Lauren Burnham is clarifying why she’s not a huge fan of “Call Her Daddy” podcast host Alex Cooper.
Posting via her TikTok accounton Friday, May 1, The Bachelor alum, 34, said she wanted to “clear the air” and “give you the short and not-so-sweet information” about why she had a strong dislike for Cooper.
Burnham says the beef stems from when the “Call Her Daddy” podcast previously had a recurring segment to make fun of her then-unborn daughter Alessi, 6, whom she shares with husband Arie Luyendyk Jr. (The couple are also parents to 4-year-old twins Senna and Lux and 7-month-old daughter Livvy.)
“They had this regular segment ongoing and they thought it would be funny to make fun of our unborn baby,” Burnham explained.
Alex Cooper is finally speaking out about those feud rumors by publicly calling out Alix Earle. Cooper, 31, shared a TikTok video on Monday, April 13, in which she questioned Earle, 25, allegedly insinuating that there was drama between them, saying, “You guys know I don’t usually address this kind of stuff because it feels […]
Burnham said she didn’t care if she and her husband were mocked, but her unborn child was crossing a line.
“Make fun of us, don’t care. But they took it too far. They made a regular segment before she was born and after she was born where they were sexualizing our child and talking very inappropriately and disgustingly about her,” Burnham added.
The reality TV alum said the comments reached the point that she and Luyendyk considered taking legal action against Cooper but ultimately chose not to.

“We thought it would blow over. She just kept going on forever. Eventually she stopped and we kind of forgot about it and now that it’s resurfacing again, it still makes me so furious,” Burnham added. “I just hope that all of this controversy that’s hanging around her right now causes her to rethink the level that she is willing to stoop to to get attention, views, whatever it is that she’s looking for because it’s not okay and that’s all I have to say about that.”
Us Weekly reached out to Cooper’s representative for comment.
Alix Earle is ready to share her side of the story amid drama with Alex Cooper. “OK on it!!”, Earle, 25, wrote in the comments section of Cooper’s Monday, April 13, TikTok video where she asked the influencer to publicly address their feud. Hours earlier, Cooper, 31, made headlines when she questioned Earle for allegedly […]
Burnham previously spoke about her fury over the comments during an episode of the “Unplanned” podcast in 2023.
“I was really upset because they would mention her and then make inappropriate comments right after. It was so classless,” she said at the time.
Burnham continued, “Arie was like, ‘Don’t do anything about it.’ I was about to hire a lawyer. Honestly, they should be in big trouble for doing that. It’s not OK. I never said anything because he felt like if we addressed it publicly, it would only make it bigger. That’s what they want.”
Earlier this week, Burnham declared she was throwing her support behind Alix Earle amid the influencer’s drama with Cooper.
“Team @alixearle all the way,” Burnham wrote via her Instagram Stories on Thursday, April 30. “It’s about time Alex Cooper gets called out. & yes, it’s personal.”
