Is Drake To Blame For Podcaster Bobbi Althoff's Divorce After 3 Years?

Fans of Bobbi Althoff have been pointing the finger at Drake as the reason her husband recently filed for divorce. But does Drake really have anything to do with it?

Many have noticed that the coincidental timeframe her estranged husband, Cory Althoff, cited that the two separated is around the same time Bobbi released her viral interview with Drake. The same interview that suddenly vanished from the internet without a trace, further fueling that mindset.

Shortly after Bobbi's interview with Drake was shared on social media, it vanished into thin air. Neither Bobbi nor Drake ever spoke out about why the video was taken down, leaving many to speculate that something was up between the two.

According to sources with direct knowledge of the situation, Drake was not a big fan of Bobbi, 26, toward the end of last summer. They said the two continued to text after the interview and Drake invited her to his Los Angeles concert in August, where she was granted general admission only and that upset her. Bobbi felt she deserved to be in the VIP section and made it known in a video she shared on TikTok of her pouting at the concert. That video has since been wiped from her social media pages.

Then the viral interview also disappeared, which shocked and confused many. No explanation was ever given by Bobbi or Drake and fans were left to just wonder if it was all a publicity stunt of some sort or a real falling out that occurred. Sources also said that it was Drake's camp that demanded Bobbi take the viral interview down and their friendship then ended.

The source also shared what caused Bobbi's husband to ultimately file for divorce and it has nothing to do with Drake or allegations of cheating. It appears that Bobbi's fast rise to fame may have had something, or everything, to do with the couple parting ways.

Bobbi took to Instagram and TikTok on Wednesday to break her silence on the divorce, sharing a photo of the couple.

"As most of you have heard, Cory and I have filed for divorce. 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 co-parent with such an incredible father and person," her caption reads.

"While our relationship did not work out as husband and wife, we will always be friends and I will always love him."

Bobbi turned comments off on her Instagram post, but her TikTok post received plenty.

"What did Drake do," one person asked. Another added, "Celebrity status always ruins the best things in life??."

Another fan shared, "It seems like a common occurrence with influencers, unfortunately. My best guess is the spouse doesn't want that life and the influencer does."

Cory, 34, filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason, on Wednesday. The date of separation listed was July 4, 2023, three years and five months after tying the knot. He is seeking joint physical and legal custody of their children, daughters Isla, 19 months, and Luca, 3.

Bobbi's rise to fame was fast, leading some to wonder if she is an "industry plant."

For anyone who's unsure of just what that means, Urban Dictionary defines "industry plant" as, "An artist who has Major/Indie Label backing their movement but presents themselves as a 'home-grown start-up' label to create a pseudo organic following. They act as if things are miraculously happening for them based on their talent (via blog coverage, media coverage, MTV playing their vids, etc.) The reality is a low risk/high reward situation for labels looking to build the next 'new star.'"

When Keke Palmer recently sat down with Bobbi, the topic of being an "industry plant" entered the chat. The actress asked Bobbi if she was one and Bobbi responded by saying, "I am," in her well-known interview tone. After that response, Palmer shared that her rise to fame does feel a bit "plant-ey." Palmer also said, "You got here in five minutes. It took me 20 years."

Bobbi launched "The Really Good Podcast" in early 2023 and grew her fanbase relatively quickly after landing the interview with Drake out of nowhere. After Drake's viral interview, Bobbi interviewed many other big names and continues to do so.
