Podcaster Bobbi Althoff has had enough of the persistent rumors and unfounded accusations about her personal life. Known for her popular podcast, Althoff recently lashed out at those suggesting she sleeps with some of the celebrities she interviews.
The controversy intensified after a recent Instagram troll’s comment. On July 18, 2024, the 26-year-old shared a screenshot of the message, which read, “Damn get divorced choosing fame over your now ex-husband just to get passed around by different guys weekly.” This was the tipping point for Althoff, who decided to address the issue publicly.
While promoting her upcoming podcast interview with rapper NLE Choppa, Althoff posted behind-the-scenes clips where she wore a white T-shirt with the bold statement, “Is we f***ing or what?” This led to a flood of direct messages accusing her of inappropriate relationships with her interviewees.
In response, Bobbi Althoff posted a pointed message on her Instagram Story, clarifying her stance and addressing the false claims. She expressed her frustration with the repetitive accusations: “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. Anyone who says stuff like this is so f***ing ignorant.”
Bobbi Althoff elaborated on her split from ex-husband Cory Althoff, emphasizing that their separation had nothing to do with infidelity. She explained that they are both happier apart, which in turn benefits their two daughters: “You don’t know why my marriage ended, that we are both so much happier apart than we ever were together, and that now our kids get to see two happy parents instead of zero.”
Addressing the core of the rumors, Althoff stated unequivocally, “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*ing believe that a woman can be around men without sleeping with them. It’s so frustrating that I can’t post a single thing without comments about how I’m being passed around. Go live the lives you deserve and shut the fk up.”
She also addressed comments about her children, explaining that just because she doesn’t post them online doesn’t mean she isn’t actively involved in their lives. “You see what I allow you to see,” she asserted.

Reflecting on her life choices and the misconceptions about her, Althoff expressed her vulnerability: “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.”
This isn’t the first time Bobbi Althoff has faced such rumors. In July 2023, after her interview with Drake, she was accused of having an affair with the rapper. These rumors intensified after she removed the interview from her YouTube channel and unfollowed Drake on social media, which coincided with her separation from her husband. Despite the rampant speculation, Althoff has consistently denied any inappropriate relationships with her guests.
Bobbi Althoff rose to fame with her candid and often humorous podcast interviews. Before that, she gained a following through comedic TikTok videos about pregnancy and motherhood. Despite the personal challenges and public scrutiny, Althoff continues to focus on her career and her family, aiming to provide a positive example for her followers.
