TikTok star Alix Earle hinted there’s more to the story with Alex Cooper.
“Sorry been busy filming this week,” Earle, 25, captioned TikTok footage of herself taking a pole-dancing class set to SAYGRACE and G-Eazy’s cover of “You Don’t Own Me.”
Several of Earle’s followers, meanwhile, wanted the scoop about the influencer’s supposed beef with “Call Her Daddy” podcaster Cooper, 31.
“WELP WE GOT SOME TEA FROM MARKOS,” one fan wrote in the comments section, to which Earle replied, “Doesn’t mean it’s true 💗 you’ll see.”
TikTok user @MarkosBits claimed on Saturday, April 18, that he knew “the full story” of what went down between Earle and Cooper and alleged that Earle wasn’t happy with her podcast contract that supposedly “heavily favored” Cooper’s Unwell Network production company.
“These sources are so wrong,” Alix’s sister Ashtin Earle replied to Markos.
Earle launched her “Hot Mess” podcast under the Unwell banner. The podcast, however, was dropped in February 2025 amid swirling rumors of a feud between the influencer and Cooper.
“I also have no idea what’s going on,” Alix said in a TikTok video at the time, adding in a follow-up clip, “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 addressed Earle’s post via her Instagram Stories, writing, “Hi! I see ur comments. Alix not being able to podcast has nothing to do with Unwell,” Cooper said via her Instagram Story at the time. “IDK why she can’t/what’s going on. Unwell gave her everything back. She owns her IP.”
While neither star initially addressed the supposed drama, Alix raised eyebrows earlier this month when she started reposting shady videos. Cooper then chimed in about the alleged feud.
“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,” Cooper said in an April 13 video. “ am obviously seeing the videos, and I’m getting tagged. I see the DMs. I see the comments. So, at this point, it just feels long overdue.”
Cooper subsequently addressed Alix directly, adding, “Hey, girl. The passive aggressive reposts and the ‘likes’ and the commenting on things, I gotta call you out here. “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?”
Cooper stressed that she had “nothing to hide” and welcomed a conversation with Alix, who responded in the comments, writing, “OK on it!”
While neither Cooper nor Alix have further detailed what led to their falling-out, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the conflict was “ego-driven.”
“It was not one isolated incident that led to the feud. There were multiple occasions where Alex made Alix feel uncomfortable,” an insider told Us on Friday, April 17. “Alix felt ‘mean girl energy’ from [Alex] especially after they did the podcast together and didn’t think Alex had her best interests at heart.”
