  "account": "Creatorverse breaking down the Alex Cooper and Unwell mess: On Sunday, it was revealed that \"Call Her Daddy\" host and Unwell co-founder Alex Cooper left UTA in July. Cooper's departure comes amid Unwell's ongoing toxic workplace allegations and Cooper's public feud with fellow creator Alix Earle. This complicated situation began in 2018 when Cooper started \"Call Her Daddy\" alongside co-host Sofia Franklyn, who later left due to a disagreement over compensation. Cooper then hosted the podcast alone until 2020, when he co-founded Unwell Network. Unwell recently hit a $500 million valuation, thanks to an investment from WTSL. Cooper is now meeting with several agencies to determine her next move, while Franklyn is set to release a memoir addressing her fallout with Cooper. Meanwhile, Earle recently hinted at the ongoing feud in a trailer for her reality show \"Earle Meets World,\" which premieres on September 4.",
