Recently, she is back in limelight for posting an Instagram story with her alleged boyfriend, announcing a new season of her podcast which will be released on May 15th. However, Althoff's journey began with
TikTok
reels where she shared her life as a mom of two and her marriage with her husband. Her rise to fame was credited to her dry humour and witty personality. From 2021 to 2023, Althoff's consistent lifestyle content on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube allowed her to gain a massive following of almost 3.5M.

In April 2023, Bobbi moved on from the lifestyle content to release an episode on her 'The Really Good' podcast with comedian Colleen Bellinger as a guest. The interview which was later taken down featured a whole lot of awkward conversations which were appreciated by fans as Bobbi's dry humour.
While her second interview with content creator Funny Marco amassed a shocking 5 million views, it was her third interview which put her on the social media map.
Althoff interviewed Drake in an unusual setting, on a bed, in an awkward interaction where she revealed that she had missed her daughter's first birthday to interview the musician whose songs she had "never heard." The interview garnered a whopping 10 million views, with Drake also commenting on Althoff's "horrible parenting"
It was around this time that Bobbi's husband, Cory Althoff, filed for a divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

However, her downfall began with her interview with rapper
Offset
, who replied to Bobbi in the same uninterested tone that she used in her podcast. The interview included her claiming that the artist's team reached out to her for an interview, and him addressing that she was not found on any site except TikTok, not even Google.
Slowly and steadily, Bobbi's following suffered with fans not wanting to see their favourite celebrities be insulted on various aspects, but the icing on the cake was when she cancelled a comedy tour with Funny Marco and launched a tour of her own.
She was now being considered an industry plant due to her having the same managing company as Drake, with whom she was rumoured to have an affair. Additionally, her podcast was dwindling. She tried to start a vlog series, which included one vlog that gained more dislikes than likes and even had interviews with Forbes and WIRED to help save her failing career.
However, fans were no longer interested in Bobbi's dry interviews and slowly her career declined to a place where she is only active on Instagram.

Ever since Bobbi's failed attempt at being a podcaster who made people she interviewed awkward with her statement went viral, fans realised that her behaviour was not a fun technique but rather her personality. When asked about her interviewing technique, she told Forbes that it was "no research, just show up" and to WIRED, she shared that she was on a "lifelong journey to earn money"
People on X have been sharing clips from Althoff's podcast interviews where she was roasted by big names; writing comments like, "Each interview I've seen of Bobbi Althoff has gotten increasingly worse and worse", and "I ain't seen a single clip of that Bobbi girl since Offset cooked her"
It seems that while users of social media are ready to give a chance to new content, they don't need to keep its value if it doesn't align with their sometimes-shown morals.
Althoff's journey is a gleaming mirror of the fact that while unique and rare personas go viral on social media, those who stay are the ones who are real.

India batted first in the innings and scored 224 runs before they were all out. Only Karun Nair managed to score a half-century for Team India as he scored 57 runs from 109 balls. India lost early wickets in the 1st innings, and continued to struggle with the momentum. While the Indian opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul fumbled in the 1st innings, England's opening pair of Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett put up an impressive performance, Zak scored 64 runs and Ben settled for 43 before they were sent to the pavilion. Harry Brook emerged as a top scorer for England with 53 runs from 64 balls in the first innings. England gained a lead of 23 runs. Team India tightened the screws for both its batting line-up and bowling attack in the 2nd innings, and Yashasvi Jaiswal , who had scored just 2 runs in the 1st innings, turned on the beast mode, as he smashed 118 runs from 164 balls in the 2nd innings. His opening partner KL Rahul, could however, only score 7 runs. This time around, team India also saw three half centuries each from Akash Deep, the Dark Knight of the Indian cricket team across formats – Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. India nullified the lead, and went on to score 396 runs in the 2nd innings.

Siraj, who missed his seniors Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the slip cordon, emerged as the leading wicket taker for India in the final test match. The leveller game serves as a huge morale boost for the new generation Indian test team.
