Trisha Paytas has been posting on YouTube since 2006, longer than most of the platform’s current stars have been making videos. The 38-year-old started under the username blndsundoll4mj, built an audience on vlogs, mukbangs and music, came through one of the most public podcast breakups on the internet, and rebuilt around Just Trish, a podcast that passed 320 episodes in October 2026. In 2025 she headlined a one-night benefit on a Broadway stage and then spent three weeks in Beetlejuice at the Palace Theatre. She is married to artist Moses Hacmon, has three children born between 2022 and 2025, and has a memoir, Crying on the Kitchen Floor, due from Hachette in November 2026.

Early Life
Trisha Kay Paytas was born on May 8, 1988, in Riverside, California, to Frank and Lenna Paytas. She has an older brother, Nick, and a younger half-sister, Kalli Metz. Her parents divorced when she was young. She moved to Freeport, Illinois at about age three, returned to California at 15 to live with her father and attended a Catholic online school program, then went back to Illinois at 16 and attended high school in Pecatonica.
She moved to Los Angeles as a young adult to pursue acting and supported herself with modeling and stripping work, both of which she has discussed openly for years.
Rise to Fame: The blndsundoll4mj Years
Paytas joined YouTube in 2006 as blndsundoll4mj, and the channel is still active under that handle. Her early screen work was small and often uncredited: Yes Man (2008), Faster (2010), Wanderlust (2012) and a 2011 episode of Modern Family. Her filmography from those years also lists appearances in Amy Winehouse’s “Tears Dry on Their Own” video (2007) and Eminem’s “We Made You” (2009), in which she played Jessica Simpson.
Mukbang and eating videos became a signature format from the mid-2010s, alongside vlogs, storytimes and music. She has released EPs and albums since 2015, and her 2016 EP Daddy Issues appeared on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart. In August 2017 she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in the UK and quit the show after 11 days. She still records music: in 2026 she released the K-pop singles “Saranghae (I Love You)” and “Banjjak Step,” plus a video for “Crying on the Kitchen Floor.”
Frenemies: The Podcast That Ended on Air
Her first solo podcast, The Dish with Trish, ran from 2019 to 2020. Frenemies followed in September 2020, co-hosted with Ethan Klein of H3, and ran 39 episodes. It ended on June 8, 2021, during a final episode in which the two argued on air about revenue, production costs and creative control. Paytas announced her departure in a video the same day and said she had no input on production decisions. Klein said she received 45 percent of the profits after 5 percent production costs and had signed on as talent, not as a producer. H3 confirmed on June 17, 2021 that the show would not return.
The H3 Connection to Moses
Moses Hacmon is the older brother of Hila Klein, Ethan Klein’s wife and H3 co-founder. Paytas met him in February 2020 as a guest on a “BacH3lorette” dating segment on the H3 Podcast, where Moses was one of the suitors. That connection is why the Frenemies split was never just a business dispute: it ran through her future in-laws as well.
Her next podcast, Oversharing with Colleen Ballinger, launched on May 23, 2023 and ended after a handful of episodes that June and July, once allegations against Ballinger became public. Paytas confirmed the cancellation on July 9, 2023.
Just Trish and Not Loveline: The Podcast Era That Stuck
Just Trish launched on July 20, 2023, hosted by Paytas with co-host Oscar Gracey. It publishes several episodes a week and had drawn about 145 million YouTube views across its first 200 or so episodes by August 2025. By October 2026 the episode count had passed 320. The August 2023 episode with Tana Mongeau was the first to pass one million views on YouTube. Recent episodes in October 2026 covered Mikayla Nogueira (episode 317) and featured Brittany Broski as a guest (episode 318). The show sells extended episodes through Patreon and merch at justtrish.com.
Since 2024 she has also co-hosted Not Loveline with Tana Mongeau, which has passed 55 episodes. Between the two shows, podcasting is now the center of her output in a way Frenemies never was: Just Trish alone has run more than eight times as many episodes.
Broadway and the Live Stage
Paytas made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live on December 7, 2024, playing herself in a Spotify Wrapped parody sketch in the Paul Mescal episode. Three days later she played her Trishmas Live holiday show at New York’s Beacon Theatre and announced a Broadway benefit from that stage.
Trisha Paytas’ Big Broadway Dream played one night only at the St. James Theatre on February 3, 2025, with guest performances from Sutton Foster, Ben Platt, Joy Woods and Rachel Zegler, directed by Skylar Fox. All net proceeds went to the Entertainment Community Fund, directed to people displaced by the California wildfires.
In November 2025 she joined the Broadway return of Beetlejuice at the Palace Theatre, playing Maxine Dean from November 4 to November 23 and taking over half of Sharone Sayegh’s track while Sayegh kept the role of Juno. The Internet Broadway Database lists the run as her Broadway debut in a Broadway production. Her tour bio also credits the run with an iHeartRadio Music Awards nomination for Favorite Broadway Debut.
Her live retrospective show, The Eras of Trish, launched in 2024 and toured more than 30 North American cities from February to June 2025, including the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on May 4, 2025. In June 2025 she performed at the WorldPride Music Festival in Washington, D.C., about a month before her third child was born. On May 24, 2026 she headlined a sold-out show at the Royal Albert Hall in London, billed as “BriTrish Invasion,” her first UK appearance since Celebrity Big Brother in 2017.
Acting Roles: Euphoria, Hacks and the Early Bit Parts
Paytas signed with Creative Artists Agency in 2024. When Euphoria’s third season cast was announced in October 2025, her name was on it. She played a podcast host interviewing Sydney Sweeney’s Cassie in episode 5, “This Little Piggy,” which aired May 10, 2026. On Just Trish two days later, she said her side of the scene was unscripted: she was told only that she would interview Cassie, and filmed for about an hour with Sweeney. People reported that she modeled the character partly on Suzanne Somers. Season 3 was the show’s final season.
She also appeared in a 2026 episode of Hacks titled “D’Amazing Race,” playing a character named Trisha. The roles are a long way from the uncredited bit parts of 2008 to 2012, and they arrived through the podcast audience she built after Frenemies, not through the old audition route.
Marriage to Moses Hacmon
Moses Hacmon is an Israeli artist and architect. He moved to the United States in 2002, graduated from the Southern California Institute of Architecture, and is known for Faces of Water, a long-running photography project built on a process he developed to photograph the movement of water.
The two met in February 2020 on the H3 Podcast’s “BacH3lorette” segment. The segment stalled when the pandemic began, and they started talking outside the show and quarantined together. He proposed at the Imperial Sand Dunes in California while the two were dressed as Aladdin and Princess Jasmine. The engagement was announced on December 25, 2020. They married on December 11, 2021; per Insider’s report of their social posts, she wore a black gown and walked down the aisle to My Chemical Romance. Before Moses, she dated YouTuber Jason Nash from 2017 to 2019.
Children: Malibu Barbie, Elvis and Aquaman Moses
Paytas had been told by doctors that she would not be able to conceive naturally, something she discussed publicly before her first pregnancy, which she announced on February 14, 2022.
Her first child, Malibu Barbie Paytas-Hacmon, was born on September 14, 2022. Her second daughter, Elvis Paytas-Hacmon, was born on May 24, 2024; the name was revealed publicly on June 4, 2024. Her third child and first son, Aquaman Moses Paytas-Hacmon, was born on July 12, 2025 by cesarean section, a delivery she described as traumatic. That pregnancy was announced on March 6, 2025, the baby’s sex was revealed at her Greek Theatre tour stop that May, and his name was revealed on Just Trish on July 22, 2025.
Controversies
The Frenemies fallout left a long public rift between Paytas and the Kleins, who are also her in-laws, and the two sides still comment on each other publicly. In July 2025, Ethan Klein accused Paytas on the H3 Show of lying about her infertility; the accusation is his, and it sits against her own repeated accounts of being told she could not conceive naturally.
Her earlier YouTube years included long public feuds with other creators, among them Jeffree Star. Those feuds belong to the era before her marriage and the Just Trish rebuild; she has addressed most of them on her own channels over the years.
Business and Brand Deals
In 2026 she launched her own Benihana meal, the “Trish Trio,” at Benihana restaurants in the United States, and filmed a commercial for it; her channel posted a behind-the-scenes vlog of the shoot. Her tour bio lists past brand work with Arby’s, Tubi, e.l.f. Cosmetics and Domino’s.
Net Worth
There is no verified net worth figure for Trisha Paytas. Estimate sites put her between $10 million and $15 million, and none of those numbers comes from financial reporting, so they should be read as guesses. The one hard income data point is her own: in 2021 she told Vulture that about 70 percent of her income at the time came from OnlyFans.
2025 to 2026: Recent Developments
On January 5, 2026, in a video titled “2026 Manifestations” and a TikTok posted the same day, Paytas floated the idea of running for the U.S. House in California, saying the idea came to her in a dream. She mentioned a possible slogan, “California could be good,” and a goal of raising the minimum age for adult-industry work to 25. People covered the comments the next day. It never became an actual candidacy: she filed no paperwork with the Federal Election Commission, and the March 6, 2026 declaration deadline she had referenced passed without a filing.
On March 24, 2026 she announced her memoir, Crying on the Kitchen Floor, published by Hachette and on sale in November 2026, with pre-orders open. The Eras of Trish tour also keeps running: Auckland’s Spark Arena on February 27, 2027 and Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on March 4, 2027, with venues upgraded in October 2026 as dates sold.
