Alex Cooper Confronts Alix Earle in TikTok Feud: 'Stop Hiding Behind Other People'
The long-rumored feud between podcast hosts Alex Cooper and Alix Earle has escalated dramatically, with Cooper issuing a direct public callout on TikTok, urging Earle to "get specific" and stop "hiding behind other people." The confrontation comes amid severed business ties and ongoing fan speculation about their rift.
Cooper's Blunt TikTok Video
In a video shared across her platforms on Monday morning, Cooper, 31, addressed the situation head-on. "You guys know I don’t usually address this kind of stuff because it feels like a waste of time. And honestly, it’s embarrassing to participate in this," she began. However, Cooper explained that the constant tags, DMs, and comments had made it "long overdue" to speak out.
Calmly addressing Earle, 25, Cooper said, "Alix Earle, hey girl. The passive-aggressive reposts and the 'likes' and the commenting on things, I gotta call you out here — you’re gonna need to get specific. 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?"
Background of the Feud
The two influencers were originally friends, with Earle's podcast, "Hot Mess," launching under Cooper's Unwell Network in September 2023. They were frequently seen together at brand events, but the relationship soured. In February 2025, Earle's podcast was dropped from the network due to "creative differences," fueling rumors of a fallout. Neither party commented publicly at the time, and Earle now operates her podcast under her own company, Hot Mess Media.
Cooper's video follows Earle reposting a TikTok that compared Cooper to an "ambulance chaser" and accused her of exploiting podcast guests for tell-all interviews. This added fuel to the fire, with fans eagerly awaiting Earle's response.
Cooper's Final Words
Cooper concluded her message with a firm stance: "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. 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." She ended by saying, "Unless you actually have something to say, I’m out. This is over. Have a good Monday, everyone."
At the time of writing, Earle has not responded to the video, despite fans flooding her recent TikTok posts with comments begging her to engage. Representatives for Earle did not immediately return requests for comment.
Broader Context
This feud highlights the competitive and often personal nature of the podcasting industry. Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" show, formerly owned by Barstool Sports, now benefits from a $60 million distribution deal with Spotify and is distributed by SiriusXM, adding a layer of professional rivalry to the personal conflict. The incident underscores how social media platforms like TikTok have become arenas for public disputes among influencers, blurring the lines between personal and professional grievances.
