Top podcaster Alex Cooper at war with TikToker who blasted her display of wealth
Famed podcaster Alex Cooper is at war with a TikToker who criticized the media personality for her display of wealth.
Ali Ambrose, who goes by Geniusgirlalert on TikTok, shared a video this month claiming that a recent clip from Cooper’s show “Call Her Daddy” was “the craziest recession indicator.”
Ali said that as she watched the video, which featured Cooper and her fellow podcaster friend and New York City influencer Hallie Batchelder, she thought to herself, “It’s about to get really bad, I think.” I think this is a sign.’
In the episode, Cooper spoke to 27-year-old Hallie about a range of topics, but at one point they discussed how she uses her father’s black card to make purchases.
The conversation didn’t seem to sit well with Ali as she called out the podcasters for their money-related comments.
‘And like joking about using your father’s black card in the same breath and talking about it, laughing about pimping yourself out with men who are next to you economically, like a ‘well-bred girl’, like a ‘girl from the society’, “I don’t know it all, yeah, I don’t know,” Ali said in response to the episode.
A few days later, Hallie had Alex on her podcast ‘Extra Dirty’ as the pair discussed the TikToker’s comments, with Hallie saying that ‘anyone who comments’ on the way she spends her father’s money is ‘poor’, while Alex laughed in response. .
Ali then hit back, saying that the word “poor” is not offensive, but the fact that it comes from someone “born into wealth” is “tacky” to her.
Alex Cooper is embroiled in an online war after Ali Ambrose, who goes by the name Geniusgirlalert on TikTok, commented on an episode the podcaster shared with her friend Hallie Batchelder
While responding to Ali’s claims, Hallie said the TikTok only commented because she is “poor.”
During the original clip, the influencer, who enjoyed dirty martinis with Alex, discussed how her father’s “black card” doesn’t like seeing me coming.
When asked by Alex if Hallie thinks she would ever be cut off from her father, she said no because her father “really wants us.” [her and siblings] to be safe.”
Alex then joked: ‘Okay, so a new bag. Safety. New hair. Safety,” as the couple laughed.
After watching the clip herself, Ali said she had recently seen a “resurgence of influencers like this” who depict the “casual class, drunken, sardonic, unfeeling vibe” that resembles “1920s literature.”
“It’s causing major depression,” Ali said, adding that Alex and Hallie’s video told her “to buckle up.”
Alex and Hallie quickly addressed Ali’s comments, adding more fuel to the fire.
“Anyone who says, ‘This girl sucks,’ ‘It’s not a flex’ – you’re poor and I don’t feel sorry for you,” Hallie said in response to Ali’s claims
“There was a financial conversation… I saw a TikTok, it was too much, I was too hammered, and they were talking about the renaissance,” Alex said, incorrectly referring to Ali’s mention of the recession.
“I think they were a little disturbed by the talk about your dad having money or something,” Alex said to Hallie, who then replied, “They’re probably broke.”
“Anyone who says, ‘This girl sucks,’ ‘She’s not a flex’ – you’re poor and I don’t feel sorry for you,” Hallie added.
After seeing the podcaster’s reaction to her first clip, Ali made her own video titled “Re: Alex Cooper Calls Me Poor.”
“Yesterday, Alex Cooper and Hallie Batchelder posted a clip on the Extra Dirty podcast TikTok talking about my TikTok and essentially calling me poor.
‘Personally I’m not offended by the word poor, I don’t know why anyone would be.
“It’s a little tacky in my opinion to hear it especially from the mouth of someone who was born into wealth,” she added, referring to Hallie, the daughter of Charles Batchelder, the founder of Wyman Street Advisors, a real estate firm based in Massachusetts. .
She then spoke directly about Alex, saying, “To spend the last ten years touting yourself as a big, bad boss, and you’ve been successful at that.
“You left Barstool, you started your own company, you got Sofia out, and you interviewed the vice president three weeks ago,” Ali continued.
She then attacked Alex for saying she was talking about the “renaissance” instead of the “recession,” and for admitting she was “too hammered” to even understand her first segment.
Ali said that although Alex has made a name for herself and become a successful businesswoman, she had a tendency to “mirror the person in front of her.”
“That makes sense because honestly, I wasn’t bashing them at all. My TikTok was about something I noticed in society, something I noticed about the general public noticing this exorbitant display of wealth,” Ali said.
She added that many people are introduced to “loose, hedonistic characters pushed at us by influencers.”
“It reminded me of the 1920s, the roaring 20s,” she said, adding that she was commenting on the common personal brands she thinks influencers adhere to.
“I’m commenting on the brand you’ve created for yourself. This is the brand you present yourself to on the internet: a rich girl who drinks a lot and parties a lot,” she said of Alex.
“I didn’t think I suspected anything by commenting on that, but when I hear your name in that context and immediately jump to ‘You’re poor, you’re poor, you’re poor’, I find that very ugly” Ali responded .
The TikToker added that she originally wrote down what she wanted to say in response, but instead chose to speak out.
“Alex Cooper, I’m so disappointed. You know, whether you like her or not, she’s a modern woman, she’s educated, she’s a businesswoman.
“I think she’s smart, I think she clearly knows what a recession is, I think she reflects the person in front of her, and if you want to be like that, you have to be careful who you put in front of you,” Ali said .
