A source claimed Alex Cooper expected everything to 'revolve around' her.
Cooper responded to the TikTok directly as she encouraged Earle to "just say what you gotta say."
"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 continued. "I’m really tired of waking up and seeing you using this fake drama to distract from other s--t going online for you. Not interested. I know what happened and so do you. So talk."
While neither Cooper nor Earle has spilled all the details on their supposed falling out, according to a source, the Call Her Daddy podcaster's issues were "ego-driven."
"Alex began treating the relationship as if she ‘owned’ Alix, despite the fact that Alix had built a massive platform and success on her own," the source told Us Weekly. "Alex didn’t want Alix landing bigger deals than her, and if she did, she wanted to cash in on it. Everything was expected to revolve around Alex."
