Trisha Paytas addresses Ethan Klein affair allegations and family estrangement
Ethan Klein’s wife, Hila, who is the sister of Paytas’ husband, Moses Hacmon, accused her husband of having an affair
Trisha Paytas has addressed allegations of infidelity involving her former Frenemies co-host Ethan Klein, whose wife, Hila Klein, is the sister of Paytas’ husband, Moses Hacmon.
In a TikTok video posted on October 27, the influencer explained that she and Moses had been out of contact with Ethan and Hila for five years.
Paytas made the comments after sharing an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, Crying on the Kitchen Floor, which discusses the breakdown of their family relationship.
“Zero communication, so we are not privy to any inside information,” Paytas said. “We are not totally on the outside of it either.”
She added, “Obviously, I knew both of them and it’s sad. We have children the same age as them, and that’s a devastating situation to be in.”
Paytas said her comments would be her only public statement on the matter, explaining that she no longer knew the couple personally.
She also described their decision to maintain silence as necessary for their family’s peace and well-being.
Moses addressed the situation on the October 27 episode of his wife’s Just Trish podcast, saying he had decided against discussing family matters for publicity.
He explained that the estrangement had affected his wife and children.
The controversy follows Hila’s October 22 Instagram statement alleging that Ethan had been unfaithful. “I am living in a nightmare I can’t wake up from. My husband has been having an affair. I have been fed lie after lie after lie for months. I am tired of lies,” she wrote.
Ethan subsequently asked the public to respect his family’s privacy in an Instagram Story posted on October 23, requesting that people refrain from contacting his relatives for comments
