In a blink-and-you-might-miss-it moment,Alix Earle’sHot Messpodcast has finally addressed its exit fromAlex Cooper’s Unwell Network.

AfterVarietyreported that Earle’s podcast had been dropped from the network in February, the influencer, 24, put the rumors to rest with one little change to the podcast’s Instagram bio. While the bio used to tag the official Unwell account, it now simply says, “Get real with @alix_earle,” tagging Earle’s personal account.

On Feb. 25,Varietyreported that the Unwell Network had renounced all rights to the podcast and SiriusXM would no longer sell ads for the show to allow Earle to explore other opportunities. The news came after feud rumors sparked between Earle and Cooper, 30, after the former was not present at Unwell’s Super Bowl party in New Orleans during the2025 Super Bowl weekend.

After Earle was dropped from the Unwell Network, she announced hernext career move on Feb. 26, revealing her plans to invest in a new alcohol brand — which was later revealed to be SipMargs.

“I wanted to do something in the alcohol space since I graduated college,” Earle explained in a get-ready-with-me style video onInstagramat the time. “I’ve been trying to find some way to get involved.”

“The other cool part of this is it could completely fail,” she continued. “It’s scary… there’s a lot that goes into it and [starting something new] is scary, but I believe in it. I believe in the team and the product and I’m very excited.”

Earle later alluded tobeing dropped from the networkin a TikTok shared on Feb. 28, noting that the previous week had been “meh” after the news broke. “There’s been a lot of chatter online this week about me and work. And I also have no idea what’s going on,” she said at the time.
