Alex Cooper ‘freaking out’ over book that implies fling with Dave Portnoy by ex-‘Call Her Daddy’ co-host Sofia Franklyn

Alex Cooper is reportedly trying to learn what her former “Call Her Daddy” co-host Sofia Franklyn says in an upcoming memoir, which is being kept tightly under wraps. A source says the book hints that Cooper may have had a fling with their former boss, Dave Portnoy, a claim that could renew attention on the pair’s public falling-out.

Franklyn and Cooper co-created the podcast before Franklyn left Barstool Sports in 2020 amid contract negotiations; Cooper retained the show’s intellectual property. The memoir, “Daddy Issues”, is due out on Tuesday, when Franklyn is also scheduled to appear on “The Adam Friedland Show”. According to a source with an advance copy, it recounts a visit to Portnoy’s apartment and Franklyn wondering whether Cooper and Portnoy had slept together; the article says the timing is unclear and neither Cooper nor Portnoy had commented.
