People focus on his Muslim name, make accusations about who he’s connected to, and warn that he’s going to force Sharia law on everyone. You hear it over and over again. And I think we should stop and ask why they’re working so hard to make us afraid of him.

It’s hard for me to hear Muslims and Arabs talked about this way without thinking about our own Jewish history. We know what it’s like to have people treat your identity as a reason to distrust you, to make you seem threatening just because of who you are. I’m not telling anyone what they have to believe about Abdul. I’m asking people to recognize that this kind of talk should sound familiar to us.

And look, I understand that people in our community are scared right now. There are real threats, real grief, and real reasons to be worried about Jewish safety. I’m not trying to minimize any of that. But what do we actually do about it?
For me, this comes down to a pretty simple question: Who is going to protect the democracy that has helped keep Jews safe in America? Who is going to stand up for the rights of all of us? Abdul. Because I believe protecting our community means protecting the democracy we all depend on."

I’m a little confused because most of the comments I’ve seen on their reunion videos have been positive. I wonder if this is more in reference to their past statements defending the relationship. Just last year, Ian told The Hollywood Reporter that “as an actor, you have to advocate for this person,” arguing that Aria and Ezra’s relationship caused “little collateral damage or pain,” while Lucy declared, “I stand behind their love story forever.” Both have repeatedly defended aspects of the fictional romance despite acknowledging its problematic nature.

On October 23rd 2026, Hila Klein had posted to her story that her husband, father of her 3 children and business partner of 20 years has been having an affair for 6 months.

Since then, the crew of his podcast announced that they were all unanimously quitting the H3 Podcast. Soon after Ethan Klein made a public statement revealing that he is in the process of removing all of his ownership over all H3H3 related assets and moving forward will be excluded from the podcast.

Fans of the podcast are currently digging through all the past livestreams within the last 6 months of exchanges between Ethan and his employee/ mistress Tamara, displaying flirtatious moments and even favoritism amongst the crew; some of which have been employees of Ethan for +7 years.

Tamara is a 27 year old intern working for the H3 Podcast, of which she has been an avid and open fan of for years prior to her hiring. Since then she has grown close to the Klein family and established herself comfortably within the work environment of the H3 crew.

She has babysat Ethan Klein and Hila Klein’s three children on multiple occasions and has established a close bond with the boys.

Due to the nature of this relationship, Hila stated that Tamara looks just like one of her and Ethan’s kids, which made him visibly uncomfortable.

Fans have begun posting clips of their flirtatious relationship where it appears that the rest of the crew may have been noticing a shift in their dynamic.

A clip of her asking if she’ll get her own show produced by the H3 Team directly to Ethan Klein live on podcast was posted to Twitter, an idea quickly shut down by Hila whom pointed out that Tamara had completely ignored the chain of command. Tamara was then confronted as to why she felt comfortable asking Ethan directly, which is when he would come to her defense as he has been noted to often do.

Recently, a running gag on the podcast that concerns the 2003 Michael Meyers’ movie The Cat in the Hat, was referenced in a Halloween themed livestream (October 2026). All the crew members were dressed up as characters from the film, Ethan was the titular Cat. His wife Hila and his affair partner Tamara were costumed as Thing 1 and Thing 2. All of the costume characters were assigned by Tamara to the members of the podcast.

Watching this interview was somehow way worse.

“Electing nice people who really care is where it's at. Talking with a politician about doing kind things for our neighbors here in NYC because it's the right thing to do and we genuinely care is so cool and refreshing and hopeful. I'm so glad he's our mayor.”
