Why is Trisha Paytas leaving the Frenemies podcast?
TRISHA Paytas is a controversial Youtuber who became an online sensation from her vlog TrishasLife. The Youtube star - who is engaged to Israeli artist Moses Hacmon - came out as non-binary in April 2021. Since 2020, Paytas resurfaced online after they teamed up with Ethan Klein to co-host the Frenemies podcast. The two address social issues on the show and call out other online creators for problematic behavior. However, during a June 8 episode of their podcast, Paytas and Klein got in a dispute about the work they put into the podcast. Paytas alleged that they bring many ideas to the table for podcast episodes and vlogs that dont make it to air. 4 Since 2020, Paytas has co-hosted the Frenemies podcast alongside Ethan Klein Credit: YouTube  The 33-year-old also claimed that Klein recycles content from his other podcast, The H3 Podcast. Kleins production company, h3h3 Productions, produces Frenemies, The H3 Podcast, and H3 After Dark. Paytas also expressed frustration that they dont have a say in hiring for the crew. The same day as their heated argument, Paytas uploaded a video on her YouTube channel titled, "Stepping down from frenemies." I had this feeling in my heart that I need to step away from Frenemies and its really with a heavy heart that I say that, Paytas said in the video. Its been my stability, my regular thing once a week that I absolutely look forward to. I really love doing the show.  Paytas then said they read the comments on the latest Frenemies episode in which viewers were voicing frustration with Paytas. 4 In a YouTube video, Paytas announced they'll be stepping down from Frenemies Credit: Rex Features  They also claimed that Klein asserted the crew was upset with Paytas as well and didnt want to film a pre-planned vlog episode with them. The thing that set me off, I was talking about gay rights and hate crimes against gay people and trans people, and I really wanted to talk about it, and he was talking over me, Paytas said. During the episode, Klein and Paytas then moved on to a different segment, which the new producer Klein hired allegedly pitched. I put out so many ideas for this show, Paytas said. I really do feel like I built this show with them, 50-50.  Paytas went on to say they hope that Klein continues Frenemies with another co-host, but that its not working for them anymore. Klein has since commented on Paytas sudden exit from the podcast, claiming that he had no knowledge they were leaving the show until seeing the video on June 8. I am honestly gutted over this whole thing, Klein wrote on Twitter. 4 On his Twitter, Ethan Klein confirmed the Frenemies podcast will come to an end after Paytas' departure Credit: Rex Features  Most read in Celebrity NEXT JENNER-ATION Khloe Kardashian posts photo of daughter True with Dream and Chicago Exclusive KIM'S MAN PLAN Kim 'wants to date a powerful man' but hopes ex Kanye West 'moves on first' TRIBUTE What to know about Rolandas Juodvalkis life KOURT IT OUT!
