethan says they hope to have a new video up next week.

Ethan Klein reacts to Triller founder accusing him of harassment with fake accounts YouTube: H3 PodcastH3H3’s Ethan Klein is in yet another tiff with Triller — this time, with the company’s founder, who’s accusing him of harassment using a litany of purported fake troll accounts across social media. Ethan Klein and Triller go way back — well, at least a few months back. The YouTuber’s first run-in with the company, a social media networking service behind Jake’s bout with Askren, began after Klein featured a clip of the fight during his podcast earlier this year. Triller then informed Klein, alongside anyone else who had shared footage of the match “illegally,” that they’d be pursuing a $100 million lawsuit against them… which, according to Triller, numbered around two million pirated streams. Klein was shocked at the news, claiming that he “did not rebroadcast it or pirate” the fight in a now-deleted tweet. He appeared to laugh off Triller’s legal threats, arguing that he’d used a 45-second clip from the bout, which he stated was fair-use five days after the event. Triller’s Ryan Kavanaugh accuses Ethan Klein of using troll accounts to harass him That’s not all… Triller ended up re-filing their lawsuit against Klein a short while later, accusing him of attempting to “defame” the company on his podcast. Now, a couple of months after the fact, Triller founder Ryan Kavanaugh is bringing up the issue once again. This time, accusing Klein of creating multiple anonymous troll accounts to harass him on social media. The drama went down on Instagram, where Kavanaugh responded to a particularly troll-ish comment that said he looked like he was “battling multiple skin conditions.” “Why are you using a fake account, Ethan?” Kavanaugh replied. “Anyone can see it’s a troll account. Really quite desperate.” Ethan Klein laughs off Kavanaugh’s harassment claims It seems that Klein is taking the accusations in stride, mocking Kavanaugh’s retort in a tweet that read: “Ryan Kavanaugh slandering Ethan in comments” with an angry face emoji. Ryan Kavanaugh slandering Ethan in comments 😡😤 pic.twitter.com/tZiMFbtrbO — The H3 Show (@theh3podcast) September 20, 2021 “Impossible,” Klein added. “I was playing Final Fantasy XIV at the time.” Whatever the case may be regarding this ongoing legal catfight, it doesn’t look like Klein is letting himself be intimidated, and is happy to throw back any accusations sent his way. Reaching level 80 in FFXIV is a time-consuming task, after all.

Ethan Klein mocks Trisha Paytas with ridiculous “apology” video Trisha Paytas InstagramYouTube star Trisha Paytas sparked outrage across the net after coming out as a transgender man in early October – but another internet celeb is taking the backlash to another level. H3H3’s Ethan Klein mocked Paytas’ announcement video during an episode of the “H3 Podcast” in wake of the outrage, calling her “crazy” and “f***ing insane.” Paytas was obviously displeased with his comments on the subject, hitting back at the YouTuber by posting a slew of sensitive photos to Twitter shortly thereafter – and even a full-length video discussing the topic, claiming that Klein was “worse than Donald Trump.” With this drama in mind, Klein set out to finally “settle” their beef – but his “apology” was anything but genuine. Rather than speaking from the heart, Klein continued his mockery of the divisive internet star, dressing up in a blonde wig and makeup and even sitting on his kitchen floor in a ridiculous imitation of Paytas’ signature videos. “I wanted to basically apologize to Trisha Paytas, who is such a sweet, genuine person,” Klein claimed, giving his voice a note of vocal fry to match Paytas’ own voice. “…I’m sorry for saying that you’re not trans, even though you have F cup jugs that are always on display.” Ethan’s wife, Hila Klein, then wondered if Paytas would ever make an appearance on their podcast as a means of ending their feud – although it doesn’t look like this meeting will ever happen, with Trisha asking for “$18 million dollars” when prompted about the possibility on Twitter. Although Paytas has yet to respond to Klein’s fake “apology” video, the star claimed that she does have “regrets” about her announcement, admitting that she wasn’t pleased with how she handled the video in an interview with TMZ. “I regret the way I explained myself,” Paytas revealed. “I don’t regret talking about it. …I’m not a spokesperson for the trasngender community, you know what I mean? I just know I’ve always been trasngender, so I just talked about it.” With Paytas and Klein having a history of beef, his “apology” marks the latest jab at the YouTuber, with fans and critics alike awaiting her reply to the drama.

Ethan Klein mocks Twitch hot tub streams with hilarious take on current ‘meta’ TikTok/ethankleinh3H3 Podcast host Ethan Klein hilariously mocked Twitch’s current hot tub meta, but defended the streamers, calling them entrepreneurs. For the past few months, hot tub streams have taken over Twitch, with many of the platform’s biggest stars partaking and seeing substantial growth, including Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa, Indiefoxx and xoAeriel – just to name a few. However, the success has not come without controversy, as many view the broadcasts as being too sexual for Twitch and wish to see the content removed from the site. In any case, the hot tub meta has resulted in many streamers mocking the new phenomenon like JakeNBake, QTCinderella and now, H3’s Ethan Klein. https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1388209664408494082 In a TikTok video uploaded to advertise the latest episode of H3 After Dark, Klein showed up in a pink bikini while flopping around in a hot tub. “Hi guys, I’m starting a new trend on our podcast. I’ll be streaming from the…” he began before appearing to accidentally have a wardrobe malfunction exposing his nipple. There have been a few instances where streamers have inadvertently shown a bit too much skin resulting in bans from the platform, so it’s possible that he was poking fun of them. “I’ll be streaming from the hot tub today on the podcast. You know, no reason. I just thought people might like the view,” he mocked while admiring his own body and sticking his tongue out. Ethan Klein defends hot tub streams A bit later on in the podcast, Klein defended the broadcasts, calling the female streamers entrepreneurs and stating that their haters were just jealous. Read More: Valkyrae slams Twitch hot tub stream haters – “I feel like people are misplacing their anger towards these girls and not towards Twitch,” he said while watching videos of Amouranth sitting on her banana pool toy. “I feel like they’re veiling their anger. They’re jealous!” According to Klein, male streamers are jealous that the hot tub streamers are raking in money and are at the top of Twitch. (Segment starts at 11:11:43) That said, he also stressed that he personally wouldn’t be watching hot tub streams, calling it “totally f**king stupid.” “It’s like an e-girlfriend thing cause it’s just a cam girl situation,” he added. “It’s really a sad sight to get involved in this sh*t.” Essentially, his position is that the girls are smart for taking advantage of the opportunity, but he doesn’t see the merits in it himself. With Twitch confirming they’re monitoring the hot tub meta closely, it will be interesting to see what ends up happening with the streams in the future – but for the time being, it doesn’t seem like these types of broadcasts are going anywhere.

Ethan Klein calls out “coward” Jeff Wittek for threatening Trisha Paytas Youtube: Jeff Wittek / H3H3 ProductionsEthan Klein has called out Jeff Wittek for “threatening” Trisha Paytas and gloating about “exterminating” them in the form of new merch that refers to him as the “rat exterminator”. Despite having a fallout that resulted in Trisha Paytas leaving the ‘Frenemies’ podcast with H3H3’s Ethan Klein, it seems like he’s still got their back after rushing to their defense over a recent feud with Jeff Wittek. It all started when Trisha called him “dumb” for taking part in the activities that lead to his eye injury without medical professionals on-site. Jeff wasn’t thrilled about the comments, claiming they “crossed the line” and saying that poking away at his injury was “going to end really bad for everyone.” And when Trisha said they felt threatened by his comments, he said, “nobody cares, you little rat.” Now, in the latest development of the saga, Jeff posted a video of him showing off new merchandise that referred to him as a “rat exterminator”, which many believe is a clear reference to the comments he made about Trisha, including Ethan. “Jeff, you are such a giant p*ssy,” said Ethan. “You have not exterminated anything but your own f**king career. And by the way, you are such a coward. You won’t do sh*t.” Then, to emphasize his point, he brought up a time where Jeff allegedly “ran away” from Trisha when they crossed paths in Starbucks. “You’re a f**king p*ssy, dude. Shut up and stop trying to act tough,” he added. “You’re not exterminating sh*t. Who are you exterminating? The one guy that actually wronged you, you went running back to him like a puppy dog because you needed the clout, you f**king p*ssy… Who’s a rat? You’re in a f**king rat’s nest right now. Shut the f**k up.” The relevant part of the video starts at 2:13:13. Ethan didn’t hold back in his furious rant. “I’m sorry, but this p*ssed me off,” he said. “Too harsh? I don’t know. I thought this was so tasteless. “It’s one thing to joust, but to be like, ‘I’m a f**king rat exterminator, and I’m going to exterminate the rats — especially coming from the guy who ditched his own food at Starbucks because he saw Trisha. Sounds like a real rat exterminator to me.” Trisha and Jeff are yet to comment on the situation.

Ethan Klein leaks DMs from xQc after debate goes south xQc / H3H3 ProductionsPopular streamer xQc and Ethan Klein of H3H3 productions cut their livestream debate short and instead took to Twitter as the two engaged in a heated argument surrounding their opposing opinions on reaction content. xQc has been under a lot of scrutiny after he was accused of stealing content for his own reaction videos. The controversy started after he uploaded a video to his YouTube reacting to another creator’s content titled ‘The Kennedy Assassination | xQc Reacts to LeMMiNO’. This led to an influx of backlash from various creators such as SomeOrdinaryGamers on Twitter and the debate snowballed from there. With reaction videos from top content creators often seen to generate more views than the original creator themselves, the main backlash is the claim that the reactors add no value to the original video despite still reaping the large financial benefits through ad revenue. After catching the attention of Ethan Klein, he invited xQc onto his live YouTube show on August 7 to discuss the controversies and to apologize to smaller creators. The stream started calmly, with xQc agreeing to apologize. “I absolutely will! I didn’t get a Twitter DM. I didn’t get nothing. I feel really bad”, he said The H3 podcast host however was not convinced, as it quickly became a heated back-and-forth exchange. The arguments got more personal with Ethan highlighting xQc’s wealth stating: “You’re a multi-millionaire, and you steal content from small creators.” With xQc equally firing back with personal exchanges of his own such as suggesting he could literally do a worm dance and still generate more views than he has got in ‘four years”. Ethan ends the debate with xQc abruptly to leak DMs on Twitter With the debate going nowhere and tensions rising, the H3H3 founder decided to end the Zoom call before heading to Twitter to leak messages between himself and xQc. Notably, Felix sent a photo of his rare watch worth over $450,000 dollars to take another personal shot at Ethan’s wealth. As the hours passed the two continued to go back and forth as Ethan kept posting screenshots of their DMs for all of Twitter to see. The controversy looks to continue to divide the community amongst fans and fellow content creators with Canadian streamer and H3 host still failing to reach a peaceful conclusion. xQc has previously criticized Klein for laughing during QTCinderella’s tearful stream and Ethan has spoken out against “moron” xQc for criticizing FaZe signing Grace Van Dien

Ethan Klein exposes James Charles “admitting” he ripped off H3H3 merch Instagram: h3h3productions/Twitter: h3h3productionsAfter trading blows with James Charles on Twitter, H3H3 Productions founder Ethan Klein has now Tweeted a private conversation he had with the beauty YouTuber, wherein he claims Charles “basically admits that his team ripped of us [sic]”. Recently, James Charles unveiled his long-awaited ‘Sisters Apparel’ clothing line which, among other things, included pastel, color-blocked hoodies that look remarkably similar to those offered by Ethan’s wife, Hila Klein’s, Teddy Fresh line. Whilst Ethan has clarified on Twitter that he doesn’t claim to have “invented color-blocking”, he does point out on Instagram that “it’s the exact colors in the exact spot on our most iconic item”, with him posting a tongue-in-cheek TikTok about how James Charles’ new hoodie “looks familiar”. In the explosive exchange, Charles admits that “one of the color ways we’re doing IS an exact copy of the purple tan pink and teal hoodies you guys have”. He then goes on to suggest that whilst he didn’t copy anything, “they [his team] certainly may have”. https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1307370780796227584 However, when Ethan explains in the exchange that this hoodie design is “the hallmark of our brand” and that he is “speechless” it has been “knocked off”, Charles appears to go on the defense. He says that the Kleins don’t “own color block” and that the main hoodie in the collection – which the beauty guru argues is inspired by own Nike hoodie – has a “different source of inspiration, […] color body” and “color pocket”. He also claims that their different fanbase and brand means that there is “no competition here”, and argues that he has “never shopped on their website” and so could not have possibly copied them. Justifying his reasoning for going public with this exchange, Ethan explains that he wanted a “sense of justice before he sells a billion of these”, and that he wanted to provide evidence of Charles’ admission of “ripping [them] off” to all those who initially refuted his claims. https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1307372094376693760 Suggesting that he is unbothered by the leaked conversation, James simply Tweeted out a “good morning” message to his followers, which Ethan then responded to with a screenshot of their conversation. This Tweet has since been deleted by Klein. When it comes to this latest drama, fans have had a range of responses. Whilst some have moved to defend Klein, encouraging him to “lawyer up”, other fans have taken this exchange to be proof that James “never changed” following his drama with Tati Westbrook, Shane Dawson and Jeffree Starr last year. james never changed mark my words. i’m ashamed i ever did think and let myself believe he changed? — fattiana gruntë (@fattianabb) September 19, 2020 Meanwhile, supporters of Charles have accused Klein of having a “mid-life crisis”, whilst other users are claiming that he’s “throw[ing] a fit on Twitter for clout”. He has no proof so throws a fit on twitter for clout instead — grace? (@glossytbh) September 19, 2020 It remains to be seen if this is the end of the drama between these two creators, but the ball is in Charles’ court and he hasn’t responded yet at the time of publication. As always, we’ll continue to bring you the latest on this story as it develops.

Ethan Klein immediately roasts Elon Musk after Twitter unban YouTube: H3 PodcastH3H3’s Ethan Klein has returned to Twitter just weeks after being banned for impersonation and had a few choice words for Elon Musk soon after learning his account was unbanned. On November 7, just hours after Elon Musk launched his first attempt at adding verification badges to Twitter Blue, Ethan Klein received a ban for impersonating the site’s new CEO, a direct violation of the platform’s rules. Klein, among others, called out Musk’s plan to roll out badges to everyone on the belief it would make it easier for bad actors to impersonate celebrities and companies — opening users up to scams. But now, Ethan has returned to Twitter and had a few choice words for Elon Musk during the H3 Podcast’s live show. Ethan Klein roasts Elon Musk after return to Twitter At the time Ethan Klein noticed the H3H3Productions Twitter account had been unbanned, he and the crew were doing the podcast in front of a live audience. Ethan quickly grabbed his phone to record a video of the crowd as he chanted: “F*ck Elon Musk. F*ck you Elon Musk, you suck.” At the time of writing, the accounts display name is still displaying the likeness of Twitter’s newest owner as well. Fans were quick to celebrate H3H3’s return to the bird site as well, with hundreds of replies to his video mocking Elon. “It’s a Christmas Miracle, welcome back,” one user replied. Another user said: “What a great return.” “What good timing for your account to come back!’ replied a third fan. It’s unknown whether or not H3H3 will change its account’s name back to normal, so we’d have to wait to see what happens in the coming days. If Ethan continues impersonating Elon, however, he may be met with another ban from Twitter.

Ethan Klein issues formal apology to QTCinderella after laughing at deepfake drama YouTube: Ethan KleinEthan Klein has issued a formal apology to Twitch star QTCinderella after bursting into laughter while watching her tearful response to a website selling inappropriate deepfakes of herself and other female broadcasters. On January 30, Twitch streamer Atrioc came under fire after getting caught purchasing explicit deepfakes of several high-profile female broadcasters. Several of the women affected by the website from which he purchased such content spoke out against these deepfakes, including prominent streamer QTCinderella, who notably promised to sue the site’s creator in a tearful live stream. Popular YouTuber Ethan Klein reacted to QT’s statement about the website during an episode of the H3 Podcast that same day. During the stream, Klein reportedly told one of his technicians to play a slowed-down version of Nat King Cole’s ‘Christmas Song’ over the video, causing him to burst into laughter. Klein immediately received critical responses from his own crew, a few of which hid their faces from the camera. After a moment passed, he apologized for laughing and claimed that he supported QT amid the ongoing situation. A clip from Klein’s broadcast instantly went viral online, sparking backlash from netizens on social media and even garnering criticism from other streamers like xQc, who compared him to an “opossum.” Ethan Klein apologizes to QTCinderella after laughing about deepfake drama Since then, Klein has uploaded a separate video addressing the issue, in which he directly apologized to QTCinderella. “QT Cinderella put out a very heartfelt, serious video about how deeply these kinds of things have deeply affected her,” he explained. “During that video, I made the really unfortunate and stupid decision to play this stupid soundbyte of this guy singing, ‘chestnuts over an open fire.’” “The problem was, then I started laughing while her heartfelt, really serious was going on. Clearly, you can imagine the dichotomy of those two things was not good. It was not good, because one, I actually really respect QT. I think she’s a really talented and great creator. I think the pain she’s experiencing is 100% valid.” “That’s the part that kind of sucks for me the most is that someone who I actually really want to support may have felt worse in an already difficult situation because of my careless and very inappropriate and gross and stupid behavior.” Klein went on to claim that directly after the stream, he apologized to both QT and Ludwig, her partner and a fellow streamer, in Twitter DMs, although it doesn’t seem as though he’s received a response from them at the time of writing. Klein then posited that his behavior may have been a result of his Tourettes syndrome, saying, “I think it’s a bit of a cop out. I think I have control over these things. I feel I do. But I don’t know. Maybe it has something to do with it.” Klein wrapped up his apology by offering to get her in contact with his own legal counsel, as well as offering funding to help fight against the deepfake website.

Ethan Klein explains why he’s not discussing Trisha Paytas Frenemies drama anymore YouTube: blndsundoll4mj, H3 PodcastYouTube stars Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas had a major falling out after their heated argument on the now-defunct Frenemies podcast — and a week later, Klein is officially done discussing the drama. For those out of the loop, Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas created a podcast together called ‘Frenemies,’ so-named due to the unexpected friendship that blossomed between them after they had a fairly public beef in 2019. Since then, the two have released 39 episodes on their podcast, which became one of the internet’s most popular shows — but nearly a year after starting the project, Patyas brought up monetary and business concerns that ended up tearing an irreparable rift in their partnership during a live broadcast. Paytas claimed that they weren’t let in on important business decisions and weren’t getting a big enough cut of the show’s profits, while Klein felt Paytas was receiving a “generous” income from the project and argued he was within his rights to hire new employees as he saw fit. (Topic begins at 1:30:00) After a week-long back and forth spat between the two stars, Klein has announced that he is finished discussing the drama, as told in a Tweet and TikTok video on June 13. “I know y’all want me to talk about Trisha, but this whole thing is extremely upsetting and disturbing, I’m still processing it,” he wrote. “This is a person who I considered one of my closest friends a week ago who is now making videos accusing me of sexually harassing her. It’s too much.” Klein followed up his tweet with another statement: “Trisha said I was sexualizing her in the workplace, which is the textbook definition of sexual harassment.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1404270239001432065 Klein’s response follows a video that Paytas uploaded recently, where they claim that Klein brought up an instance of sexual assault that happened to them in the past while on a trip with their mother. Paytas claimed the situation made them very uncomfortable. They composed several more tweets in the midst of this, claiming that they didn’t know if Ethan was “twisting everything I say” to “drive more hate my way or not, but it’s disheartening.” I’m not sure if twisting everything i say this week is intentional to drive more hate my way or not but it’s disheartening. Starting with me wanting to “fire a crew” to now “accusations of sexual harassment” when it’s ME talking about MY sexual health/ history — Trisha Paytas (@trishapaytas) June 14, 2021 As of right now, it appears that Klein is well and truly done bringing their feud out into the public . Their shared fanbase remains highly divided, with some taking Paytas’ side while others argue in defense of Ethan.

Ethan Klein exposes Durte Dom after claims he “reunited” with David Dobrik YouTube: Ethan Klein / Durte DomEthan Klein exposed Durte Dom for hiring a Dabid Dobrik lookalike to pretend that he “reunited” with him following their fallout after sexual assault allegations against him surfaced. In March 2021, Durte Dom was accused of sexually assaulting an extra during a Vlog Squad shoot with David Dobrik. And after more allegations surfaced, he apologized but claimed his character was being “unfairly attacked.” Dobrik was also dealing with his own controversies around the same time, and a rift started to form between him and Dom. However, after taking an extended break, Dobrik returned to YouTube, and it looked like the two had patched things up, or so people thought. According to Ethan Klein, the recent “reunion” videos Dom has been posting on social media don’t look legitimate. In fact, he claims he hired a lookalike to pretend to be Dobrik, although he wasn’t sure what his motive might be. https://www.tiktok.com/@dominykas/video/6974897089033587974 “People are saying that he may have hired a lookalike,” said Klein. “Can you believe how disturbing this is? In the midst of what he’s accused of. I feel like David could probably sue him for this. He went and got an extra that looked like David. “Like, you can tell they’re acting. That’s next level. There’s so many of them [that all have] the same lookalike he hired. So, his response to being accused of being a predator was to hire a David Dobrik lookalike and make a whole series of David and Dom back.” Klein concluded that it was hard to know whether Dom was trying to get Dobrik into trouble for revenge or just trying to get views. Either way, he laughed at the fact he managed to get “good mileage” out of the lookalike. Klein isn’t the only one to think Dom hired a lookalike. Many fans and viewers reached the same conclusion, too. One video appears to be more legitimate than the others, but people still have doubts about whether or not it’s really Dobrik.

Ethan Klein confronts Mike Majlak over DinkDoink crypto drama: “I’ve never scammed anyone” YouTube: H3 PodcastOne year removed from what many quickly labeled as another cryptocurrency “scam,” H3H3’s Ethan Klein confronted Impaulsive host Mike Majlak over his involvement with the infamous DinkDoink ‘meme-coin.’ The gaming space has been embroiled in a number of alleged crypto ‘pump and dump’ scandals. Following close behind Kay’s ‘Save The Kids’ scandal that saw him removed from FaZe Clan, both Logan Paul and Mike Majlak were accused of similarly misleading their audience with a questionable crypto known as DinkDoink. Both members of the Impaulsive podcast promoted the crypto, calling it the “hottest new coin of 2021” and publicly stating they were “all in”. “We can go to the top of this whole market,” Majlak said in a brief video that soon went viral across social media. Days later news surfaced that Paul himself allegedly helped design the crypto and that “80%” of its value at launch “[was] owned by the top 100 wallets.” While its value rapidly plummeted, now being worth just $0.000000000017549 per coin, Paul and Logan went silent on the matter. Now 12 months on from the situation, Majlak faced the music when Klein questioned him on his involvement during episode 254 of his H3 Podcast. After replaying the viral promotional video, Majlak quickly turned the tables. “Let me ask you a question,” he said. “When you watch that video of me, is there any moment of that where you’re like ‘wow, this seems serious’?” “No,” Klein responded. “You’re obviously being tongue in cheek.” Explaining how it all came about, Majlak stressed that this video was intended for a small audience, rather than the millions that soon viewed it online. “I get a call. I’m doing this dumb thing, absolutely no explanation. It’s an idea that talks sh*t about the crypto community. Can you send a video to me that I’m going to post for the 15 devs in this Telegram group chat? Two days later this thing’s viral. Some a**hole is gonna see this and think it’s a real thing now.” The DinkDoink discussion begins at the 1:28:39 mark below. As a completely real coin established in the crypto marketplace, DinkDoink lost roughly 90% of its value from June 26 to July 12, 2021. “I have never in any of my wallets accepted a DinkDoink coin,” Majlak stressed. “I never accepted any kind of payment for DinkDoink. I’ve never been involved in even a semblance of a crypto scam.” “You didn’t profit from DinkDoink?” Klein put simply. “In zero way, shape, or form,” Majlak replied. “We don’t scam, I’ve never scammed anyone before. Logan cares deeply about his audience, loves his brand, doesn’t have to scam to make money. Nobody made money on DinkDoink.” Majlak then went on to reveal he supposedly lost money as a result of the backlash to DinkDoink. One particular sponsor seemingly backed out of a $35K partnership with the influencer shortly after the crypto drama. Paul is still yet to properly address his involvement with the DinkDoink cryptocurrency.

Ethan Klein explains how Logan Paul “f*cked up” his response to Coffeezilla Ethan Klein/Logan PaulEthan Klein reacted to Logan Paul’s response to Coffeezilla’s investigation into his crypto project titled CryptoZoo, and H3H3 explained why Paul’s reaction was “f*cked up.” On January 3, Logan Paul uploaded a video response to YouTuber Coffeezilla’s investigation into his seemingly abandoned project CryptoZoo. Coffeezilla had uploaded a three-part series highlighting the investors of CryptoZoo, some of which lost up to hundreds of thousands of dollars investing in the blockchain-based project, which was quickly abandoned by Paul. Now, H3H3’s Ethan Klein has reacted to Paul’s viral video, and given his viewpoint on the drama. Ethan Klein labels Logan Paul’s video the “worst response ever” The 37-year-old podcaster uploaded a video directly to his highlights channel giving his perspective on the Logan Paul and Coffeezilla beef. Ethan claimed that Logan uploading his response video to his main channel was “bad” because he’s “blasting it to a huge audience, his fans are going to see it who weren’t aware of it.” Barely four seconds into the video and Ethan was stunned at just how hard Logan went at Coffeezilla and said, “Here’s how he f*cked up: He’s not coming graciously to understand the misunderstanding. He’s already coming out accusing him of exploiting his name for views and money, but I don’t think Coffee did that. He laid out a thoughtful and compelling case.” Later in the video, Klein slammed Logan saying “he’s making every mistake in the book. This is the worst response ever.” He also said he’s excited to see the fallout of this video, and what Coffeezilla’s response will include, whenever it does drop on his YouTube channel. Ethan will certainly react to this video on his podcast when he comes back from his holiday hiatus.

Ethan Klein claps back at Elon Musk with special t-shirt after Twitter suspension YouTube: H3 PodcastEthan Klein has clapped back at Elon Musk after his recent Twitter suspension with a special edition t-shirt available through his company Teddy Fresh. As of October 27, 2022, Elon Musk is the new owner and CEO of Twitter after months of deliberations between the Tesla founder and the popular social media platform. Shortly after taking over, Musk revealed a new version of the website’s Twitter Blue subscription that will automatically verify users — leaving many to wonder what will be done about impersonation. H3’s Ethan Klein learned what would happen the hard way, as he was met with a permanent suspension from the platform after impersonating Elon Musk recently. Ethan Klein claps back at Elon Musk after ban Shortly after his ban from the platform, Klein revealed during the H3 Podcast that he made a special-edition t-shirt to clap back at Elon Musk. Launched through his clothing company Teddy Fresh, the “Elon Musk is a Piece of Sh*t” tee shows a sketch of Musk with crudely drawn devil horns and a tail drawn on top of it. = But that’s not all, as it also says “loser” on the Tesla founder’s forehead. As the $40 shirt is just available as a pre-order, buyers shouldn’t expect to receive their shirt until mid to late January. As far as his feelings about the ban go, he also mentioned during the podcast that he knew he was going to be banned and did it because he doesn’t like the platform. However, he stayed adamant about his feelings towards Elon Musk, stating that he feels the ban ‘exposed the hypocrisy of the new owner.

Ethan Klein clashes with Greekgodx over exercise comments: “It’s a joke you silly b*tch” Ethan Klein/GreekgodxYouTube star and H3 podcast host Ethan Klein got into it with Twitch streamer Dimitri ‘Greekgodx’ Antonatos, after Greek called out Ethan for his exercise comments. On June 28, Greekgodx was banned from Twitch after going on a strange rant that involved hitting out at other streamers and making sexist comments. Although it’s still unclear how long the suspension will last, it seems he’s using his time away from the broadcasting platform to continue calling out other content creators. This time, Ethan Klein is in the crosshairs of Greek, as the 29-year-old streamer lashed out at him for his jokes about exercising. Greekgodx “lost all respect” for Ethan Klein after exercise joke Greek shared a clip from the H3 podcast on June 30 where the 37-year-old went on a rant claiming that “there are so many better things to do than exercise.” Klein then calls working out a “conspiracy,” and then calculates how many years of a person’s life can be “wasted” by exercising if they truly dedicate time to it. Greek took the comments very seriously and said, “When Ethan Klein said this I lost all respect for him. I’m kidding, I never had any respect for him in the first place. What a bad example to humanity.” Ethan hit back and said, “It’s called a joke you silly b*tch.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1542636200376184832?s=20&t=2TNtpGtVtJu5fSABKULU9g Klein then noted Greek’s current ban from Twitch, “Also, didn’t you just get banned from Twitch for saying essentially that women should be slaves?” Also didn’t you just get banned from twitch for saying essentially that women should be slaves? Lol gtfo weirdo dork loser — Ethan Klein (@h3h3productions) June 30, 2022 Ethan finished his comments by dismissing Greek, and said, “Lol gtfo weirdo dork loser.” The H3 podcast host made it clear that his rant about exercising was completely sarcastic, something that Greek may have missed.

Ethan Klein claims “white supremacists” are to blame for his YouTube ban YouTube: H3H3 ProductionsEthan Klein of H3H3 Productions has been handed a one-week suspension on YouTube, and has blamed “white supremacists” for successfully lobbying the platform to earn him a ban for anti-Semitism. Klein — who is Jewish himself — has had frequent disagreements with names all across the internet, especially when stepping into the political ground and discussing global societal issues. During an episode of his Leftovers podcast with Twitch streamer Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker, Klein said that he “hopes Ben [Shapiro] gets gassed first” if there was to be another Holocaust, later claiming that it was a “joke” against the Daily Wire reporter. After mass appeals from shocked viewers, Klein was handed a one-week suspension from the platform, and took to Twitter to voice his frustration. “A few white supremacists successfully lobbied YouTube to suspend me, a Jewish dual citizen of Israel & USA, for anti-semitism,” he said. “Ben Shapiro & friends can virtue signal all they want but ultimately they are the ones platforming dangerous anti-semites. All I did was point it out.” He continued: “The people reporting me, excepting Ben, are tiki torch-carrying, white Christian nationalists. They do not give a f**k about anti-semitism or Jewish people. They revel in the fact that YouTube and other institutions are so quick to act on bad faith & malicious outrage. “They are currently the greatest beneficiaries of cancel culture, identity politics, and moral outrage. It’s incredible that they have become the party of “free speech” while decrying and lobbying for my deplatforming.” Shapiro responded to Klein’s ban, saying that he “doesn’t believe Ethan Klein should be suspended from YouTube for his awful garbage,” but that he will “shed no tears for a person who has routinely engaged in the cancelation of others.” Klein went on to apologize to fans of the podcast, saying that he “hates we’ll miss a week of the show because of another stupid joke,” but confirmed that another episode will go live on Friday, October 28 for Halloween.

Ethan Klein claps back at Adin Ross after calling him a “fat f**k” Ethan Klein/Adin RossYouTube star Ethan Klein hit back at Adin Ross after the Twitch streamer called him a “fat f**k” and insulted his wife and Teddy Fresh founder Hila Klein. Despite Ethan Klein‘s H3H3 Podcast still being on hiatus for the holiday season, that doesn’t mean he’s halted uploading videos. Throughout the holidays, the 37-year-old podcaster has been using his individual channel, just named ‘Ethan Klein’, to react to drama and keep up with current events. In his January 8 video, the YouTuber went viral after reacting to a clip of Adin Ross dishing out some unsavory comments about his appearance. Adin Ross slams Ethan Klein as a “fat f*ck” Klien was reacting to Adin Ross calling him out during a Twitch stream, where Ross said, “His podcast is literally a**. Like, sh*t. I could make a podcast and it would be so much better.” He continued while talking to his friend off-screen, “I’m talking about that fat f**k L3L3. Adin’s friend chimes in, “If I see him on the streets I’m beating his ass. And his wife’s ugly!” Ethan was confounded by the comments about his wife, saying “You wanna call my wife ugly? You have zero wives, you don’t have a significant other you lonely a** b*tch. The only people that hang out with you are on payroll.” Klein also said the only person who would be Adin’s “daddy” is Andrew Tate, who he claimed is “grooming” Ross “like one of his camgirls.” Ethan also defended himself against body weight shaming comments as he’s documented his weight loss journey over the last few months. Ross shaved his head in support of Tate who is currently in a Romanian prison after a police raid was executed on his compound. H3 has been publically critical of Ross’ relationship with Tate, which is what initially led to Ross calling him out by name during a broadcast.

Ethan Klein claims agency stole $600k from him and is “afraid” of outcome YouTube: Ethan KleinEthan Klein claims that content creator agency BBTV has stolen over $600,000 from him, with the influencer explaining how and why this has come about as well as revealing that other influencers have endured similar issues after he raised it publicly. Content creator and YouTuber Ethan Klein has slammed the BBTV agency, stating the organization has “stolen” $620,000 from his channel earnings. Klein revealed the news in a new YouTube video, where he discussed how, after noticing issues with his contract with BBTV, he called the company to talk out his concerns. “The only way I could actually get paid is if I connected to a network and YouTube sent the money to them and then they sent us the money. That was the only way.” When calling representatives from BBTV, Klein explained how their response was supposedly less than supportive and was, at times, defensive. Ethan Klein claims BBTV “stole” over $600,000 from him In a follow-up video, Klein revealed that many other content creators have reached out to him and expressed their own issues. Specifically, how they too have lost money through their own arrangements with BBTV. Popular YouTuber MoistCr1TiKaL even weighed in on the issue, stating, “oh yeah, that is concerning, I did see that… H3H3 posted about how BBTV stole $620,000 from them over a course of multiple years.” After reading out the other responses, Klein elaborated further on his own experiences and concerns. “My fear is that they don’t have the money and that these guys are on the verge of declaring bankruptcy. I’ve been reading over the contract and my remedies are not that much. I could unlink immediately without giving a 30-day notice if I was afraid that they were going to go bankrupt.” He added that, “you know what, the punishment for terminating it is that I have to pay them back the $10,000 signing bonus they gave me five years ago. So I said, you know what, I’ll happily owe them $10,000 to get out of this because every cent I’m earning now is still being funneled to them for the next 2 months.” Finally, Klein admitted that “I’d have to be the biggest idiot ever to sit here and allow them after all this to keep collecting my money.” Time will tell exactly what Klein plans to do with his ties to BBTV, however, we’ll be sure to keep you in the know with any new updates.

Ethan Klein claims friend of Jeff Wittek “threatened” him and wife Hila before interview YouTube: H3 PodcastYouTuber and podcast host Ethan Klein claims a friend of fellow influencer Jeff Wittek harassed him and his wife, Hila, before Wittek’s scheduled interview on their show. Jeff Wittek has made no bones about his feelings regarding YouTube star David Dobrik over the past few days. Wittek — who was once part of Dobriks’ friend group, the Vlog Squad — recently pulled out of an event due to Dobrik being involved, notably calling the YouTuber a “scumbag.” The drama between Wittek and Dobrik sparked after Wittek was injured during a stunt in 2021, in which Dobrik manned a crane that Wittek was strapped to. Wittek’s eye was badly damaged, requiring multiple surgeries. Since then, tensions between him and Dobrik have been riding high — and it seems as though sentiments between Wittek’s friends and Ethan Klein are in a similar state. Wittek was scheduled to appear in an episode of the H3H3 podcast to discuss his drama with Dobrik. However, Klein ultimately ended up canceling the interview after he claimed a friend of Wittek harassed him and his wife on two separate occasions. “Jeff’s not coming on the show for good reason,” Klein explained. “I’ll just say it – Jeff’s friend, the guy I was making fun of, he came into our f**king gated community and was filming, driving by our house and saying, ‘I have all the info you need Ethan, don’t test me!’ Like threatening me and my family in front of our house.” Klein claimed that he had to phone the authorities to take care of the situation and tightened security at the front gate of his neighborhood. “That was a horrible experience,” he added. “They think it’s funny, I guess, to drive by my house and intimidate me.” (Topic begins at 16:20) Klein went on to clarify that, although he doesn’t believe Wittek had anything to do with the incident, he was canceling the interview due to the company he keeps. This news comes in wake of Casey Neistat’s upcoming documentary covering David Dobrik’s controversies, set to premiere at SXSW in March.

Ethan Klein celebrates after winning Triller lawsuit over Kevin Hart comment YouTube: H3 Podcast / TrillerYouTube comedy duo H3H3 has officially won a lawsuit filed against them by Triller, after the content creators joked about comedian Kevin Hart being advertised as using the Triller app. Jake Paul’s boxing success has done a lot more than put the ‘Problem Child’ on the map for combat sports fans; the YouTuber’s April 2021 bout against Ben Askren also resulted in an expensive lawsuit against a slew of YouTube channels. Triller notoriously filed a lawsuit against a slew of channels for illegally streaming the match. Although they ended up dropping this suit, they did refile against one channel in particular for using footage from the fight — H3H3. This single suit turned into a slew of filings against the YouTube duo by both Triller and Triller’s CEO, Ryan Kavanaugh, one of which has been successfully overturned in favor of H3H3 months after the fact. On January 13, Klein took to Twitter to announce that H3H3 had successfully won one of four lawsuits filed against them by Triller via an Anti-Slapp motion, meaning that the suit cannot be re-filed and that the YouTubers are eligible to collect legal fees. The lawsuit appears to have been filed in regards to comments Klein made regarding Kevin Hart using the Triller app. According to Klein, the app had purportedly falsely advertised Hart used the app, as told during an episode of the H3 Podcast. https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1481758506260725764 Triller alleged that Klein’s comments had interfered in its business and accused Klein of lying about their app advertising Hart. Former LA Deputy District Attorney Emily Baker broke down the ruling on Twitter: “The court finds the statements by Klein are parody, that Triller didn’t prove Kevin Hart was on the app, & that Triller didn’t prove their s**t wasn’t flipped.” The court finds that the statements by Klein is parody, that Triller didn’t prove that Kevin Heart was on the app, & that Triller didn’t prove their shit wasn’t flipped. I’m not surprised by this ruling & have said since the beginning that the Anti-Slapp would likely be granted. pic.twitter.com/qQogT7nWk5 — Emily D. Baker ⚖️ 💜 (@TheEmilyDBaker) January 13, 2022 Klein excitedly mentioned H3H3 now only has a single lawsuit left to battle, revealing the latest suit from Triller has been dismissed for “being improper.” https://twitter.com/h3h3productions/status/1481767382624264197 This seems to mean the remaining lawsuits involve the footage used from the Jake Paul vs Ben Askren fight from 2021 and a defamation lawsuit from Kavanaugh.

Ethan Klein celebrates Drake’s new album with haircut live on H3H3 podcast Flickr: The Come Up Show/YouTube: H3H3Hot off the release of Drake’s new album – Certified Lover Boy – H3H3’s Ethan Klein has debuted his new Drake-inspired trim. Drake has pitched into the ongoing album war, with his latest cut Certified Lover Boy. Coming three years after his fifth LP Scorpion, Drake is eager to match contemporaries Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar. In similar surprise fashion to Kanye, the album emerged after numerous billboards hinting towards the album’s guest roster began to be noticed by fans. Notwithstanding its impressive guest spots, the album has been released to mixed response. To celebrate the release of Certified Lover Boy, H3h3’s Ethan Klein has decided to don a Drake-inspired aesthetic. Certified Drake fan The H3H3 podcast is a place for odd, comedic adventures. Just about anything can happen, especially when Ethan decides to bring some chaotic energy to proceedings. Previously, the content creator displayed music-inspired aesthetics before in the form of his 90s boy band tribute look. Ditching the frosted tips for a Drake-inspired crew cut, Ethan made the choice to rock this new trim on the H3H3 podcast. “Gimme that thing. I’ll do it myself,” Klein said as he took the reigns to deliver fans his new look. Acquiring a mirror to finish off his haircut, Klein transformed himself into a mega Drake fan right before his audience’s eyes. Timestamp: 2:17:47 Instead of opting for a heart outline, Ethan took matters to the next level of fandom by stylising himself a “full fill” heart into his hair. The event was truly something to behold and a real treat for Drake and Klein’s respective fanbase. “I’m a certified lover boy” declared Ethan to his wife and co-host Hila Klein. Who will be next to join Drake and Klein in style supremacy?

Ethan Klein banned on Twitter after mocking Elon Musk over verification fiasco YouTube: H3H3/PewDiePieH3H3’s Ethan Klein has found himself banned from Twitter after impersonating Elon Musk following Musk’s rule change on parody posts. Since Elon Musk finally completed his $44 billion purchase of Twitter at the end of October, the Tesla boss has been making some radical changes to the social media platform. The biggest of which has come in the form of changes to verified accounts. Previously verified users are set to lose their blue ticks unless they sign up for Twitter Blue for $8 a month. This also means new accounts can buy verification of their own if they also sign up for the premium plan. This has, naturally, caused some issues. Plenty of users have flagged the fact that you could simply buy Twitter Blue and start impersonating somebody else. While Musk claimed that accounts that were labeled parody would be fine, that’s not been the case for Ethan Klein. Ethan Klein suspended from Twitter for Elon Musk parody posts Following Musk’s post about parody accounts being fine, the H3H3 star started impersonating the South African business magnate. The YouTube star made a number of posts about Ghislaine Maxwell and the “sacrifices” Musk had made to ensure “free speech” remained on Twitter by allowing racist and abusive posts. “Let it be known it says PARODY ACCOUNT in the info,” he tweeted. “Before it dies. Comedy lives forever.” It was funny while it lasted 😂 pic.twitter.com/FQkqZZkzC3 — Michelle ☘️🇨🇦 (@xCarRadio13) November 7, 2022 Though, he revealed via the H3 Podcast account that he’d been banned shortly after the impersonation posts. “Comedy is dead on Twitter and Elon Musk killed it,” the tweet said, taking a shot at Musk’s tweet about comedy being “legal” now he’d taken ownership of the platform. As of writing, Klein’s account still has the “account suspended” message on it when you try to visit it. The length of his suspension isn’t entirely clear, though the H3 Podcast account has retweeted claims about him being “permanently suspended.” So, we’ll have to see if that changes.

Ethan Klein blasts FaZe Banks over alleged crypto scam: ‘You’re stealing from fans’ YouTube: Banks, H3H3FaZe Clan became embroiled in a huge cryptocurrency controversy throughout July 2021, and it has raised a number of questions over co-owner FaZe Banks. Now, H3H3’s Ethan Klein has let his thoughts be known. On July 1, FaZe Clan took action and removed Kay, as well as suspending Jarvis, Teeqo and Nikan regarding a ‘pump and dump’ crypto scam with an altcoin called Save The Kids. Banks revealed that he took the decision to hand out the suspensions, but has since spent a lot of time batting away accusations levied against himself. He’s remained insistent that he has never taken part in any ‘pump and dump’ or ‘rug pull’ crypto schemes, but many aren’t convinced — including Klein. Ethan Klein is never one to shy away from controversy and, even with the split of his Frenemies podcast with Trisha Paytas, still has a lot to say on the influencer culture surrounding him. “I don’t think that’s going to hold up in court, kid,” Ethan said of a Banks tweet, in which he was giving away $10k and said that his promotion of the Banksocial coin was “not financial advice.” He continued: “It’s easy to be successful when you’re just stealing money from your fans. I don’t know if I would call that success, though. I mean, I’m not worried about the FBI arresting me for fraud.” H3H3’s Ethan Klein remains suspicious of FaZe Banks involvement in a possible crypto pump and dump. “”I don’t think that is going to hold up in court””https://t.co/a27dcRhrZs — Dexerto (@Dexerto) July 9, 2021 The suspended or removed FaZe members have not yet responded, with legal implications of the incident still not entirely certain. While Klein suggests that the FBI could end up involved with Banks and the other FaZe Clan members, it’s unclear what exactly is likely to happen. Needless to say, Ethan isn’t impressed with what’s gone down, and is expecting to see more action taken before the controversy is over.

Ethan Klein brings back Frenemies podcast without Trisha Paytas Ethan KleinH3H3’s Ethan Klein revived the Frenemies podcast but with a special new guest host, bringing back the previously ended hit show he used to host with Trisha Paytas. Frenemies was one of the most popular podcasts on the entire internet when it aired throughout 2021. The pair of co-hosts Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas went viral each episode for airing their antagonistic relationship, which made for some of the most entertaining content on the entirety of the podcasting platform. Sadly for fans, the show ended abruptly in the middle of an airing on June 8, 2021, when Trisha quit the show and stormed out marking the end of an era. Now, over a year later, Ethan has brought the show back, this time without Trisha. Ethan Klein revives Frenemies without Trisha Paytas The 36-year-old podcaster brought Frenemies back for the first time in over a year, this time with musician Oliver Tree filling in opposite of him. Although Klein has admitted he and Tree are very close friends, the pair have grown a hilarious and combative on-camera relationship, which is why Klein chose him as a new co-host. He introduced Tree as the new guest host and said “they long blonde hair, they ruined my life, and frankly, they disgust me.” Timestamp of 0:42 The episode was just like any classic episode of Frenemies, with the pair of hosts throwing insults at each other which culminated in a boxing match between the two. Ethan said despite Frenemies not having a new episode in over a year the show still ranks 44th in the top 100 podcasts. Although the revival of Frenemies may only last this one episode, Oliver Tree was a great co-host and fit the bill perfectly.

Ethan Klein announces another victory in legal battle with Triller H3 podcast | TrillerEthan Klein of H3H3 has been under its fair share of legal scrutiny over the past few years, with the Triller lawsuit levied against Ethan Klein being one of the biggest. Triller have been in a long, drawn-out legal battle with Ethan Klein after their decision to file four separate lawsuits against him. Most of the disputes branched from an incident involving the use of footage from a boxing match between Jake Paul and Ben Askren. While this legal battle is nowhere near over, Ethan Klein had a small win along with an update on the two remaining lawsuits. Ethan Klein wins a legal battle, but two suits still remain Attorney fees accrued by Ethan will now be paid in full by Triller after what Ethan has called a “frivolous and malicious lawsuit”. Ethan mocked Triller in the same tweet, talking about how their platform may be on “the verge of bankruptcy”, and claimed he doesn’t expect to get any money back despite the ruling. Additionally, Ethan’s hoping to have an update on the copyright and defamation lawsuits by the end of September, according to his tweet. It makes sense that Ethan would have his lips tightly sealed when it comes to an ongoing legal battle. However, we do know about the other two lawsuits and how they turned out. One of these suits was over a joke made about Kevin Hart being advertised on the Triller app. That case was dismissed when the court ruled that his content was parody and therefore is not defamation. The other suit was dismissed by the court for being improper, leaving only the remaining copyright and defamation suits.

Ethan Klein apologizes to Tana Mongeau for comparing her to a Twinkie in body-shaming video Tana Mongeau/Ethan KleinH3 Podcast host Ethan Klein offered an apology to social media star Tana Mongeau over a years-old video where the YouTuber compared her body to a Twinkie. On August 4, Ethan Klein hosted a star-studded episode of the H3 podcast joined by co-host Mike Majlak, Jeff Wittek, and Tana Mongeau. The episode, titled ‘BFFFFs’, was planned as an airing of grievances between the group of influencers and Ethan, who has had public encounters with each of the social media stars without ever actually meeting in person. During the taping of the three-hour podcast, Ethan called out Majlak for his promotion of the DinkDoink cryptocurrency, as well as offering an apology to Tana for comments he made about her in a video on the H3H3 channel. Ethan Klein apologizes to Tana Mongeau over Twinkie comparison Klein pulled up his Instagram vs. Reality video, posted back in May 2019, where he compared influencers’ posts online versus what they actually look like in real life. In the video, Klein compares a picture of Tana’s actual body to a Twinkie. As it played in the background he offered multiple apologies to Tana for the comments, who couldn’t bare to watch the video. Tana said, “Since then, I’ve hit the gym a lot and I Facetune a lot less.” Ethan then offered a further apology, “Sitting here across from you, I do want you to know that there’s nothing wrong with this body and you’re beautiful.” He continued, “I would never make fun of a woman’s appearance like this (now), and I’m very sorry.” Click here if the video doesn’t load Mongeau also claimed she considered coming into the podcast studio in a bikini, but ultimately decided against it. She also said that prior to coming into the interview she believed Ethan “hated” her, which he strongly denied. The beef between the two influencers is seemingly squashed as the pair made amends after the apology.

Ethan & Hila Klein respond to Joe Rogan after his comments receive backlash YouTube: H3 podcastYouTubers Ethan and Hila Klein have responded after Joe Rogan criticized Hila on the JRE podcast, leading to backlash from H3H3 fans. In the May 18 episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, Joe and his guest Whitney Cummings angered fans of the Kleins after they criticized Hila for wearing a face-covering at an outdoor event. Rogan said: “Look at this, people are outside with their mask on, and everyone is tested. That is what is so dumb.” He went on to say: “Even the CDC says you can take your mask off when you are outside. There is no evidence whatsoever that there is transmission outside.” Cummings also added to the criticism, saying: “Half of these people are the people that are like ‘I have a therapist and I’m all about mental health.’ You know the worst thing for your mental health is finding more reasons to stay inside.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1395286862076383236 After the clip gained traction on the H3H3 subreddit, viewers expressed their frustration toward the comments and were particularly disappointed that Whitney didn’t defend Hila, having been a repeat guest on their podcast. During the May 21 episode of H3 After Dark, the couple responded to Rogan and Cummings. When explaining her attendance at the event, Hila said that: “I decided to go but I was super paranoid about even going, it was very uncomfortable going to that party. Not that I was forced to do it, but it was a very uncomfortable experience.” They stressed that they were trying to be careful in order to protect their young son, nanny, parents, and employees. Topic starts at 49:15 Ethan continued: “This was during a time, by the way, when we were sh**ting on a lot of influencers who were being super irresponsible, not wearing masks and stuff. So it’s like, you know, we don’t wanna be caught f**king being hypocrites.” “Dude, again, even if it was taken yesterday, why do you f**king care if someone’s wearing a mask?” he added. Rogan also recently came under fire after he claimed “woke” culture was going too far in a different episode of his podcast.

Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas swatted during live broadcast YouTube: H3 PodcastEthan Klein of comedy duo H3H3 and YouTube star Trisha Paytas were victims of a swatting attempt, which occurred live during a March 23 broadcast — but Klein didn’t seem fazed by the incident, at all. In the age of social media, swatting is becoming all too common an occurrence for high-profile content creators, who are often targeted by disgruntled critics or internet trolls. Swatting refers to a very serious type of harassment, in which someone will deceive an emergency dispatcher to send a large amount of armed law enforcement officers to someone’s home under the guise of immediate danger, claiming a murder, robbery, or other such crime is taking place. These types of calls have resulted in serious injury and even death to the intended target, and are even criminal offenses in the United States and Brazil — but that isn’t stopping some angry critics from repeatedly swatting Ethan Klein. During a March 23 episode of their “Frenemies” podcast, H3H3’s Ethan Klein and YouTuber Trisha Paytas were swatted, resulting in a surprisingly chill phone call between Klein and law enforcement that went down as fans were watching. “Yeah, we’re okay,” Klein said after answering the phone. “I know we’re just — I keep getting swatted, so… yeah, everything’s just fine over here. Thanks for calling!” “We just got swatted,” he laughingly told Paytas after hanging up. “It’s been happening so much now that they just call me and be like, ‘Are you okay? We just got a call.’ Because then, if I don’t answer, they have to come.” “I’m just trying to be calm about it,” he continued. “Obviously, it’s annoying. It’s happening like, a lot. But at least now, it’s like, cool. They call me immediately, but if I don’t answer, they come.” As Klein stated, this is far from the first time he’s been swatted; the comedian has been the victim of such attempts numerous times in the past, the latest when his mother-in-law was visiting from Israel. Luckily, Klein has good rapport with his local authorities, although that doesn’t make the situation any less grim for him and his family.

Ethan Dolan engaged to longtime girlfriend Kristina Alice Instagram: kristinaalice1YouTube star Ethan Dolan is now engaged to longtime girlfriend Kristina Alice, and fans couldn’t be happier for the couple. Ethan Dolan is one half of the Dolan Twins, a prominent YouTube duo who gained immense popularity in the 2010’s. However, following the death of their father in 2019, the Twins made a big change to their upload schedule and eventually claimed they were “moving on” from YouTube content in 2021. Since then, the pair have been quiet on social media… but in 2023, they returned to social media with an announcement that they’re working on a short film called ‘Nothing Left to Give.’ YouTube star Ethan Dolan engaged to girlfriend Kristina Alice It turns out that isn’t the end of their big announcements for the year, either. Just over a week later, Kristina Alice — longtime girlfriend of Ethan Dolan — revealed that she and her boo have officially gotten engaged. Alice broke the news in an Instagram post on July 31, showing a photo of herself with her arms wrapped around Ethan’s neck with her ring on full display. Alice called it the “most special moment of my life” — and fans are definitely in agreement. The post’s comment section is filled to the brim with happy messages congratulating the couple on their upcoming nuptials. “Kicking my feet in the air right now,” one fan wrote. “This just made my day.” “My jaw just dropped to the floor,” another said. “Oh my goodness, I’m screaming!” another commented. Although Ethan and Kristina were rumored to have been involved as far back as 2018, the couple officially started dating in 2019. It’s been nearly four years that they’ve been together, and fans couldn’t be happier that this duo is set on tying the knot. This is the latest happy news to come from a long-term YouTube couple after Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg welcomed his son ‘Bjorn’ with wife Marzia earlier this month.

Ethan Dolan has emotional reunion with long-distance girlfriend YouTube: Dolan TwinsPopular YouTuber Ethan Dolan has revealed on Instagram the details of his long-term relationship with girlfriend Kristina Alice, who he reconnected with this week after spending most of quarantine apart. [jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] Ethan and his twin Grayson originally rose to popularity on the video app Vine in 2013, and have since gone on to produce content on their highly successful YouTube channel with over 11 million subscribers. While they have many adoring fans, they haven’t been exempt from drama, such as earlier in July when they were forced to address a homophobic slur used when explaining the bullying they received in high school. In the same month, Ethan released a video detailing how comments online about his acne had severely affected his well-being in the past year. Last week Ethan revealed his girlfriend to the world on YouTube with his brother Grayson. After spending months apart Kristine was finally able to catch a flight out to Los Angeles from Australia where she lives. On Monday, Ethan stunned his fans by posting a series of close, romantic pictures to his Instagram alongside an emotional message, which read: “To say the least, this has been a chaotic, stressful, weird, confusing, uneasy year. But because it was spent with the smartest – most caring -best sense of humor having – so pretty I get stunned every time I look at – perfect woman in the world, it has been the best year of my life.” He explained that last December was “one of the most emotionally exhausting months of my life” and attributed his success and ability to get through to her support. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQvtUEgojF/ He added, “When we were forced to quarantine together and be attached at the hip for an additional 5 months longer than we planned… I wasn’t even mad. When you had to go back to Australia without knowing when we’d be able to see each other again it was NOT CHILL. Although we unintentionally spent 4 months on opposite sides of the globe with a 17 hour time difference… I still felt closer than ever to you.” “The hours on FaceTime everyday and random gift care packages were fun. You completely took over my camera roll because I couldn’t help but screenshot your face every couple of seconds. Getting a little part of you tattooed on my arm also contributed to you feeling closer to me I guess.” It seems as though Ethan will have more to say in the next few days after he labeled the caption only part 1 of 3. For now, the YouTuber has confirmed to the world that not only is he in a far better place than he was last year, but that he is well and truly taken.

Esports lawyer explains how Tfue’s lawsuit could damage FaZe Clan Tfue/Twitch, Banks/TwitterTurner ‘Tfue’ Tenney’s lawsuit against the FaZe Clan organization made headlines this week, leaving people questioning how a scandal this big will affect the industry. Fortnite Battle Royale pro player Tfue filed the Complaint against FaZe Clan on May 20, stating that he was under an ‘oppressive’ contract that allowed the organization to take 80% of his earnings made from branded content posted to social media. There were also allegations of underage drinking and that pressure was put on an 11-year-old to lie about his age so that he could play. Lawsuits of this size aren’t a common feat in this industry so it’s unsurprising that the biggest question on people’s lips is ‘how will all of this end?’ Roger Quiles, an attorney specializing in esports, tells us how the vast majority of lawsuits like this never make it to the courtroom because it’s easier to resolve cases outside of court so a settlement between Tfue and FaZe could happen “though it is still far too early to tell.” If they did reach a settlement agreement, it would put the situation to bed right there and then, which is the simplest outcome. FaZe Clan’s response to today’s press article regarding Tfue: pic.twitter.com/eVdRVMnRpl — FaZe Clan (@FaZeClan) May 20, 2019 But then there are the allegations of underage drinking and pressuring an 11-year-old to lie about his age, both being violations of the Talent Agency Act. Claims like that carry hefty weight and if found to be true, could have devastating consequences for FaZe Clan. “The reference to underage drinking and other dangerous/illegal acts being encouraged is another way of attacking FaZe’s contract on the Talent Agency Act grounds,” Quiles explains. “Several statues in the Act reference specific kinds of activities that Agents cannot engage in.” FaZe owner Ricky ‘FaZe Banks‘ Banks appeared on Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem’s Drama Alert after the suit was filed and admitted that he knew underage drinking occured at the FaZe house in Hollywood. This doesn’t exactly look good for FaZe Clan and only serves to back up Tfue’s claim. “Generally, it’s not the best of ideas for an owner to discuss elements of ongoing litigation, especially on social media,” Quiles states. “These statements can certainly be used against you in court if the opportunity arises. If, and how, they’re used, will determine the impact of Banks’ statement.” It is impossible to say what would happen to FaZe Clan if Tfue won the lawsuit, whether they could simply afford to compensate him and move on, or whether it would harm their reputation beyond repair is unknown. When questioned on FaZe’s future, Quiles simply said that it’s unrealistic to expect to know that now and that “we’ll need to see how things continue to play out first until the fate of FaZe is determined.”

Esports community reacts to outrage at Overwatch League playoffs on ABC DVS Gaming, Blizzard / 20th Century Fox (Disney)Stage One of the Overwatch League finals broadcasted on ABC in what many considered to be esports’ first foray into mainstream television – but some viewers weren’t happy with the development. Esports analyst Rod Breslau uploaded a slew of outrageous reactions to ABC’s programming on Twitter, with some users vehemently decrying the esport being shown on TV. “You know the kids are screwed!” one critic wrote. “…out of shape kids with tiny balls and girls who have more testosterone than the boys. Over watch.” IT HAS BEGUN AGAIN, NOW FT FACEBOOK pic.twitter.com/yto9d3ZXH8 — Rod Breslau (@Slasher) March 24, 2019 “THIS IS THE END!” another bemoaned. “You have got to be kidding me! Your network has FRICKING KIDS PLAYING VIDEO GAMES on Sunday. FOR 3 PHKING HOURS?” The esports community had a range of reactions to the hate, with MLG co-founder Michael Sepso comparing criticism of OWL’s spot on ABC to hate toward extreme sports and rap music. I truly love the hate. Adding it to greatest hits like “this rapping is just shouting words, it isn’t music!” And “skateboarding and bmx is a kids’ hobby, not a sport!” And my all time fave from my gran around 1995 “I don’t know what the internet is, but I know it’s scary!” pic.twitter.com/BV8o7JWjAF — Michael Sepso (@msepso) March 23, 2019 “I truly love the hate,” Sepso wrote. “Adding it to greatest hits like, ‘This rapping is just shouting words, it isn’t music!’ and ‘skateboarding and BMX is a kids’ hobby, not a sport!’” “YES!!!” wrote Hearthstone champ and caster Petr Žalud. “NORMIES OF THE WORLD, PREPARE FOR US!!!” It is worth noting that much of the outrage around OWL’s TV spot is centered around March Madness, a major basketball tournament that airs throughout the month of March.

Esfand under fire for using phone while driving in Twitch IRL stream Instagram: EsfandTVOTK co-founder and Twitch streamer Esfand has received waves of criticism after he appeared to use his phone while driving his car on Jinnytty’s stream. Twitch often takes a no-tolerance policy when it comes to streamers doing dangerous activities. with “distracted driving” counted by the site as “self-destructive behaviour” that could result in a ban. And several streamers in the past have been caught out for using phones while driving. Popular IRL streamer JakeNBakelive was banned in March for the offense, while Adin Ross was banned for two days in July for texting and driving in his Lamborghini. WoW streamer Esfand is the latest to enter the firing line, after he appeared to use his phone while driving on friend Jinnytty’s stream. While it’s unclear whether Esfand was looking for directions or reading chat, responses to the situation were largely condemnatory towards him, with viewers concerned he might be putting others at risk. “Why on earth can’t these streamers buy those accessories that mount their phones up on the dashboard? Or better yet, get a Sat Nav…” Redditor 3r0nic said. And user Badjourasmix commented: “I like Esfand a lot, but yeah this is stupid and he should be banned like all the other streamers who got banned for doing the same thing.” Comment byu/Trigod7 from discussion inLivestreamFail Twitch has typically handed out 7-day bans for this type of offense in the past, though in the cases of Ross and JakeNBake the bans were lifted after just two days. And while the site’s TOS state: “You must respect all applicable local, national, and international laws while using our services,” there is no law in Texas that explicitly bans using mobile phones while driving, meaning any potential ban would come under self-destructive behavior. Both Esfand and Twitch are yet to comment publicly on the situation, but we will update this piece should new information surface.

EsfandTV in hysterics as The Office hijacks stream with perfect timing Twitch/EsfandTV/NBCTwitch streamer EsfandTV had his broadcast brilliantly interrupted in the best way possible by Michael Scott from The Office. During an October 5 stream, the Twitch star started watching a new video by YouTube music sensation Albert ‘sleightlymusical’ Chang. The video, titled “hey it’s been a while,” features Chang explaining what he’s been up to after his public breakup with Lily ‘LilyPichu’ Ki after being unfaithful to her. At one point during the humorous video, Chang explains how he couldn’t get a dog because his landlord wouldn’t allow it, so he did the “next best thing” and got some yeast. After discussing how he raised the yeast, gave it baths, and took it for walks, Chang jumped tone drastically and revealed how he could “eat him” and plunged a fork into the jar. Hilariously, while Esfand was watching the video, at this exact moment, the streamer’s broadcast started playing the infamous Michael Scott “God no” voice line from The Office. The sound clip is from the ninth episode of season five “Frame Toby” where Michael Scott’s most-hated coworker Toby returns to the show and starts angrily yelling “no” over and over. The perfectly-timed voice line left Esfand in hysterics as he laughed so hard he found himself rolling back in his chair trying to catch his breath. Even moments later, he was still at a loss from words and reeling from the well-timed Twitch alert as his hand covered his mouth in an effort to cleanse his case of the giggles. Esfand’s chat was pretty impressed too, with many users spamming “timing” and “omegalul” – a sign that it was greatly received for those watching live. It’s not every day that the timing on Twitch works out so great, but this was one instance that probably won’t be topped for some time.

Esfand rushed to hospital on first day in South Korea Twitch: EsfandTwitch streamer Esfand has been rushed to hospital after having an accident on the very first day of his trip to South Korea. Esfand was traveling alongside his friends Mizkif, Emily ‘Emiru’ Schunk, ‘AustinShow,’ and ‘PhinTTV’ when he had an unfortunate run-in with an arcade machine. Mizkif sent fans into an excited frenzy when he announced that he was planning on going to South Korea alongside his friends and fellow creators- Esfand, Emiru, Austin, and Phin. Keeping fans in the loop about their travels, the group posted a series of tweets showing their excitement about their adventure. However, it all came to an abrupt halt for Esfand who had to be rushed to the emergency room after he “chipped a bone” while playing against an arcade machine. Esfand loses fight against arcade machine As Mizkif began his stream live from South Korea, he explained to confused fans that Esfand would be taking a few days away from the camera. The reason being was that he was in hospital after chipping a bone in his hand. Mizkif explained that he and Esfand were facing off against each other to see who could throw the hardest punch on an arcade game. However, Esfand made an unfortunate error in his crushing hit. “He punches up with an open fist and immediately starts grabbing his thumb,” Austin claimed. “Next thing you know, we’re in a taxi to a Korean hospital […] Esfand gets a scan and he chipped a bone in this thumb.” At the time of the livestream, the group was waiting to hear if Esfand would need surgery to fix the issue. Mizkif then joked: “Esfand, chat, maybe getting surgery in Korea, which is an entire stream in itself so get excited.” Esfand then took to Twitter to give worried fans an update about his condition. Posting an X-ray of the breakage, he proved that he is powering through the incident, saying he was still a “gladiator.” According to Mizkif and his friends, it will be a few more days before Esfand can make a speedy recovery and join them on their travels through South Korea. Although, it’s likely they will avoid any more arcades.

Esfand stunned after meeting hilarious Dr Disrespect lookalike at tailgate Twitch/Esfand/GFuelTwitch streamer Esfand’s experience at a tailgate in Austin, Texas turned crazy when he met a man who looked exactly like Dr Disrespect… sort of. On September 4, the streamer was at the University of Texas filming a tailgate party when he suddenly met a man with a mullet and sunglasses, two things synonymous with the two-time’s appearance. While the upper portion of the man was very similar to Dr Disrespect, this individual had his belly exposed and was a few pounds too heavy to perform a 37-inch vertical leap. Still, Esfand felt like he had to speak to the man, who introduced himself and explained that he was at the tailgate to promote his company, Drinkin Bros. https://twitter.com/WickedGoodGames/status/1434670348969070599 “Have you heard of Dr Disrespect?” Esfand asked. “Yes, I’ve been called that guy a lot,” he revealed. “People call me him all the time! One guy was like, ‘hey, f**k you, Dr Disrespect!’” This comment got a big laugh out of Esfand, because of just how weird of an interaction that must have been for the man who had no idea who Doc was at the time. “I turned around and I’m like, ‘oh I’m sorry!’ Like, I don’t even know what that means,” he continued. It’s not just Doc who the man gets mistaken for either. In another revelation, the guy explained how he got called Kenny Powers, a character from Eastbound & Down. “Danny McBride, you know that guy?” the man asked. “From Pineapple Express? Someone did the same thing, he’s like ‘f**k you, you Danny McBride-looking motherf**ker!’ I’m just chilling and drinking a beer, like ‘Okay, thanks. Sorry!’” It’s wild to imagine constantly being mistaken for popular streamers and actors, especially under these circumstances, but that’s what the man said he had to deal with. Just goes to show that you can find some entertaining characters at tailgates. Needless to say, this was easily one of the most entertaining parts of Esfand’s broadcast.

Erobb221 banned on Twitch while at QTCinderella’s Shitcamp event Twitch: Erobb221Twitch streamer Erobb221 has been banned from the platform. This is allegedly due to him threatening one of his chatters, according to Erobb himself on Myth’s YouTube stream. Erobb is a long-time streamer on Twitch, with a variety of different gaming and IRL content keeping his more than 400k followers entertained over the years. The younger brother of popular League of Legends streamer Tyler1, Erobb has built up a very strong stream in his own right — but that might have been impeded after copping a ban from the Amazon-owned platform on Thursday, September 8. Erobb is currently at the Shitcamp event organized by QTCinderella, with his stream the night prior to this ban ending in disaster after capsizing a kayak. This ban means that he will be unable to appear in any other Twitch streams of creators at Shitcamp for the duration of his suspension, due to Twitch’s rules around banned individuals. Erobb admits to threatening a Twitch viewer While twitch hasn’t given Erobb an official reason for his ban, he seems to be convinced that it’s because of some choice words he had for one of his chatters. According to Erobb, he was in his offline chat when he said to a viewer “I cannot wait to see you at Twitch con, I’m going to beat the f*** out of you”, followed by Zoil bursting into laughter and asking, “why would you say that?” An entire reddit thread shed some light on what Erobb said in his Twitch chat. It isn’t possible to verify the authenticity of any screenshots due to the ban, but a user in the thread posted a screenshot from Erobb’s chat logs with very similar wording to what he said on stream. The viewer Erobb allegedly threatened, who goes by the moniker Lunn, is a known figure in Erobb’s community. This is by no means confirmed as the official reason he’s been barred from the platform. But, Erobb’s alleged behavior is directly against Twitch TOS and would be fair grounds for a ban from the platform.

Erobb221 signs with TSM in shock announcement Instagram: Erobb221TSM has just announced that they have signed popular Twitch streamer Erobb221 to the organization in a shock announcement on Twitter. Over the last few years, TSM has continued to grow its lineup of content creators, with Twitch streamer QTCinderella joining forces with them in September 2021. Now, In an announcement on October 17, 2022, TSM has revealed that they have joined forces with Erobb2011. As the brother of Twitch star Tyler1, Erobb and TSM decided to throw fans for a bit of a loop. TSM confuses fans with Erobb221 announcement video As the video begins, it shows Tyler1 with a voiceover describing him. “Isn’t he perfect? A six foot five alpha male freak of nature. Do you see that steel titan neck? Not to mention those huge, huge, biceps,” the voiceover said, right before Tyler turns around. “Who are you?” It then cuts to someone wearing another shirt, who we quickly learn is Erobb221, the latest content creator for the org. Fans of the org replied to the tweet, expressing that they thought TSM had signed Tyler1, while dozens of others just express their love for the video. “I almost thought yall signed Tyler1 foreal lmaooo. This was gold,” one said. Another replied: “DUDE! I thought it really was gonna be T1 for a sec!!!!!! Erobb is the smaller creator of the two, with just over 400k followers on Twitch compared to Tyler1’s five million. If his signing to TSM is any indication though, he’s doing just fine for himself.

Erika Costell throws subtle shade toward Jake Paul & Tana’s wedding YouTube stars Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau shocked the internet with a live-streamed wedding after just two months of publicly dating – but other top YouTubers aren’t convinced their union is legit. While both Jake and Tana insist that “Jana” is the real deal, speculation continues to run rampant across the online world concerning the validity of their marriage. Despite admitting that they aren’t married “on paper,” it doesn’t look like the couple is giving up their charade anytime soon – but Jake Paul’s ex-girlfriend, Erika Costell, appears to see through what could be a mere stunt for views. During an episode of “Under the Influence” with Tom Ward, the YouTuber-turned model mentioned her own Vegas marriage to ex-boyfriend Jake Paul – a union she blatantly called “fake.” “I didn’t think that was going to happen,” Erika said of the massive following she received due to her relationship with Paul. “But ‘Jerika’ or whatever was already a thing in his vlogs, so his audience knew who I was. So, that really helped, and we also got fake married in Vegas. Sounds a little familiar.” That’s not all: Costell also speculated that the couple had created their fake marriage to stir up “controversy” for views and attention, for which she expressed some concern regarding its lastability. “I think they like the controversy,” she continued. “I think it gets them going. I don’t know, because I don’t do it, but to each their own. It’s working, yeah. Back then, it was nice to wake up and have instant gratification, and I think what they’re doing is instant. …I feel like it’s just repetitive. But it’s working, so whatever.” While both Jake and Tana have yet to react to Costell’s comments, this marks the first time Erika has openly spoken out about the issue following her breakup with Paul – as well as their infamous lunchtime meetup after the big wedding. However, Mongeau did tease a potential “scandal out of boredom” in a cryptic Tweet on November 18, but whether or not this marks a reaction to Costell’s shade remains to be seen.

Erika Costell’s single ‘Dynamite’ may hint at new relationship with Jake Paul GotCeleb.com / Shortyawards.comPopular YouTuber, model, and music artist Erika Costell released her new single, ‘Dynamite,’ on December 26 – and the song appears to detail her turbulent relationship with ex-boyfriend Jake Paul. The music video for Costell’s single features a slew of footage taken from vlogs during her time together with Paul, paired with lyrics that have fans wondering if she wants to get back together with the controversial social media star. “Got matching tattoos / only would do it with you,” the song reads, referencing Costell’s matching ‘GOAT’ tattoo with Paul. “There’s always higher places / there’s always bigger things / but it don’t feel as good as having you next to me.” Costell likewise Tweeted out the song’s lyrics on December 26, prompting an outpouring of emotional responses from fans – as well as speculation that ‘Jerkia’ might be making a comeback. Despite this sudden, reminiscent love song from Costell, she recently confirmed that she is not currently in the dating scene, answering with a decisive “Oh, hell no” when asked if she had a boyfriend in a Q & A video on December 19. Costell’s single marks a surprising response to her breakup with Jake, following a string of vague Tweets in light of Paul’s rather transparent posts. Paul divulged major details about his split with Erika in his ‘Jake Paul Uncut’ docuseries, claiming that they both “knew how to hurt each other” – and even admitted that he’d had plans to give her a promise ring.

Erling Haaland admits he’s a gamer after breaking scoring record but the game is “embarrassing” Wikimedia commonsManchester City striker Erling Haaland admitted to being a gamer when asked about what he does after each match. The Norwegian striker has been a sensation this year having scored 35 goals in 31 games in the Premier League alone. In Man City’s 3-0 win against West Ham on May 3, Haaland scored a goal that made him the most prolific striker in any Premier League season. The previous record was held by Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole both scoring 34 goals. Following that performance against The Hammers, Haaland revealed his post-game routine includes a gaming session. Haaland plays games in evenings after matches Speaking to Sky Sports, Erling Haaland admitted to playing his fair share of video games. The Man City star revealed his interest in the hobby after being asked about his chances of beating Dixie Dean’s record of scoring 61 goals in all competitions set in 1928. Asked about the record Haaland said: “Now I’m going to sleep on this game and then I wake up tomorrow and think about trying to get three points here against Leeds. It will not be easy with a new manager and everything but we cannot keep thinking about these records.” Continuing on Haaland revealed what he does when he gets home: “I will become crazy in my head so I don’t think of this. I will go home now and play some video games, eat something, and then sleep.” Sky Sports lead football presenter David Jones then asked Haaland what games he plays with the Norwegian forward joking: “I cannot say it’s too embarrassing.” With 51 goals scored in all competitions, Haaland needs to score 13 goals in a maximum of just nine games to break Dean’s record. Those nine games consist of Man City’s remaining five Premier League games, the FA Cup final, and three Champions League games if they beat Real Madrid in the semi-final.

Erika Costell reveals the truth behind meetup with Jake Paul YouTube stars Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul tied the knot in a live streamed Las Vegas wedding this July – but fans called Paul’s loyalty into question after he was seen with ex-girlfriend Erika Costell a few weeks later. In spite of his viral wedding at Las Vegas’ Graffiti Mansion, the Team 10 founder was spotted grabbing lunch with YouTuber-turned-model Erika Costell shortly thereafter, with photos of the two spreading like wildfire across the net. While Paul originally denied being in the photos, he later backtracked on this statement, claiming that he and Costell were merely “friends” in spite of wife Tana’s decidedly negative response to the meetup. However, Erika tells a somewhat different story, finally opening up on the drama in a Q & A video on December 9. According to the model, she’d met with her ex-boyfriend as a part of the healing process in recovering from their breakup in 2018, claiming that she hoped to “forgive” him and move on. “I know there’s been a couple situations where people have seen us together, or the San Diego photo came out,” she said of the issue. “For me, it’s just a part of growing up and healing and becoming a stronger person.” Costell also addressed the mass speculation regarding their meetup, saying, “It’s healing and moving on. And if I’m able to do that for myself and if that’s something I’m comfortable with doing, I don’t really care what other people have to say about it.” (Subject begins at 16:36 for mobile readers.) The YouTuber also addressed fans’ queries concerning her thoughts on Mongeau, which follow some not-so-subtle shade thrown by Costell in regards to her sudden wedding to Jake Paul. “I don’t really think about Tana,” she admitted. “I don’t have a problem with Tana. I obviously think it’s extremely disrespectful for someone to make digs at someone for absolutely no reason. …to each their own, and it takes all kinds to make the world go round.” Although it’s unclear exactly what “digs” Costell is referencing, her measured response comes after months of silence on the subject – but with Mongeau on a current social media hiatus, fans are left waiting for her potential reply to Erika’s comments on the matter.

Erika Costell shares reaction to being spotted at Super Bowl with Jake Paul Following controversial YouTuber Jake Paul’s reunion with ex-girlfriend Erika Costell at the Super Bowl in Atlanta, Costell has shared a surprisingly positive reaction to their viral photo. Paul and Costell dated throughout most of 2018 before calling it quits back in November, with Paul describing the split as “heartbreaking.” Despite seemingly changing his tune in the weeks following the breakup by saying it was a “toxic relationship,” Paul has since made it clear that he’s not over Costell, even attempting to get in touch with her on New Year’s Eve. All of Paul’s attempts at reconciliation clearly paid off given the pair were spotted together at Super Bowl on February 3. Damn @erikacostell & @jakepaul back together too? Both at Super Bowl! pic.twitter.com/tMvB4aT5CY — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) February 4, 2019 Drama Alert host Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem was the first to bring up the supposed reunion, posting the above picture on Twitter. While neither Paul nor Costell initially had any sort of response to the picture, Costell has since opened up in the form of a comment on Instagram. Replying to YouTuber Anthony Trujillo, Costell says “we look so good here,” prompting many to see it as a positive sign in her relationship with Paul. Paul has still refrained from commenting on the meetup at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, seemingly focused on his escalating beef with Soulja Boy. Soulja Boy and Paul have been taking shots at each other for the last week and following a heated Instagram Live discussion on February 3, the pair have seemingly set up plans for a boxing match at some point in the future.

Erika Costell responds to concerns over her sudden weight loss Erika Costell, Instagram – YouTubePopular YouTuber, model, and music artist Erika Costell has finally opened up about her weight loss, which saw criticism and concern alike throughout her fanbase. Costell addressed the issue in a vlog on January 28, claiming that she is not suffering from an eating disorder and is not taking any special “diet pills” or supplements to help her lose weight. Instead, Costell attributed her recent weight loss to stress and anxiety from the past few months – likely in reference to her breakup with controversial YouTuber Jake Paul in early November of 2018. “Being completely honest, I’ve been going through a lot of changes that have caused me a lot of anxiety and stress the past couple of months,” Costell explained. “This is not abnormal for my body whatsoever.” Costell went on to state that her weight often fluctuates often depending on her anxiety levels, which she admitted have been fairly high as of late. “I will say, my anxiety the past few months is the worst it’s ever, ever been,” she continued. “That is the truth behind my weight loss.” Costell’s weight was previously addressed by Drama Alert host Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem, who compared the model to YouTuber Eugenia Cooney (who is widely speculated to suffer from bulimia or anorexia). still body shaming in 2019? keem you’re a piece of trash. this girl is drop dead gorgeous regardless if we’re together or not.. you deserve to be dragged for this.. dear internet, why tf do you allow this, but then turn into ruthless animals when I put a blindfold on? https://t.co/2dEmO5zdLP — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) January 15, 2019 Despite their current beef, Paul defended Costell against KEEM’s comments, calling the host a “piece of trash” for insinuating that Costell suffered from an eating disorder – as well as calling Costell “gorgeous” despite their breakup.

Erika Costell reveals relationship status after Jake Paul cheating rumors Erika Costell, YouTubeYouTuber, model, and music artist Erika Costell parted ways with Team 10 co-founder Jake Paul in November 2018 – but that wasn’t the end of their contact, with the two being spotted together nearly a year later after his marriage to Tana Mongeau. Despite her initial silence on the subject, Costell has finally opened up about her relationship status in wake of the sighting: and it doesn’t look like she’s diving into the dating scene anytime soon, in spite of being “open” to the idea. “No boyfriend, I’m still single,” she answered during a Q&A session on October 10. “…I’m open to the idea of dating somebody, not just being completely cut off from guys. But I’m also very, very busy and I don’t have a lot of my time to give.” (Timestamp: 10:38 for mobile viewers.) Why was Jake Paul seen with Erika Costell? Jake Paul tied the knot with Mongeau on July 28 after two months of publicly dating the MTV starlet, prompting speculation across the web as to the legitimacy of their wedding. However, rumors of infidelity quickly surrounded the couple, after Paul was spotted grabbing lunch with ex-girlfriend Costell mere weeks later. Photos of their meeting quickly went viral across social media, with Costell herself refusing to answer any questions regarding their meetup and Paul himself denying even being in the damning pictures. Erika isn’t the only ones giving fans an update in light of the Jake Paul drama: both Paul and Mongeau uploaded an update video in late September, where they explained their social media silence following their marriage. According to the couple, they’d both been busy in the weeks after the ceremony, with Mongeau handling a family emergency and Paul working on upcoming music videos. “…there was so much momentum up until this wedding, and then you get married, and it’s like, ‘Now what?’” Tana explained. “…all of these emergencies happened, and obviously Jake’s life still kept going, and that left so much room for the public to scrutinize.” No matter fans’ fears, it doesn’t look like “Jana” are splitting up anytime soon – and Erika Costell is still single, with her hectic schedule apparently putting her love life on the back burner.

Erika Costell hits back at Alissa Violet comments with subtle shade Instagram: Erika Costell, Alissa VioletYouTuber and model Erika Costell is hitting back at fellow influencer Alissa Violet’s shady comments about her with some subtle shade of her own, and the internet is grabbing their popcorn. Alissa Violet and Erika Costell have a not-so-friendly history between them. Both women are models and influencers, and were once involved in Jake Paul’s Team 10 organization — and both are now his ex-girlfriends. Paul broke things off with Alissa Violet in 2017 and dated Erika Costell shortly thereafter, although he later split up from Costell in 2018 to begin dating Tana Mongeau. After her split from Jake, Alissa made some biting comments about Costell, once comparing her career to a dead cockroach — and she’s throwing shade her way once again, after appearing in an October 28 episode of the BFFS podcast. Alissa Violet shades Erika Costell on BFFS Podcast During the podcast, Violet pretended not to know who Costell was when asked about her, channeling her inner Mariah Carey. She later elaborated about her feelings on the subject, saying: “She was Jake’s assistant, and then it turned out they were banging the whole time. She was my best friend, and now it’s just like, ‘Ehh, you’re gross.’” (Topic begins at 15:22) Erika Costell hits back at Alissa Violet shade It looks like Violet’s comments caught up to Costell, who sent back a low-key reply via her Instagram stories. In the post, Erika shared an image of Violet promoting her Akira athletic clothing line from the official Akira Instagram page. It seems like Violet really does know who Costell is, after all… but she made it clear that she doesn’t mean to “hate anyone” or “burn bridges” in the BFFS podcast after explaining her unsavory opinion toward the model. Violet later posted a tweet that could be a response to Erika’s Instagram callout, writing: “Oh my god, the power when you just do not care anymore.” oh my god the power when you just do not care anymore — alissa violet (@AlissaViolet) October 29, 2021 It’s unclear where this unexpected beef will go next, but with Jake Paul’s latest boxing venture having been announced, some fans are wanting these two to throw down in the ring to sort out their years-long feud.

Erika Costell opens up about dating after breakup with Jake Paul HawtCelebs / ClevverTVYouTuber and model Erika Costell has finally opened up about her prospects in love after her split with controversial social media star Jake Paul, giving a fairly scathing response to any notion of a potential partner. Costell uploaded a Q & A video on December 19, where she responded to a fan’s query asking if she was currently seeing someone. Costell clapped back at the question with a decisive, “Oh, hell no,” ultimately shutting down any rumors of secret relationships. The model also opened up about her current string of vague Tweets, which some fans have speculated may be directed at both Paul and his ex-girlfriend, YouTuber Alissa Violet. Costell claimed that she felt she “deserves to vague Tweet” due to her pent-up emotions, admitting that she has both good days and bad days, alike. “Some days I’m really great and some days I’m not at all,” she explained. “I cry a lot, but great.” it’s crazy that there are people out there who do/say things just to hurt others…like damn satan who hurt you? — Erika Costell (@erikacostell) December 21, 2018 Costell may have also hit back at Violet’s scathing roast during her vlog of her trip to Mexico, where she compared Costell’s career to a dead cockroach. Erika published a Tweet on December 20 that could mark a response to the insult, writing, “It’s crazy that there are people out there who do/say things just to hurt others… like, damn Satan, who hurt you?” While Violet has yet to respond to Costell’s Tweet, Jake Paul may have stepped into the feud, publishing his own, cryptic statement where he wished he could “set his emotions on fire” so they would “disappear forever” – although it is uncertain if his Tweet was directed at Costell or not. I wish I could set my emotions on fire & burn them & stomp on them & then flush them down the toilet so they disappear forever #relatable #darktweets — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) December 16, 2018

Erika Costell disses Jake Paul with cryptic Tweet Jake Paul, Erika Costell – InstagramControversial YouTuber Jake Paul threw some shade at ex-girlfriend and model Erika Costell on his Instagram story, and Erika shot back in kind – just ahead of his birthday on January 17. Paul posted a picture to his Instagram story with a speech bubble above his head, which read, “I mean, yeah, she was hot, but like, idk if I needed her as much as I thought I did.” Costell appeared to hit back at the picture with a cryptic Tweet on January 16, where she posted a picture of the definition of the word ‘insanity.’ “Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,” the picture read. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hpz16PGhbEThis latest exchange follows a series of subtweets between the ex-couple earlier in January, after Erika Costell unfollowed the “mini Erika” and “mini Jake Paul” (otherwise known as Tydus Talbott) on Twitter upon watching Jake Paul’s “breakup” video featuring the two tots. Paul hit back at Costell’s social media moves with a scathing Tweet, saying, “It’s sad that unfollowing someone is actually a meaningful currency for you… check yourself.” Paul appeared to follow up this statement with another Tweet, which read, “100% confirmed to be the person who I so hoped & prayed you wouldn’t be.” While Erika has been decidedly silent on their breakup (answering with a simple “Oh, hell no” when asked if she was currently seeing anyone), Paul has spoken out on the issue in his ‘Jake Paul Uncut’ documentary series – as well as calling Erika up for a failed New Year’s Eve kiss. It’s sad that unfollowing someone is actually a meaningful currency for you.. check yourself — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) January 15, 2019 100% confirmed to be the person who I so hoped & prayed you wouldn’t be:gasp: — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) January 15, 2019

Erika Costell finally breaks silence on her breakup with Jake Paul Erika Costell, Instagram / Jake Paul, WMEYouTuber, model, and music artist Erika Costell has finally spoken out about her breakup with controversial social media star Jake Paul, as seen in a short conversation with the Hollywood Fix. Costell was met with an interviewer from the Fix outside of a shopping mall on November 23, where she was asked about her upcoming moves following her breakup with the youngest Paul brother. Costell nonchalantly addressed her split with Paul at the cameraman’s behest, claiming that the breakup was, indeed, for real. She likewise admitted that she and YouTuber Alissa Violet (also ex-girlfriend to Jake Paul) would likely never rekindle their friendship after the debacle, which followed Shane Dawson’s documentary series covering Paul’s tumultuous relationship with Violet by nearly a month. “I don’t think so,” Costell said on the matter, replying “yes,” when asked if “that ship had already sailed.” Costell also revealed that she has several new projects in the works, including new music, telling her followers to “stay tuned” for more information. 600https://www.girlfriend.com.au/jake-paul-fake-relationship-erika-costell Jake Paul announced his split with Costell in a Tweet on November 7, following a whirlwind of breakup rumors surrounding the couple. While sources close to Paul have since revealed that he is looking for another serious relationship, Instagram model Nikki Banner admitted that he had been texting other women the morning after their hookup in late October. YouTuber KSI has likewise been involved in the drama, calling out Logan Paul in response to the breakup Tweet and dissing Jake during an episode of the Sidemen’s “What’s Good?” podcast. He has since followed Costell on Instagram, as well; while Costell has yet to follow him back, it looks as if she’s focusing on her own career in the interim.

Erika Costell and Tana Mongeau apologize for “insensitive” party video Instagram: tanamongeau, erikacostellPopular YouTube stars Erika Costell and Tana Mongeau have come out with apologies after a party video of them saying they “don’t care” at a party was deemed insensitive. A number of high profile YouTubers, TikTok stars and other online personalities have been called out in recent weeks for ignoring guideline measures as set out due to the ongoing global health situation. Tana and Erika are the latest to come under fire after a video of them at a party saw them yelling that they “don’t care” — seemingly about the guidelines set out to help save lives and maintain good health as much as possible. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1287414780420952064?s=20 The pair have now come out shortly after to issue apologies for their action — but have denied allegations that it is in relation to the health crisis, instead saying they were referring to some drama that occurred between the two in the past. Erika was the first to apologize, with a tweet posted late on July 26, saying that she “understands that this came off as offensive during this time.” She then added that it was “insensitive, careless and stupid for me to even be at a party during this,” apologizing to anyone she let down or upset and taking accountability for her actions. https://twitter.com/erikacostell/status/1287568877661036544?s=20 Just a few hour after, Tana posted an apology to her Instagram story, saying that attending a party during this time was “careless and irresponsible.” She also said that she wants to “fully apologize and be better than this,” adding that she “needs to be a better example and person.” Naturally, many were still upset about Tana and Erika’s actions, including YouTuber Mac Kahey who said that they need to “do better” and that “a simple note app apology doesn’t erase the damage.” We’ve been in this for 4 months. We’ve all been in this. We’re all in this together. Your actions through this reflect on us all. If you do something bad, we all look bad. So excuse me when I say a simple note app apology doesn’t erase the damage. Do better or say nothing at all. — mac kahey (@MacDoesIt) July 27, 2020 It seems as though Costell and Mongeau have both learned their lesson and won’t be looking to make mistakes like this again. That said, it’s not clear how much longer this health crisis will be ongoing — so there may be a few missed parties yet.[jwplayer ftb8P7Xy]

Erika Costell refuses to respond questions about Jake Paul following cheating rumors Popular YouTuber Jake Paul tied the knot with MTV starlet Tana Mongeau in late July – but rumors of infidelity were quick to surround the couple, after Paul was spotted with ex-girlfriend Erika Costell just two weeks after his wedding. While Paul himself appeared to deflect any rumors of cheating on Mongeau, that hasn’t stopped curious fans from prying further – nor the paparazzi, for that matter. The Hollywood Fix caught up with Costell as she ran errands in West Hollywood, attempting to ask the YouTuber-turned-model about her relationship with Paul in wake of the rumors. 600“So everybody wants to know, are you and Jake like, officially back together?” the interviewer asked. “Are you guys like, officially dating now?” Rather than answering his questions, Costell said nothing, hopping in her suped-up Jeep with nary a word on the subject. Costell isn’t the only one remaining relatively silent on the matter, either: Jake himself claimed that it wasn’t actually him in the photos of the two that went viral online, denying any possibility of having seen Erika following his marriage to Mongeau. “That’s not me,” Paul said of the matter. “Even if you did think that that is me, like I will admit that does look a lot like me and Erika – it does, it really does. It’s such an unfortunate misconception to say the least.” Even older brother Logan Paul backed him up, claiming that a paparazzi must have used Deepfake technology to place his little bro’s face over another person’s head during an episode of his ‘imPaulsive’ podcast. “Someone was eating lunch with my brother’s ex-girlfriend, Erika Costel, and the whole internet is saying that it was Jake, but… are we sure?” Logan said of the drama, zooming in on the photo. “…this looks like a Deepfake.” (Timestamp: 1:16:58 for mobile viewers.) Whether Jake was actually in the photos or not remains to be seen – but it looks like neither he nor Costell are spilling the beans about their proposed tryst, as evidenced by Costell’s tight-lipped response to curious reporters and fans alike.

Erika Costell debunks Austin McBroom cheating rumors after viral lip liner tweet YouTube: The ACE Family, Erika CostellYouTube star and model Erika Costell has spoken out about rumors regarding herself and Austin McBroom after a video from Tana Mongeau sparked a storm of speculation online. The ACE Family’s Austin McBroom is currently at the center of two purported cheating scandals. One TikToker has claimed that she slept with him in a “secret” Malibu estate, while MTV’s Tana Mongeau alleged that he had cheated with someone who’d left makeup in his car — specifically, a lip liner. In Tana’s story, she claimed that Catherine Paiz — Austin’s wife — had a decidedly negative reaction to finding the makeup in her husband’s car, prompting Austin to call Tana. Tana purportedly took one for the team, telling an upset Catherine that the lip liner was hers. However, Austin rebuffed these claims, stating that the”lipstick” was actually Erika Costell’s, which she had dropped in his vehicle while he was taking both her and Jake Paul back to Paul’s home. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1403863049090453507?ref_src=twsrctfwtwcamptweetembedtwterm1403863049090453507twgrtwcons1_&ref_url=httpswww.dexerto.comentertainmentaustin-mcbroom-shuts-down-lame-cheating-claims-from-tana-mongeau-1593893 Costell clapped back by correcting Austin that it was “lip liner” and jokingly asked if she could have it back. This prompted a storm of speculation and backlash against Costell, who has now clarified the situation in a no-nonsense TikTok. In her video, Costell claims that her tweet response to Austin was “not meant to be taken seriously,” and denied ever having relations of any sort with McBroom. “No, I did not sleep with Austin McBroom,” she clarified. “First of all, there were three of us in his Lambo. We were speeding, we got pulled over for it. There was a sudden stop, and all my s**t flew out of my purse.” “Some of y’all talk too much,” she continued. “I’ve done a lot of cringy things in my life, mainly on the internet. But I don’t do them anymore, and I also don’t lie.” For now, it seems like at least one of the cheating allegations against McBroom has been officially laid to rest — and the mystery of the controversial lip liner finally revealed.

Epic Games responds to Adriana Chechik after streamer was removed from Fortnite event Twitch: adrianachecik_Epic Games apologized to Twitch streamer Adriana Chechik after barring her from participating in a Twitch Rivals Fortnite No Build. Adriana Chechik is a Twitch streamer who has begun making a name for herself as a variety gaming and IRL broadcaster on the platform. Her channel has grown quite rapidly, as she now has over 780k followers on the Amazon-owned platform. Despite her growth in the gaming scene, it seems her ties to the adult industry may still be holding her back from going fully mainstream. Epic Games apologizes after removing streamer from Fortnite event On August 25, she revealed that she was barred from entry to a Twitch Rivals Fortnite No Build event just hours before it was set to kick off. Chechik said that Epic Games stepped in and stopped her from participating citing her prevalence as an adult entertainer. Chechik was visibly disappointed in Epic Games’ decision, and now, the company has offered a response to the decision to remove her. The company replied, “We’re so sorry this happened. The request to Twitch Rivals was to work with you to remove adult references from your stream’s background due to our game’s rating. We have no issue with you participating in events or streaming Fortnite.” Fortnite offered an apology to the streamer and claimed they had no issue with her work outside of Twitch. Hopefully, for Chechik’s sake as a growing Twitch entertainer, she can be properly added to Fortnite & Twitch Rivals events without any more hiccups.

Equinox gym under fire after banning customers from joining in January TIKTOK: equinoxGym club Equinox is facing backlash on social media after banning new members from joining on New Year’s Day. The luxury establishment posted a since-deleted TikTok clip on January 1, sharing the news of its policy to its over 45,000 followers. “When it’s January 1st, but you remember Equinox is not letting new members join today…” the text-overlay on the video read, as a man was seen working out. The gym would later post a follow-up video, explaining why they weren’t accepting any new members on New Year’s Day. “It’s not you, it’s January. January is a fantasy, delivered to your door in a pastel-coloured box. It talks about change. It needs a new outfit before it can begin,” Equinox declared. “Short-cutting, giving up just a few weeks later. You are not a New Year’s resolution. Your life doesn’t start and end at the beginning of the year. And that’s not what being a part of the Equinox is about. “We go beyond what is possible. We defy expectations. We are not moderation. We want it all, every day. And you deserve it all.” Equinox gym faces backlash with new campaign While the gym might have thought they were making a good point, social media users were quick to slam Equinox’s anti-New Year’s resolution campaign. “Poor campaign choices. People already don’t have support systems in place that keep them in the gym, this no New Year’s resolution BS doesn’t help. Do better,” one user wrote. “Equinox charges too much money to be this exclusionary,” another added. “Gyms should really be working hard to make new members feel welcome and not intimidated. This marketing ploy is elitist and gross,” a third commented. “A very weird and terribly hypocritical campaign,” someone else said. Others claimed that they’d canceled their Equinox membership upon seeing the TikTok videos. As of January 2, the gym is accepting new members once again.
