The Call Her Daddy drama continues ...
Co-hosts of the popular smutty podcast Sofia Franklyn and Alexandra Cooper made headlines after contract negotiations with their employer surfaced. Barstool Sports owns the rights of CHD and the girls were locked right into a three-year deal with the corporate.

He revealed that Sofia's boyfriend — recognized to the Daddy Gang as "Suitman" — is Peter Nelson, who's the chief vp of HBO Sports. “[Peter] was overtly shopping Call Her Daddy. He was once acting almost as a supervisor, and he got a take care of Wondery," Dave explained to listeners. "They had been going to name the podcast The Fathers."

The Barstool exec explained that he renegotiated the deal and guaranteed them each $500,000 bonuses from merchandise sold, and their contract shortened by six months. Though Alex wanted to take the deal, Sofia declined. In a recent video, Alex broke down the CHD drama in a two-year timeline.
Ultimately, the podcast host decided to take the deal offered by Barstool. With Sofia seemingly out of a job, Suitman got his entertainment exec buddies involved in the drama. Not a smart move, Suitman.
Barstool founder Dave Portnoy calls out Scooter Braun for involving himself in 'CHD' drama.
Since Alex decided to take the deal and continue her employment with Barstool Sports, Peter reportedly had his friend Scooter Braun call Barstool CEO Erika Nardini to ask for a portion of Call Her Daddy back. Apparently, she realized the mistake she made by not taking the deal.

The music executive, who is Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande's manager, probably did not realize that the phone call would not sit well with Dave. The Barstool owner posted an Instagram video calling out Scooter, explaining that Suitman asked Scooter to place a call to the CEO of the company to request that Sofia receive 50 percent of CHD.
"We do not give a f--k who you might be, what fit your needs put on, what corporate you work for. We do issues our means, the honest method," he said in the social media video.

After being blasted by the Barstool founder on social media, Scooter seemingly backed away from the drama he was getting involved in.
"I had a convo with @scooterbraun. He wanted to make it clear he wants not anything to do with this drama. I gave him my phrase I wouldn’t tweet about him again," Dave tweeted. "Then this video happened. My hands are tied. To quote Bill Parcells. I reserve the precise to change my mind. Slave to content."
