Sofia Franklyn accuses Alex Cooper of staging paparazzi photos of ex-Mets player boyfriend Noah Syndergaard to trap him

Sofia Franklyn alleges in her new memoir that her former “Call Her Daddy” co-host, Alex Cooper, arranged for paparazzi-style photographs of Cooper with then-boyfriend Noah Syndergaard. Franklyn says Cooper wanted the picture as potential leverage during a break in their on-again, off-again relationship.

Franklyn recalls Cooper asking her, while they were flatmates in New York, to photograph the pair at dinner in 2018. She says the image later appeared on a sports gossip site after an anonymous tip, but insists she did not share it and that only she and Cooper had access. Cooper has not commented, and her representative was contacted for comment; the memoir also revisits Franklyn’s 2020 departure from the podcast.
