Alix Earle is weighing in after Saturday Night Live poked fun at her ongoing feud with Alex Cooper.
When Earle, 25, shared a TikTok video of herself getting ready for a Formula 1 race in Miami on Sunday, May 3, a fan asked in the comments section if she had seen “the SNL sketch about alix vs alex” from the night before.
“Yes I’m laughing,” Earle replied with the crying emoji.
During the Saturday, May 2, episode of the NBC show, Veronika Slowikowska played Earle on “Weekend Update,” with Chloe Fineman portraying Cooper, 31.

“OK, so I’m gonna say what happened between us,” the SNL version of Earle began, as Fineman’s Cooper teased, “OK, then say it. Say what you gotta say, girl.”
Jokes aside, the influencers originally joined forces when Earle launched her “Hot Mess” podcast in September 2023 under Cooper’s Unwell Network. The podcast was ultimately dropped in February 2025 amid rumors of a rift between Cooper and Earle.
“Obviously, there’s been a lot of chatter online this week about me and work. And I also have no idea what’s going on,” Earle said via TikTok at the time. “Don’t really want to get into the details of it all, and I kind of can’t get into the details of it all right now, but I’ve loved it so much, and I’m really proud of what I built with the podcast.”
Cooper, for her part, remained mostly tight-lipped about the status of her friendship with Earle. A source later told Us Weekly that there was a “lot of tension” once the duo began working together.
“They’ve had a lot of drama between them [since] they decided to collaborate on Unwell,” a second insider shared. “They clashed over business, and their friendship is over because of it.”
More recently, Earle was caught reposting a shady TikTok about Cooper, prompting the “Call Her Daddy” podcast host to release a public message.
“I’m really tired of waking up and seeing you using this fake drama to distract from other s*** going online for you. Not interested. I know what happened and so do you,” Cooper said in an April TikTok video. “So talk. Unless the fake narrative that you’re creating happens to be way more interesting than the truth. I have nothing to hide when it comes to you and me.”

Cooper urged Earle to “get specific” about their issues, adding, “Just say what you gotta say about me. There’s no NDA and no one is stopping you. Stop hiding behind other people and just say it yourself. What’s the beef?”
She concluded: “Unless you actually have something to say, I’m out. This is over. Have a good Monday, everyone.”
Earle hinted she was ready to share her side of the story when she replied, “OK on it!!”
While Earle has yet to share more information, Bloomberg published a report last month alleging that Cooper’s podcast network faced dramatic staff turnover over the past two years. The outlet claimed that Cooper’s husband, Matt Kaplan, was at the center of issues at the company while running the day-to-day operations.
Kaplan “has earned a reputation for frequently yelling at staff members,” some of whom have threatened to walk off projects if he “doesn’t keep his distance,” according to the report. (Cooper and Kaplan have not responded.)
