Alix Earle has responded after Alex Cooper publicly challenged her online, telling her to “say what you’ve got to say about me.”
Earle, 25, previously hosted Hot Mess with Alix Earle through Cooper’s Unwell network, until the show was abruptly removed from the roster last year.
No official explanation has been given for why the podcast was dropped, which led some listeners to wonder whether the two had a personal or professional dispute.
In March 2025, Cooper spoke about the situation and suggested the decision wasn’t connected to the network, saying that Earle’s podcast no longer being part of Unwell was “nothing to do” with the company. She added: “Idk why she can’t/whats going on.”
“Unwell gave her everything back she owns her IP,” the Call Her Daddy host continued, per ELLE Australia.
Months later, Earle briefly addressed the split herself, describing the behind-the-scenes situation around her show as, fittingly, a “hot mess.”
She didn’t expand further at the time, though she hinted to the Wall Street Journal that the podcast could return. As of April 2026, Hot Mess still hasn’t relaunched.
Speculation about tension between Earle and Cooper has resurfaced again, this time after Earle reshared a clip in which someone referred to Cooper as an “ambulance chaser.”
Cooper, 31, then addressed Earle directly, accusing her of taking shots through indirect online activity.
“Hey girl, the passive aggressive reposts and the likes and the commenting on things — I’ve got to call you out here,” she said in a TikTok posted on April 13, which she tagged Earle in.
“You’re going to need to get specific and just say what you’ve got to say about me. There’s no NDA. No one is stopping you. Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself.”
Cooper continued: “What’s the beef? Because I’m really tired of waking up and seeing you using this fake drama to distract from other sh*t going on online for you. Not interested.
“I know what happened, and so do you. So talk, unless the fake narrative that you’re creating happens to be way more interesting than the truth. I have nothing to hide when it comes to you and me. So unless you actually have something to say, I’m out. This is over.”
At the time of writing, Cooper’s TikTok has surpassed 10,000,000 views.
Earle later reacted with a brief reply, writing: “Okay on it!!”
Representatives for both parties have been contacted for comment.
