Alex Cooper is publicly denying allegations that her husband and Unwell co-founder, Matt Kaplan, created a toxic workplace and calls recent coverage a smear campaign.Vanity Fair and Bloomberg cited more than 40 sources alleging Kaplan yelled at employees, asked inappropriate questions about personal lives, and made comments about appearance; Cooper rejects those accounts and says many staff are happy at Unwell.Cooper highlights Unwell's rapid growth since its August launch, a $125M multiyear deal that moved Call Her Daddy from Spotify to SiriusXM, and the podcast's global ranking in 2025 as evidence of the company's success.Cooper and Kaplan married earlier this year and are expecting their first child; Cooper attributes some criticism to gender-based double standards and credits her resilience for continuing to build the business.
