Alex Cooper's Husband Accused of Toxic Workplace
12 Jun
Summary
- Husband allegedly created a toxic work environment.
- Employees report being berated and brought to tears.
- Cooper has not publicly addressed the accusations.
A recent report details allegations of a "toxic work environment" at The Unwell Network, co-founded by Alex Cooper and her husband, Matt Kaplan. Anonymous freelancers and former employees have accused Kaplan of fostering a hostile workplace. Sources allege that Kaplan, 42, frequently berated young female staff members for minor errors, reportedly causing them distress.
Further claims suggest Kaplan would scream "the nastiest things" at employees. Cooper, 31, has reportedly stood by her husband during these incidents without intervening. The couple, who married in 2024 and are expecting their first child, launched Unwell in 2023 after Cooper became the sole owner of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast.
Neither Cooper nor Kaplan have publicly addressed the accusations. A source close to Cooper suggested the reporting had an agenda. Previous accounts describe Kaplan as flirty, though some former employees did not feel uncomfortable. Cooper has previously spoken about her vision for Unwell as a women-led company, highlighting Kaplan's role working with an all-female staff.
