Ethan Klein has found himself at the center of another online controversy after a clip from a live poker event spread rapidly across social media platforms. During the twelfth edition of the Celebrity Poker Tour Invitational, held on May 7, 2026, the H3H3 Productions founder was allegedly seen zooming in on and taking a screenshot of an Instagram Story posted by Anisa Jomha, the wife of fellow YouTuber Ian "iDubbbz" Carter. The moment, captured on the livestream, was later reposted online and quickly went viral.
The Viral Clip
The clip was first shared by Reddit user u/Tequila_Sunset__, with a caption claiming that Klein was "caught zooming in and screenshotting" Jomha's picture during the poker event. In the video, Klein appears to be scrolling through Reddit while seated at the poker table. Moments later, he opens a post featuring Jomha's Instagram Story, zooms into the image, takes a screenshot, crops it, and seemingly saves it on his phone. The incident drew significant attention due to the ongoing public feud between Klein and iDubbbz, which has been simmering since 2025.
Background of the Feud
The fallout between Klein and iDubbbz began after iDubbbz revived his famous Content Cop series with a critical video focused on Klein. Since then, both creators have exchanged public comments online, escalating the tension. The latest clip has reignited discussions about their rivalry and Klein's behavior toward Jomha.
Ethan Klein's Reaction and Previous Comments
Viewers noted that Klein reacted audibly while viewing the image. The livestream microphone picked up him saying, "Ugh, God," as he looked at the post. The image reportedly matched Jomha's latest Instagram Story, in which she promoted a laser hair removal clinic, sharing her personal experience. The caption read: "I just got my laser hair removal done by… It was so painless. I'm sad I waited so long to do it, but she's amazing!.."
The resurfaced clip also brought attention back to Klein's earlier comments about Jomha during his online feud with iDubbbz. In previous livestream remarks, Klein had said: "Yeah, go back in the kitchen, stop trying to share your thoughts, okay? Nobody cares, girly, let your dumbf**k husband attempt to stream to 130 people. When it comes to Anisa, I'm a raging misogynist." Those comments had already faced backlash when originally made, and the poker event clip has reignited debate over Klein's conduct.
Current Status
As of May 9, 2026, Klein has not publicly explained why he screenshotted the Instagram Story during the poker livestream. Neither Jomha nor iDubbbz has publicly responded to the viral clip. The incident continues to fuel discussions on Reddit and X, with many users criticizing Klein's behavior.
