We read Sofia Franklyn’s memoir about her falling out with Alex Cooper so you don’t have to

Key Points:

• Sofia Franklyn, co-creator of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, released her memoir "Daddy Issues," detailing her fallout with co-host Alex Cooper and their split in 2020.
• The podcast, known for its candid discussions on taboo topics, rose to fame under Barstool Sports, but Cooper continued solo after their professional split, securing lucrative deals with Spotify and SiriusXM.
• Franklyn reveals warnings from people close to Cooper about her loyalty, an alleged attempt by Cooper to get Franklyn fired, and disputes over contract negotiations and intellectual property ownership.
• Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy sided with Cooper, who proposed continuing the podcast without Franklyn, leading to Franklyn’s ousting and Cooper posting a widely viewed breakup video labeling Franklyn a "liability."
• Franklyn’s memoir also mentions a legal threat from Cooper’s husband, producer Matt Kaplan, though representatives deny any intent to sue over the book’s claims.
