Alex Cooper is embarking on a new journey, heading towards the silver screen. The host of the popular podcast 'Call Her Daddy' is adding another feather to her cap with a role in the movie adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel 'Verity'. A sneak peek of the film was unveiled at CinemaCon on April 15th, showcasing Cooper interviewing the fictional author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway). Despite playing herself in this upcoming drama, it marks her debut in acting.
In 'Verity', Lowen Ashleigh (played by Dakota Johnson) is tasked with completing Verity's next manuscript after she is involved in an accident. However, things take a sinister turn when Lowen notices Verity窥视她 through the windows while staying at her house, leading to hallucinations of their characters kissing and an emotional moment where Lowen tries to escape the home, according to Deadline.
'Verity', set to premiere on October 2nd, isn't the only topic that has put Cooper in the news this week. She's also been embroiled in a feud with Alix Earle, and their beef recently came to a head after Earle reposted an April 9th TikTok that likened Cooper to an 'ambulance chaser' and 'grim reaper' due to the traumatic stories celebrities share on her podcast. Following the repost, Cooper hit back in an April 13th TikTok and challenged Earle to 'get specific and just say what you got to say about me.'
"Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself," she said in the video. "What's the beef? Because I'm really tired of waking up and seeing you using this big drama to distract from other s--t going online for you. Not interested, I know what happened, and so do you."
Earle, 25, promised to spill the tea soon, writing in the comments under Cooper's video, "Okay on it!!" The 'Dancing With the Stars' alum also shared a TikTok on April 14th, revealing her reaction to Cooper's video that she said "literally made my whole day."
Fellow content creator Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia even got involved in the drama, publicly siding with Earle in her own set of TikTok videos on April 15th. And as the accusations continue to fly across social media, Cooper has maintained that "this is not a PR stunt."
