A little more than a month later, everyone involved suddenly started speaking on the record, unfolding somewhat conflicting but mostly agreeing stories about how the women, allegedly with support from Franklyn’s boyfriend who was an HBO executive, tried to shop the podcast to other companies.
There’s not enough time to explain everything here, but in short, Alex Cooper originally hosted Call Her Daddy, which is produced by Barstool Sports, alongside her friend Sofia Franklyn.
Cooper eventually ended up returning to Barstool, cutting Franklyn out and moving forward with the show on her own, plus a rotating list of guests that now includes Miley Cyrus.
The show suddenly stopped producing new episodes in April, leading fans to speculate on what was happening.
