Louise Thompson Accuses Alex Cooper of Stealing Podcast Name: “The Law of Karma is Real”
Louise Thompson has found herself in the midst of a heated dispute with Call Her Daddy star Alex Cooper, accusing her of “stealing” the name of her podcast. The 36-year-old Made in Chelsea alum took to TikTok to share her bold allegations, claiming that Alex’s podcast, which launched under the name Unwell, was eerily similar to a concept Louise had pitched years prior.
In a candid video, Louise explained how she came up with the idea for a podcast titled Unwell during a particularly challenging period in her life. She recalled a meeting with an executive from a major talent agency, where she had suggested the name, inspired by her own health struggles. However, months later, she noticed Alex had launched a podcast under the very same name.
Louise revealed, “I thought it would be very clever to name this new business venture or podcast something like ‘Unwell’ or ‘Unwellness,’ based on my own experiences. I noted this down years ago when I was in my initial recovery phase.”
She went on to describe her surprise when Alex later announced her own Unwellness podcast, which Louise found suspicious. “A few months later, I saw her announce her entire podcast series called ‘Unwellness,’ and I thought it was a little odd that we both had the same idea, especially after I had discussed it with her management team.”
Louise didn’t mince words, ending her video with a direct accusation: “Alex Cooper stole my brand… and karma is real.”
The controversy has sparked significant online discussion, with fans and followers weighing in on the validity of Louise’s claims. Alex Cooper, who launched the Unwell podcast network in 2023, has yet to publicly respond to the allegations.
Conclusion
The dispute between Louise Thompson and Alex Cooper highlights the fierce competition within the podcasting industry, with accusations of intellectual property theft adding fuel to the fire. While Louise expresses frustration over the situation, the case serves as a reminder of the pressures and complexities faced by content creators striving to carve out their own unique niches.
