H3H3 claims Triller founder Ryan Kavanaugh needs to “get a life” amid new lawsuit
H3H3’s Eila and Ethan Klein has called out Triller founder Ryan Kavanaugh for being a “pathetic f**k” by adding a new filing on top of their $100 million lawsuit for showing a Jake Paul fight clip on their podcast, saying he needs to “get a life”.
Triller and H3H3 have been embroiled in a legal battle since May after the former sued the Klein couple for showing a clip of the Jake Paul vs Ben Askren fight on their podcast. The copyright lawsuit, whichvalued damages at $100 million, was laughed off by H3H3, who is the only YouTuber named in the action now. He claimed he showed a 45-second clip with fair use five days after the live event, which doesn’t count for “catastrophic loss”. “They put so little effort into the complaint, it just seems like a shakedown, a headline trying to scare people to do the $49.99 thing,” he said.
“Can he get a life,” Eila said on a July 30 podcast. “I wish he would just run his business instead of trying to sue us. He must be desperate for cash,” Ethan added. The H3H3 couple proceeded to bring up Ryan Kavanaugh’s previous bankruptcies, as well as the allegations that he used to run a Ponzi scheme, first revealed by his ex-partner.The related segment begins at 10:44.
“What’s the date on this? January 29. When was the fucking fight? Somebody tell me the date. April 17. I’m not a mathematician, but I’m pretty sure this fking screenshot…January 29, is before April. “Nice fking try douche. Maybe you should try the people you bankrupted instead of going after us. Maybe they should try and improve Triller.”
