Sofia Franklyn Says Alex Cooper and Matt Kaplan’s Reaction Worries Her

Speaking on “The Bossticks with Lauryn and Michael Bosstick” on Monday, November 9, Franklyn said she had expected to feel ready for the attention around the memoir, which revisits her former partnership with Cooper. “I thought I was bulletproof,” she said, adding that she had begun to wonder, “How dirty are they gonna play?” The book went on sale Tuesday, November 10.

Franklyn named Cooper and Kaplan when describing her concerns. “How dirty are they gonna play it, where are they gonna, like, go after people I love? That I do not like,” she said. She added that the possibility of her family or husband becoming “collateral” scared her.

The memoir’s opening pages also address an alleged legal threat. The New York Times reported that Franklyn writes Kaplan learned about the book, called her agent and disputed her account, saying Cooper would sue. Franklyn told the newspaper that nothing further came of the alleged threat. Unwell representatives denied that Kaplan discussed the book’s claims or an intent to sue with Franklyn’s literary agency, Verve.

Verve is reportedly shopping “Daddy Issues” as a possible film or television project, Page Six Hollywood reported. The former co-hosts launched “Call Her Daddy” in 2018. Their partnership broke down in 2020 during contentious negotiations with Barstool Sports; Cooper stayed with the show, while Franklyn left and later built her own podcasting career. The source reports no public response from Cooper or Kaplan to the memoir’s release.
