Recently, viewers on social media have noticed rising tensions between Alex Cooper, host of the Call Her Daddy podcast, and Alix Earle, a social media influencer.
Cooper’s notable podcast, in which she openly discusses dating, mental health, and self-development, helped establish her reputation. In 2023, Cooper launched Unwell, a media company focused on producing podcasts. Earle rose to fame with her “Get Ready With Me” videos and vlogs while attending the University of Miami.
In September 2023, Earle announced her podcast Hot Mess under Cooper’s Unwell network. In February 2025, she left the network after only a year and a half of being under the label. The reasons for her departure from Unwell were unclear, but signs suggested a feud with Cooper over creative differences that was underway.
In August 2026, someone commented on Earle’s TikTok asking what happened with Cooper, to which she responded, “How much time do you have?”
In October 2025, Cooper posted on Instagram with the caption “How much time do you have? ‘Cause we could go all night,” using the audio from Circus by Britney Spears, the song that Earle used on Dancing With the Stars.
In April 2026, Earle reposted a video that called out Cooper for taking advantage of the people she interviews.
After a few days of the media taking guesses of what that could mean Cooper responded to Earle by posting a TikTok tagging Earle in the caption “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, but I am obviously seeing the videos, I’m getting tagged, I see the DMs, I see the comments, so at this point it just feels long overdue,” Cooper concluded her video by saying. “Alix Earle, hey girl, the passive-aggressive reposts and the likes and commenting on things. I got to call you out here. You’re going to need to get specific and just say what you got to say about me. There’s no NDA, no one is stopping you. Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself.” “What’s the beef?” Cooper continued. “‘Cause I’m really tired of waking up and seeing you using this fake drama to distract from other sh*t 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. So unless you actually have something to say, I’m out. This is over.”
Later that day, Earle commented on Cooper’s post saying “Okay on it!!”
There is currently no update on the situation. Earle has yet to respond to Cooper’s video. Many influencers have been making story times and bringing a lot of attention to the situation.
