Alex Cooper of 'Call Her Daddy' Addresses 'Saturday Night Live's' Influencer Parody
Cooper Responds to 'Weekend Update' Skit
Alex Cooper, the host of the popular podcast "Call Her Daddy," has responded to a recent "Saturday Night Live" skit that parodied influencer culture. The skit, which aired during the show's "Weekend Update" segment, featured an exaggerated version of Cooper, complete with a fake accent and overly sexualized content.
In a recent episode of her podcast, Cooper addressed the parody, saying that she found it "funny" and "flattering." However, she also expressed some concerns about the way that the skit portrayed female influencers.
Cooper's Concerns
Cooper said that she was concerned that the skit perpetuated the stereotype that female influencers are nothing more than "fake" and "shallow." She argued that this stereotype is harmful because it can discourage women from pursuing careers in influencer marketing.
"I think it's important to remember that influencers are real people," Cooper said. "We're not just these caricatures that 'Saturday Night Live' makes us out to be."
Cooper also said that she was concerned that the skit could make it harder for influencers to be taken seriously. She argued that the skit reinforces the idea that influencer marketing is nothing more than a joke.
Cooper's Hope
Despite her concerns, Cooper said that she hopes that the skit will ultimately lead to a more nuanced conversation about influencer culture. She said that she hopes that people will start to see that influencers are more than just their online personas.
"I hope that this skit can start a conversation about the real challenges that influencers face," Cooper said. "We're not just these perfect people that you see on social media. We're real people with real struggles."
