What happened between Alexandra and Sofia?
Dave Portnoy, owner of Alexandra, Sofia and Barstool Sports, got into a public feud earlier this year.
Sofia claimed that Alexandra went behind her back to negotiate with Dave, even though she agreed that they would consider other options for the show.

“I found out that Alex went behind my back and did something,” Franklyn said in a video shared earlier this year.
“And I found out it wasn’t the first time. And that is why we are here. I trusted Alex. I feel betrayed, but in the end she was my best friend and that doesn’t change overnight.”
Sofia said at the time that she was “prepared to do Call Her Daddy”, but that she couldn’t do it “under the circumstances that [Alexandra] want.”

Alexandra responded to Sofia’s video with one of her own, claiming that she got a raise in their first year “for editing and doing all the social media and doing all the marketing.”
“I chose not to share this raise with Sofia, and I chose to do so because Sofia made me feel uncomfortable that I was doing more work,” she said in her clip.
Why did Sofia leave the show?
According to Alexandra, she and Sofia have begun negotiating their contracts with Barstool.
They put together a “term sheet” and demanded a million dollar salary.

“In a very reverse way, Dave Portnoy essentially told us to go four ourselves on every single hole possible,” Alexandra said. “…It was awful.”
The two sat down with Dave again, but reportedly had “very different opinions” about what the meeting meant.
10
“After the fact, Sofia made it clear that she was going into more than just a courtesy meeting. I kind of went to f****** God praying that Dave would be in a really good mood and be like, ‘ I will actually give you [the intellectual property to [Call Her Daddy],” she said.
Dave offered the pair $500,000 each and intellectual property rights to the program. While Alexandra was excited, Sofia did not share the same opinion.

The show went through a “ghost period” as the two tried to meet in the middle, but negotiations escalated.
Alexandra then went to Dave to sign her own agreement.
Cooper ended her video by saying she had “lost a friend” but was looking forward to getting the show back on the air.
Where is Sofia now?
Sofia is now back with her own podcast titled Sofia with an F.
She moved from New York, where she and Alexandra lived together, to her hometown of Salt Lake City.

She spoke about her own experience of the feud.
“About four months ago,” she says at one point during the first episode of her show.
“In true 2020 Fashion, I lost my best friend, lost my show and lost my career virtually overnight. And not only that, but I became the subject of a very public, very aggressive smear campaign where I was publicly attacked, bullied and humiliated for months.”

She continued: “I earned over 4% for a show that I not only poured my heart and soul into, but exposed every intricate detail about my mental, emotional and sex life (for) on a weekly basis.

“I know my worth.”
She regrets that Alexandra helped Barstool Sports “destroy her life,” but that “I’m back next week. And the week after that. For f——-g ever. Because I’m not going anywhere.”
