Alex Cooper and Alix Earle‘s drama doesn’t just have Us talking — it also has celebrities weighing in and choosing sides.
The influencers originally joined forces when Earle 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 and Earle.
“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,” Earle 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 Earle. A source later told Us Weekly that the duo faced a “lot of tension” due to issues in their professional relationship.
“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.”
After Earle continued to throw subtle shade at Cooper on social media, the “Call Her Daddy” podcast host released 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 2026 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 Earle 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.”
Earle hinted she was ready to share her side of the story when she replied, “OK on it!!”
The back-and-forth ultimately riveted celebrities such as Bethenny Frankel, Harry Jowsey, Dave Portnoy and more. Keep scrolling to see their reactions as the Cooper vs. Earle drama heats up:
