Alix Earle finally broke her silence on what led to her feud with Alex Cooper in her new show, Earle Meets World — but she’s already having regrets.
In a clip shared by People, Alix, 25, and her sister Ashtin Earle were asked which story lines they would have removed from their new Netflix series if given the chance. Alix was seen writing “Alex” on her whiteboard in response.
The influencers previously joined forces when Alix launched her “Hot Mess” podcast in September 2023 under Cooper’s Unwell Network. The podcast was ultimately dropped in February 2025 amid rumors of a rift between Cooper, 32, and Alix.
“Obviously, there’s been a lot of chatter online this week about me and work. And I also have no idea what’s going on,” Alix said via TikTok at the time. “Don’t really want to get into the details of it all, and I kind of can’t get into the details of it all right now, but I’ve loved it so much, and I’m really proud of what I built with the podcast.”
Cooper, for her part, remained mostly tight-lipped about the status of her friendship with Alix. A source later told Us that there was a “lot of tension” once the duo began working together.
“They’ve had a lot of drama between them [since] they decided to collaborate on Unwell,” a second insider shared. “They clashed over business, and their friendship is over because of it.”
Earlier this year, Alix was caught reposting a shady TikTok about Cooper, prompting the “Call Her Daddy” podcast host to release a public message.
“I’m really tired of waking up and seeing you using this fake drama to distract from other s*** going online for you. Not interested. I know what happened and so do you,” Cooper said in an April TikTok video. “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.”
Cooper urged Alix to “get specific” about their issues, adding, “Just say what you gotta say about me. There’s no NDA and no one is stopping you. Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself. What’s the beef?”
She concluded: “Unless you actually have something to say, I’m out. This is over. Have a good Monday, everyone.”
Alix hinted she was ready to share her side of the story, replying in the comments section, “OK on it!!”
When Earle Meets World premiered on Friday, September 4, fans finally heard Alix’s version of events.
“There [were] just constantly issues. It just wasn’t run properly. It wasn’t what I was promised or told it was going to be like working with them,” Alix said about her professional relationship with Cooper. “There’s, like, personality, and then there’s, like, work things. And both things went wrong. For example, from the start, I didn’t realize things were going wrong because I was obsessed with her. I was like, ‘This is my idol. I’m so happy to work with her.’ And then constantly felt taken advantage of and used and mistreated and manipulated.”
Alix specifically pointed to a podcast episode she recorded with Cooper where the topics became “really sexual” as the duo began drinking on screen.
“I’m imagining myself in her shoes. To take someone in college, who is young and impressionable, you know looks up to you. And then ask them these raunchy questions, which I was definitely a little bit comfortable with,” Alix said in a confessional. “Part of that was stuff I had asked to be taken out after the interview. And she was like, ‘Oh, I think it’s so funny.’ And it’s stuff that I didn’t necessarily want to live on the internet forever. So that definitely hurt me. Or, it hurts now. In the moment, I just was like, ‘She’s looking out for me.’”
Alix continued: “My kids are going to see that and it took a toll on all of us. After that interview when we talked about our family experience, I cried to her. I was like, ‘Thanks, this meant so much to me. I really looked up to you and I’m so happy I got to share this story.’ It just makes me feel like a f***ing loser. I was so excited and happy and I thought I was doing something so good and I did something so hurtful to all of us.”
Cooper has yet to address any of Alix’s comments. Earle Meets World is currently streaming on Netflix.
