\n\tAlex Cooper is leaving talent agency UTA, amid a busy week for the Call Her Daddy <\/em>creator, according to sources familiar with the matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tA source says Cooper is in conversations with other agencies, but nothing is yet signed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe news<\/a> comes after Cooper announced an investment on Aug. 12 from WTSL, the Silver Lake-backed firm led by Patrick Whitesell, that valued her Unwell media<\/a> company at $500 million. The plan is to use the investment to grow the company, which includes a slate of podcasts, as well as live events and a film and TV production arm including through acquisition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, amid the planned expansion, a report in Bloomberg <\/em>last week also said that Cooper\u2019s branded beverage line<\/a>, Unwell Beverage Co, is shutting down later this year. Cooper has also faced a number of negative headlines after Bloomberg<\/em> and Vanity Fair <\/em>both reported claims about staff turnover and uneasiness among the staff, particularly due to the behavior of\u00a0Matt Kaplan, Cooper\u2019s husband and the company\u2019s co-founder, who is said to have yelled at and berated staff members. <\/p>\n

\n\tCooper remains one of the most popular podcast hosts thanks to the success of Call Her Daddy<\/em>, but is now looking to leverage that into more with an expansion of her empire outside of podcasting, which may have prompted the move. A source familiar with the matter says Cooper\u2019s team has spent the past several months planning out its future growth strategy, including representation, related to the funding. <\/p>\n

\n\tUTA declined to comment on reports of Cooper departing. UTA\u2019s Oren Rosenbaum negotiated\u00a0a $125 million deal with SiriusXM\u00a0in 2024 for Cooper and the agency also repped Cooper as she launched the Unwell podcast network in 2023. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe talent agency represents a number of top creators, including MrBeast, Charli D\u2019Amelio and Alix Earle, who formerly worked with Cooper but left her network, causing speculation about a rift or possible feud between the two creators. That has been raised as a possible reason for the departure, but Earle and Cooper have both been at UTA for more than a year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
