Alex Cooper and Alix Earle’s long-running tension turned loud in April 2026, when Cooper accused Earle of using “fake drama” to deflect from “other s**t going on.” Their social-media back-and-forth escalated soon enough to land on Saturday Night Live, after Ea
Alex Cooper and Alix Earle didn’t just drift apart—they picked at the scab in public.
In an April 13. 2026. TikTok video. the “Call Her Daddy” host addressed Earle directly. saying she was “really tired of waking up and seeing you using this fake drama to distract from other s**t going on.” Cooper added. “I know what happened and so do you. ” and told Earle. “Just say it yourself. ” urging her to talk “since there’s ‘no NDA’ between them.”
Their feud, already simmering after their split last year, kept moving after that. On May 3, Saturday Night Live even turned the conflict into a sketch—proof that a disagreement that started as podcast and social-media business friction had become recognizable pop-culture content.
The pressure points go back to their history. Cooper and Earle were business partners after Earle joined the podcaster’s Unwell Network in 2023. Earle’s “Hot Mess with Alix Earle” was part of that arrangement until they parted ways in May 2025.
What happened next is where the public story fractures.. It’s still unclear why Earle’s podcast was removed from Cooper’s Unwell Network. but Cooper linked the current tension to that break.. In her April 2026 TikTok. she framed the conflict as something Earle supposedly understands fully—saying. “I know what happened and so do you. ” and pushing Earle to “get specific and just say what you’ve got to say about me.” Cooper also said there was “no NDA. ” adding. “No one is stopping you.”
She then escalated her challenge, calling out what she described as a “fake narrative,” and said, “I have nothing to hide when it comes to you and me, so unless you actually have something to say, I’m out. This is over.”
The push-and-pull didn’t stop with Cooper’s upload. Just days before, Earle reposted a TikTok video comparing Cooper to an “ambulance chaser” and a “grim reaper,” adding fuel through a visual, headline-style accusation rather than a detailed rebuttal.
After Cooper’s call-out, Earle appeared to respond in the same comments space.. In the comments section on her TikTok post. she told Alex she was “on it. ” referring to handling the feud rumors.. In her own TikTok. Alix then shared a video of her friends showing her the clip of Alex calling her out. captioning it. “Shoutout to my friends for knowing I would want this moment captured.”
A few days later, Earle posted an Instagram video of herself pole dancing to the track of “You Don’t Own Me,” a move that came across as a pointed dig aimed at the unfolding dispute.
Across the timeline. the pattern is tight: Cooper points to the end of their Unwell Network partnership in May 2025 as the spark. then uses her April 13. 2026 TikTok to demand specificity—insisting there’s “no NDA”—and follows up with “This is over.” Earle answers in her own posts and reposts around the same window. including the “ambulance chaser” and “grim reaper” comparisons and later the “You Don’t Own Me” Instagram clip. while Saturday Night Live turns the whole exchange into a May 3. 2026 sketch.
For now, the most important detail remains the one both sides tiptoe around: the exact reason Earle’s podcast was removed from Cooper’s Unwell Network hasn’t been revealed, leaving the feud’s origin story incomplete even as the public sparring keeps getting louder.
