Sofia Franklyn's shocking stories about Alex Cooper and more bombshells revealed in 'Daddy Issues'

It's just so crazy because Alex makes such a convincing YouTube video and she brings up like Scooter Braun and she brings up my agent and all these men trying to run her show. And it's a little bit like, but you literally ran to Dave and rolled over and. Nearly six years after her time on Call Her Daddy, Sophia Franklin is telling her side of the story. The Sophia with an F host's memoir, Daddy Issues, is already creating plenty of buzz across the internet. Franklin's 240 page book touches on everything from her upbringing in Utah, drug use, sexual harassment, to the rise and fall of her time on Call Her Daddy. In just one of the many bombshells revealed, Franklin accused Alex Cooper of staging paparazzi photos with her ex-boyfriend Noah Syndergaard to trap him. Franklin recalls her former co-host's on-again-off-again relationship with the MLB star, who was playing for the New York Mets at the time. During one of Cooper's breaks from the athlete, he invited her to dinner, and she figured he was going to ask her to be his girlfriend again. While the podcaster was getting ready for the date, she allegedly asked Franklin, who was her roommate in New York City at the time, to get a picture of the couple at the restaurant. Franklin misunderstood at first and thought Cooper wanted her to meet up with them, but soon figured out that her then-friend wanted paparazzi-type s**t. Quote, he's just such a s**t, and I want to have them in case I need to send them to his mom, she allegedly pleaded with Franklin, who agreed to the plot. After successfully getting the snap of the pair, Sophia writes that the photo ended up on a Z-list sports coverage site that covers women linked to semi-famous athletes, matching an article from January 2018, in which an anonymous tipster sent in the pic. However, Franklin writes that she didn't leak the photo, and no one else had access to it besides her and Cooper. Franklin's new tell-all details her infamous 2020 exit from Call Her Daddy, the sex and relationship podcast she co-founded with Cooper, who has solo-hosted it ever since. The former bestie's contentious contract negotiations with podcast distributor Barstool Sports and its founder Dave Portnoy publicly played out in the media at the time, but now she shares her side of the story. Earlier this month, Page Six Hollywood exclusively reported that Cooper, who is now married to film producer Matt Kaplan and welcomed her first child last month, was, quote, freaking out over the book's release and was trying to get her hands on it before publication. Daddy Issues is the first time Franklin has extensively detailed the end of her friendship and working relationship with Alex Cooper. The pair co-hosted the Call Her Daddy podcast together until 2020, when their Barstool Sports contract negotiations and And eventual fallout sparked headlines. Cooper has since hosted the podcast Solo, moving into Spotify and now SiriusXM. And in the wake of her own public falling out with Alex Cooper, Alex Earle posted a TikTok, quietly reading the new release.
