Sofia Franklyn Slams Alex Cooper For "Shady S--t" to Get Ahead

Alex Cooper's next Call Her Daddy guest? Don't count on it being Sofia Franklyn.

Three years after she left Call Her Daddy amid messy contract negotiations with Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy, Franklyn has found peace.

"At this point, I have no room in my life or in my heart to walk around angry at someone," Franklyn told Rolling Stone in an article published July 11. "I wish everyone the best."

Back in 2020, Franklyn walked away from the podcast—now part of Spotify—after Cooper and Portnoy said she was unwillingly to move forward with the deal. However, Franklyn has a different point of view, saying she believed she and Cooper were in agreement over what they wanted, until she felt what she called a "shift of insane magnitude" from Cooper.

"Everything that we had been working toward and planning for the last half a year to year was all of a sudden not the plan anymore and [Cooper thought] we needed to just stay with this company and do what [Portnoy] was saying," Franklyn told RS. "I found out later [Cooper and Portnoy] 1,000 percent had this relationship that I wasn't aware of and not a part of."
