Earle, 25, discussed the conflict during the season finale of her family\u2019s Netflix reality series, Earle Meets World, which premiered on September 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dispute between the two internet personalities became public earlier this year after Cooper, 32, called out Earle in a TikTok posted in April. Cooper accused Earle of creating \u201cfake drama\u201d as a distraction from other issues in her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, Earle responded briefly but largely stayed quiet about the situation. In the reality show\u2019s finale, however, she opened up about what happened and discussed the situation with her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earle said she felt as though Cooper\u2019s public comments were an attempt to provoke her into responding. She also admitted that she was \u201cscared\u201d and \u201cintimidated\u201d by the Call Her Daddy host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tension dates back to Earle\u2019s professional relationship with Cooper\u2019s Unwell media network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earle was among the first creators signed to the company after joining in 2023, while her podcast, Hot Mess, was part of the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The podcast left Unwell in March 2025, and Earle said she learned that the professional relationship had ended through media reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking back, Earle claimed that there had been ongoing problems with Unwell and said her experience with the company was different from what she had expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her father, TJ Earle, also alleged that his daughter did not receive the same production support as some of the other shows under the network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, Earle did not have adequate resources to film and produce Hot Mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earle said she had admired Cooper before their professional relationship deteriorated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She described Cooper as someone she had looked up to and hoped would serve as a mentor as she entered the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Earle said she eventually felt taken advantage of and manipulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The influencer also revisited her January 2025 appearance on Cooper\u2019s Call Her Daddy podcast. During the episode, the two participated in a \u201cTruth or Drink\u201d game that involved alcohol and personal questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earle alleged that she became uncomfortable with some of the sexual questions asked during the recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said she had asked for part of the interview to be removed, but claimed Cooper believed the material was entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earle also discussed the impact the interview had on her family because she spoke about her family\u2019s complicated history, including the past relationship between her stepmother, Ashley Dupr\u00e9, and former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dupr\u00e9, who is married to Earle\u2019s father, said in the episode that she was hurt by the way her past was discussed publicly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She explained that she had spent years rebuilding her life and working to maintain a positive relationship with her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Earle\u2019s biggest focus remained her relationship with Cooper and how their professional partnership ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the finale, Earle considered sending Cooper a lengthy private message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the draft, she accused Cooper of being manipulative and toxic and said she believed the business relationship had involved false promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earle also claimed that Cooper had previously warned her against entering into a public conflict with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite considering sending the message, it remains unclear whether Earle actually sent it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dispute has attracted significant attention because of the two influencers\u2019 former professional relationship and Earle\u2019s status as one of the major creators associated with the Unwell network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, neither side appears to have publicly resolved the disagreement. PEOPLE reported that it reached out to Cooper for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All eight episodes of Earle Meets World are currently available to stream on Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
