Controversy Erupts Over Sarah Hoover’s New Memoir
Author and socialite Sarah Hoover is facing backlash from her estranged sister, who claims Hoover has irresponsibly exploited personal tragedy in her memoir, "The Motherload." The sister alleges that Hoover disclosed intimate details about her stillbirth—something she explicitly requested not to be included—resulting in significant emotional distress.
Published to critical acclaim in January, “The Motherload” has resonated with many readers, delving into Hoover’s experiences with postpartum depression. However, her sister asserted in a recent Reddit post that the book’s portrayal of her tragic experience led to feelings of betrayal and a subsequent emotional breakdown.
Despite the controversy, Hoover’s publicist has refused to comment, framing the issue as a family matter. The publisher, Simon Element, also declined to respond to inquiries about the allegations.
The sister claims that Hoover previously apologized for revealing details of the stillbirth in an article for Vogue, promising to secure permission for future references. However, she feels that Hoover has now broken that trust, expanding on the issue over three pages in her memoir. The sister contends that Hoover fabricated aspects of the story, specifically denying that Hoover held her deceased son after the birth, a claim she is "certain" about.
This family rift over personal narratives echoes Hoover’s past controversies, including a widely criticized job listing for an assistant that some deemed overly demanding. As the situation unfolds, the sister is calling for Hoover to be held accountable, stating, “my personal sense of morality is literally screaming for consequences.”
As public interest grows, both sisters remain silent, leaving the matter shrouded in uncertainty.
