Alix Earle Calls Alex Cooper ‘Toxic’ in Unsent Message as She Opens Up About Their Feud

Alix Earle has finally addressed her reported fallout with Alex Cooper, revealing a strongly worded message she considered sending the Call Her Daddy host in the season finale of her Netflix reality series, Earle Meets World.

The dispute between the two creators has been the subject of online speculation since Earle’s podcast Hot Mess was dropped by Cooper’s Unwell Network in 2025. Neither side initially provided a detailed public explanation for the end of their professional relationship.

That changed after Cooper publicly addressed the situation on TikTok in April 2026. Earle had largely remained silent until her Netflix series offered viewers a closer look at her version of events.

In the finale, Earle read out a draft message she had written for Cooper but apparently did not send. In it, she accused Cooper of being “manipulative and toxic” and strongly criticised the way she believed the business relationship had been handled.

What Did Alix Earle Say About Alex Cooper?

Earle’s draft message was uncompromising.

“I wanted to write you directly and let you know I don’t like you. I’m not gonna fall for your bait of getting into a back-and-forth online, and I don’t think you want that either,” she read.

She went on to accuse Cooper of putting business interests ahead of personal values.

“You are manipulative and toxic. Go ahead and say ‘it’s just a business’ all you want, but the way you approach business is disgusting. You choose money over morals,” Earle’s draft stated.

Earle also alleged that she felt she had been taken advantage of when she was younger and less experienced in the entertainment and digital media industry.

“You took advantage of me at a young age in a new industry I knew nothing about,” she said in the message.

She further described Unwell as a continuation of what she characterised as a pattern of broken promises.

These statements are Earle’s allegations and personal account of the relationship. They should not be treated as independently established facts.

Earle Says She Was Afraid to Go Public

Earle also explained why she had not previously responded publicly to the controversy.

According to her account on Earle Meets World, she was reluctant to engage with Cooper because she was afraid of escalating the dispute.

Earle recalled Cooper allegedly telling her, “You don’t want to go to war with me.”

The remark, according to Earle, contributed to her decision to remain quiet while speculation continued online.

Her silence changed after Cooper directly addressed the situation publicly in April.

Alex Cooper Had Earlier Called Out Earle

Cooper previously spoke about the controversy in a TikTok video, saying she had become aware of posts and online discussions that she believed were aimed at her.

She accused Earle of engaging in what she described as passive-aggressive behaviour and questioned why Earle would not address the issue directly.

“There’s no NDA. No one is stopping you,” Cooper said at the time. “Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself. What’s the beef?”

Earle did not immediately respond to Cooper’s comments in detail.

Her Netflix series now provides her perspective on what happened behind the scenes.

Earle Claims Hot Mess Did Not Receive Enough Support

Earle’s father and manager, TJ Earle, also discussed the business relationship in the Netflix series.

He claimed that Hot Mess did not receive the same level of resources as other projects associated with Unwell and suggested that Cooper’s involvement and support decreased over time.

TJ Earle also alleged that his daughter stopped receiving invitations to certain events and parties.

From his perspective as Earle’s manager, the situation became increasingly difficult to navigate.

Earle herself became emotional while reflecting on how she had viewed Cooper when their relationship was still positive.

“What I was thinking — which makes me so sad for me at the time — is I was so happy,” she said. “I trusted her so much, and all she did was just shit on it.”

How Did Alix Earle Find Out About Her Podcast’s Exit?

Another claim Earle made in the series concerns the way she learned that her podcast was no longer part of Unwell.

She said she discovered that she had been dropped from the network through media reports, rather than receiving the news directly from Cooper or her team.

The end of the partnership came roughly two years after Earle joined Unwell in 2023.

At the time, the circumstances behind the podcast’s departure were not publicly explained in detail, leaving room for speculation about what had happened between the two creators.

Earle Revisits Her ‘Call Her Daddy’ Appearance

Earle also connected her feelings about Cooper to her 2023 appearance on Call Her Daddy.

According to Earle, she had admired Cooper before the interview and viewed the opportunity as an important moment in her career.

However, she now says that aspects of the recording left her uncomfortable.

Earle alleged that Cooper had her drink before filming and subsequently asked questions about highly personal and sexual subjects that she did not necessarily want to discuss publicly.

“I’m imagining myself in her shoes, to take someone in college who’s young, impressionable, you know looks up to you, and then ask them these raunchy questions,” Earle said.

She added that some of the material was difficult because she did not necessarily want those conversations to remain online permanently.

Earle described the experience as one that ultimately made her feel “betrayed.”

Again, these are Earle’s recollections of the recording, rather than independently verified findings about Cooper’s conduct.

Why Alix Earle Decided to Tell Her Side Now

Earle’s decision to discuss the controversy publicly appears to be closely connected to the format of Earle Meets World.

Rather than addressing the dispute through a short social media post, the reality series documents her conversations with family members as she decides how much of her story she wants to share.

Her father, who manages her career, encouraged her to consider whether there was a point at which she needed to explain her side.

That gave Earle an opportunity to discuss not only the professional fallout but also the emotional impact she says it had on her.

The result is a significantly more detailed account than anything she had previously shared publicly.

Alix Earle’s Message Ends With a Final Warning

The draft message Earle read during the finale concluded with another direct statement aimed at Cooper.

“Go ahead. Share this, use it against me, but you will no longer scare or trap me,” she read.

Earle acknowledged that she could be viewed as petty but rejected the idea that she was acting maliciously.

“You’re right. I may be petty, but I’m not malicious,” the message stated.

She ended by saying the experience had taught her an important lesson about choosing business partners.

“If there’s one thing I learned from doing business with you, it’s to never do business with anyone like you,” she read.

It remains unclear whether Earle ever sent the message to Cooper.

What Happens Next for Alix Earle and Alex Cooper?

For now, the feud remains a matter of competing accounts.

Earle has now publicly described what she says happened from her perspective, while Cooper has previously challenged the online narrative and asked Earle to address the issue directly.

Neither account independently establishes all of the claims made about the other.

What is clear is that a professional partnership that once appeared significant for both creators eventually ended, and the disagreement has since become a highly visible part of their public stories.

For Earle, however, the goal appears to be less about continuing the argument and more about finally explaining why she remained silent for so long.
