For the past six months, the internet has been convinced that podcast girlies Alex Cooper and Alix Earle are beefing—and now, Alix basically just confirmed as much.
Quick background: Alix Earle’s Hot Mess podcast—which launched in September 2023 as a “weekly recap of her life revealing all the in-depth, exclusive details that has everyone watching, talking, and wanting more”—was dropped by Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network back in February. The move came amid fans noticing that Alix skipped Unwell’s Super Bowl party…despite being in New Orleans.
At the time, multiple sources confirmed to Us Weekly that Alex and Alix were “at odds,” with one insider telling the outlet that “there’s a lot of tension.”
Per a second insider: “They’ve had a lot of drama between them [since] they decided to collaborate on Unwell. They clashed over business, and their friendship is over because of it.”
The plot thickened in March, when Alex took to TikTok to dispel feud rumors, claiming Unwell Network had nothing to do with Hot Mess ending. (This was seemingly done in response to Alix’s Wall Street Journal interview, where she talked about the production politics that led to the show’s hiatus.)
“Alix not being able to podcast has nothing to do Unwell,” she wrote. “[I don’t know] why she can’t/what’s going on.” She added that “Unwell gave [Alix] everything back” and that Alix “owns her IP.”
The latest: On August 1, Alix posted a TikTok, where she alluded to wanting to “start some shit.” She added, “Lowkey, is this my time that I’ve been waiting for? I have so much information.”
A fan then slid into her comments to write, “Yes tell us what happened with Alex Cooper,” to which Alix replied, “How much time do you have?”
Alex has yet to respond to this latest shade, but I’m sat and ready for when it happens!
