TRISHA PAYTAS: ‘Ethan Klein Told So Many Lies About Me’

Trisha Paytas is one of THE original YouTubers. She started making videos on her kitchen floor over 20 years ago and almost instantly became one of the internet’s most talked about creators. Today, her channel has over a billion views, and she’s behind some of the internet’s most iconic memes. But behind it all is someone who has spent much of her life looking for validation. In our conversation, Trisha opens up about what it’s really like to be one of the internet’s most talked-about people, and the search for validation that has driven so much of it. Trisha shares: - Her opinions on Ethan Klein after the Frenemies fallout - How she feels about her cancellations - How her childhood has impacted her - Why Moses is her rock through everything - Why she chose unique names for her children Trisha reminds us that the opinions that matter the most come from the people who love us.
