Sofia Franklyn has alleged in her memoir that Alex Cooper may have passed a photograph of Cooper and baseball player Noah Syndergaard to the press.
Franklyn recounts the episode in “Daddy Issues”, describing her time co-hosting the podcast “Call Her Daddy” with Cooper between 2018 and 2020. Cooper now presents the podcast alone following Franklyn’s departure.
According to Franklyn’s account, Cooper asked her to secretly photograph Cooper having dinner with Syndergaard, her on-again, off-again boyfriend at the time. Franklyn said the pair had split when the request was made, and that she had only recently met Cooper.
Franklyn claims Cooper described Syndergaard as “such a s***” and said she wanted the image in case she needed to send it to his mother.
Franklyn says she took the photograph and sent it to Cooper. She alleges that it later appeared on a sports website in January 2018, suggesting Cooper may have supplied it because the two women were the only people with access to the image.
The claim has not been established as fact. Cooper has been contacted for comment but, so far, has not responded.
