Cooper & Franklyn: Podcast IP Battle!
14 Aug
Summary
- Alex Cooper secured intellectual property rights to Call Her Daddy.
- Sofia Franklyn departed the podcast due to contract disagreements.
- Cooper's podcast deals later reached over $100 million in value.
Alex Cooper has detailed her split from former "Call Her Daddy" co-host Sofia Franklyn, emphasizing her successful acquisition of the podcast's intellectual property. This crucial ownership was secured during contentious contract renegotiations with Barstool Sports.
Cooper recounted that while she was willing to extend their Barstool contract for another year in exchange for the IP, Franklyn was not. Franklyn ultimately exited the podcast in 2020, citing failed contract talks.
Following her departure from the Barstool agreement, Cooper inked a significant $60 million deal with Spotify in 2021. By 2024, her subsequent podcast ventures had secured deals reportedly worth over $100 million.
