Alix Earle Claims Alex Cooper ‘Took Advantage’ of Her in Podcast Firing Drama

Alix Earle is officially pulling back the curtain on what really went down behind the scenes with Alex Cooper. In the inaugural season of her Netflix reality series *Earle Meets World*, the mega-influencer candidly addresses the breakdown of her relationship with the *Call Her Daddy* creator, alleging that their high-profile partnership ended in deep disappointment and public confusion. According to Earle, the friction left her feeling completely blind-sided. The digital star explains that she initially viewed Cooper as a major mentor in the podcasting space, but later felt "betrayed" as their business relationship unraveled. Earle alleges that Cooper "took advantage" of her genuine admiration, creating a painful wedge between the two prominent media personalities.

The professional fallout allegedly hit a crisis point when Earle's podcast, *Hot Mess*, parted ways with Cooper’s Unwell Network. Rather than learning about the split directly from leadership, Earle claims she was shocked to discover her show was no longer with the network after reading about it in media reports. The unexpected revelation effectively ended what had been hyped as one of digital media's most exciting alliances. While Earle lays out her perspective throughout the docuseries, Cooper and representatives for the Unwell Network have not publicly addressed the allegations made in the episodes. The candid confession marks the first time Earle has publicly dissected the internal friction that ultimately reshaped her podcasting career.
