Alix Earle to Address Alex Cooper Fallout on Netflix Series
Influencer Alix Earle has confirmed that she will address her highly publicized feud with “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper on her upcoming Netflix reality series, Earle Meets World. The show, which is set to premiere later this year, will provide a platform for Earle to share her perspective on the rift that has captivated social media for over a year.
A Shift in Transparency
In an interview published July 14, 2026, Earle told TIME that she was initially reluctant to discuss the conflict on camera. “That was one of the things in the beginning they wanted me to talk about, and I really wasn’t comfortable sharing,” Earle said. However, as the situation evolved during the production of the show, she felt it became unavoidable. “Everything unfolded the way it did while we were filming,” Earle explained. “There was a serious struggle behind the scenes of emotions, and my family showed up for me. Those moments that sometimes seem so fun for people online… are hard behind the scenes.” She noted that she is glad the series captured the reality of the situation, which she described as a “serious struggle.”
The History of the Conflict
The tension between the two creators traces back to their professional partnership. In August 2023, Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network announced that Earle had signed on to develop projects, with Earle’s podcast, Hot Mess, premiering under the network in September 2023. By February 2025, reports surfaced that the Unwell Network had dropped Hot Mess. While fans speculated about the cause, the business split was not publicly explained in detail. Following the separation, rumors of a rift persisted. The public nature of the feud escalated significantly in April 2026, when Cooper addressed Earle directly in a TikTok video. Cooper’s video was a response to a TikTok reposted by Earle that featured another creator criticizing Cooper. In her response, Cooper accused Earle of creating “fake drama” and a “fake narrative.” Cooper told Earle, “You’re going to need to get specific and just say what you’ve got to say about me. There’s no NDA. No one is stopping you. Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself.” Earle responded in the comments of Cooper’s post, writing, “Okay on it!” despite never releasing a formal statement or video response in the months that followed.
Public Evasions and Future Expectations
Prior to this confirmation, Earle had largely avoided discussing the feud in public appearances. In an interview on the Today show, host Craig Melvin asked Earle if there was “legitimate contentiousness” between the two. Earle deflected the question, stating, “I’m trying to keep things pretty positive today… why ruin such a good day with something not so great?” When pressed further, she claimed the rumors of a rift were “exaggerated.” While fans expect answers regarding the Cooper fallout, Earle Meets World will also focus on broader aspects of the influencer’s life. According to Brandon Riegg, Netflix’s VP of Nonfiction Series & Sports, the series intends to show Earle navigating business, family, and the challenges of being a young adult in the public eye.
