Call Her Daddy Host Alex Cooper's Empire Hits Snags
24 Apr
Summary
- Staff discord and employee turnover plague Alex Cooper's business.
- Co-founder husband Matt Kaplan reportedly yells at staff.
- Unwell Network struggles to expand beyond Call Her Daddy.

Alex Cooper's media company, Trending, is navigating a period of internal strife, including employee turnover and discord. The empire, which houses her hit podcast 'Call Her Daddy,' has faced operational challenges since its co-founding with husband Matt Kaplan.
Reports indicate that Kaplan has a reputation for yelling at staff, with some crew members threatening to quit. These issues have reportedly led to multiple high-level executive departures over the past year.
Despite expanding into live events, TV series, and a creative agency, Unwell Network has struggled to replicate the success of 'Call Her Daddy.' The company is now shifting its strategy towards acquiring existing shows rather than developing new ones.
Recent efforts include new executive hires and the launch of TV projects like 'Love Overboard' for Hulu. While Cooper's live tours and ad agency are gaining traction, the company's core podcasting success remains heavily reliant on 'Call Her Daddy.'
