Alex Cooper, the host of the popular podcast *Call Her Daddy*, sparked backlash among some of her fans when she released a surprise interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. The podcast’s Instagram account posted a teaser of the interview on Sunday, catching many of Cooper’s listeners off guard.
While the podcast is known for its discussions on sex, relationships, and advice for women, some members of the “Daddy Gang” criticized the interview for being overly political. They expressed their frustration in the comment section, with many saying they felt alienated by the political nature of the conversation.
The criticism from fans centered around their perception that *Call Her Daddy* should be an escape from politics, and they were disappointed by the inclusion of a political figure like Harris. Some users even declared they would stop listening to the podcast altogether, accusing Cooper of using her platform for political propaganda.
Others were upset that Cooper didn’t address more urgent political issues during the interview, such as the Biden-Harris administration’s response to Hurricane Helene and the broader topic of illegal immigration. Fans were frustrated that key issues were overlooked in favor of discussions on women’s rights and personal experiences.
Alex Cooper Faces Backlash from Fans After Surprising Political Interview with Kamala Harris
The interview itself featured Harris discussing her experiences as a prosecutor, particularly her work fighting against domestic abuse. She shared how her high school friend’s revelation about abuse inspired her to take up the cause. Harris also spoke about child sexual assault, calling for a broader public discourse around the issue and stressing the importance of not stigmatizing victims.
Despite these powerful statements, the interview did not address the accusations against Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, who had recently been accused of physically assaulting an ex-girlfriend, a topic that went unmentioned during the conversation.
Harris also used the interview to criticize former President Donald Trump, particularly in relation to the Supreme Court justices appointed under his administration, who overturned Roe v. Wade. She fiercely pushed back against Trump’s comments about her position on abortion, describing them as “full of lies” and categorically stating that they were false.
This segment of the interview appeared to highlight Harris’ political stance on women’s rights, further fueling the ire of fans who felt the podcast should steer clear of political discussions.
Cooper’s podcast, *Call Her Daddy*, has garnered a large following and significant success, topping Spotify’s charts, especially among female listeners. Known for featuring candid conversations about relationships, sex, and personal stories, the show has also hosted high-profile guests, including Simone Biles, Miley Cyrus, and Megan Fox.
The podcast’s jump from Spotify to SiriusXM in a $125 million deal in August signaled its growing influence. Despite the success, this unexpected political interview with Kamala Harris has raised questions about the direction of the show and the expectations of its audience.
