Alex Cooper, host of the popular podcast “Call Her Daddy,” faced backlash from fans after dropping a surprise interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite the teaser video showing Cooper interviewing the Democratic presidential nominee, some fans of the show, known as the “Daddy Gang,” expressed frustration and criticized the podcast for getting political. Many fans commented on the post expressing disappointment and even claimed they would no longer listen to the podcast.
Fans lashed out at Cooper and Harris for failing to address more pressing matters during the interview, such as the Biden-Harris administration’s response to Hurricane Helene’s devastation and illegal immigration. Some fans felt that the interview was propaganda and criticized Cooper for not focusing on important issues. While Harris did speak about strategies to combat domestic violence, fans wanted her to address other important topics, such as the accusations against her husband, Doug Emhoff, for allegedly hitting an ex-girlfriend while intoxicated.
During the podcast appearance, Harris discussed her early career as a prosecutor and her dedication to defending victims of domestic abuse. She emphasized the importance of addressing child sexual assault and not stigmatizing the issue. Harris also criticized former President Trump for appointing Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade and spreading misinformation about her stance on abortion. She vehemently denied Trump’s claims and called them inaccurate and insulting.
“Call Her Daddy” is known for featuring discussions about sex and advice for women. Cooper’s show has been incredibly successful, ranking as the second-best-performing podcast on Spotify last year. The podcast has featured interviews with top celebrities, including Simone Biles, Miley Cyrus, Megan Fox, Emily Ratajkowski, and Hailey Bieber. In August, “Call Her Daddy” moved from Spotify to SiriusXM in a reported $125 million deal, and Cooper has also launched her own network platform called Unwell Network.
Despite the backlash from some fans over the interview with Kamala Harris, “Call Her Daddy” remains a popular podcast with a large following. Host Alex Cooper continues to bring in high-profile guests and provide entertaining and informative content for her audience. While the podcast may have faced criticism for getting political, Cooper’s success and ability to attract A-list celebrities indicate that “Call Her Daddy” will likely continue to thrive in the podcast industry. Cooper’s willingness to push boundaries and tackle controversial topics has contributed to the success of the show, making it a favorite among listeners.
