Summary
Episode 8 of Netflix's "Earle Meets World" has Earle alleging Cooper manipulated, mistreated and intimidated her during their work on the "Hot Mess" podcast and Unwell Network deal.
Earle said she stayed quiet because she was "scared" of Cooper, claimed she learned through media reports that she was no longer with Unwell, and said the partnership was plagued by constant problems.
Her criticism also reached their 2025 "Call Her Daddy" interview, where Earle said she was drinking while being asked sexual questions she was uncomfortable answering on camera.
A drafted message shown in the episode calls Cooper "manipulative and toxic," accuses her of false promises and threatening her not to "go to war," though it is unclear whether Earle ever sent it.
The episode expands on a feud already teased at the series' Sept. 2 premiere, making the Cooper fallout the show's clearest personal and business conflict.
