Alex Cooper: The feud explained"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Alex Cooper<\/a> just asked Alix Earle<\/a> what many extremely online people are wondering: \u201cWhat\u2019s the beef?\u201d<\/p>\n

Rumors of a feud between Cooper, the 31-year-old host of the \u201cCall Her Daddy<\/a>\u201d podcast, and Earle, the 25-year-old mega-famous influencer, have been circulating for some time, but this week Cooper addressed the conflict online in a video that invited Earle to finally air out the dirty laundry. <\/p>\n

Cooper said in a TikTok video<\/a> Monday that she was embarrassed responding to the internet-fueled drama, but after being inundated with tags, comments and direct messages, she decided making a statement was long overdue.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlix Earle, hey girl, the passive-aggressive reposts and the likes and the commenting on things. I gotta call you out here,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cYou\u2019re gonna need to get specific and just say what you gotta say about me. There\u2019s no NDA, no one is stopping you. Stop hiding behind other people, and just say it yourself. What\u2019s the beef?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cooper continued that she was tired of waking up and seeing Earle using \u201cfake drama to distract\u201d and that she\u2019s not interested in participating. \u201cI know what happened, and so do you,\u201d she said. \u201cSo talk, unless the fake narrative that you\u2019re creating happens to be way more interesting than the truth, I have nothing to hide when it comes to you and me.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the cryptic video confirmed the beef, Cooper still didn\u2019t offer any explanation as to what initially caused the turmoil between them. But thanks to internet culture, there are theories, and receipts to back them. The ball is now in Earle\u2019s court. <\/p>\n

August 2023<\/p>\n

Cooper launched the Unwell Network<\/a>, a Gen-Z-focused media company spotlighting \u201cunique voices that embrace social challenges and personal insecurities through honest conversation.\u201d One of the first big names to sign with Unwell was Earle, who, according to Cooper at the time, has a unique presence that captivates audiences. <\/p>\n

\u201cI feel honored to be at a place in my career where I can pass along knowledge and advice for a new generation of creators to flourish,\u201d Cooper said in a statement. <\/p>\n

February 2025<\/p>\n

Online speculation that there may be a feud between Cooper and Earle picked up when Earle didn\u2019t attend Unwell\u2019s Super Bowl party in New Orleans, even though she was reportedly in the Big Easy at the time with her friends and then-boyfriend, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios.<\/p>\n

February 2025<\/p>\n

Weeks after Earle was MIA at Unwell\u2019s Super Bowl shindig, Variety<\/a> reported that the production company dropped Earle\u2019s \u201cHot Mess\u201d podcast. Sources told Variety that SiriusXM would no longer sell ads for Earle\u2019s show and that the Unwell Network renounced all rights to \u201cHot Mess\u201d so that Earle would be able to \u201cfreely explore future opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

A few days after news dropped that \u201cHot Mess\u201d was nixed, Earle posted a TikTok<\/a> update responding to the chatter online about her work saying she also had \u201cno idea what\u2019s going on.\u201d <\/p>\n

March 2025<\/p>\n

Earle posted an update to TikTok<\/a> regarding the future of \u201cHot Mess.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to put a pause on podcasting right now for the foreseeable future,\u201d she said. \u201cDon\u2019t really want to get into the details of it all, and I kind of can\u2019t get into the details of it all right now, but I\u2019ve loved it so, so much, and I\u2019m really proud of what I built with the podcast.\u201d Earle added that she would be pivoting to vlogging for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

May 2025<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal<\/a> published a feature on Earle, writing that the relationship between the influencer and her podcast network had unraveled. Earle told the outlet, \u201cThat was, behind the scenes, a little bit of a hot mess.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have plans to bring things back, elevate things,\u201d she said of the show. \u201cIt might look a little different, but I\u2019m excited to see what we do with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

August 2025<\/p>\n

Earle seems to be in the mood for revenge. \u201cMy Co\u2013Star told me that I can start…today. I mean, is this my time that I\u2019ve been waiting for to go? I have so much information. We could go,\u201d she said, referring to her horoscope, in a TikTok<\/a> video as she sipped an iced coffee. \u201cI think I\u2019m losing my mind … but I wake up every day, and I\u2019m like, \u2018What should I do, Co-Star?\u2019 And today, it\u2019s like, \u2018Revenge. Let\u2019s go get \u2019em.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

In the comment section, one fan replied to egg on the content creator, \u201cYes, tell us what happened with Alex Cooper thank you.\u201d <\/p>\n

Earle quipped back, \u201cHow much time do you have?\u201d<\/p>\n

October 2025<\/p>\n

Cooper returns the slight with an Instagram<\/a> post promoting an Unwell event in Las Vegas that seemingly mocked Earle\u2019s performance on \u201cDancing With the Stars<\/a>\u201d by using the same song \u2014 \u201cCircus\u201d by Britney Spears \u2014 and including a caption that began, \u201cHow much time do you have? Cause we could go all night … \u201c<\/p>\n

April 2026<\/p>\n

Earle reposts a TikTok<\/a> video that likens Cooper to the grim reaper. The post describes Cooper as an ambulance chaser who preys on people who have just gone through a horrific accident so she can get the exclusive. <\/p>\n

April 2026<\/p>\n

Cooper catches wind of Earle\u2019s repost and finally addresses the beef in the aforementioned TikTok, telling Earle to \u201cJust say it yourself. What\u2019s the beef?\u201d Earle responded by reposting Cooper\u2019s video with the comment, \u201cOkay on it!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Earle and Cooper took their fight to the internet streets this week, speculation has flooded social media. Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports who first put \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d on the map in 2018, also weighed in. <\/p>\n

On Monday\u2019s episode of the \u201cChicks in the Office<\/a>\u201d podcast, Portnoy, who knows the feuding women well, said that while there have been rumors of jealousy between the women, he thinks the feud stems from conflicting business interests and contract disputes. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think people know this about Alex Cooper at this point \u2014 she\u2019s a savage,\u201d he said. \u201cShe\u2019s a businesswoman, boss lady, savage.\u201d <\/p>\n

But will prying eyes across the interwebs ever learn the whole story? It\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess. <\/p>\n
