What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and following the Call Her Daddy
podcast drama earlier this year, Sofia Franklyn is in full redemption mode as she just announced
a brand new podcast of her own.
The drama between ex-co-hosts Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklyn of the popular Barstool
Sports podcast ‘Call Her Daddy’ has finally subsided, and after five months of being radio
silent, Sofia has just announced a brand new podcast, Sofia With An F, coming very soon.
Wednesday, Sofia broke her four-month Instagram silence to share the announcement featuring
a new promo photo, along with the caption, “I’m back.
Link in bio.
Subscribe sloots.”
She also took to her Instagram stories to share a teaser photo of her podcast equipment,
writing, “Here goes nothin.”
Although Sofia didn’t give many more details as to what she’ll be covering, many fans
are sure she’ll be addressing the backlash and the rumors surrounding her and Alex’s
fallout earlier this year -- one reason being her cryptic podcast teaser that was also released
via Apple Podcasts.
Just before Sofia introduces the new podcast, we hear all the harsh rumors that were said
about her back in May, which led Alex to share her side of the story via a 34-minute long
YouTube video.
Before Alex’s video, Sofia briefly shared her side in a three-minute Instagram video,
which led many fans to think that the fallout happened because of Sofia’s boyfriend, aka
‘Suitman.’
Sofia was immediately labeled as ‘canceled’ while fans accused her of ruining the show
for both her & Alex.
As many members of the Daddy Gang know, Alex and Sofia, who’ve hosted the explicit, sex-positive
show together since 2018, were rumored to have been feuding back in early May over a
contract dispute with Barstool.
Fans took notice that there hadn’t been any episodes uploaded in weeks, which is unusual
for their typical once-a-week schedule.
Cryptic messages began popping up on Call Her Daddy’s Instagram page, confirming that
the second they are able to speak out due to legal purposes, they will.
But the truth finally came out when Sofia claimed that Alex “stabbed her in the back”
after receiving a pay raise, to which she refused to be Alex’s “employee”.
That’s when Alex broke down everything that had been happening over the past year between
contracts, friendships and Sofia’s new boyfriend, Peter Nelson AKA Suitman, who meddled his
way into the drama and allegedly tried to help the girls shop Call Her Daddy around
to different outlets.
This led to a complete fallout between Alex and Sofia after Alex wanted to stay with Barstool
and Sofia did not.
Alex disagreed with the outlandish requests that Suitman helped Sofia draft, to which
Alex then met with Barstool founder Dave Portnoy to accept an offer he originally made with
them.
Alex has since gone on to record Call Her Daddy as a solo host featuring guest hosts
each week, and she’s even managed to continue the success of the show, tacking on big names
like Miley Cyrus to the list.
Sofia’s radio silence has almost spoken volumes, in a sense, and since the announcement
of her return, fans have become even more curious as to what tea she’ll be spilling.
One user wrote, “Alright if I’m being honest I will listen to the Sofia With an
F podcast because I’m curious OK.”
Another person wrote, “I’m definitely Daddy Gang but I am for SURE subscribing to
Sofia with an F. I need tea from the other side.
And I miss listening to them together but will settle for separate podcasts.”
Others are still in full support of Alex and refuse to tune into Sofia’s new venture,
like this person, who said, “Sofia Franklyn really thinks that fans of Call Her Daddy
are going to support her when she sold out her show with unrealistic expectations, all
for some d**k?
No thanks, take that F & find a new career.”
And this fan wrote, “The only daddy I see is Father @AlexandraCooper, Sofia who?”
As of right now there is no premiere date for Sofia With An F, but “Dramageddon”
Round 2 may soon be approaching, so prepare as you must, Daddy Gang.
