Paytas raised the issue saying they thought it was the "first time we ever spent money on production costs." As a result, additional equipment was purchased in order to have a studio in each location. h3h3Productions had purchased a space in Downtown LA, and Paytas did not want to film there, but rather continue filming from Klein's home. The argument about the profit share and what the "production cost" revenue is used for is ongoing.Ī further mention was made of a disagreement regarding filming spaces. Klein said the money is for "production costs," not specifically for individual staff salaries. Klein then said he didn't see why he should ask Paytas about the people he hires, as they are employees of h3h3Productions, the production company owned by Klein which produces "Frenemies." Paytas responded that Klein told them that he takes the budget to pay the crew from part of the profit of "Frenemies" - 5% of the podcast revenue which comes out of Paytas' share, and 100% of the revenue from the "highlights" videos, which are standalone clips from the podcast posted to the H3 Podcast YouTube channel. The two began debating about the podcast's finances On one occasion, Paytas, who uses they/them pronouns, walked off in tears when Klein called them a "dangerous person to be close to." Several weeks later, Paytas called Klein's wife Hila Klein a "c-" and vowed never to return.
On three occasions out of the 39 episodes that aired, Paytas has stormed off the set following an argument. It created interesting conversations about the realities of living with mental illness and played a huge part in controversies around top creators like David Dobrik, Shane Dawson, and James Charles.īut the show also hung in precarious balance. "Frenemies" was a chance for them to come together and air their grievances about each other. They're even set to become family once Paytas marries their fiancé, Klein's brother-in-law Moses Hacmon. The pair have had a turbulent relationship since 2019 with several public spats, but in the past year, they have developed a strong friendship. The podcast, which started in September 2020, has been hosted by YouTubers Paytas and Klein.
Up until this week, Trisha Paytas and Ethan Klein co-hosted one of the buzziest podcasts on YouTube - "Frenemies." But since Paytas announced they would be "stepping down" after a heated episode, it looks like the series' nine-month rollercoaster has come to an end.
