Alix Earle’s “Hot Mess” is homeless.

The Miami influencer’s podcast has been dropped by the Unwell Network, owned by “Call her Daddy” host Alex Cooper.

Sources told Variety that the Gen Z-friendly network, founded by Cooper and her entertainment mogul fiancé Matt Kaplan in August 2023, has renounced all rights to the show. SiriusXM will no longer be selling ads for the confessional style chatfest.

“Join your favorite hot mess as she invites you to listen in on a weekly recap of her life, revealing all the in-depth, exclusive details that has everyone watching,” reads the podcast’s description.

Earle, 24, is now free to move on without legal ramifications.

So what happened? It’s not as if Earle, with more than 7 million followers on TikTok alone, doesn’t reel in the views.

As per Variety, the move may be due to some tension the women have with one another. Rumors of a rift started on Super Bowl Sunday, when Earle bailed on going to a big Unwell party in New Orleans. Eek, the horror.

The UM grad has not addressed the headline-making matter and her bio still list her as the host of “Hot Mess.” The most recent episode centered around her fostering a pitbull Asia with her NFL boyfriend Braxton Berrios; the pooch was just adopted by a forever family, she told her fans on Tuesday.
