In June 2025, H3H3 Productions founder Ethan Klein filed a lawsuit against Twitch streamers Denims, Frogan, and Kaceytron for streaming their reactions to Klein's Content Nuke video critique on political commentator Hasan Piker. The case alleged that these reaction streams amounted to "low-effort reaction videos," without insightful or significant commentary.
Now, after Kaceytron came forth and publicly apologized to Ethan Klein, presumably under pressure to settle, Denims came forth and claimed that the apology was "painful to listen to":
"This apology, which I can only assume was somehow forced to extract a settlement, was painful to listen to."
Additionally, Denims suggested that Frogan, too, would take a similar route and "cave in":
"My trial date is 10/26/26, and I look forward to beating Ethan in court. While Kacey (and likely Frogan) have caved to Ethan Klein, which is a decision I doubt they have made lightly, settling like this is not an option for me."
Lawyer and YouTuber, Legal Mindset, claimed that Frogan would go broke amid the entire legal battle. If this is the case, it would make sense for Frogan to settle like Kaceytron.
Denims went on to claim that settling wouldn't be an option for her and that she would use all her resources to battle Klein in court. Her mission is supported by a GoFundMe campaign titled "Denims v. Ethan Klein Fair Use Lawsuit Defense Fund."

In her message, Denims suggested that if she were to concede, it could threaten the financial security of any streamer who makes reaction content:
"It is not an option for me because it would set a precedent that endangers the financial security of any streamer that creates reaction content. If you create content that involves commenting on videos on Twitch or enjoy consuming reaction content, you should be on my side."
The streamer went on to provide some numbers, stating that she paused her reaction 210 times to Klein's content nuke to provide insightful commentary:
"Ethan's video spanned roughly 104 minutes. I spent 230 minutes reacting to, critiquing, and commenting on his video and the content in it, during which I paused 210 times. That means I added 120% of the runtime in commentary, on average pausing every 30 seconds to add 36 seconds of commentary. This commentary length is substantially more than Asmongold, XQC, or any of the many other streamers and Youtubers that watched the Content Nuke in full."
In other news, Ethan Klein said he had "genuinely forgiven" Kaceytron after winning the lawsuit.
