Harry Jowsey Slammed by Fans after New Podcast Announcement

It’s good times for Harry Jowsey as he becomes the newest addition to Alex Cooper’s The Unwell Network.

Deadline was the first to report this news, which The Unwell Network later announced on their respective social media handles. The network’s Instagram handle posted two pictures. “Harry Jowsey is officially Unwell” was written in the first photo.

The second picture was of Jowsey infront of a Unwell logo. “It’s about damn time. @harryjowsey welcome to the Unwell Network,” they captioned their announcement, a joint post made in collaboration with Jowsey.

Moments after the announcement, The Unwell Network’s Instagram handle made another post, sharing a video of Jowsey. Via the video, the internet star announced that he has a new podcast, which will be released on February 27, 2024.

His new podcast name is Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey. “Hello! You naughty little possums. It’s me, Harry Jowsey, and I am officially Unwell. I can’t believe I get to say this. It’s been a long time coming,” Jowsey said in the video and announced his new podcast.

“HE’S BOYFRIEND MATERIAL. @harryjowsey was a walking red flag… but now he’s @boyfriendmaterial !!! The internet’s boyfriend is coming to you with a new show on February 27th; get ready, you naughty little possums,” The Unwell Network captioned their post.

While the news might be good for Jowsey and The Unwell Network, it wasn’t for many netizens. They immediately took to the comment section of the posts related to Jowsey’s announcements and expressed their unhappiness with the news.

For instance, one Instagram user simply wrote, “No,” while another Instagram user commented, “Ima pass on this one. It’s 2024, and us women are over supporting little boys that think they can be misogynistic towards us.”

Likewise, when one user commented, “He treats women terribly but ok..,” another joined the frame and wrote, “Nothing is boyfriend material about this guy.”

Many also questioned The Unwell Network’s decision. One wrote, “The Unwell Network signing Alex’s bestie just because he’s famous is a lazy business move… it’s brand tarnishing.” “NO. I liked the unwell network… not anymore,” another added.

Similarly, some Instagram users remembered Jowsey’s troublesome breakup with his now-former girlfriend Georgia Hassarati. One wrote, “Want to love this but remember how they did Georgia dirty and the Daddy Gang isn’t about tearing down women.”

“This is disgusting like why sign him after what he did to Georgia,” one fan added. Another netizen said, “Yeah, this is a little disappointing when you continuously talk about uplifting women and how to get over toxic men. But then you employ a toxic man?”

As of this writing, neither Jowsey nor The Unwell Network has responded to these adverse reactions of the fans. Cooper – co-founder of Trending, a subsidiary of The Unwell Network – has also not responded to fans’ backlash to the announcement.

However, Cooper did speak a bit about the announcement itself. She told Deadline, “Harry is already a Call Her Daddy fan favorite and with Boyfriend Material we’re exploring a side of him that the world definitely does not get enough of and some people may not expect.”

“There’s just something about Harry that’s hard to put your finger on; he’s so honest, lovable, and wonderfully absurd. I can’t wait to see where his journey with Unwell goes as this is just the beginning,” the Call Her Daddy host concluded her statement.

Similarly, Jowsey also made a statement to the outlet as he said, “I have always been such a big fan of Alex and Call Her Daddy, and when she created The Unwell Network, I was hopeful for the possibility of working with her in the future.”

“I am super grateful their team chose me to be a part of their growing network, and I can’t wait to be working alongside such incredible minds and inspiring people in this space. Alex is truly amazing, as is her entire team, so I am super excited for this new venture with them and can’t wait to have people listen in and see what we are creating,” Jowsey added.

Speaking a little of Jowsey joining The Unwell Network, Deadline reported that Jowsey would develop several multi-platform projects with the network, starting with his new podcast Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey.
