What did Alix Earle say about Alex Cooper?
In the first episode of Earle Meets World, Earle tells her father and manager, TJ, that she feels “scared” because people warn her not to fight Cooper, arguing Cooper’s side “always win and they always come out on top.” She also recalls Cooper saying, “You don’t want to go to war with me.”
“I definitely feel betrayed by Alex Cooper,” Earle says on the show. She describes looking up to Cooper at 22, when an appearance on Call Her Daddy was a dream, then feeling Cooper “sold me on a dream” of protection and “took advantage of my admiration of her.”
Speaking to USA TODAY ahead of the premiere, Earle said she was glad she “didn’t speak out of emotions online at the time,” even if she might have handled parts differently.
Why did Alix Earle leave Unwell Network?
Earle’s Hot Mess podcast sat on Cooper’s Unwell Podcast Network until she abruptly left in March 2025 and took the show with her. On the series, her dad says she felt unsupported—left to run the podcast largely alone and without enough producers, camera, or lighting help at first. Earle adds Unwell later let her hire her own crew, but she still felt under-supported as invites and meeting attendance dried up.
“I didn’t realize things were going wrong because I was obsessed with her,” she says of Cooper. “Then I constantly felt taken advantage of, used, mistreated, and manipulated.” In the season finale, she alleges that before filming her Call Her Daddy episode, Cooper offered drinks and asked “really sexual questions” she was uncomfortable answering while drunk, and that requests to remove some material were brushed off.
When does Earle Meets World address the feud?
The conflict surfaces early, but Earle saves a fuller account for the last episode, saying she stayed quiet partly because she feared Cooper would twist the narrative. After the March 2025 split, Cooper in April 2026 accused Earle on TikTok of fueling “fake drama”; Earle replied “Okay on it” in comments and later told Time she was saving her response for the show.
Produced with Fulwell Entertainment, the series follows Earle’s blended family as Netflix courts her millions of social followers.
