Frieda McFadden’s bestselling psychological thriller, The Housemaid, has captivated readers with its shocking twists and dark secrets – and it turns out the author herself was hiding a few surprises. The book became a huge viral hit in 2022, leading to a major movie adaptation starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. Now, with the film’s success, McFadden has chosen to reveal her real name and profession, stepping out from behind the pseudonym she previously used.
Frieda McFadden, the bestselling author of books like the Housemaid series, recently revealed a surprising secret to USA Today. In a move to connect with her readers on a more personal level, McFadden shared that her real name is Sara Cohen. For years, she’s led a double life, maintaining her privacy by using a pen name and even wearing a wig in public. When she’s not writing, Cohen works as a doctor specializing in brain disorders. She felt it was time for people to know the person behind the stories.
After years of speculation, McFadden has finally addressed the rumors about her identity. She expressed her frustration with having to keep things hidden and confirmed that she is, in fact, a real person – not a group of people pretending to be one. She wants to put an end to the fan theories and be recognized for who she truly is.
