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 \u2018Dad\u2019 Barnatt ahead of his bout with AB at Creator Clash 2. This year\u2019s Creator Clash was well-received by fans and influencers, marking the event\u2019s second iteration in a bigger arena with more fights between some of the internet\u2019s 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 \u2018Dad Bot\u2019) and AB \u2018Starkilla\u2019 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\u2019s Matt Watson from Creator Clash 1, Dad came out on top once again, winning the match by forfeit after damaging one of his opponent\u2019s 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\u2019s Ethan Klein was being \u201creally, unnecessarily mean\u201d to him during the lead-up to their bout. Dad also made a few comments about AB\u2019s boxing, saying the influencer failed to train properly and instead focused on streaming \u2014 in the end, accruing more viewership than him and \u201cwinning\u201d the streaming game over their boxing match. \u201cIt\u2019s also the way the H3 crew reacted [to the fight],\u201d Dad said. \u201cThey 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.\u201d Dad notably called Ethan Klein \u201can actual, crappy person\u201d and said the H3 boss was \u201creally, unnecessarily mean\u201d to him. Although the stream where Dad made these comments has since been deleted, a VOD was captured and shared via YouTuber \u2018Bowblax,\u2019 which you can view below. Klein responded to Dad\u2019s 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 \u2018bit\u2019 between them that appeared to turn sour due to communication problems. AB also expressed confusion around the ordeal, saying he\u2019d trained hard while also maintaining a rigorous streaming schedule on top of his full-time job with H3. He claimed he\u2019d communicated with Dad via DMs, where Dad admitted \u201cit came from a place of him being upset that he trained so hard and I didn\u2019t.\u201d On April 26, Dad published a now-deleted tweet where he publicly apologized to AB for his comments about his opponent\u2019s boxing performance. \u201cI talked to AB and apologized for talking about his training,\u201d he wrote. \u201cNever intended to be rude or hurt his feelings.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s 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\u2019m sorry to him.\u201d The next day, Dad uploaded a video simply titled \u2018H3,\u2019 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. \u201cHe\u2019s saying stuff like, \u2018Dad has dead girlfriend energy,\u2019 referencing Siobhan, my girlfriend who did pass away,\u201d he explained, before nearly breaking down into tears. \u201cI was like, this is the joke? You\u2019re 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.\u201d These comments seemingly took place during Ethan Klein\u2019s podcast episode with music influencer Anthony Fantano three months prior. \u201cHe came on our show to promote his fight against Matt [Watson], and he was just like, \u2018My life is a tragedy, I\u2019m fighting for my dead girlfriend,’\u201d Klein said during the podcast. \u201cNobody wants a \u2018dead girlfriend\u2019 punch,\u201d Fantano responded. \u201cI would pity anyone who gets in the ring with him,\u201d Ethan replied. (Topic begins at 1:11:00) According to claims from commenters, there were other remarks made by Ethan about Barnatt\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s loved one, sharing their sentiments underneath Bowblax\u2019s video compiling the drama. \u201cThe dead girlfriend thing is really incredibly demeaning,\u201d one user wrote in a YouTube comment. \u201cUsing her death like a joke is like pretending she was never a person, it\u2019s disturbing.\u201d \u201cEthan made fun of his dead girlfriend? Like, his REAL dead girlfriend? That is really f*cked up, dude,\u201d another said. \u201cThat makes me sick!\u201d another exclaimed. \u201cTo make fun of his girlfriend when anyone that knows about Nathan Barnett knows that\u2019s such a horrible trauma for him! Legit made me want to cry!\u201d It\u2019s 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.
