Alix Earle has broken her silence on her bitter feud with Alex Cooper, branding her former boss "toxic" and "sick and twisted" in a scathing message featured in her new Netflix reality show.
The Dancing With The Stars season 34 runner-up, 25, opened up about the fallout with the Call Her Daddy host, 32, on Netflix's Earle Meets World, which dropped Friday. In a message addressed to Cooper, Alix wrote: "I don't like you. I'm not gonna fall for your bait, getting into a back and forth online. And I don't think you want that, either."
"You are manipulative and toxic. Go ahead and say 'it's just business' all you want, but the way you approach business is disgusting." Earle's Hot Mess podcast left Cooper's Unwell Network last February after joining the company in 2023.

"You chose money over morals. You took advantage of me at a young age in a new industry I knew nothing about. You are full of false promises and Unwell was a continuation of that," Earle wrote.
"We had a call where you threatened me to not go to war with you, because you know how sick and twisted you are." It is unclear whether Earle actually sent the message to Cooper or whether it remained a draft.

She concluded: "You will no longer scare or trap me... I may be petty, but I'm not malicious. If there's one thing I learned from doing business with you, it's to never do business with anyone like you."

The pair's feud spilled into public view last year, after Earle reshared a TikTok branding Cooper an "ambulance chaser" and "grim reaper." Cooper responded with her own video, accusing Earle of making "passive-aggressive" posts and demanding she speak directly about their dispute.
"Hey girl, the passive aggressive reposts and the likes and the commenting on things - I've got to call you out here," Cooper said. "You're going to need to get specific and just say what you've got to say about me. There's no NDA. No one is stopping you.
"Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself. What's the beef?" Cooper later said: "I know what happened and so do you... so talk. Unless the fake narrative that you are creating happens to be way more interesting than the truth.
"I have nothing to hide when it comes to you and me. So unless you actually have something to say, I'm out. This is over." But Earle previously played down the drama when asked about it on the Today show.
"Well, I'm trying to keep things pretty positive today, we don't have that much time here honestly," Earle said. "Why ruin such a good day with something not so great, you know? Positive vibes."
She added: "It's exaggerated, I love everyone." However, Earle appeared to take another swipe at Cooper this week after Love Overboard, the dating show executive produced by Cooper, was reportedly cancelled after one season.
Asked at her Netflix premiere how it felt to finally address the feud, Earle said: "I'm happy that I said my piece and whatever, but I'm happier just to focus on the premiere and having the show out there." She then added with a shrug and a smile: "You know, hers are getting canceled so... It is what it is."
