Background
Alix Earle and Alex Cooper were previously friends and colleagues, with Earle's podcast 'Hot Mess' being part of Cooper's Unwell network.
The two had a falling out after Cooper's Unwell network dropped Earle's podcast in February 2025, with sources citing personal and professional differences.
Earle has since spoken out about the feud, posting a pole dancing video on TikTok and responding to a user's comment about the SNL spoof, while Cooper has addressed the feud on Instagram, denying it's a publicity stunt.

Our read of the evidence
Partly documented. None of the ten timeline events are confirmed by a primary source; all are reported by secondary outlets (aol.com for eight events, hollywoodreporter.com for the series premiere, and vulture.com for the allegation). Both parties have spoken on record—Alex Cooper addressed the feud on TikTok and Alix Earle made accusations in her Netflix series—but the factual basis of the alleged manipulation and the broader context of the dispute remain unverified and await further corroboration.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
