Part 2/3:
According to a report from Variety, the Unwell Network made the decision to drop "Hot Mess" after it had been part of their roster for over a year. This news comes on the heels of SiriusXM announcing that it would no longer manage ad sales for the program, a shift that has fueled speculation regarding tensions between the podcast's hosts.
Earl's weekly podcast, launched in September 2023 under the Unwell Network—a company co-founded by Cooper and her husband, Matt Kaplan—had attracted attention during its short tenure. Discussions surrounding the podcast's abrupt cancellation intensified following Alex Earl's absence from a significant Unwell Network event related to the Super Bowl in New Orleans, raising questions about the dynamics between the two hosts.
