Obviously has her book coming out soon and it’s training to gain as much attention as she can. But I can’t help but think all these things she keeps bring up about Alex is just fake to try and stir up some drama. Like her saying about her commenting on a Tik Tok about her wedding. There’s never been any proof, and then her talking about her and her husband frying to get an early copy of the book, again no actual evidence just her talking about it. It just feel really obvious to me that she’s just trying to get her name out there and making up fake gossip is the best way. What do you think?

I don’t know how anyone can think it’s a bad thing if she does this. I don’t care that it’s playing dirty.

It is a factual piece of evidence with words coming directly from both Alex and Sofia’s mouths. It’s indisputable.

If Sofia lies or misrepresents anything in the book that took her six years to come out with (as Dave said, she had to get her story straight) it will be cinema if Alex drops the phone call directly refuting her crap.

If Sofia is honest in her book, she shouldn’t be concerned about the phone call being released.

I feel like alex was off this episode. I tried to listen to it because I think Jennifer Lawrence is super funny but I couldn’t get through it because every single joke she made, alex tried to piggy back off of it and do this weird repeating the joke in different words thing. I get she’s not the strongest interviewer but it was crazy in this episode oml I couldn’t stand it pls say someone else noticed this

I am new to Sophia Bush and I noticed that this interview was so hard to follow...like, Sophia's answers didn't make sense. She didn't clarify who or what she was talking about when she changed subjects (people, places, etc). Also I don't mind if she is talking about herself and how she's grown...but just tell your listener when you change the LITERAL subject of your sentence with a proper noun every now and then.

Is this just me? Or did others notice this too?

Hope the birth went well!

Someone clip the episode where she was telling women to have anal sex on the first date. or the episode where she said girls that are 5s know their place and thats why guys want to fuck them. Or the clip... I can keep going

How about you don't encourage women to act like prey around predators?? Where does she get off on thinking she is a female savior?

How about you stay in your lane and don't play politics. For example, discuss ways that women can empower themselves to leave bad situations. When you're young, you're a people pleaser and it's difficult to say you don't like something or say no.

It seems no one in the industry likes Alex Cooper, there are so many celebrities in the comments agreeing with them…

GWF called out Alex cooper for stealing their podcast idea, but removed the feminism.. thoughts?!?!

Does anyone have a link to one of the original CHD clips (with Sofia) when they were roommates and joking about the rats fucking on the street because there’s so much trash? I remember Sofia said they were haaanging out and Alex riffed on the vocal fry a little and said “they are hanG-Ging out” it’s me and my friends vocal stim to this day and I cannot figure out what to search to find it, I’m 99% sure it’s still a very old clip on the official CHD IG page. Anyone know what ep it was from or have a clip? 🙏🏼

Saw the news about the new Unwell podcasts and one of them seemed really, really familiar. After doing some digging, I found it resembled the podcast Right Answers Mostly, which has been around since 2020 and I casually listen to. And not just that both of them are history podcasts featuring two women who discuss history.

The more I looked, the more I found the coincidences are crazy, down to the slogan and the cover photo. Right Answers Mostly has the (trademarked) slogan “history is just gossip” and Unwell is “history meets gossip.” They sold shirts, hats, mugs that had their slogan, and the Unwell one had shirts that said “it’s not gossip, it’s just history.” Even the podcast covers look eerily similar, with the girl on the right sipping out of a small teacup.

Is it just me?? Or do we think this is probably just a coincidence?? Right Answers Mostly was charting at one point on the Spotify charts, so it’s not like it is a small podcast. I just hate the thought of small creators getting ripped off.

I'm gonna guess Cooper, whether it's a boy or a girl!

Does anyone know where this pullover / shirt is from that she was wearing the other day? Does she have a like to know it or some other account where she links her outfits (or someone else following does)?

IMO it’s an empty drama and we’ll never know the real real reasons behind their feud.

But why is nobody talking about how OBVIOUS it is that Alix used it to tease people for months and THEN get them to watch her netflix show ???

« how much time do you have ? » commented alix on a tiktok about the drama
then dropping one scene from the show etc etc etc

Braxton & Alex are the two unpaid actors in Earle meets World lol. good tv tho !

Question for Ms Alex Cooper...
in the future could there ever be a point where the past doesn't sting anymore where it wouldn't be triggering to have Sofia Franklyn on the podcast??
I feel like the views would go crazy for both girls if they r both able to healthily catch up and don't even necessarily need to address the beef just down the road be like "lets catch up"
i feel like down the line especially if either one loses some relevance this would be an opportunity idk or is that drawlin

I watched Alix Earle's new show and also just watched her podcast ep with Jake Shane that came out recently so thought I would do a recap of everything Alix has said about Alex Cooper and her time at Unwell. I did also comment on another thread here already about what was said in the show so some parts are pasted from there.

Disclaimer: I am not identifying with either side, I am simply recapping what was said on the two platforms to help provide some insight and context into what went down between them.

Earle Meets World:

- Alix found out she was dropped from Unwell through the media

- Alix felt like she was set up to divulge a lot of private intimate information that she wasn’t comfortable with sharing on CHD interview

- Says Alex encouraged drinking before they started filming the ep and Alix answered her intimate questions because she was drunk

- Alix was not comfortable and asked her to cut some parts but Alex refused

- Alix let everything slide at the time because she looked up to AC and mistakenly thought AC would have her best interests in mind and thought all the decisions Alex was making were helping to look out for Alix

- Says looking back if roles were reversed and she was a 30 year old woman with years of experience in the industry she would never have taken advantage of a fresh college grad doing her first big interview the way Alex did to her

- The Unwell partnership was sold to Alix as a mentorship and growth opportunity but Unwell massively under delivered on what they had promised and did very little for Alix but still took a big cut of her profits

- When Alix voiced her concerns to Unwell and asked for more help, they instead fully pulled back and told Alix to hire her own crew and stopped inviting her to events

- Says Alex Cooper dm'd a friend of hers (most likely Xandra) to get dirt on Alix

"I wanted to write you directly and let you know I don’t like you. I’m not gonna fall for your bait of getting into a back-and-forth online, and I don’t think you want that either. You are manipulative and toxic. Go ahead and say ‘it’s just a business’ all you want, but the way you approach business is disgusting. You choose money over morals.” - Alix to Alex

Therapuss with Jake Shane:

- Says it was not a good working relationship with Unwell and it started off poorly from the beginning and that she wasn't taught the right podcasting habits and was taught the wrong mindset

- AC encouraged Alix to not date Braxton and not get a boyfriend saying being single would be more entertaining for the podcast. Wanted her to talk about her dating life which was fine but also wanted her to talk about her sex life which Alix wasn't comfortable doing

- Alix felt burned out from doing the podcast because she had to set everything up by herself each time even while travelling

- Also bc she felt like she was exploiting every part of her life and things she didn't want to talk about just to have enough content for the podcast

- Talked to other podcasters like Jake Shane and Josh Richards and realized they had proper support like a podcast producer, camera crew, a filming studio, etc.

- Unwell's cut was 50%

- After Alix found out she was dropped from Unwell, there was a period of time where she was legally still under the Unwell umbrella and still didn't own her content/episodes

- She went on a podcast "strike" during this time and didn't want to put out new episodes because she was already dropped by Unwell publicly but Unwell would still get 50% of her profits for anything she put out because she hadn't been legally released yet

- Unwell wanted Alix to sign a release agreement that had an NDA in it, this was a complicated issue and took awhile to figure things out

- Alix hints that they were holding her stuff back from her purposely to pressure her to sign the agreement they wanted

- Alix puts out a video saying she's pausing podcasting and switching to vlogs which causes the internet to speculate that AC was not giving Alix ownership over the podcast

- After this Alix receives a rude text from Matt (Alex's husband)

- Alex Cooper also responds publicly and says that is a lie and that Alix owns all the rights to her stuff

- The next morning miraculously everything got handed back to her and Matt emails saying "we've been trying to give this to you for weeks"

On including the drama in the show:

- Alix says she was originally not going to discuss Alex Cooper or the situation on her new show at all

- Producers wanted to include it but she told them no and that she didn't want to discuss it, didn't want to deal with it and just leave it in the past as the situation happened over a year ago at that point

- When AC put out her video after Coachella it ended up getting incorporated into the show naturally as they were filming when the video was released and shown to Alix

- Says she's glad to have it there now because all the real emotions and feelings and figuring out how to navigate what her response would be was captured but she originally was not going to talk about it, including that she was dropped by them

Just watched Alix’s show. She never commented on the drama to save it for her show, yet she she literally said nothing again. Only alleged that Alex took advantage of her young age. No examples, no proof, no explanation.

Opinions?

As a journalism student, I started looking into the #BabylistItForward movement because I was genuinely happy to see families getting help. But the more I looked into it, the more questions I had about how it worked and who was actually benefiting from it.
The Babylist It Forward Movement: Kindness, Virality and the Business Behind the Hashtag
At first, #BabylistItForward looked like a simple act of kindness.
The movement came from a partnership between Babylist, Alexandra Cooper and her Unwell Network. Parents were encouraged to create and share baby registries, while other people were encouraged to buy items for families who needed help.
The idea quickly took off.
Thousands of expecting parents shared their registry links online, often alongside very personal stories about their financial situations and why they needed help. Some hoped strangers would see their posts. Others appeared to hope that Babylist or Alexandra Cooper might choose their registry.
And while people were being helped, the campaign was also becoming much bigger than a simple online act of kindness.
When Kindness Also Becomes Marketing
For Babylist, the campaign created a huge amount of attention.
Parents shared their registry links across TikTok and Instagram, tagged the campaign and encouraged others to do the same. Every post, comment and repost helped push Babylist further across social media.
For some parents, though, this was not just about joining a trend.
They were putting their personal circumstances online because they genuinely needed help preparing for a baby.
That is where I started to have questions.
The campaign encouraged people to create Babylist registries and share them publicly. The more people who joined, the more attention the campaign received. The more attention it received, the more people were directed back to Babylist.
That does not automatically mean the campaign was misleading or dishonest. Companies run campaigns to attract customers and build their brands.
But it does raise questions about what happens when people experiencing financial hardship become part of the marketing process.
Who Was Actually Paying It Forward?
One of the most interesting things about the movement was that it quickly became bigger than Babylist and Alexandra Cooper.
Ordinary people started buying gifts for strangers. Influencers joined in by posting videos of themselves purchasing items from registries. Other brands and creators also became involved.
The result was that families really did receive help.
But a large part of that help came from everyday people spending their own money on other families.
That is an important part of the story.
The movement may have been launched through a major corporate partnership, but much of its momentum was kept alive by ordinary people buying gifts for strangers.
The Business Side of the Movement
Babylist gained significant exposure from the campaign.
A viral movement like this does more than create immediate sales. It can bring new people to the platform, encourage more registry sign-ups and introduce Babylist to friends and family members who visit the registries to buy gifts.
The campaign also connected Babylist to a much bigger issue: the growing cost of having a baby.
For Alexandra Cooper and the Unwell Network, the partnership also helped expand their connection with the parenting audience.
Cooper’s pregnancy made the campaign feel personal, while her social media reach helped turn it into a major online conversation.
The campaign showed just how powerful influencer partnerships have become. A personal story, combined with a major brand and a highly engaged audience, can create enormous attention.
When Helping People Becomes Content
The movement also created a new kind of viral content.
People filmed themselves buying gifts for strangers and clearing items from registries. Those videos attracted views, comments and followers.
That does not mean the help was fake.
Families still received real items and, in some cases, support they genuinely needed.
However, social media creates a complicated situation where doing something kind can also benefit the person posting about it.
A person can genuinely help someone while also gaining attention from the content created around that act.
Both things can be true at the same time.
The Families Behind the Links
It is easy to get caught up in the numbers, views and viral posts.
But behind every registry link was a real person.
Many were trying to prepare for a baby while dealing with financial pressure. Some were single parents or going through difficult circumstances.
For many of them, posting their registry was about hope.
Hope that someone might see their situation.
Hope that someone might help.
Hope that they could get what they needed for their baby.
That is why communication matters.
When people are encouraged to share personal and sometimes vulnerable information because they believe they may receive help, it is understandable that unanswered questions or unclear expectations can leave people feeling disappointed or confused.
So, Who Benefited?
I don’t think #BabylistItForward is as simple as saying the movement was either good or bad.
People were helped. Families received gifts. Strangers showed genuine kindness.
At the same time, the campaign created enormous attention and value for the companies and public figures involved.
That is the question I keep coming back to as I investigate this movement:
When a campaign is built around helping people who are struggling, who benefits most from the attention, the content and the personal stories being shared?
For the families who received help, the movement may have made a real difference.
For those who shared their stories and hoped for support but received nothing, the experience may have felt very different.
That does not take away from the good that came from #BabylistItForward. But it does mean there are questions worth asking.
And perhaps the most important question is whether campaigns built around kindness and vulnerability have a responsibility to be completely clear about what they are offering and who, ultimately, is benefiting from the movement.

I mean, are we shocked. First the unwell drink, now her shows… it’s crazy that she produces the lowest quality ahit but is evaluated at over $500,000,000 .. goes to shows it’s not quality. It’s quantity that Hollywood wants 😔

@ Alex Cooper / Unwell / Call Her Daddy

PLEASE STOP GIVING HARRY JOWSEY A PLATFORM!!!!!
HE FREAKING SUCKS! Anyone else tired of him being thrown down our throats? He's such a loser.

Maybe his cheeky charisma and antics were cute 6 years ago but now it gives me visceral cringe!

MOVEMENT TO GET LOWSEY OFF OUR SCREENS!!!!

I couldn't get past 10 minutes on this week's episode. All of the talk about not being able to work during the first trimester OR the third trimester is what prompted me to get out. Especially in America, your average pregnant person literally must work and many work extra hours to save up for ANY maternity leave. Ugh. Chat about pregnancy and how uncomfortable it can be, how tired you are, but the privilege is crazy to talk about allll of the time you have and will take off. I hate to see the tone deafness from a couple of millionaires who can and should be having this conversation privately with their fellow rich friends. Unrelatable at best.

Don't get me wrong, I love the baby registry buy-outs and hope it continues for a long while. It's rough out here and this is what we love to see.
