13 Aug
Summary
- Cooper disputes Dave Portnoy's sexual harassment claims from his memoir.
- She recalls their past situation differently than Portnoy's book.
- Cooper is focused on her Unwell Media Network's growth and investments.
Alex Cooper, host of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, has addressed claims made by her former employer, Dave Portnoy, in his memoir. Portnoy alleged that he risked sexual harassment accusations if Cooper had not been released from her contract. Cooper, who is currently pregnant, offered a measured response, acknowledging her gratitude to Portnoy for providing her with an initial opportunity in the industry.
Cooper stated that while she has not read Portnoy's book, her recollection of events differs from his account. She expressed a desire to avoid drama, saying, "I am in my mother era. I'm no drama right now." Her current focus is on her business ventures.
Cooper appeared on CNBC to discuss her Unwell Media Network, co-owned with her husband. The company recently received investment, valuing it at $500 million. This investment was sought not for immediate financial need but to facilitate future acquisitions and strategic growth for their media company, which includes podcasts, film and television production, live events, and consumer products.
