On April 29th, Louise Thompson, the 36-year-old former maid and Chelsea star, just dropped the bombshell on TikTok, accusing Alex Cooper of, straight up stealing the name Unwell for her podcast production company. She says she coined it years back during her brutal recovery after giving birth to her son Leo in November 2021 when she was dealing, with life-threatening bleeding and surgeries. Thompson had pitched the idea, Unwell or Unwellness, and a meeting with folks connected to Cooper's team. Fast-forward four or five months in boom, Cooper launches the Unwell Network in 2023. Thompson held on to the story until now, feeling brave after seeing backlash against Cooper, and called it karma-hitting hard. Cooper's in hot water these days with a public feud against influencer Alex Earl, whose hot-mess podcast got dropped from Unwell last year despite, being an early signing. The two have been firing off shady TikToks and Instagram stories, with Earl reposting jabs calling Cooper an ambulance chaser and Cooper clapping, back about fake narratives and mean girl vibes.

Adding fuel, a Bloomberg report exposed claims of a toxic culture at Unwell, where Cooper's husband Matt Kaplan allegedly berates staff and leaves, them and tears. Sources say Cooper's fed up with the drama, but had to speak out to shut down the noise. This name, death claim from Thompson, piles onto the mess, showing how old Beaves can resurface in the influencer world when Karma calls. Keep an eye on these networks, crumbling under the spotlight. That's your update from entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story.
