## Summary

Sofia Franklyn’s memoir, “Daddy Issues”, opens with her account of an alleged legal threat from Matt Kaplan, husband of her former podcast partner Alex Cooper. Franklyn says she remains concerned about possible retaliation after publication, making the book’s release part of the continuing public rift between the former “Call Her Daddy” co-hosts.

The New York Times reported that Franklyn wrote Kaplan called her agent and said Cooper would sue over a story he considered false; representatives for Kaplan and Cooper’s company, Unwell, denied he discussed the claims or intended to sue. Franklyn also says people mentioned in the book are trying to discredit it, while the memoir is reportedly being considered for film or television. Franklyn and Cooper split professionally in 2020, after Cooper gained full ownership of the podcast’s intellectual property.
