If you aren't already clued in on the drama surrounding the Call Her Daddy podcast, fear not. We've got a detailed recap that will give you context and a look at how a podcast empire on the rise was nearly derailed.
Over the weekend, Alex Cooper, one half of the hosting duo behind the hit podcast, finally broke her silence to share her side of the story. It's as dramatic as you'd expect, but to the excitement of fans, it concluded with Alex announcing that the podcast will be returning this week with her hosting solo.
Somewhere along the way, Scooter Braun got involved. Yes, that Scooter Braun, allegedly hoping to negotiate a way for Sofia Franklyn to have her spot back on the show.
I had a convo with @scooterbraun He wanted to make it clear he wants nothing to do with this drama. I gave him my word I wouldn’t tweet about him again.Then this video happened. My hands are tied. To quote Bill Parcells.I reserve the right to change my mind. Slave to content
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy said on social media that Braun had claimed to represent Peter Nelson, aka "suitman," in the ongoing dispute.
Needless to say, Portnoy wasn't interested. At all.
Heading rumors @scooterbraun called a woman whose last name rhymes with Cardini on behalf of Suitman to beg for 50% of CHD back. Umm Suitman it’s a wrap bro. You lost. #callherdaddy
But he appears to be loving the outcome of all the drama.

People online have also become invested in the drama, whether they're a fan of the podcast or not.
Do I listen to Call Her Daddy? No. Did I just watch a half hour YouTube video and declare my allegiance to Alex Cooper? Yes.
