In late February, it was revealed that Alix Earle's podcast, Hot Mess, would no longer be part of Alex Cooper's Unwell Network. 

While it's unclear what went down between Cooper and Earle, there were rumors about them having beef. According to Variety, things took a turn for the worse when Earle skipped an Unwell Network party during the week of the Super Bowl. 

Although fans of Hot Mess are still waiting for an update as to why it's not part of Cooper's podcasting network, Earle announced on Wednesday night that she's changing up her content. 

Earle is taking a break from podcasting for the "foreseeable future." Her plan is to shift over to vlogging on YouTube.  

"I have to put a pause on podcasting right now for the foreseeable future," Earle said in a video shared on TikTok. "Don't really want to get into the details of it all, and I kind of can't get into the details of it all right now, but I've loved it so much, and I'm really proud of what I built with the podcast.

"Those of you who come back every week and listen and watch, I love you so much. I don't want to just leave you astray and not leave you with anything. I also think I would lose my mind. So, good news is I'm gonna be putting out weekly vlogs for the foreseeable future."

Earle's vlogs are going to show "behind-the-scenes" footage of her life. The first video she shared on YouTube is about her family's vacation for spring break. 

"There's going to be no lack of content—it's just going to be a little bit different," Earle continued. "There's been a lot going on over the past month, and although not in an ideal situation right now, we are gonna have a really good time. I'm a big believer in everything happens for a reason." 

Earle already has over 125,000 subscribers on YouTube. It won't be long before she's crushing it on that platform.
