Freida McFadden: Best-Selling Author of The Housemaid Reveals True Identity
- On Wednesday, bestselling author Freida McFadden revealed her true identity as Dr. Sara Cohen, a physician who treats brain disorders, ending years of public speculation about her real name.
- McFadden originally adopted the pseudonym, wig, and glasses to prevent her writing career from conflicting with her hospital job, citing she felt "completely overwhelmed" by attempting both simultaneously.
- Cohen decided it was time to end public debates questioning whether she is "a real person or if I'm three men," stating "I don't have anything to hide."
- Although her coworkers discovered the pseudonym and kept it confidential, she stepped back from full-time medicine in 2023, now working only once or twice monthly as a physician.
- Despite the identity reveal, the author plans to continue writing under the name McFadden, following the theatrical success of 'The Housemaid' film starring Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney.
