What did HasanAbi say about Ethan Klein's wife, Hila Klein? Controversy explained

Twitch streamer Hasan "HasanAbi" has garnered attention on social media after his comments about Ethan Klein's wife, Hila Klein, went viral. On August 17, 2025, a video from HasanAbi's Just Chatting broadcast surfaced on Reddit and X, in which he discussed the legality of violent actions against Israeli forces or settlers amid the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.

While he did not explicitly name Hila Klein, he stated that the violent actions would be considered "perfectly legal, perfectly valid, and perfectly moral" against Israeli forces or settlers, including netizens' "favorite podcaster's wife."

HasanAbi said:

"...Matter if they're DFLP (Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine), PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine), or even former Fatah militants. Okay? It is perfectly legal, perfectly valid, and perfectly moral. Okay? 100%! This is not like a black and... this is not a grey area. This is black and white. Okay? It doesn't get more black and white than this! Israel is in the wrong. Israel is actually engaging in apartheid, which is a crime in itself. Israel is doing a genocide in Gaza and an apartheid in the West Bank. Two crimes in on itself. And every type of armed resistance against both, the settlers and also the Israeli-occupying force in the West Bank, doesn't matter if it's your favorite podcaster's, like, wife that participated in these raids..."

"He uses women to whatever end he needs" - Hila Klein responds to HasanAbi's statements

On the same day (August 17, 2025), Hila Klein responded to HasanAbi's statement via a series of Instagram Stories. In response to the Turkish-American personality seemingly calling her a "valid military target," Klein wrote:

"Just another Sunday."

In a follow-up Instagram Story, the 37-year-old fashion designer accused Hasan of "using women" and "exposing their nude bodies without their consent":

"Hasan Piker, who was exposed by my husband to be a disgusting creep, has retaliated by calling for violence against me. Think back and you'll notice a trend, when he wants to get at Ethan, he attacks me. This is just another glimpse into the psyche of a man that does not see women as his equal. He uses women to whatever end he needs, be it revenge, sexual gratification, or to massage his ego by exposing their nude bodies without their consent to his boys."
