Sofia Franklyn Breaks Silence: Are Alex Cooper & Matt Playing Dirty?

Sofia Franklyn thought she was untouchable. The former "Call Her Daddy" co-host believed her public image was bulletproof until she heard whispers that her ex-partners were working overtime to sink her new book.

According to E! News ^[1], Franklyn appeared on "The Bossticks" podcast on November 9 to address rumors that Alex Cooper and her husband, Matt Kaplan, have been bad-mouthing her memoir, "Daddy Issues," behind closed doors.

Franklyn, 34, said the alleged private comments have made her question what the duo might do publicly to undermine her perspective. "I thought I was bulletproof, and then I started to think how dirty are they gonna play?" she said.

She didn't mince words when naming names. "I'm talking about Alex and Matt, hi. And if you're listening, hi," Franklyn quipped.

The split between Franklyn and Cooper dates back to 2020, when Franklyn exited the hit podcast after a public falling out. Since then, Cooper has expanded her media empire with the Unwell podcast network alongside Kaplan.

Franklyn expressed concern that the conflict could spill over beyond her career. "Are they gonna go after people I love?" she questioned. "That, I do not like. If my family, my husband, becomes collateral, that actually scares me."

The comments mark the first time Franklyn has directly addressed alleged interference from her former creative collaborators in relation to her memoir. While the source of the rumors remains unconfirmed, Franklyn's tone suggests she is bracing for potential public backlash.

Neither Cooper nor Kaplan has publicly responded to Franklyn's accusations. The timing of the remarks comes as Franklyn continues to promote her book, which details her rise and fall within the podcast world.

For now, Franklyn is keeping her cards close to her chest but her warnings loud and clear. She may have started the conversation by calling them out, but she's making it clear she won't let her personal life be used as ammunition.
