In a surprising turn of events, Alix Earle has addressed the recent controversy surrounding her podcast, “Hot Mess,” which has reportedly been dropped by Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network. This announcement follows a flurry of speculation online about the future of the show and the relationship between the two media personalities.

Earle took to TikTok to share her thoughts and provide an update to her followers after multiple outlets, including Variety, reported the news. In her video, she acknowledged the buzz surrounding her and her work, stating, “there’s been a lot of chatter online this week.” She also mentioned that she had been unwell and needed to rest, which led her to decline an invitation to a trip to the Bahamas.

The “Hot Mess” podcast, which launched in September 2023, was part of the Unwell Network, a media company co-founded by Alex Cooper and her husband, Matt Kaplan. However, on February 25, Variety reported that the podcast had been dropped after more than a year of broadcasting. Additionally, SiriusXM, which had previously entered into a content partnership with Cooper in August, announced it would no longer sell ads for the program.

The abrupt end of Earle’s podcast has sparked speculation about a potential rift between Earle and Cooper. The rumors intensified after Earle was notably absent from an Unwell Network Super Bowl event in New Orleans, raising questions about their professional relationship.

As the situation unfolds, E! News has reached out to representatives for both Earle and Cooper for further comments, but as of now, no responses have been received. This development marks a significant moment in the evolving landscape of podcasting, especially considering the rapid rise of both Earle and Cooper in the digital media space. Fans and followers are left eagerly awaiting more information on the circumstances surrounding the podcast’s cancellation and the future endeavors of these two influential figures.
