Alex Cooper calls out Alix Earle in viral TikTok, addresses 'beef'

April 13, 2026Updated April 16, 2026, 2:32 p.m. ET

After a year of falling-out rumors, Alex Cooper is calling on former friend Alix Earle to air out any grievances she may have about their "beef."

In an April 13 TikTok video, which tagged Earle in the caption, Cooper said addressing the 25-year-old's "passive aggressive" reposts, likes and comments was "long overdue."

"I've got to call you out here. You're going to need to get specific and just say what you got to say about me," said Cooper, 31. "There's no NDA. No one is stopping you. Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself."

The "Call Her Daddy" host continued, "What's the beef? Cause I'm really tired of waking up and seeing you using this fake drama to distract from other s--- going online for you. Not interested. I know what happened, and so do you."

Cooper concluded her message by encouraging Earle to "talk, unless the big narrative that you're creating happens to be way more interesting than the truth."

"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," she said.

USA TODAY has reached out to Earle's representatives for comment.

What happened with Alix Earle and Alex Cooper?

Cooper did not specify which of Earle's posts she took issue with. However, days before Cooper spoke out, Earle reposted a TikTok from @thebravomom that described Cooper as "so awful" and called on female celebrities "to stop making ['Call Her Daddy'] their first stop after something happens in their lives because she is profiting off women's heartaches and failures."

Earle launched her "Hot Mess with Alix Earle" podcast on Cooper's Unwell Network in 2023. But in February 2025, Cooper's media company parted ways with Earle's project. A month later, after Earle put the podcast on pause, Cooper took to social media to clarify that "Alix not being able to podcast has nothing to do with Unwell."

She also shared that "Unwell gave her everything back," including Earle's intellectual property rights.

In a May 2025 Wall Street Journal interview, Earle opened up about feeling "pretty lost" and "unsure of what was going on."
