Alex Cooper is calling her employee her real name.
In my latest update, I’d like to clear up a buzzing rumor concerning my work environment at The Unwell Network. Some folks have been saying that I asked an employee to use a different nickname in the office because she shares a first name with my former partner Matt Kaplan’s ex-wife, Claire Holt. To set the record straight, this is not true. I believe in fostering a respectful and professional work environment for everyone involved.
Alex shared during his April 22 interview on the Boyfriend Material podcast with Harry Jowsey that he found it absurd when someone started a rumor suggesting he had changed an assistant’s name because she shared a name with one of Matt’s former partners. “Apparently, someone spread this nonsense and people actually believed it,” Alex said.
Meanwhile, the woman who got married to Matt in April 2024, aged 30 at the time, swiftly dismissed rumors about it. She further clarified that this matter didn’t cause her any restless nights.
In response to such occurrences, Alex joked, “It’s as if I’m merely swiping past, one event blending into the next.” This way, each day brings a new gossip or tale.
To clarify, the creator of Unwell primarily focused on the impact the rumor had on her highly private assistant, whom she stated was deeply distressed by the false tale.
Alex replied, ‘I didn’t show the slightest surprise.’ He then added, ‘In essence, I thought it was clearly untrue. People have been posting videos saying something along the lines of, ‘Alex Cooper made a girl alter her name.’
She added, “It’s just crazy.”
As a dedicated follower of film production, I’ve had the pleasure of working on movies like “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” and “I Wish You All the Best.” In 2016, I tied the knot with Claire, but our journey together ended in 2017. Fast forward three years, a Zoom meeting brought me across Alex, and we started dating shortly after this encounter. Meanwhile, The Originals alum Alex has been married to Andrew Joblon since 2018, and they are blessed with three wonderful children together.
Meanwhile, Alex tends to keep their romantic life private, but openly discusses how Matt has shifted her viewpoint on love and partnerships.
She shared with Vogue following their Mexican wedding that she had been skeptical about marriage. Right from the start of their relationship, she openly discussed her feelings with Matt, mentioning that she might lean towards a ‘lifelong companion’ role rather than a traditional spouse.
As a devoted admirer, I must confess, I never envisioned stumbling upon a love as extraordinary as my parents’ union. Yet here I am, unknowingly seeking my very own Matt Kaplan without even realizing it.

In 2023, it was Colleen Ballinger herself who faced scrutiny rather than her YouTube persona, Miranda Sings, as she encountered allegations of grooming and inappropriate relationships with underage fans.
In a video titled “why I left the Colleen Ballinger fandom…” that has since been deleted, YouTuber KodeeRants shared screenshots claiming to be from a text exchange between Colleen and her followers, accusing the comedian of creating exploitative relationships with underage fans.
NBC News reported an unverified group chat named “Colleeny’s Weenies,” in which Colleen allegedly asked her fans about their favorite sexual positions during one conversation, although they could not confirm the authenticity of the screenshots.
Following this, content creator Adam McIntyre, who initially managed a fan account for Miranda Sings at age 10, released videos on his YouTube channel accusing Ballinger of emotionally grooming her fans.
Ballinger has not directly responded to these allegations or TopMob News’ request for comment. However, on June 28, she addressed the accusations in a 10-minute ukulele song posted to her personal YouTube account, likening them to a “toxic gossip train” bound for “manipulation station,” as the rest of the internet “tied me to the tracks and harassed me for my past.”
In July, all remaining dates on her Miranda Sings tour were canceled. Since then, she has not posted to social media.
The situation began when the writer of “Girl, Wash Your Face” posted about her house cleaner, which led to a growing mess. In a clip from a since-deleted post shared by Angie Treasure, Hollis mentioned an April 2021 livestream where she spoke about a woman who “cleans the toilets,” noting that someone commented and said, “You’re privileged AF” to which she replied, “You’re right. I’m super freaking privileged, but also I worked my ass off to have the money to have someone come twice a week and clean my toilets” and then she stated that the person was unrelatable.
Hollis went on to explain that she had no interest in being relatable, citing icons and historical figures like Harriet Tubman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Marie Curie, and Oprah Winfrey as “all unrelatable AF.” However, it’s important to note that selling millions of copies of her books doesn’t make her a revered abolitionist.
Days later, Hollis issued an Instagram apology, stating, “I know I’ve caused tremendous pain in mentioning prominent women—including several women of color—whose struggles and achievements I can’t possibly understand.” She also acknowledged that she disregarded the people whose hard work doesn’t afford them financial security, often due to inherently racist and biased systems.
In conclusion, Hollis admitted that it was important for her to be quiet and listen.
In March 2020, the creator of Something Navy clothing line and original blogger announced on Instagram that she had tested positive for COVID-19, planning to quarantine with her husband Brandon Charnas and their daughters Ruby and Esme in their Manhattan apartment. However, just eight days later, her entire entourage, including her nanny, left for the Hamptons. To put it mildly, this didn’t reflect well on her. The comments on her Instagram page became increasingly critical as she bragged about going outside for “fresh air” instead of adhering to social distancing guidelines.
When her husband cracked that only “hot” people were getting the virus, emotions boiled over.
Later, she issued a heartfelt apology addressing various issues – their nanny also fell ill with the virus, they ensured safety measures by having doormen clear the lobby, didn’t stop for gas, had groceries delivered, and resided in a secluded property in the Hamptons. However, the backlash persisted.
Nordstrom, who previously stocked Charnas’ line, chose not to renew their contract that ended in 2019. In response, Charnas, who welcomed her third child, Navy, in 2021, shifted towards a direct-to-consumer relaunch, stating “I desired more control,” and is now back to posting about her favorite Shopbop choices and collaborations with A Pea in the Pod.
Reflecting on the experience, she admitted on The Glossy Podcast, “People expected me to be more aware of global events, and I should have been.
In 2020, fashion influencer Emily Gellis Lande publicly criticized registered dietitian Alissa Zuckerbrot over allegations made by anonymous dieters regarding the F-Factor Diet. Some of these dieters claimed they had spent thousands of dollars and experienced negative side effects such as rashes, cramps, signs of metal poisoning, and even a miscarriage. This controversy was covered by The New York Times.
Zuckerbrot, who enlisted lawyer Lanny Davis (former White House special counsel to President Bill Clinton), dismissed the claims and suggested they were not related to disordered eating. She stated that out of over 176,000 sales of her snack bars and powders, she had only received 50 health complaints. Zuckerbrot also provided a Certificate of Analysis to refute concerns about heavy metals in her products and appeared on Today to defend her diet program.
In response, Zuckerbrot expressed little regard for Gellis Lande’s opinions, stating that she believes Gellis Lande thinks she’s helping people but is actually promoting an unhealthy lifestyle and giving people anorexia. Zuckerbrot has since filed two lawsuits against Gellis Lande, accusing her of launching a smear campaign to damage her brand. Both lawsuits are currently pending, with Gellis Lande denying the claims.
2020 saw many parts of the world experiencing a significant awakening regarding racial issues. However, it was Jessica Mulroney, a friend of Meghan Markle, who received an unexpected wake-up call. In a lengthy Instagram video, lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter detailed her disputes with Mulroney. The conflict began when Mulroney allegedly took offense to Exeter’s request for her followers to use their voices to support the Black community and combat racial injustice.
Exeter claimed that Mulroney responded by exhibiting problematic behavior, including speaking negatively about her to other brands and making a written threat. Although Mulroney issued an apology in a comment on Exeter’s video, she later sent a message that Exeter shared, stating, “Liable suit. Good luck.”
Mulroney released an apology to her followers, vowing to amplify Black voices by handing over her social media account to them. However, Canadian broadcaster CTV announced they were canceling her reality show I Do, Redo.
Ben Mulroney, Jessica’s husband, stepped down from his co-host position on CTV’s eTalk, expressing hope that a new host of color could use the platform to inspire and drive change. Despite this, Jessica managed to keep her high-profile friendship with Meghan Markle, as evidenced by a since-deleted post where she declared, “Meghan and I are family. She is the kindest friend.
In 2020, a YouTube personality who gained fame on Vine and was later dismissed from Disney Channel’s Bizaardvark, moved up to the big leagues. This individual is recognized for movies like “I DUCT TAPED My Brothers $400,000 Dollar TRUCK!”.
On August 5th, FBI agents conducted a federal search at Paul’s home in Calabasas, California, confirming it was linked to an incident on May 30th at a Scottsdale, Arizona mall. The authorities stated that Paul disobeyed orders to leave after broadcasting live from a Black Lives Matter protest at the city’s Fashion Square Mall, which ended at the mall. However, Paul claimed on Twitter that while he was documenting the protest, neither he nor his group were involved in any looting or vandalism.
The reason for the FBI raid became a topic of much discussion, given Paul’s large YouTube following. Footage from a local ABC station showed multiple firearms being taken into a police vehicle. Paul later deleted a video where he claimed that the search was related to the Arizona looting situation and was part of an ongoing investigation. No charges were filed, but Paul’s attorney stated they would cooperate with the investigation.
Over a year since reconciling with beauty vlogger Tati Westbrook, the YouTube star found himself embroiled in fresh disputes. In August 2020, a subtle tweet about celebrities launching makeup lines implied that Alicia Keys, who never wears makeup, shouldn’t have a skincare collection. He later apologized, acknowledging he wasn’t the arbiter of makeup.
However, barely two weeks later, the host of Instant Influencer found himself in hot water again when he criticized Lauren Conrad’s new beauty line on Instagram. He ridiculed The Hills alum by displaying empty packaging from a newly launched cosmetics brand, implying that she had no business having one.
Luckily, fashion designer LC Lauren Conrad didn’t shed a tear over spilled mascara. She humorously admitted her mistake on Instagram, blaming the person responsible for assembling the gifts (presumably, the expert in winged eyeliner herself). She explained that during testing, she had put empty samples into a bag to check their fit and accidentally included them with the others when they were sent out.
Conrad’s apology was accepted by Charles, who stated that the videos were meant to be humorous and shared that “Lauren and I spoke privately about the misunderstanding, and we are both good.” Nonetheless, it’s evident he was well aware of his error.
In the world of vloggers and YouTubers, I, an ardent follower, can’t help but be moved by the heart-wrenching start to a May 2020 video from The Stauffer Life. When James and she declared that the video was the hardest they’ve ever made publicly, it was clear this wasn’t about sharing their newborn’s sleep schedule or favorite meals. Instead, they revealed they had placed their then-4-year-old son Huxley, whom they adopted from China in 2017, with his forever family due to the challenges of managing his autism.
lost followers, severed collaborations with brands like Fabletics, Suave, and Danimals, and even an investigation by Ohio’s Delaware County Sheriff’s Office into Huxley’s well-being, as reported by TopMob News.
In late June, authorities announced they had closed their case without any charges. However, Myka’s brand remains inactive. Silence has filled the void since she issued a heartfelt apology for her naivete during the adoption process and clarified that there were no ongoing investigations against her.
Despite my past mistakes, I am learning and growing… and I will make you proud. I promise.
In October 2019, YouTube personalities, the Stokes Twins, dressed up as bank robbers, hailed an Uber as their getaway car while filming. The unsuspecting driver was not part of the joke and refused to leave when asked. A bystander called the police, leading to a standoff where the Irvine Police Department arrived and ordered the Uber driver out at gunpoint. However, once it was confirmed he wasn’t involved, the driver was released without charges. The police then warned the Stokes Twins about the dangers of their prank.
Four hours later, the twins repeated their stunt on the University of California, Irvine campus, resulting in their arrest. If convicted on false imprisonment and swatting charges, they could face up to four years in prison. However, they were met with criticism from Orange County D.A., Todd Spitzer, who stated that these pranks could have resulted in severe injury or even death.
In a 2020 statement, their lawyer claimed that the twins were not guilty of any crimes. Despite this, they pled guilty to lesser charges of misdemeanor false imprisonment and reporting false emergencies, receiving 160 hours of community service and one year of probation.
In a dramatic turn of events, the renowned YouTube personality Dawson, once hailed as the “King of YouTube” due to his extensive videos garnering him over 34 million followers, saw his reign come to an abrupt end in June 2020. This was sparked by a controversial tweet he posted and later deleted, expressing frustration with the online beauty community, specifically calling out James Charles as “a young, power-hungry, egocentric ‘guru’ who needed a hefty serving of humility.”
His followers were quick to respond, pointing out that those residing in glass houses should not throw stones. Within days, Dawson released a 20-minute video titled “Taking Accountability,” where he apologized for his past misdeeds, admitting, “I have done many things in the past that I deeply regret.” Among these were using blackface, making racist remarks and jokes about pedophilia, sexualizing an 11-year-old Willow Smith, and posting content that caused harm.
In the video, he expressed remorse, stating, “This video is born out of a desire to take responsibility for my actions, to acknowledge everything I’ve done on the internet that has hurt people, contributed to the problem, and not been handled well.” He further admitted, “I should have faced consequences for these actions.”
As a result, YouTube suspended his ability to monetize his three accounts. Dawson returned to content creation in 2021, expressing gratitude for being ‘canceled,’ as he felt it significantly impacted his life positively.
