Despite revealing her real name, Cohen confirmed that she will continue to write under the Freida McFadden name. She emphasized her genuine connection with her readers, asserting that while the name may be a surprise, her authenticity has always been present. The popular domestic drama "The Housemaid" was recently adapted into a film by Paul Feig, starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, and achieved significant box office success.
