Ethan Klein and Hila Klein's marital fallout takes a more intense turn. Mere days after Hila Klein accused Ethan, the American YouTuber and podcast host who co-founded the popular h3h3Productions YouTube channel and the H3 Podcast alongside her, of having an extramarital affair, a female ex-staffer has come forward and accused Ethan of more problematic behaviour.

After Hila Klein went public about Ethan Klein's cheating on her Instagram stories, X User @GodinezEliana has accused the H3 Podcast host of allegedly 'hitting' on her on set 'before COVID years.' This is what the H3H3 ex-staff member wrote about the alleged flirting:

"I was on set right before COVID years; he constantly hit on the girls. He tried hitting on me a few times."

According to Variety, Ethan Klein met Hila in 2007. The couple co-founded the YouTube channel h3h3Productions, built their YouTube careers, and got married in 2012. In 2016, their YouTube channel led to the H3 Podcast, a long-form comedy and commentary show on major audio platforms; the channel currently has 2.5 million subscribers on YouTube.

The couple has three children together. Hila Klein went public about Ethan Klein's cheating on Instagram. Hila shared details about the 'nightmare' and revealed that she confronted her husband after sensing something was wrong. Hila revealed her concerns were met with 'dismissive answers,' and she eventually decided to trust Ethan Klein because she loved him. However, the truth about Ethan's cheating came out when he was 'caught in a lie.' While Ethan initially maintained that it was 'just a kiss' or 'emotional cheating,' the YouTuber eventually confessed to being in an extramarital affair for six months.

This is how Hila Klein capped off her Instagram post:

“The betrayal I feel is immeasurable. The person I loved and trusted for 20 years evaporated overnight. He was my safe place, my partner in marriage, parenting, and business. My only family on this side of the world. How do I even begin to make sense of this?”

After Hila Klein's accusation, X User @GodinezEliana has come forward with her own accusations against Ethan Klein. The ex-staff member wrote:

"Okay guys I'm finally coming out with it. When I heard the news, I felt bad and I didn't want to add more fuel to the fire, but I wanted to share what I know."

While @GodinezEliana's claims remain unverified for now, they have certainly added suspicion about Ethan's behaviour. The YouTuber faced immense backlash after Hila's accusations. The H3 crew has also decided to side with Hila. In a statement posted on Instagram, the H3 crew supported Hila, saying they were 'disgusted by Ethan’s actions' and would not work with him in the future.

Ethan Klein recently took to his Instagram stories and asked people to respect his family's privacy during this difficult time. According to Rolling Stone, the podcaster is also working to remove his ownership from the H3 Podcast, as he announced on his Instagram:

“I am working with Hila to urgently remove my ownership and financial stakes in any podcasts, Teddy Fresh, Teddy Glow or any joint venture that I would profit from."
