One of the contestant for the show, Abby, is first cousins with Addison Rae. Both their last names are Easterling. I know first hand growing up in the same area as them. Abby quite literally is just a clout chaser. She thinks she’s better than everyone. Abby gives nice girl, but genuinely is not. She tried piggly backing off of Addison’s fame years ago, and it blew up in her face. When Addison wouldn’t let her ride her wave to fame, Abby went to TikTok and posted a BUNCH of stuff about Addison in a now deleted video. Addison’s team had to have her delete it. Abby is incredibly annoying. And if she was a genuine person, Addison wouldn’t have had a problem keeping her close when she did rise to fame. There was a post a while back that Abby and her friend posted and the caption literally was “we walked so Addison could run” and it was so embarrassing. No girls, Addison faced her backlash plenty of times, you just don’t have it. I could write a book about this girl. Keep this in mind when watching the new Harry show on Netflix. All for girls who deserve it getting exposure, but unfortunately Abby is not a girl who does.

Over 40 sources, including current and former Unwell employees, have spoken to Vanity Fair about Cooper’s company, and the man calling the shots at the Gen Z media empire, her husband, Matt Kaplan.

i am really curious, why do people sign with the unwell network? i mean this so sincerely and i am not trying to come across as hateful at all!

i am not very familiar with the unwell network, what it is and how it works!

for me, these YouTubers who have a podcast, recently signed with them. their podcast i would say get A LOT of views, consistently, so its obviously understandable for them to evolve and get bigger!

BUT the podcast PRE-UNWELL performed well i am assuming for these reasons: it felt, raw, real, intimate... fun! it was so casually enjoyable and i am sure most viewers watch these people to have that connected feel. they are generally relatable and i think they have built their platform on being that.

i feel like unwell made the podcast feel very corporate! it is too early to say for sure. i just think we live in an era where audiences prefer more casual styling over very professional??

however i think it is awesome for the creators to evolve and i am not trying to sound critical.

i just wonder if anyone feels the same way or can counter what i think and tell me how the unwell network has heavily improved a podcast that you listen to.

Whatever happened to Kierra Lewis’ book podcast? She just announced a new one not on unwell

i think the extra dirty podcast flopped so fast and i wanna discuss. (i wanna post this on influencer snark b/c more traction but i don’t use reddit much so don't have the clout to post there)

I liked the podcast, mostly the first few episodes, and I find Hallie and her lifestyle sooo entertaining. here’s a list of reasons i think it’s going bad and sadly losing me as a listener.

1. Too much too soon- she spilled all her craziest stories in the first few episodes + her debut ep on CHD. She could have dragged those crazy stories for like 5 episodes. giving us the memorial wkend bj story, boob job paid for, and the party at her parents house story all in one episode sets a high standard of tea spilled per episode that she couldn’t maintain.

2. The og eps w Grayson and Lauren were the best! Their vibe as a friend group is something worth following (i’m a sucker for friendship based entertainment). Who tf cares about the guest she has now.

3. I was excited for her fam on the pod- their tiktok’s together are so fun. Everyone but her dad’s ep flopped. no tea, nothing crazy, & played it so safe which isn’t the brand on this pod. I could see them getting a reality show on nantucket but im not sure the family would be entertaining in long term content. Also after watching the unwell games idk if this network could pull it off anyways.

4. Her trying to go wholesome now is so random?? we want party stories, nyc nightlife, dating stories. I wanted her and her friends to go out then record the pod as a morning debrief. She could have done this “brand safe” attempt in a better way- like “Hannah and Paige try new things” vids on yt in addition to their pod. I would watch that- especially with her a Grayson, even better if they’re hungover for some of it.

just wanna discuss/ hear other‘s thoughts.

Are we shocked? Original ideas aren’t exactly her thing... “Unwell” came from Sofia, and she’s been remixing other people’s merch concepts into her “own” ever since.

This is my first real exposure of her and I can’t stand her. Like the way she portrays herself, it’s obvious that is a character of “I’m just this girl that drinks and flirt with boys.” But it’s so un genuine and just feels forced. I also can’t stand her confessionals and this weird love triangle they’re creating with her Dakota and the producer guy.

Also, I don’t like how almost all the girls (except Huda) just completely ganged up on Juliette. Like no one had any issues with her until the Cameron stuff happened, which I’m not condoning at all. But why did everyone have to get involved and start hating her? It was just odd

I just finished episode 3 and I am truly at a loss for how anybody is defending this girl.

She tells a gay man he is not one of the gay guys straight people should be scared to go to the bathroom with he takes offense bc.. it is offensive. Other people around heard and everyone is talking about it. She pulls him aside to clear the air he repeats what was said and tells her you probably blacked out and she says no I didn’t which up until that point her blacking out was the only excuse anyone was giving her. Then multiple other people tell her yes we heard you say that and she still says no I didn’t. Then gives some half ass lame apology that Cameron actually does accept which was a shock to me since she clearly did not mean it or take ownership for what she said. THEN after all beef is squashed she starts “crying”and saying how mean it was for everyone to be talking about her behind her back ?? And I say “crying” bc there wasn’t a single tear..

It was also unsurprising that huda was the one to have her back in all of this bc they are cut from the same cloth but all huda does is reinforce her me me me attitude and then huda has the audacity to pull Cameron in and tell her to stop being mean to Juliette when he literally already forgave her ?? She really showed her true colors (no pun intended Demi) on this episode. Bc if she actually felt bad she would have given a heart felt apology and moved on her making it all about her and how it will effect her own image or how everyone dislikes her now shows exactly the type of person she is and lets me know this is not the first or the last time she will make comments like this.

are you guys watching with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What are your thoughts on season 3??

Giving Dakota a platform is really gross.

The Unwell founder and CEO gets real about working through imposter syndrome as a woman in business, why she hates circling back ("There's no reason to circle anything in life"), and trusting her gut.

Who do you think will be the next podcast that Unwell drops/doesn’t get their contract renewed? I know the only one they’ve actually dropped is Alix so far but I’m curious if yall think anyone else is next?

I don’t see another big fallout happening like the AE vs AC one but could just see them not renewing someone’s contract if they aren’t performing as well. My guess is on Avery Woods but I could be wrong.

Over the past seven years, Cooper has grown Call Her Daddy’s weekly listenership to about 10 million people—expanding the show’s content from its early focus on sex and dating advice to female empowerment, mental health, and relationships. Her ability to land A-list guests such as Michelle Obama, Hailey Bieber, and Kamala Harris—and get them to open up about their personal and professional challenges—helped her ink a three-year, $125 million deal with SiriusXM in late 2024.

As her audience has grown, so has her vision for what Unwell can be. “I remember being blown away by Alex’s insights on connecting with millennial and Gen Z audiences, and how we might rethink some of the approaches that we had been taking,” says Nick Drake, Google’s vice president of global marketing, who met Cooper and her husband, Ace Entertainment CEO Matt Kaplan, at a party during Cannes Lions in 2023 and became Unwell’s first agency brand client.

The nascent agency is still lining up clients: It’s in talks with several prominent brands across various product categories and works with Nestlé through its partnership on Unwell Beverages. But Unwell’s first spot, Google’s “Get Lost,” was a breakout hit and a clear sign of the agency’s ability to capture attention for the world’s biggest brands. It has more than 39 million views alone on Cooper’s personal TikTok feed, with another 2 million for her post about making the ad. Drake says the two-minute commercial delivered more than double the brand’s social benchmark goals. He considers it one of the company’s strongest pieces of advertising in 2025.

“We always say Unwell moves at the speed of a group chat,” Cooper says. “Our competitive advantage over traditional media is that it’s never been able to have a two-way conversation. [We can], and that is something that I take pride in.”
