Alix Earle’s Podcast Pitch Gets a Backseat: What’s Really Going On?
Well, well! It appears there’s trouble brewing in the podcasting paradise of influencers Alix Earle and Alex Cooper. According to multiple reports, Earle’s podcast, *Hot Mess*, has officially been dropped from Cooper’s burgeoning Unwell Network, and the drama is juicy enough to spill into your TikTok feed. Launched just this past September, the show was poised to tackle everything from relationships to life post-college, but it seems things got a bit too messy behind the scenes.
SiriusXM, who inked a content deal with Cooper earlier this year, also decided to step back, renouncing its rights and ad sales for the podcast. A source told E! that the change has sparked rampant speculation online, especially after Earle was a conspicuous no-show at an Unwell event during the Super Bowl weekend. Fans are connecting the dots and whispering about a possible rift; you know how social media loves a good story!
Adding fuel to the fire, Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, even shared a screenshot of a potential eyebrow-raising chat with Earle on TikTok, hinting that he might be eyeing her for something new. He cheekily mentioned, “You can stop tagging me. I know what needs to be done,” leading fans to wonder if a Barstool deal could be in her future.
In the midst of this podcasting upheaval, Earle has been living her best life. She recently attended the GQ Bowl with her boyfriend, Miami Dolphins star Braxton Berrios. When asked about her life and relationship status, Earle confirmed that while wild rumors of engagements were swirling, she and Berrios are just focused on fun and careers for now. Meanwhile, Berrios played coy about their future plans, saying those chats are just between them.
Looks like the podcast scene is not just about storytelling but also about… drama. As creators and influencers continue to build their digital empires, every not-so-innocent move sends fans into speculation overdrive. But for Earle and Cooper, this chapter appears to be closing, leaving us all waiting to see where the next episode of influencer drama leads.
