The simmering tension between podcast host Alex Cooper and social media influencer Alix Earle has intensified dramatically, with Cooper now publishing private direct messages involving Brianna Chickenfry, who has publicly defended Earle in the ongoing dispute.
Cooper, host of the popular "Call Her Daddy" podcast, took to Instagram with a pointed message: "This girl on girl s*** needs to stop." She specifically called out Chickenfry, a Barstool Sports employee who has inserted herself into what has become a public battle between two prominent online personalities.
According to Cooper, Chickenfry has contributed to what she calls a "fake narrative and dog pile" by labeling her a mean girl online. In response, Cooper shared what she claims are receipts that tell a different story.
The thread begins with Bri reaching out to AC first back in 2022 -- getting ahead of a podcast episode that was about to drop where Bri was edited to trash Cooper and 'Call Her Daddy' ... after Barstool boss Dave Portnoy tried to start a hate train between the two women in the episode.
The published messages reveal what appear to be cordial exchanges between Cooper and Chickenfry over the past few years. However, Cooper concluded her social media post by clarifying that Chickenfry was never invited to appear on "Call Her Daddy" and suggested the real mean girl behavior might be coming from Chickenfry herself.
Chickenfry wasted no time responding, taking to TikTok to double down on her criticism of Cooper. She claimed that based on what Earle told her during the Super Bowl, "Alex Cooper is a very, very mean person."
The public airing of private messages marks a significant escalation in what began as subtle online tensions between Cooper and Earle, drawing in multiple figures from the podcast and social media spheres.
