That note continued with strong accusations. Alix called Cooper “manipulative and toxic” and rejected engaging in an online back-and-forth. She concluded: “I may be petty, but I’m not malicious. If there’s one thing I learned from doing business with you, it’s to never do business with anyone like you.”
How the dispute started
The conflict traces back to 2025, when Earle’s podcast, Hot Mess, was removed from Cooper’s Unwell Network. Earle has said she felt “mistreated and manipulated” over the split.
In the onscreen message, Earle accused Cooper of prioritizing money over ethics, and of taking advantage of her early in her career. She also described a phone call in which she said Cooper warned her against “going to war.”
Public responses and context
Cooper previously posted on TikTok, accusing Earle of “passive-aggressive reposts and likes.” Earle’s appearance on her reality series appears to be a direct reply to that public criticism.
The episode adds to a string of public disagreements between creators who partner with podcast networks. For followers, it frames the dispute as both personal and professional, highlighting tensions that can arise when business relationships between influencers break down.
