Sofia Franklyn Says Alex Cooper and Matt Kaplan Want to Discredit Her Memoir

She made the claim on a podcast as she prepares to release Daddy Issues.
Franklyn and Alex Cooper split from Call Her Daddy in 2020 after disagreeing over a deal to continue the show with Barstool Sports.
Franklyn said she had heard Cooper and her husband, Matt Kaplan, had criticized the book privately, but she did not specify what they allegedly said.
She fears the dispute could affect her family, including her husband.
Cooper's representatives had not responded to a request for comment, and Franklyn hopes readers will hear her perspective as the memoir comes out.
