How momfluencer Bobbi Althoff went from Internet's biggest stars to quitting podcast amid divorce drama
Momfluencer Bobbi Althoff became an Internet sensation due to her awkward interviews with rap stars but it appears her blase humor has run its course. On July 31, the 27-year-old announced the end of her once-popular series The Really Good Podcast. Her personal life also took a serious hit in last February when her husband Cory Althoff filed for divorce after four years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. Bobbi said in the final episode of her podcast: 'I didn't know I'd fall off as quickly as I did. To be honest, I did think this was going to last a bit longer. 'But, nevertheless, it lasted a minute and I'm proud of the accomplishments I had and I'm pretty sad that it has to end like this - but it's OK.' Over two years ago, Bobbi's deadpan interview with Drake, released in July 2023, quickly racked up close to ten million views and turned the mom-of-two into social media's most viral comedian. Interviews with Mark Cuban, Offset, Scarlett Johansson, and Shaquille O'Neal soon followed, as well as lucrative brand deals and a spot on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list. However, Bobbi's rise to fame was far from smooth-sailing, and the influencer sparked waves criticism almost immediately after her breakout moment. The first hiccup was a public falling out with Drake, which led to their viral episode of her series being wiped from her channel. The pair unfollowed each other on social media and. in 2024. Bobbi was allegedly removed from the rapper's afterparty at the South by Southwest festival in Texas. Around the same time, critics accused her of being an 'industry plant', due to the fact that she'd been able to start booking A-list guests on her podcast so soon. Bobbi jokingly confirmed to actress Keke Palmer that she was an 'industry plant' in a podcast interview last year, and she also made light of the accusations on TikTok. Bobbi's ex-husband Cory listed their official separation date as July, 2023, which aligned with the timing of her viral Drake interview. The split led to her being trolled on social media, which she addressed in a fiery post last year: 'Do you really believe that it was my dream in life to be a divorced mom of two kids by 25? Obviously not. 'I'm obviously insecure about it and wish things played out differently in my life. But that's life. Things don't always end up how we expect them to.' She was also forced to deny cruel claims that she had been sleeping with her male podcast guests and that had contributed to the demise of her marriage. News of the end of her podcast came after she'd signed a new deal for the show with Studio71 last year. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bobbi's working on a TV comedy series after she landed a development deal for her own show.

Inside the downfall of Bobbi Althoff as viral sensation quits her podcast following divorce drama and backlash
She's the monotone momfluencer who became an internet sensation thanks to her awkward interviews with rap royalty. But now, Bobbi Althoff's brand of blasé humor may have finally run its course. Last week, the 27-year-old announced the end of her once-popular podcast, The Really Good Podcast. 'I didn't know I'd fall off as quickly as I did. To be honest, I did think this was going to last a bit longer,' she admitted in the final episode. 'But nevertheless, it lasted a minute and I'm proud of the accomplishments I had and I'm pretty sad that it has to end like this but it's okay.' It comes just over two years after Althoff's deadpan interview with Drake turned her into one of the biggest stars on the internet. The interview, which was released in July 2023, racked up close to 10 million views in just one month and turned the mom-of-two into social media's most viral comedian. Interviews with Mark Cuban, Offset, Scarlett Johansson, Shaquille O'Neal soon followed, as well as lucrative brand deals and a spot on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list. However, Bobbi's rise to fame has been far from smooth sailing, with the influencer sparking waves of backlash almost immediately after her breakout moment. The first hiccup was a public falling out with Drake, which led to their viral episode being wiped from Althoff's channel. The pair unfollowed each other on social media and in 2024 Althoff was allegedly removed from the rapper's after party at the South by Southwest festival in Texas. Around the same time, she was accused by critics of being an 'industry plant,' due to the fact that she'd been able to start booking A-list guests on her podcast so soon. Althoff jokingly confirmed to Keke Palmer that she was an industry plant in a podcast interview last year, and has also made light of the accusations on TikTok before. Her personal life then took a serious hit in February 2024 when her husband Cory filed for divorce after four years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. He listed their official separation date as July, 2023, which aligned with the timing of her viral Drake interview. The split led to the star being trolled on social media, which she addressed in a fiery post last year. 'Do you really believe that it was my dream in life to be a divorced mom of two kids by 25? Obviously not,' she wrote. 'I'm obviously insecure about it and wish things played out differently in my life. But that's life, things don't always end up how we expect them to.' Around the same time, she was seen partying in a Nashville nightclub with comedian Ben Da Donnn, just moments before being carried out slumped over the shoulder of an NFL star. Althoff was also forced to deny cruel claims by trolls that she had been sleeping with her male podcast guests and that it had contributed to the demise of her marriage. 'I never respond to this comment that I've been getting a million times a day for the last year, but I am really sick of seeing it,' she raged. 'Anyone who says stuff like this is so f****** ignorant. You don't know why my marriage ended, that we are both so much happier apart than we ever were together. That now our kids get to see two happy parents instead of zero.' She continued, 'I have never slept with someone I interviewed. I don't sleep around and I rarely ever go out. But you guys can't f****** believe that a woman can be around men without sleeping with them.' Althoff was also forced to deny cruel claims by trolls that she had been sleeping with her male podcast guests and that it had contributed to the demise of her marriage Now Althoff is officially ending her podcast, despite signing a new deal for the show with Studio71 just last year. 'This is a good reminder that all bad things do come to an end,' one listener wrote on YouTube. 'Honestly, I'm not surprised by your downfall,' another commented, while a third wrote, 'Wow she really wasn't joking when she said she fell off. The difference in the numbers compared to just a year ago is staggering.' According to The Hollywood Reporter, Althoff is now working on a TV comedy series after landing a development deal for her own show. But Althoff isn't the only viral influencer to see their fifteen minutes of fame come to an end. Haliey Welch, better known as 'the hawk tuah girl,' has seen a huge dip in her own popularity following her highly publicized crypto scandal. Her hit Talk Tuah podcast went on hiatus following the fallout from the scandal, and since returning the viewers and downloads have noticeably decreased compared to before. In an interview with Vanity Fair in May, the 22-year-old said that her feelings had been 'hurt' by the controversy, which resulted in many of her fans losing money on her ill-fated $HAWK memecoin. 'Half of those people that done it were, like, my fans. They trusted me, like, guiding them to it,' she told the publication. 'And I don't know… it really hurt my feelings when it turned out the way it did. I wish it hadn't have happened.' Elaborating further, Welch admitted that she didn't really even 'understand' crypto but had learned a valuable lesson from the ordeal. 'You got to be really careful what you tie your name to, and you definitely need to know what you're getting yourself into when you agree to do it. That's something I definitely should have done beforehand,' she said. 'I just feel really bad for anybody that lost money. All my comments, if you read those, people are like, "Oh, well, I lost a lot of money in this. Now my kids have to go without stuff." I don't know. It makes me feel, like, really sorry for it.' The group behind the social media star's memecoin - which dramatically crashed just hours after its launch - was sued last year after failing to register the cryptocurrency, according to court records. Although Welch herself wasn't named in the lawsuit, the backlash she received following the crypto crash caused her to exit the public eye for months.

Bobbi Althoff Opens Up About Judging Her Mom for Having Kids by Different Men: 'You Are a Hoe'
Bobbi Althoff is learning the hard way that the same standards we judge others by often circle back to bite us. During a recent candid interview with rapper Lil Tjay on The Really Good Podcast, the viral content creator opened up about the breakdown of her marriage, motherhood, and her complicated relationship with the past, including how she once harshly judged her own mother for decisions she now finds herself unintentionally mirroring. 'You Are a Hoe': Bobbi Admits to Harshly Judging Her Mother In the vulnerable sit-down, Althoff revealed that her current life path, specifically as a co-parent to her two daughters following a divorce, has forced her to revisit the judgments she once hurled at her own mother. 'I judged my mom a lot for doing that,' she admitted around the 13-minute mark of the interview. 'She had two baby daddies and I was like, 'You are a hoe.' And then I got divorced. If I have more kids, I'll have two baby daddies, and that's kind of crazy.' The striking confession stunned listeners for its rawness and honesty. Althoff didn't sugarcoat her hypocrisy. She fully owned it. 'I was married and stuff, and I thought we would be married forever, so I didn't think I was having kids in a broken home, but it happened.' The viral podcaster's self-awareness is cutting and tragically relatable for women who grew up under one set of assumptions only to live through a very different reality. The Divorce: Bobbi and Cory's Split Althoff's split from her now-ex-husband, Cory Althoff, was finalized earlier this year, following a July 4, 2023 separation. In a February Instagram statement announcing their divorce, Bobbi struck a tone of gratitude and mutual respect. 'As most of you have heard, Cory and I have filed for divorce,' she wrote. 'As sad as I am right now, I am so thankful for the time I got to be his wife. Our girls are so lucky to have him as a father & I am so lucky to be able to coparent with such an incredible father and person. While our relationship did not work out as husband and wife, we will always be friends and I will always love him.' The pair, who share two young daughters, continue to co-parent. But the marriage's collapse left Bobbi publicly reevaluating her image and values, especially as she now faces the likelihood of having more children in the future with different partners. The Drake Rumors: What Really Happened? Despite the amicable public breakup, Bobbi's divorce wasn't without speculation. A persistent rumor swirled in 2023 that the catalyst for the Althoffs' split was a rumored hookup between Bobbi and rapper Drake. The speculation ignited after her The Really Good Podcast interview with the Toronto rapper went viral, then mysteriously vanished. Not only was the interview abruptly deleted, but the two unfollowed each other on Instagram shortly after. That alone was enough for social media sleuths to erupt with theories about what might've happened behind the scenes. Althoff, for her part, shut it down. When Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy messaged her on Instagram to ask whether the Drake rumor was true, she replied privately: 'I am not commenting publicly but off the record, you're right, that is not true.' Though the denial was clear, the internet continued to speculate. Bobbi's swift rise to podcast fame with high-profile guests and sharp editing had already turned her into a mysterious, deadpan It-girl. The Drake drama only added to the intrigue. The Mystery Man and Another Public Breakup Adding more fuel to the fire, Althoff appeared to 'soft launch' a new relationship on TikTok in December 2024, posting cryptic clips that hinted at a new romantic chapter. Online sleuths speculated that the man in question was NFL cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting of the Atlanta Cardinals. Murphy-Bunting quickly shot that rumor down, clarifying that the two were not dating. Althoff followed up with another announcement: she was single again. Watch the full interview with Lil Tjay on The Really Good Podcast. Bobbi's monologue begins around the 13-minute mark.

Nick Cannon, father of 12 children by six women, is launching a relationship advice podcast. Who better?
If you Google 'What does Nick Cannon actually do?', 17 professions, ranging from rapper to businessperson, pop up. Which is just a few more gigs than the entertainer has kids: these days Cannon is most identifiable as the father of 12 children by six women. 'I really think I'm a king,' Cannon, who has said he has been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, mused in June during an appearance on the influencer Bobbi Althoff's podcast. Kings, he explained, need a lot of children for their courts. In the same podcast, King Cannon struggled to recall the names of all 12 of his children. But that's what the court nannies are for, eh? Cannon clearly enjoyed his chat with Althoff because he recently announced that he is starting his own podcast. It will be called Nick Cannon @ Night and he's going to be giving relationship advice. 'When it comes to his personal life, Nick has never shied away, unapologetically leaving the world curious about his views on dating, fatherhood and modern relationships. So, who better to offer advice?' the press release states. Clearly this is rage-bait designed to get people screaming: 'Who better? Anyone who knows how a condom works would be better!' And you know what? It's worked. Everyone is now roasting Cannon online and giving the podcast free publicity. In general, I'm of the view that there are far too many podcasts already; certainly, it seems as if the world's most insufferable people all have at least one. But I like the idea of giving celebrities a platform to talk about things they are wildly unqualified to discuss. I would absolutely tune in to hear Lauren Sánchez, owner of a $170,000 handbag and enjoyer of a $50m wedding with husband Jeff Bezos, dole out budgeting advice. Or a Gordon Ramsay and Naomi Campbell collaboration where they recommend anger management tips. And who wouldn't listen to How to Receive Criticism Gracefully, a podcast from Donald Trump?
