00:00Alex Earle is responding, but keeping it short, after Alex Cooper put her on blast.
00:05The Hot Mess podcast host replied directly to Cooper's TikTok callout, commenting,
00:10OK, on it, after being accused of passive-aggressive behavior.
00:15Earle even reposted Cooper's video to her own TikTok,
00:18but hasn't said anything further, instead sharing content from her weekend at Coachella.
00:23The drama exploded after the Call Her Daddy host tagged Earle in a pointed video,
00:27saying the clapback was long overdue.
00:30Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself. What's the beef?
00:37Because I'm really tired of waking up and seeing you using this fake drama
00:44to distract from other sh** going online for you.
00:47Cooper accused Earle of fueling rumors through subtle social media moves,
00:51like reposts and likes, instead of addressing the issue directly.
00:55She insisted there's no NDA stopping Earle from speaking out, adding,
01:00I know what happened and so do you. I have nothing to hide.
01:04The feud seemingly traces back to 2025, when Earle's podcast was dropped from Cooper's unwell network,
01:10with Earle later calling the situation a hot mess behind the scenes.
01:15Things escalated even more when Earle recently reposted a harsh TikTok
01:19comparing Cooper to an ambulance chaser and the Grim Reaper.
01:23Now other big names are weighing in.
01:26First, Bethany Frankel shared her take on TikTok.
01:29As someone who knows both Alex Earle and Alex Cooper,
01:32their relationship was predicated on business.
01:35So in many cases, people become friendly with people that they're doing business with.
01:41But that's different than a normal relationship because there is money involved.
01:46If you're on the Housewives, there are ratings involved or one person's getting paid more than the other, etc.
01:51And it's not show friends, it's show business.
01:54So while they may have seemed very friendly while working together,
02:00it's still a transactional relationship that is conditional.
02:05There are terms.
02:06And if they weren't aligned and their minds didn't meet on the terms,
02:10then the relationship will dissolve.
02:13And that's really what it is.
02:15It's much ado about nothing.
02:17It's a business relationship that did not continue.
02:20So therefore, the personal relationship did not continue.
02:23You're welcome.
02:24And Dave Portnoy is also chiming in with a much longer breakdown of the drama.
02:29All right, new T by the Sea.
02:32And once again, yours truly somehow has a lot more information than probably the average Joe,
02:37or at least two sides.
02:38It's Alex Cooper versus Alex Earle.
02:41And this has been going on for a while since Alex Earle left the Unwell Network.
02:45But she's always liking mean s*** about Alex Cooper.
02:48This weekend, this lady, Bravo Girl, went at Alex Cooper being like,
02:53you're an ambulance chaser with interviews.
02:55You wait for bad things to happen to women.
02:56And then you interview them, you're profiting off their misery.
02:59To be honest, it was a pretty stupid take by that Bravo lady, if you ask me.
03:04So Alex Earle reposted it.
03:06Like what, Oprah does interviews when people have big incidents.
03:09That's why you go on shows.
03:11I didn't really get that.
03:13Like it's an interview show.
03:15Now, I obviously know Cooper pretty well.
03:18She worked for me for a bit.
03:19We stay in touch.
03:20She's supposed to interview me, by the way, for the new book coming out.
03:23Cancel me if you can.
03:24And now I also know Alex Earle, which I don't even know if people know that I knew Alex Earle.
03:28Alex Earle was a f***ing stool.
03:30She was a full-blown barstool girl before anybody knew who she was, before even Call Her Daddy was in
03:35our network.
03:36Alex Earle grew up in New Jersey.
03:39Everyone around there was barstool people.
03:40So, I've known Alex Earle before she blew up.
03:44Like, I'm friends with her.
03:46I've seen her a bunch of times.
03:47We always shoot the s***.
03:48And I've asked both Alex Earle and Alex Cooper point blank, like, what the f*** is going on?
03:54Like, why do you guys hate each other?
03:56And now, I may be simplistic.
03:58I will say Alex Cooper has said this to me.
04:01Hey, Dave, I apologize for the way Call Her Daddy and we acted when we were under the Barstool umbrella.
04:07Like, it's so hard to manage talent and we were kind of f***ing d***s.
04:13The world knows that.
04:14And you'll still have girls who come at me like Dave's toxic.
04:16No.
04:17Listen, my relationships speak for themselves long-term with our talent.
04:21I said, right when Call Her Dad, right when the Unwell Network signed Alex Earle, I was like, this is
04:29not going to end well.
04:31Alex Earle was already too big.
04:33Like, when you're the network, you're going to find young talent, blow them up.
04:37They leverage your network.
04:38They become big.
04:39You pay them more.
04:40Then maybe they go into work.
04:41Alex Earle had already, by the time she had come to Call Her Daddy, was already a massive universe.
04:46So, why she signed that deal, I don't know exactly what it looked like.
04:49It's like, it makes no sense.
04:50You don't need Unwell.
04:51You're already f***ing huge.
04:52But like I said, Alex grew up on Barstool.
04:55A-L-I-X.
04:56Earle grew up on Barstool, grew up on Call Her Daddy.
04:59And I think kind of like Cooper became her idol.
05:01She's like, yeah, I want to do it.
05:02But it made no sense from a financial standpoint because Alex Earle didn't need her.
05:08Now, they both had the same PR girl, Kate Bailey.
05:13I met Kate Bailey a million times.
05:14Kate Bailey has told me I look like s*** in skinny jeans.
05:17That's just false.
05:18So, I'd still wear them if I was skinny, but I'm fat.
05:21She dates Mario Carbone.
05:23Big swing and s***.
05:24She was the PR lady for the D'Amelios.
05:26And I've been to dinner with Alex Cooper and Kate Bailey.
05:30Like, Kate Bailey and them were close.
05:32And then Kate Bailey became Alex Earle's PR girl.
05:35I've heard this all stems.
05:37The real brouhaha over that Carl's Jr. commercial.
05:42And that was Alex Earle who starred in it.
05:45I assume it went through Kate Bailey.
05:46And I think Alex Cooper wanted it.
05:48And there's back and forth.
05:49And who gets paid goes through the network.
05:51I don't know if that's 100% true.
05:53But I've heard that's kind of where all this s*** started going.
05:56Go back to Carl's Burger.
06:00But the overall theme to me, and I do agree with Cooper.
06:04Although she said, hey, Alex Earle, why don't you say what the issue is?
06:08Why don't you stop hemming and hawing and just say it?
06:10Well, you should say it too, Alex Cooper.
06:12Both say what the f***ing issue is.
06:14And I've known this as a fact that I've heard, I believe, from Alex Earle's mouth.
06:18I'm rambling.
06:19Her dad is like, you should handle s*** like Dave handles it.
06:22Just say what it is.
06:23Be honest.
06:24And you'll never get in trouble that way.
06:26That's like her dad has given her that advice.
06:28I'd give both these girls that advice right now.
06:31Stop being like, you know what?
06:32There's nothing.
06:33There's no NDA.
06:34Who had this?
06:35Who had that?
06:35I agree.
06:36Just f***ing say it.
06:37But in the end, this is to me, it's a band, band label, network, talent issue.
06:44And Alex Earle was too big.
06:47Could make too much money without needing Unwell.
06:49Probably felt she didn't need to go through Unwell.
06:51Unwell as well, like you're an employee of ours.
06:53So the money funnels up to us.
06:55And this thing just flew out of control.
06:57Why Alex Earle is still like passively, aggressively reposting and doing all this s***, I don't know.
07:04Because Alex Earle is like an awesome girl, super nice.
07:07And I don't see her doing this type of s***.
07:10But I also really think this just boils down to start with that Carl's issue, the Carl's burger.
07:16It is a money issue.
07:17Her dad is our manager now.
07:19I don't think he's the easiest guy to get deals with.
07:21He looks out for the best interest of Alex Earle.
07:23And it just didn't work in the Unwell network.
07:25The continued hate.
07:27That, unless something happened, I'd never heard of.
07:30I've asked Chicken Fry.
07:31She said the same thing.
07:32She's like, it's just brand deals and taking deals from each other.
07:35But is it taking deals when you're in the network?
07:38And lastly, if anybody can hate anybody here, I think the fact Kate Bailey, who was with Alex Cooper for
07:48that long, and then jumped ship and went to Alex Earle, that would piss me off.
07:54So there you go.
07:55There's a T by the C.
07:56There's everything I know by it.
07:57Everything.
07:57And like I said, I know both these girls.
07:59I know them both.
08:00Friends with them both.
08:01All the people who are like, oh, girls can't be friends with Dave.
08:04He's toxic.
08:05That's a tough one for you.
08:06For now, Earle's response remains just three words, while Cooper says she's done with the back and forth.
