Despite her exceptional rise to fame, not a lot of people know who the mastermind behind Call Her Daddy is. Here’s the lowdown on Alexandra Cooper.

After Call Her Daddy took off and people began engaging with it, Barstool Sports founder, David Portnoy got in touch with the friends and were interested in working with them on the podcast.

Over the three years, they were paid $75,000, $85,000 and $100,000 for the podcast. The friends later asked for a raise and after being turned down, David Portnoy did a U-turn and offered way more money. However it was after this that Alex and Sofia’s friendship began to break down.

From its start three years ago, the show has always been about challenging the status quo and manifesting conversations that previously only happened behind closed doors.”
