Alix Earle Teases 'Hot Mess' Podcast Return, 4 Months After Parting Ways from Alex Cooper's Unwell Network
Alix Earle teased the return of her podcast, Hot Mess, with a three-part Instagram post on Monday, June 23 The influencer shared cryptic pictures with text that read "coming soon" and "Hot Mess Summer," though didn't provide many details News of the podcast's return comes four months after it parted ways with Alex Cooper's Unwell Network in FebruaryAlix Earle appears to be returning to the mic! The social media star, 24, hinted on her Instagram on Monday, June 23, that her podcast, Hot Mess, is picking back up this summer since parting ways with Alex Cooper's Unwell Network in February. Earle didn't provide many details when announcing the revival of her podcast; however, she shared the news of its return in a cryptic three-part post with clues in each photo. (When looking at the Hot Mess Instagram grid, meanwhile, the three posts made one cohesive picture.) The first image was an aerial shot of a desk, featuring text that reads "Coming Soon..." along with a "Hot Mess Receipt," which listed "vlogcast," "btbp" and "hot mess summer pending" on it. The photo also pictured an iced coffee and black sunglasses. The second image featured a notebook with text that reads, "Hot Mess with Alix Earle," on one page. On the other, a doodled arrow is pointing to the number "25" within a heart in the top right corner, perhaps a cryptic way of signifying a date of its premiere. The third and final image featured the words "Hot Mess" written alongside the text "Alix Earle" and doodled hearts on white pieces of paper. Also pictured were wired headphones, a cell phone and a purple card that reads, "Congratulations." Earle, herself, engaged in a joint-Instagram post on the second photo — however, no caption was written. Fans expressed their excitement in the comment section of the third photo, many of which are guessing the first episode of the podcast's return will drop on Wednesday, June 25. "Did I see June 25th?? 👀" wrote one user. "Yay we missed you Big Al!!!!!!!!" commented another. "Earle Girls are back June 25th ?!!!🍸" penned a third. The return of Hot Mess comes four months after Variety first reported the podcast parted ways with Cooper's Unwell Network in February. It launched its first episode in September 2024. On March 26, Earle announced on TikTok that she was taking a break from podcasting. "I have to put a pause on podcasting now for the foreseeable future," she said on the show at the time. In the clip, the content creator said that she couldn't "get into the details" of why the podcast was paused, but shared that she would be putting out "weekly vlogs" for her fans instead. Due to lack of explanation upon pausing her podcast, fans speculated a feud between Earle and Cooper was the reason behind the media move; however, Cooper — founder of the Unwell Network — was quick to put those rumors to rest. "Alix not being able to podcast has nothing to do Unwell," the Call Her Daddy host wrote in a post on her Instagram Stories and TikTok that same day Earle announced the show's pause. "[I don't know] why she can't/what's going on." Cooper also clarified that "Unwell gave [Alix] back everything" and that Earle "owns her IP," noting she "learned from the best" and tagged Barstool Sports founder and CEO Dave Portnoy. In May, Earle teased her future plans when speaking with E! News on the Kentucky Derby red carpet at Churchill Downs on Saturday, May 3. "[I have] lots of plans, lots of dreams," Earle told the outlet, though she didn't explicitly mention anything specific. "I don't want to jinx anything." On May 15, Earle celebrated the launch of the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and spoke with PEOPLE exclusively at the party in New York City. A few days later, the social media sensation was announced as the second celebrity contestant to compete on season 34 of Dancing with the Stars. Read the original article on People

Alix Earle Says Departure from Alex Cooper's Unwell Network Was a 'Hot Mess' Behind the Scenes
Alix Earle opened up about her Hot Mess podcast's pause during an interview with the Wall Street Journal published on Thursday, May 22 The social media star described the behind-the-scenes as a "hot mess," a nod to the title of the podcast formerly backed by Alex Cooper's Unwell Network Earle's comments come approximately two months after she announced Hot Mess' hiatus for the "foreseeable future" on March 26What's the saying ... Art imitates life? Alix Earle described her now-defunct Hot Mess podcast as just that — a "hot mess" — when attempting to explain to the Wall Street Journal about the production politics that led to the show's hiatus for the foreseeable future. Hot Mess was backed by Alex Cooper's Unwell Network, the media startup that signed Earle, 24, as one of its first stars in 2023. Episodes were released for over a year, but then the relationship between her and the media company began to unravel, leading to the podcast's pause on March 26. At the time, fans speculated a fallout between the two women, however, Cooper, 30, put the rumors to rest to clarify that the Unwell Network is not the reason behind Earle's decision to halt Hot Mess. "Alix not being able to podcast has nothing to do Unwell," Cooper wrote on TikTok at the time. "[I don't know] why she can't/what's going on." Related: Dancing with the Stars Names Alix Earle as Second Celebrity Contender for Mirror Ball Trophy in Season 34 Cooper — who did not comment for WSJ's feature — previously clarified that "Unwell gave [Alix] everything back" and that Earle "owns her IP," noting she "learned from the best" before tagging Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy. That being said, Earle admitted to the WSJ that it has been a process to get everything back in her hands. "That was, behind the scenes, a little bit of a hot mess," Earle said in her digital cover story.
