Alex Cooper’s latest post raised a few eyebrows.
After appearing in Las Vegas this weekend to host a live show in poor health, the 31-year-old media mogul posted a recap video of the event set to the Britney Spears song “Circus.”
The post caught the attention of savvy fans, who were quick to point out that the music choice could be a jab at Alix Earle, who recently danced to the song during her Dancing with the Stars Season 34 debut on September 16th.
Rumors of a rift between the two social media personalities first surfaced after Earle, 24, parted ways with Cooper’s Unwell Network earlier this year.
In addition to the song choice of Cooper’s recent post, fans theorized that Cooper’s caption had a double meaning.

“How much time do you have? Because I could go all night 😉,” Cooper wrote. “UNWELL VEGAS BABY!!! What an insane lineup, thank you everyone for coming out this weekend!!! It’s our biggest event yet and we’re just getting started. Where should we go next?!!!”
Some speculate that Cooper asked, “How much time do you have?” This is a cryptic reference to a post Earle posted in August, where she addressed rumors of a falling out with Cooper.
In a TikTok video posted on Aug. 1, Earl appeared to confirm the feud rumors after leaving an eyebrow-raising comment.
In the video, Earl sits in the front seat of a car and says to the camera, “My co-star told me I could start today,” referring to the popular astrology app.
“So this is the time I’ve been waiting for to go? I have a lot of information. We can go,” she teased, adding, “Every day I wake up and think, ‘Co-star, what do I do?'” And today is like “revenge”. Let’s go get “them”. ”
One commenter wrote, “Yes, please tell me what happened to Alex Cooper, thank you,” to which Earl replied, “How much time do you have?”
After it was revealed in February that the Call Her Daddy host’s media company and Earl’s podcast were going their separate ways, Earl told fans on TikTok in March that he needed to “pause the podcast for the time being” and said he couldn’t “get into the details right now.”
Amid rumors of a rift, Cooper responded on TikTok at the time, saying, “Alix’s inability to do a podcast has nothing to do with being sick. (I) don’t understand why she can’t do it or what’s going on.”
Back in May, Earl also spoke to the Wall Street Journal about the behind-the-scenes drama that led to the podcast’s hiatus.
“There was a bit of turmoil behind the scenes,” she explained.
