Alex Cooper calls on Alix Earle to ‘stop hiding behind other people’ amid rampant feud rumors

Alex Cooper and Alix Earle’s long-rumored feud has evolved from fan speculation over severed business ties and passive-aggressive comments to a full-blown TikTok callout with Cooper, 31, urging Earle, 25, to “get specific.”

A day after both of the podcast hosts separately spent the weekend at Coachella, Cooper said in a video shared across her platforms Monday morning: “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, “But I 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.”

“Alix Earle, hey girl,” she said calmly. “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?”

The Call Her Daddy host continued, “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 concluded: “Unless you actually have something to say, I’m out. This is over. Have a good Monday, everyone.”

Earle has not responded to the video at the time of writing, despite fans commenting on her recent TikTok post begging her to wade in. The Hot Mess host’s representatives did not immediately return The Independent’s requests for comment.

Cooper’s blunt video comes days after Earle reposted a TikTok video that compared Cooper to an “ambulance chaser” and accused her of exploiting her podcast guests for tell-all interviews.

The two influencers were originally friends. Earle was one of the first podcasts to launch under Cooper’s Unwell Network in September 2023, and the pair were pictured together at several brand events.

However, the podcast was dropped from the network in February 2025 due to “creative differences” amid rumors of Cooper and Earle falling out. Neither of the influencers spoke out about the rift at the time.

Earle now operates her podcast under her own company, Hot Mess Media.

Call Her Daddy was formerly owned by the conservative media company Barstool Sports until Cooper signed a $60 million distribution deal with Spotify. The show is now distributed by SiriusXM.
