Well, well, well. Or unwell, unwell, unwell, I should say. Approximately three seconds after Grace O’Malley announced she’s leaving Barstool (that Insta Story statement was three days ago), she’s already figured out her next move: Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network. I am dying because during the December 18 episode of BFFs, Brianna Chickenfry and Dave Portnoy were going on and on about how Grace wanted to ditch podcasting and focus on comedy anyway. Yeah, it seems she just wanted to ditch them. And I applaud her for that. As JoJo Siwa once said, “Karma’s a bitch / Dave and Bri shoulda known better.”
Fans were wondering WTF was happening when Alex posted a screenshot yesterday showing that she had a 38-minute call with Grace. Many of us wondered if that meant the comedian was going on Call Her Daddy to share her side of the PlanBri podcast drama and Bri friendship breakup story. But this news is even more iconic! Here’s everything to know about Grace O’Malley signing with Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network.
One day after Alex’s cryptic screenshot of the Grace phone call, the Unwell Network shared the announcement in a chaotic, on-brand Instagram dump. It’s an assortment of random, silly photos and videos of Grace, as well as videos of her celebrating the new partnership. In one clip, Grace is about to pour herself a glass of champagne, and she says: “That went great. That went fuckin’ great, dude. Time to celebrate.” I imagine she took this after that 38-minute phone call. In the last video in the dump, Grace is partying with a group of friends, and she screams, “I’M UNWELLLL” as they cheer for her.

The caption reads, “@gracekomalley IS UN-F*CKING-WELL!!! Welcome home ❤️👏😉.” (What I would give to see Dave’s initial reaction to this). Alex reposted the announcement dump on her Story and wrote, “WELCOME HOME.” So yeah, I’d expect a new Grace solo podcast coming soon!! The people have only been wanting this for centuries. There are no details about Grace’s next project yet, but I’m so happy for this queen.
Dave and Bri have yet to make any statements about Grace joining the Unwell Network, but lord knows they will have a lot to say about it. They’re not exactly known for keeping their mouths shut, especially when it comes to Grace. Stay tuned…
