Alix Earle breaks silence on her feud with Alex Cooper in Netflix's Earle Meets World, alleging manipulation and Unwell Network drama. Get full details!
Social media sensation Alix Earle has finally addressed her ongoing feud with Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper in the season finale of her brand-new Netflix reality series Earle Meets World. All eight episodes of the docuseries premiered globally on September 4, 2026, giving viewers an intimate look at Earle's life, family, and career pivot.
In the dramatic eighth episode, the 25-year-old influencer opens up about the breakdown of her professional relationship with Cooper and the Unwell Network, revealing that she felt intimidated, manipulated, and taken advantage of by her former mentor.
Why Are Alix Earle and Alex Cooper Feuding?
The rift between the two digital titans stems from Earle's decision to pull her hit podcast Hot Mess from Cooper's Unwell Network media company in March 2025. Earle was one of the flagship creators signed to the network when Cooper launched it in 2023 under Unwell Media.
During the finale of Earle Meets World, Earle and her family detailed several core grievances regarding the partnership:
- Lack of Production Support: Earle discovered her contract ended through media outlets rather than direct communication. Her father, TJ Earle, stated that Alix was denied basic production crews and resources provided to other network shows.
- Allegations of Manipulation: Initially viewing Cooper as an idol, Earle confessed that she gradually felt used and mistreated, alleging that Cooper prioritized financial gain over ethical treatment.
- Public TikTok Clash: The feud spilled into public view in April when Cooper posted a TikTok accusing Earle of inventing fake drama to divert attention from personal issues, to which Earle briefly replied before addressing it fully on Netflix.
What Happened During Alix Earle's Call Her Daddy Interview?
A major point of contention highlighted in the Netflix docuseries centers on Earle's January 2025 appearance on Cooper's flagship podcast Call Her Daddy. During the episode, the pair played a game of "Truth or Drink," which Earle claims crossed professional boundaries.
- Uncomfortable Questions: Earle alleged that Cooper encouraged her to drink before asking explicit sexual questions that made her uncomfortable as a young, impressionable creator.
- Family Strain: The interview touched on sensitive family history regarding her father and stepmother, Ashley Dupré. Dupré revealed on Earle Meets World that discussing those events publicly severely impacted her mental well-being and personal growth.
- Edit Requests Ignored: Earle claimed she explicitly asked for portions of the footage to be cut, but Cooper refused, arguing the footage was funny and keeping it online.
The finale concluded with Earle drafting a scathing text message calling Cooper manipulative and toxic, asserting she would no longer be intimidated. While her family encouraged her to hit send, the series leaves it unconfirmed whether the text was delivered. Neither Alex Cooper nor Unwell Media have formally commented on the claims.
