00:00It's just so crazy because Alex makes such a convincing YouTube video and she brings
00:07up like Scooter Braun and she brings up my agent and all these men trying to run her
00:17show and it's a little bit like, but you literally ran to Dave and rolled over and
00:29let, you know, gave Dave what he wanted.
00:32Yeah.
00:33Nearly six years after her time on Call Her Daddy, Sophia Franklin is telling her side of
00:38the story.
00:38The Sophia with an F host memoir, Daddy Issues, is already creating plenty of buzz across the
00:44internet.
00:44Franklin's 240 page book touches on everything from her upbringing in Utah, drug use, sexual
00:50harassment, to the rise and fall of her time on Call Her Daddy.
00:53In just one of the many bombshells revealed, Franklin accused Alex Cooper of staging paparazzi
00:59photos with her ex-boyfriend Noah Syndergaard to trap him.
01:02Franklin recalls her former co-host on-again, off-again relationship with the MLB star who
01:07was playing for the New York Mets at the time.
01:09During one of Cooper's breaks from the athlete, he invited her to dinner and she figured he
01:14was going to ask her to be his girlfriend again.
01:16While the podcaster was getting ready for the date, she allegedly asked Franklin, who
01:20was her roommate in New York City at the time, to get a picture of the couple at the restaurant.
01:24Franklin misunderstood at first and thought Cooper wanted her to meet up with them, but
01:28soon figured out that her then-friend wanted paparazzi-type shit.
01:32Quote,
01:33He's just such a shit and I want to have them in case I need to send them to his
01:37mom,
01:37she allegedly pleaded with Franklin, who agreed to the plot.
01:41After successfully getting the snap of the pair, Sophia writes that the photo ended up on a
01:45Z-list sports coverage site that covers women linked to semi-famous athletes, matching an
01:50article from January 2018, in which an anonymous tipster sent in the pic.
01:55However, Franklin writes that she didn't leak the photo and no one else had access to it
01:59besides her and Cooper.
02:01Franklin's new tell-all details her infamous 2020 exit from Call Her Daddy, the sex and
02:06relations with podcast she co-founded with Cooper, who has solo hosted it ever since.
02:10The former Bestie's contentious contract negotiations with podcast distributor Barstool Sports and
02:16its founder Dave Portnoy publicly played out in the media at the time, but now she shares
02:21her side of the story.
02:22Earlier this month, Page Six Hollywood exclusively reported that Cooper, who is now married to
02:27film producer Matt Kaplan and welcomed her first child last month, was, quote,
02:31freaking out over the book's release and was trying to get her hands on it before publication.
02:36Daddy Issues is the first time Franklin has extensively detailed the end of her friendship
02:40and working relationship with Alex Cooper.
02:43The pair co-hosted the Call Her Daddy podcast together until 2020, when their Barstool Sports
02:48contract negotiations and eventual fallout sparked headlines.
02:52Cooper has since hosted the podcast solo, moving into Spotify and now SiriusXM.
02:57And in the wake of her own public falling out with Alex Cooper, Alex Earl posted a TikTok,
03:02quietly reading the new release.
03:06Have a great day.
03:07Bye bye.
03:08Bye bye.
