Digital creator Alix Earle has confirmed that her upcoming Netflix reality series, Earle Meets World, will chronicle her professional fallout with podcast host and Unwell Network founder Alex Cooper. Speaking in a TIME100 Creators cover story published Wednesday, July 15, 2026, Earle said she initially resisted producer requests to discuss the dispute on camera. She added that the increasingly public breakdown of their business relationship, which began with a partnership at Cooper’s Unwell Network in August 2023 and ended abruptly in February 2026, forced the issue into the show’s narrative as events unfolded during filming, with her family prominently supporting her.
