Alix Earle Breaks Silence on Alex Cooper Feud Rumors
In a move that has reignited widespread speculation, social media sensation Alix Earle, 24, recently offered a cryptic yet provocative response regarding her rumored feud with podcast mogul Alex Cooper, 30. Earle’s comments, made in the comments section of a TikTok post on Friday, August 1, suggest a deeper narrative behind her abrupt departure from the Hot Mess podcast earlier this year.
The Genesis of the Rumored Rift
The genesis of the rumored rift traces back to March, when Earle, one of the inaugural talents signed to Cooper’s burgeoning Unwell Network in 2023, unexpectedly exited the Hot Mess podcast. The Unwell Network, founded by Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper, aimed to cultivate a diverse roster of audio-first content creators. Earle’s Hot Mess was among the flagship shows, quickly garnering significant attention from her massive online following.
Earle’s Cryptic Co-Star Comments
The latest development unfolded as Earle posted a video from her car, playfully referencing the popular astrology app Co-Star. “My Co–Star told me that I can start s— today,” she declared, teasing, “I mean, is this my time that I’ve been waiting for to go? I have so much information. We could go.” She further added, with an air of mischievous anticipation, “I wake up every day, and I’m like, ‘What should I do Co-Star?’ And today, it’s like, ‘Revenge. Let’s go get ‘em.'”
The highly anticipated moment arrived when a fan directly questioned her, “Yes, tell us what happened with Alex Cooper thank you.” Earle’s concise yet loaded reply—”How much time do you have?”—sent a clear signal to her millions of followers that the speculated animosity might indeed hold substantial, previously unrevealed details.
Cooper’s Prior Statement and Earle’s Admission
Following Earle’s March departure, Alex Cooper had addressed the swirling rumors on TikTok, asserting, “Alix not being able to podcast has nothing to do with Unwell. [I don’t know] why she can’t/what’s going on.” This statement, however, did little to quell the curiosity surrounding the sudden halt of Hot Mess.
Earle herself shed some light on the behind-the-scenes turmoil in a May interview with the Wall Street Journal. Reflecting on the tumultuous period, she admitted, “That was, behind the scenes, a little bit of a hot mess.” Despite the challenges, Earle also hinted at a potential return for her podcast, stating there are “plans to bring things back,” albeit with a fresh format. “It might look a little different, but I’m excited to see what we do with it,” she told the outlet.
Individual Ventures and Lingering Questions
While the full story remains under wraps, both influencers continue to expand their individual careers. Earle has transitioned to producing vlog-style content on her YouTube channel, offering fans a candid glimpse into her life, including her relationships with siblings, parents, friends, and NFL boyfriend, Braxton Berrios. Her rising profile has also led to a feature in a recent SI Swim issue and a confirmed spot as a contestant on the upcoming Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars.
Alex Cooper, meanwhile, maintains her influential presence with the ongoing success of her Call Her Daddy podcast and recently debuted a two-part docuseries, Call Her Alex, now streaming on Hulu. The public awaits further revelations from either party regarding the intricacies of their professional — and possibly personal — parting of ways.
