Matt Kaplan, husband of Alex Cooper of the Call Her Daddy podcast, is now facing allegations of mistreating staff at the Unwell Network.
The Unwell Network, Cooper’s media brand, has featured major names like Kamala Harris, Miley Cyrus, and Hailey Bieber.
Despite the podcast’s huge success, things behind the scenes may not be as smooth. According to Page Six, a source alleged that Kaplan has “earned a reputation for frequently yelling at staff members” and even brought one employee to tears.
The report also claims he allegedly threatened staff members’ careers, with some employees reportedly considering walking out while still on set.
So far, the 42-year-old’s team has not responded to the accusations.
Kaplan studied film at Columbia University, where he also played quarterback on the school’s football team.
Matt Kaplan and Alex Cooper first connected over Zoom back in 2020.
“After back-to-back meetings, I got in an interview on my last meeting of the day with ACE Productions, Matt’s company,” she later shared.
“I got on Zoom and immediately started thinking, ‘Wow, this producer is very handsome — but, stay focused, Alex.’ There were about five other people on the Zoom from his company, but I kept just staring at Matt’s video square,” she continued.
Their connection quickly turned into something more, and it didn’t take long for Alex to realize she had found her person.
“We went on a few dinner dates in LA and sat in parking lots, pandemic-style, and there was no doubt in my mind after the first dinner that he would be the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with,” she said.
Kaplan and Cooper eventually tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in April, 2024.
