00:00Alex Cooper's husband Matt Kaplan has been accused of frequently yelling at the staff of the couple's production company.
00:06Sources close to Unwell Network claim there is constant conflict between Kaplan and staff members, per a bombshell Bloomberg report
00:13published Monday.
00:14Kaplan is the co-CEO of Trending Media and is in charge of day-to-day operations, while Cooper focuses
00:21on Call Her Daddy.
00:22The new report claims he has allegedly earned a reputation for frequently yelling at staff members.
00:27Some employees have reportedly threatened to walk out in the middle of film sets and live tours.
00:32According to Bloomberg, one witness claimed Kaplan berated the staff on Cooper's new show, Unwell Winter Games,
00:38and threatened to prevent them from working in Hollywood if they messed up, allegedly causing a seasoned crew member to
00:44burst into tears.
00:46Crew members have allegedly filed formal complaints telling leadership they would quit if Kaplan didn't behave better.
00:51Though most of the alleged behavior occurred behind closed doors, a production manager threatened to quit in the middle of
00:57Cooper's live tour in the 2025 documentary Call Her Alex,
01:01with Kaplan blaming the grueling work schedule.
01:04However, a source told the outlet the manager's breakdown was a consequence of Kaplan yelling and swearing at staff.
01:11Kaplan's alleged behavior comes after Cooper said in a Marie Claire interview in 2025 that her door is always open,
01:17and she wishes to harbor a very positive and safe environment for their young staff as a CEO.
01:23Kaplan is a producer who started his career at CBS out of college, working his way up from intern to
01:29director of digital development.
01:30The Columbia University graduate founded Chapter One Films in 2013, then served as Awesomeness Films president from 2015 to 2017.
01:39Upon his departure from the company, Kaplan founded Ace Entertainment, which is best known for producing To All the Boys
01:46I've Loved Before and its sequels.
01:48At the time, Kaplan was married to Originals alum Claire Holt.
01:52However, he and the actress filed for divorce one day ahead of their first wedding anniversary, in April 2017.
01:58Before his relationship with Holt, Kaplan famously dated Ashley Olsen between 2001 and 2004.
02:04The businessman's love story with Cooper began in 2020, when the duo met during a Zoom call.
02:10Kaplan got down on one knee in March 2023, the same year the pair co-founded their trending media company
02:16and its Unwell Network subsidiary.
02:18Kaplan and Cooper tied the knot in Mexico in April 2024.
02:23The call her daddy hosts has been making headlines of her own all week over her feud with Alex Earle.
02:28Cooper broke her silence on the long-rumored drama on April 13th, urging Earl to stop hiding behind other people
02:35and air their beef instead of being passive-aggressive on social media.
02:39She dragged Brianna chicken-fry LaPaglia into the drama days later over her dubbing Cooper a mean girl,
02:46which LaPaglia doubled down on during Sunday's PlanBree Uncut podcast episode.
