Sofia Franklyn Suggests Alex Cooper Leaked a Private Photo of Noah Syndergaard

Sofia Franklyn is revisiting an early chapter of her relationship with Alex Cooper—and making a pointed allegation in her new memoir, Daddy Issues. The former Call Her Daddy co-host says a private photo she took at Cooper’s request later surfaced on a sports website, and she suggests Cooper may have been the one who shared it. Franklyn recounts that she and Cooper had only recently met when Cooper asked her to discreetly photograph Cooper having dinner with baseball pitcher Noah Syndergaard. According to Franklyn’s account, Cooper and Syndergaard had split at the time, and Cooper wanted the picture in case she later needed to send it to his mother. Franklyn says she took the photograph and sent it to Cooper. She writes that the image appeared on a sports website in January 2018, and argues that only she and Cooper had access to it. The memoir’s account therefore points toward Cooper as the possible source, but Franklyn does not describe having proof that Cooper sent the image to the site. The alleged episode dates back to the pair’s time together on Call Her Daddy, which they co-hosted from 2018 until 2020. Franklyn left the show, and Cooper continued as its solo host. The former collaborators’ shared history gives the story an added edge, but the claim here is Franklyn’s recollection as presented in her book. Cooper’s response was not included in the report. The outlet said it had contacted her for comment but had not received a reply at the time of publication. For now, Franklyn’s memoir offers her version of how the image reached the public, while Cooper has not publicly addressed the allegation in the account provided.
