Alex Cooper, host of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, faced backlash from some of her fans after dropping a surprise interview with Vice President Kamala Harris on her show. The podcast’s Instagram account posted a teaser video of Cooper interviewing Harris, which led to criticism from some “Daddy Gang” members who were displeased with the political turn of the show. Fans expressed frustration in the comments, with some stating they would no longer listen to the podcast due to Harris’ appearance.
Fans criticized the show for getting political, with comments expressing disappointment and disgust at the interview. Some fans felt that the podcast was a way to escape from daily politics and were upset that politics were brought into the show. Others were frustrated that more pressing matters, such as Hurricane Helene’s devastation and illegal immigration, were not addressed during the interview. Despite Harris speaking about strategies to combat domestic violence, she did not address accusations against her husband, Doug Emhoff, regarding alleged domestic abuse.
Accusations against Doug Emhoff surfaced last week, claiming that he hit an ex-girlfriend while intoxicated back in May 2012, which Emhoff’s representative later denied. During the podcast interview, Harris shared her motivation to advocate against domestic abuse, inspired by a friend’s experience of abuse during high school. Harris criticized Trump for appointing Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade and rebutted claims about her stance on abortion made by Trump, calling them inaccurate and insulting.
“Call Her Daddy” is a popular podcast known for discussions about sex and advice for women. Cooper’s show has been successful, ranking second on Spotify last year and topping charts among women listeners. The podcast has featured interviews with A-list celebrities such as Simone Biles, Miley Cyrus, and Hailey Bieber. In August, the podcast moved to SiriusXM in a reported $125 million deal, and Cooper also launched the Unwell Network platform last year.
Despite the backlash from some fans, Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast continues to be a successful platform for open discussions about sex, advice for women, and interviews with celebrities.

Cooper’s move to SiriusXM and the launch of the Unwell Network platform have further solidified her position as a prominent figure in podcasting.
