Alix Earle discusses her public feud with Alex Cooper
Earle discussed the fallout with her family during the show’s season finale. She said she struggled with whether to respond after Cooper publicly called her out. Cooper had accused Earle of creating “fake drama” in an April TikTok.
In a confessional, Earle said she felt “being baited into saying something.” She also admitted that she was “scared of” and “intimidated” by Cooper.
Earle’s podcast Hot Mess left Cooper’s Unwell network in March 2025. She had been one of the first creators signed to the company. Earle later claimed she learned about the professional split through the media.
Looking back, Earle said there were “constant issues” with Unwell. She also shared with her family that the experience differed from her expectations. Her father, J Earle, claimed she did not receive proper production resources.
Earle said she initially viewed Cooper as an idol and potential mentor. However, she claimed their working relationship eventually changed dramatically.
“From the start, I didn’t realize things were going wrong because I was obsessed with her,” Earle said. “And then [I] constantly felt taken advantage of and used and mistreated and manipulated.”
Earle became emotional while reflecting on how she once viewed their relationship. “I was so happy. I trusted her so much, and all she did was just s— on it,” she said.
She also discussed her January 2025 appearance on Call Her Daddy. Earle alleged that she asked for parts of the interview to be removed. She claimed Cooper thought the footage was “funny.”
Earle said the interview included alcohol and sexual questions. She claimed she was uncomfortable answering some questions. She also worried about those moments remaining online permanently. The fallout eventually led Earle to draft a lengthy message to Cooper.
Meanwhile, all eight episodes of Earle Meets World are streaming on Netflix.
