Alix Earle Reacts to Podcast Shakeup Amid Personal Challenges
Alix Earle is not letting a hectic week rain on her TikTok parade. The 24-year-old social media star recently broke her silence after the news broke that her *Hot Mess* podcast has been dropped from Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network. In a candid TikTok update, Earle addressed the swirling rumors and shared some personal struggles that seemed to be weighing heavily on her. “This week has been like, meh,” she said, as she tried to make sense of the whirlwind surrounding her professional life.
Reports from sources like *Variety* and *E! News* highlight that the Unwell Network has ceased all association with her podcast, which had been running for over a year. With SiriusXM recently joining forces with Cooper, they apparently also decided to pull the plug on ad sales for Earle’s show. While the chatter online hints at possible tension between Earle and Cooper, there hasn’t been any direct communication from either camp, which only adds fuel to the fire.
But that’s not all; Earle also opened up about dealing with her health issues, showing her raw and relatable side. Just back from a skiing stint in Aspen, she was feeling under the weather, battling a face rash and fatigue. Instead of the tropical vibes of the Bahamas with her boyfriend, NFL player Braxton Berrios, Earle opted for a chill week at home, citing the need to rest. It seems Earle is prioritizing self-care—she’s been sipping on bone broth and loading up on Vitamin C, because, you know, influencers need to keep their glow, even when sick!
Moreover, she revealed the bittersweet experience of fostering a dog named Asia. After finding Asia a new home, Earle admitted to feeling unexpectedly emotional about saying goodbye. “I’ve cried myself to sleep the past three nights,” she shared, showcasing her vulnerable side.
Earlier this year, Earle and Berrios took their romance public, walking the 2023 ESPYS red carpet together and engaging in some adorable social media PDA. But even as they enjoy their relationship, Alix made it clear that the two aren’t officially living together yet—she’s just claiming a cozy corner at his place while doing her work.
As Earle navigates the choppy waters of personal health and career turbulence, her relatable and candid approach continues to resonate with her followers, proving that even aspirational influencers face real-life challenges.
