Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy wasted no time weighing in on the drama between Alex Cooper and Alix Earle.
After Variety reported on Tuesday, February 25, that Cooper’s Unwell Network had officially dropped Earle’s “Hot Mess” podcast from its roster, Portnoy, 47, took to social media to reveal he and Earle, 24, had a 22-minute phone conversation.
Portnoy shared a screenshot via both his Instagram Stories and Instagram grid of an outgoing call to “Alixearlenew” which took place at 4:47 p.m. that day.
The Barstool Sports founder, who was Cooper’s boss while she was employed by the company and helped Cooper launch her “Call Her Daddy” podcast in 2018 before it moved on to Spotify and later Sirius XM, captioned the Instagram grid post, “You can stop tagging me. I know what needs to be done 😘.”
