Los Angeles: Ned Fulmer isn’t just trying to share his thoughts — he’s doing it.
More than four years after the former Try Guys member confirmed he had a months-long affair with an employee, he reacted to Ethan Klein cheating on his wife and collaborator Hila Klein.
“Ethan Klein can f— all the way off,” Ned — who shares two children with now-ex Ariel Fulmer — said in an October 25 X post, then wrote two hours later in a follow-up: “karma’s a b—h, huh?”
Hila’s Allegation
Hila — who created the h3h3Productions YouTube channel with her husband in 2011 and the H3 Podcast six years later — accused Ethan of having an affair for more than six months in an October 22 Instagram post, writing that she had been “fed lie after lie for months.”
Ethan’s Own Words Resurface
As H3 fans and critics alike reeled from the news, old clips of Ethan’s opinions on Ned’s cheating scandal — which led Try Guys members Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld and Eugene Lee Yang to confirm his 2022 exit — and on infidelity in general took the spotlight.
“The really sad part is they have two kids,” Ethan — who shares three children with Hila — said in a September 2022 H3 episode. “Cheating is so despicable, man, especially when there’s kids involved. F—, bro. Was it worth it just to get some strange ass? If you’re in love with her, just get a divorce if it’s that important.”
“They f—ing put their wife through childbirth, they deliver you two children and then you go and cheat on them,” he continued. “It’s got to be humiliating for his wife. And she’s got to do this in the public eye.”
The 41-year-old called the scandal “super ironic,” given Ned’s reputation for his “I love my wife” persona. But Ethan said the most disappointing aspect is the subsequent effect on the children. “That’s lifelong trauma for your kids at that young age,” he added, “where the parents in the relationship has such a big impact on them.”
After learning Ned had been unfaithful with a subordinate, Ethan shared a message for employers during the livestream: “Don’t f— your producers.”
E! News said it reached out to Ethan’s representatives for comment and had not yet heard back.
Ethan Responds
After Hila publicly accused him of infidelity, Ethan briefly addressed the allegations in an October 23 Instagram Story, asking for privacy during this difficult chapter.
He also confirmed he was working to remove his “ownership and financial stakes” in their joint ventures, including their podcasts, fashion brand Teddy Fresh and cosmetics company Teddy Glow.
“All of your support will go directly to Hila and the crew,” Ethan wrote. “I do this in hopes that people can still support Hila and the Crew without the concern of enriching me.”
“I know the crew will make an awesome show,” he concluded. “They are packed to the brim with the most talented, creative, hilarious and all-around great people.”
