During a Wednesday appearance on CNBC, podcast host Alex Cooper pushed back on Dave Portnoy's claim that she planned to fabricate sexual harassment allegations to get out of her Barstool contract. Cooper, who co-hosted "Call Her Daddy" with Portnoy between 2018 and 2020, appeared on the show to discuss her recent departure from Barstool and the valuation of her own company, Unwell, which reached $500 million.

When confronted with Portnoy's allegations from his June memoir "Cancel Me If You Can," Cooper admitted she had not read the book, but insisted she did not remember the incident as Portnoy described it. She emphasized their complicated relationship, stating, "That's not how I remember that at all," while acknowledging Portnoy's role in her start in the industry.

Cooper also declined to directly deny Portnoy's claim, saying, "But I also am like, Dave's got his version, and I’ve got my version, and we're all good."
