1. Alix Earle vs Alex Cooper
A new influencer conflict has been gaining attention online between Alix Earle and Alex Cooper. The situation began after Alix’s podcast Hot Mess was dropped from Alex’s Unwell Network, with both sides hinting at behind-the-scenes disagreements. The drama picked up again right after Coachella, when Alex posted a TikTok openly calling Alix out and accusing her of being “passive aggressive,” making the situation much more public. So far, Alix hasn’t directly responded to the claims, but she did post a video of her reacting to Alex’s comments, which was filmed by her friends. Since then, other influencers and creators have started getting involved by sharing their opinions, liking posts, and subtly taking sides, which has helped the situation spread even more online. While it hasn’t turned into a full back and forth yet, many people are watching to see if Alix responds more directly.
