Overview
- Alix Earle confirmed in a TIME profile on July 14 that she will address her falling-out with Alex Cooper on her forthcoming Netflix series Earle Meets World.
- Multiple outlets report that Netflix plans to premiere Earle Meets World in fall 2026, though that timing is reported rather than announced directly by the streamer.
- Earle told TIME that she initially resisted discussing the dispute but agreed after cameras captured real-time emotional moments and her family supporting her behind the scenes.
- The public rift dates to the end of Earle’s roughly 18-month partnership with Cooper’s Unwell Network and escalated in April 2026 when Cooper urged Earle to speak and Earle replied 'On it!' without releasing a follow-up; Cooper has largely stayed out of the back-and-forth while expecting her first child.
- Earle’s choice to use a produced Netflix series instead of a social post fits a growing trend of creators using long-form platforms to shape their narratives and could affect how influencers handle disputes, brand work and audience expectations going forward.
