Alix Earle Made a Very Pointed TikTok About Sofia Franklyn’s Call Her Daddy Tell-All Book

A TikTok draws attention

Alix Earle appeared to support Sofia Franklyn’s new tell-all memoir, Daddy Issues, by sharing a TikTok of herself reading it. The book recounts the falling out between Franklyn and Alex Cooper over Call Her Daddy. Earle added the words “There’s a first time for everything!!!” to the video, poking fun at an Interview magazine Q&A in which she said she had never read a book.

The podcast breakup

Franklyn and Cooper had a public falling out in 2020 after disagreeing over negotiations with Barstool. Cooper continued Call Her Daddy without Franklyn in 2021.

Earle and Cooper’s reported rift

Cooper signed Earle as one of the first podcasters on the Unwell Network in August 2023, with Earle hosting Hot Mess. The network dropped the podcast in February 2025.

Sources told Us Weekly the two had clashed over business and that their friendship had ended. Earle’s TikTok supporting Franklyn’s book follows that reported dispute.

Franklyn on writing the memoir

Franklyn described the writing process to Rolling Stone as intense and said the book required her to lay everything bare. She also called the experience the most enriching thing she had done. The memoir adds details about the Call Her Daddy split, which occurred six years before the article’s account of its release.
