Alix Earle's tenure at the Unwell Network has ended amid reports of a feud between her and Alex Cooper.

According to a new report from Variety citing sources, the Unwell Network, which Cooper started, has dropped Earle's Hot Mess podcast.

The outlet said the Unwell Network has renounced all rights to Hot Mess so Earle can freely explore future opportunities. SiriusXM will no longer sell ads for the show.

The Unwell Network is a subsidiary of Tending, a media company Cooper founded with her husband, Matt Kaplan of ACE Entertainment. PEOPLE has reached out to Cooper's and Earle's representatives for comment.

Fans have been speculating that the two influencers may be at odds, as Earle was absent from an Unwell Super Bowl party in New Orleans earlier in February.

Photos from the event shared on social media showed Hallie Batchelder, who hosts the Extra Dirty podcast, and Grace O'Malley, who signed with the Unwell Network in December after leaving Barstool Sports, as attendees.

Earle, who regularly chronicles her day-to-day activities on TikTok, uploaded several videos from her time in New Orleans, including having dinner with her boyfriend Braxton Barrios and going out with friends. She also attended the 2025 Super Bowl.

The Hot Mess host was one of the first talents to sign with the network when it launched in August 2023.

When she and Madeline Argy signed with the network, Cooper said she was "honored to be at a place in my career where I can pass along knowledge and advice for a new generation of creators to flourish."

Cooper signed a deal with SiriusXM a year later to expand the network, launching Unwell Music and Unwell On Air.

When Hot Mess began its second season last September, Earle brought on her sister Ashtin as a new co-host.

"I really wanted to elevate the whole feel of Hot Mess for Season 2 and after Ashtin co-hosted with me a few times, I knew that we would be able to do just that by bringing her on in a bigger way," Earle told V Magazine about the new addition. Earle released her latest podcast episode on Feb. 19.
