Fresh off an October 28 spotlight, she hosted Andy Cohen on her SiriusXM juggernaut Call Her Daddy, where the Bravo impresario dished on everything from network power moves to dating life, adding another high-wattage chapter to Cooper’s ever-growing podcast legacy according to SiriusXM. Meanwhile, the influencer world is transfixed by Cooper's ongoing public feud with Alix Earle. The rift, reignited when Cooper used Britney Spears' Circus soundtrack for her Las Vegas Unwell tour Instagram, was widely seen as a subversive callback to Earle’s earlier Dancing With The Stars debut. The caption, “How much time do you have? Cause we could go all night,” only stoked speculation. Social feeds and comment sections split, with fans and industry insiders from the Wall Street Journal to People analyzing whether this is genius-level PR or a gamble with her multimillion-dollar reputation, as detailed by Spreaker’s QP - Daily.
