Body Language Expert Examines Alex Cooper and Alix Earle’s Feud [Exclusive]

Alix Earle and Alex Cooper are officially engaging in a messy influencer fallout. They first joined forces in 2023 when Earle launched her Hot Mess podcast under Cooper’s Unwell Network. However, tensions reportedly began simmering after the show abruptly exited the network in early 2025, sparking speculation about a behind-the-scenes split. By April 2026, the long-rumored rift boiled over publicly. Cooper directly called out Earle for allegedly fueling “fake narratives.” Here’s what a celebrity body language expert noticed about Cooper and Earle’s body language as they addressed the feud online.

A celebrity body language expert doesn’t think Alix Earle’s response to Alex Cooper’s callout appears ‘natural’

Alex Cooper’s public callout proved there was rumored tension with Alix Earle. Cooper posted a blunt TikTok accusing Earle of being “passive-aggressive” and creating “fake drama” rather than addressing their issues directly. She challenged Earle to speak openly, insisting no NDA was preventing her from telling the truth. Cooper added that she was “tired” of seeing narratives she believed were misleading circulate online.

Earle’s response took a notably different tone. Rather than engaging head-on, she replied, “Okay on it!!” She reposted Cooper’s video and leaned into humor on TikTok, even joking with friends about the situation while continuing to post normally.

Celebrity body language expert Inbaal Honigman spoke to Casino Guru about Cooper and Earle’s body language in both videos. Honigman doesn’t think that Earle looked as if she responded to Cooper’s callout “naturally” in the TikTok of her response following Coachella.

“Sleepy or not, the production of this reaction video is without a doubt pre-planned,” Honigman said. “Alix has seen Alex’s message before and is feigning her surprise.”

“Had this been a true first reaction, Alix would have displayed a greater range of emotions … confusion would have been evident … there would be at least some dismay … some anxiety in case Alex says anything too incriminating,” Honigman continued. “But almost no emotions are present on her face.”

Honigman suggested that the feud between Earle and Cooper certainly isn’t staged. However, the body language expert believes Earle’s reaction shows that she likely processed the discomfort before filming the TikTok response.

“The feud itself does not appear to be fake,” Honigman said. “Alex’s body language indicates that she knows something about Alix, which would be embarrassing for Alix if it came out.”

Alix Earle and Alex Cooper have an unbalanced dynamic, according to the expert

Celebrity body language expert Inbaal Honigman shows the potential unbalanced dynamic between Alix Earle and Alex Cooper. Honigman said Cooper appears “level-headed” and “calm,” whereas Earle appears more “passive.”

“Alex addresses the viewer in a slightly awkward, slouched way …,” Honigman explained. “This choice tells the viewer that she wants to be perceived as calm and peaceful about the whole thing. This is no accidental pose, but well-planned.”

Honigman noted that the post also signals “exhaustion” from Cooper. “Alex’s slump indicates that she’s tired of having to deal with drama not of her own making,” she continued. “She wants to demonstrate the muscle fatigue, which speaks to the mental fatigue that she’s feeling in needing to address this story.”

The expert also noticed how Cooper appeared to give a nearly imperceptible wink while speaking about Earle. “There’s a little wink involved, almost imperceptible, which sends Alix the message that there’s a private secret between the two,” she said.

Overall, Cooper delivers her message calmly. This suggests she wants to manage how the video makes her look to the public.

“Alex is fed up of this made-up drama, while there’s bigger drama hiding under the surface,” Honigman suggested. “She’s holding a secret for Alix …. She’s begging to come to the end of the feud.”

The ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast host might’ve signaled that she’s ‘open to conversation’

Inbaal Honigman exclusively shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet that Alex Cooper glanced upwards and to the side while speaking in her video. These movements show her actively processing her thoughts.

“She glances upwards to the side every few seconds, which suggests that she’s trying to recall facts and trying to keep things honest and factual,” Honigman shared. “Upwards glances, in contrast to downwards glances, indicate positive thoughts, so she’s approaching this in an attempt to fix the situation, not worsen it.”

Honigman also commented on Cooper’s hand gestures.

“As she speaks to Alix, Alex’s right hand comes into view; she clutches at her chest momentarily, showing that she speaks from the heart, then throws her hand sideways, indicating that she’s open to conversation in a welcoming gesture,” she continued. “Alex is happy to listen and negotiate so that their feud can be over.”
