SOFIA FRANKLYN DETAILS ALEX COOPER AND DAVE PORTNOY SUSPICIONS IN NEW MEMOIR & RECOUNTS HER SIDE OF THE “CALL HER DADDY” SPLIT
Sofia Franklyn’s upcoming memoir, “Daddy Issues,” is set for release on November 10, but alleged excerpts circulating online are already offering a closer look at the breakdown of her friendship and business partnership with former “Call Her Daddy” co-host Alex Cooper.
As Deuxmoi previously reported, a Reddit user claiming to have received an advance copy of the book shared photographs of select pages alongside a summary of several purported revelations. While the material has not been independently authenticated in full, it offers an early look at Franklyn’s reported perspective on the circumstances surrounding their highly publicized 2020 split.
Among the more surprising revelations is Franklyn’s reported suspicion about the nature of Cooper’s relationship with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who was their boss at the time.
In a passage shared by the Reddit user, Franklyn reportedly recalls a meeting at Portnoy’s apartment during contract renegotiations, where certain interactions between Cooper and Portnoy appeared to leave her questioning the nature of their relationship. At one point, Franklyn recalls wondering, “Jesus Christ, did they fuck or something?”
After Deuxmoi posted about the alleged excerpts this weekend, several readers commented that they recalled hearing similar rumors about Cooper and Portnoy dating back to the early years of “Call Her Daddy.” While those rumors had never previously reached Deuxmoi, the responses suggest the speculation may have circulated at the time. What makes Franklyn’s reported account particularly interesting is that this appears to be the first time she has publicly addressed her own suspicions about their relationship.
The purported excerpts also revisit the financial and professional disagreements that ultimately divided the former co-hosts.
The material further touches on the podcast’s early creative process, including claims attributed to a former contributor identified in the Reddit account as Muji. The summary alleges that he contributed to the show’s comedic writing and that some material intended for Franklyn was ultimately excluded from the podcast. Franklyn also goes on to reinforce longstanding allegations surrounding the origins of the widely recognized “Gluck Gluck nine thousand” segment, claiming that Milf Hunter wrote the material for Alex Cooper, including jokes and specific lines, drawing from content originally circulating on Twitter.
Perhaps most significantly, the purported excerpts offer Franklyn’s perspective on the negotiations that ended the original “Call Her Daddy” partnership.
According to the Reddit user’s summary, Franklyn believed she and Cooper were initially aligned in their decision to renegotiate their contracts. However, the account alleges that Cooper ultimately pursued a separate agreement, leaving Franklyn with a different understanding of how their professional relationship would move forward. The dispute culminated in their widely publicized 2020 split, with Cooper continuing “Call Her Daddy” and Franklyn subsequently launching her own podcast, “Sofia with an F.”
The circulating material suggests that Franklyn’s memoir will address not only the contractual disagreements that ended their partnership, but also the personal dynamics and behind-the-scenes conversations that she believes contributed to its collapse.
