Ned Fulmer is getting an unexpected moment of vindication online after taking aim at Ethan Klein amid allegations of infidelity against the H3 Podcast host. The former Try Guys star's own marriage scandal derailed his carefully cultivated 'wife guy' image in 2022. Fulmer posted two pointed messages about Klein on X on Sunday, 25 October. This prompted fans to revisit the irony of their respective controversies.
'Ethan Klein can fuck all the way off,' Fulmer wrote in one post. In another, he added, 'Karma's a b****, huh?' according to TMZ's report of the comments. The posts arrived after Klein's wife and podcast co-host, Hila Klein, publicly accused him of having an affair lasting more than six months.
The timing has turned Fulmer's remarks into a talking point across online communities, including Reddit. Some users have treated the exchange as a rare win for Fulmer, arguing that Klein had criticised him over Fulmer's infidelity scandal. Others questioned Fulmer's decision to weigh in, suggesting he was taking advantage of another creator's crisis to return to the spotlight.
Ned Fulmer's 'Wife Guy' Reputation
Before the scandal that led to his departure from The Try Guys, Fulmer had built a public persona around his devotion to his wife, Ariel Fulmer. He frequently referenced her in videos, and the couple worked together on projects including The Date Night Cookbook and a parenting podcast. His image became so closely associated with being a devoted husband that fans embraced the label 'wife guy'.
That reputation made the September 2022 revelations particularly damaging. Fulmer acknowledged having what he described as a 'consensual workplace relationship' with a producer. The Try Guys later announced that, after an internal review, he was no longer working with the group, ending his tenure as one of its founding members.
The fallout became a major online controversy because Fulmer's public image had been built partly around his marriage. The contrast between that persona and his admission of a workplace relationship fuelled memes and criticism, making the episode a defining moment in creator culture.
Earlier Comments Have Resurfaced
The connection between the two controversies is not simply that both involve allegations of infidelity. Klein had previously spoken forcefully about men who cheat on their wives, particularly when children are involved.
After Hila's allegations emerged, a clip from the H3 Podcast began circulating again. In it, Klein criticised husbands who put their partners through childbirth and then cheat on them. The clip gained renewed attention because viewers connected its message to the allegations now facing him.

Why Fans Are Divided
Some commenters take Fulmer's jab as a sense of irony: a man who was publicly condemned for infidelity is now calling out someone who had criticised similar behaviour. Others are less willing to celebrate him.
A few Redditors questioned why Fulmer was inserting himself into another couple's private crisis, while others suggested that the attention could benefit his public profile. The criticism reflects a wider reluctance to treat a person's past misconduct as erased simply because another public figure is facing scrutiny.

The situation surrounding Klein has developed beyond social media sparring. Hila said she and Ethan had separated and that she was focused on caring for their three children. The H3 Podcast crew also announced that it would no longer work with Klein, leaving the show's future uncertain. Klein said he was working to remove his ownership and financial interests from joint ventures so supporters could continue backing Hila and the team without enriching him.
