United States-based social media influencer Alix Earle has confirmed she will publicly address her fallout with podcast host Alex Cooper in her upcoming Netflix reality series, "Earle Meets World." In an interview with TIME magazine published on July 14, 2026, coinciding with her inclusion on the 2026 TIME100 Creators list, Earle said the professional split and personal rift with Cooper will feature in the show after more than a year of industry speculation. Earle, a former flagship creator for Cooper’s Unwell Network, left the talent and media venture abruptly in early 2025, triggering widespread discussion about the nature and severity of their disagreement. United States media reports indicate that Earle initially resisted calls to discuss the separation on camera when production on "Earle Meets World" began, saying network executives and producers strongly encouraged her to address the situation before she felt ready. She told TIME that events behind the scenes escalated while filming was in progress, making the conflict impossible to keep out of the series storyline. Earle described the period as a serious emotional struggle that unfolded in real time during production and said her family frequently stepped in to support her as she navigated the fallout and its impact on both her personal life and her emerging reality television career.
