Ethan Klein moved to exit all h3 ownership stakes

The H3 Podcast crew put the show on indefinite hiatus after Hila Klein disclosed an affair and rejected any future role for him in the business.

Ethan Klein said in an Oct. 23 Instagram post that he is urgently working with his wife, Hila Klein, to strip his ownership and financial stakes from their podcasts, the apparel brands Teddy Fresh and Teddy Glow, and any other joint venture that would pay him.

Hila wrote on Oct. 22 that she had learned Ethan had been in an affair for more than six months after months of lies that escalated from a kiss to emotional cheating and beyond.

The H3 Podcast crew said in its own Instagram post that it stands with Hila and will not keep working with Ethan involved or profiting from the operation. The show, which the Kleins have run on YouTube since 2016 with new episodes four weekdays a week, draws about 12.5 million views a month and is on indefinite hiatus.

Ethan wrote that all audience support would flow to Hila and the crew without enriching him.
