Why are Denims and Ethan Klein in a legal battle? Feud explained as former demands retraction of YouTuber's comments in light of recent controversy

Streamer Denims is seemingly displeased with YouTuber Ethan Klein. On May 7, 2025, the streamer sent a legal letter to Klein seeking a public retraction of his previous statements against her.

For the unversed, the root of this goes back to March 2025, when Klein claimed that someone called in Child Protective Services (CPS) on him.

Meanwhile, Denims commented on Ethan Klein’s situation, and after that, he hinted that he would take legal action against her for defaming him.

The streamer sent him the letter through her lawyer, asking him to retract his statements where he suggested that Denims had involvement in the CPS call. After listing the claims that Klein made about the streamer, the legal letter read:

“For these reasons, we request that you immediately retract your false statements about Denims by publishing a correction stating that you are not aware of any evidence that Denims was responsible for, or otherwise participated in, any CPS communications concerning you or your family.”

It went on:

“We further request that the foregoing retraction and correction be made within the next ten (10) days and that the corrective statement be published on both the "H3 Podcast" channel and the "h3h3Productions" channel.”

The streamer also shared the news on X, writing that although she had publicly made it clear she never supported or encouraged contacting CPS about Ethan Klein, he continued to falsely accuse her. She warned that if Ethan didn’t take back his claims, she would consider legal action against his accusations.

What did Denims say about the CPS visit to Ethan Klein’s house?

After the CPS raid on his house, Ethan Klein addressed the situation, stating that someone from the online community spread rumors that his house was filthy and unsafe, claiming there was dog feces everywhere and that his child was getting sick from it.

This eventually led to an anonymous report to CPS, falsely claiming to be from someone who worked at the house, alleging the kids were in danger.

He claimed the complaint was made based on the details the person could gather from his H3 Podcast. Later on, he shared an Instagram story, writing that he would seek help from the police to find out who made the complaint. His statement was:

"I am filing a police report about the fraudulent CPS call. Tips are anonymous, unless they break the law."

Denims questioned how Ethan Klein’s kids possibly got giardia from dog poop in the house and expressed disbelief that such a situation could happen, making it difficult for her to understand.

While she didn’t consider herself a cruel person, she believed that any issue that worsened over time should be addressed immediately.

Meanwhile, the legal letter stated that on March 11, 2025, Ethan Klein repeatedly suggested that Denims was behind the CPS call and referred to her as the main villain.

He also insulted her harshly, accusing her of being a liar and a terrible person because he believed she made the call. Then, on April 18, 2025, he claimed that she supported harmful actions like having his kids taken away, and directly blamed her for CPS visiting his home.
