Matt Kaplan's Surprising Interaction with Employees Raises Eyebrows

A TikTok user, Courtney Babbin, shared her unsettling experience interviewing for a director position at the Unwell Network, run by Alex Cooper and Matt Kaplan. She described a tense final interview with Kaplan that left her feeling uncomfortable and undervalued.

Interview Experience

Babbin alleged that during her meeting with Kaplan, he seemed to focus on her appearance rather than professional qualifications. The encounter took place in Kaplan's office, where she was seated uncomfortably below him as he asked personal questions unrelated to the job.

She felt the questions about her upbringing and parents were inappropriate and pushed back against them. This allegedly led Kaplan to criticize his current employees harshly, calling them "stupid" and "lazy."

Aftermath of Interview

Feeling disrespected and upset after not getting the job, Babbin said her attempts to discuss the incident with human resources went ignored. She expressed her frustration on social media, criticizing Kaplan’s behavior as contradictory to Cooper's brand values.

Wider Allegations

This account comes amid broader allegations reported by Bloomberg that Matt Kaplan frequently yells at Unwell staff. Alex Cooper has publicly stated her commitment to creating a safe work environment.

Cooper's previous statements seem at odds with these claims, leading to speculation about internal conflicts at their company. Neither Cooper nor Kaplan has publicly commented on this latest report.
