Summary
Alex Cooper has dropped United Talent Agency and is talking with rival firms, with Bloomberg reporting she plans to sign with CAA.
A source at Unwell said the company reconsidered its representation as it prepared for aggressive expansion after Patrick Whitesell’s WTSL invested, lifting the three-year-old media company to a $500 million valuation.
Unwell has widened beyond "Call Her Daddy" into a creative agency, live events, tours, microdramas and streaming projects for Hulu, Disney+ and Netflix.
The agency split also lands two months after Vanity Fair cited 40 sources in reporting toxic-workplace allegations at Unwell; Cooper later disputed the claims in the Wall Street Journal.
