Back to EpisodesBonus Deep Dive: Alix Earle vs. Alex Cooper — Earle Meets World Review
Description
Why is everyone suddenly talking about Alix Earle and Alex Cooper—and how do Sofia Franklyn, Barstool Sports and Call Her Daddy fit into it?
I did the work, so you don’t have to. First, I’m tracing Alex Cooper’s history from her explosive breakup with Sofia Franklyn to the creation of the Unwell Network. Then, I’m breaking down Alix Earle’s Hot Mess departure, their increasingly public feud and the allegations Alix finally addresses on her Netflix reality series, Earle Meets World.
Plus: the Earle family scandal, the uncomfortable Call Her Daddy interview, children becoming influencers, a deeply strange boob-job conversation, the show’s fixation on men—and why I expected to hate Earle Meets World but came away pleasantly surprised and firmly Team Alix.
