TikTok sensation Alix Earle is under intense scrutiny after alleged old posts have resurfaced, sparking accusations of racism from her fans. Earle, who skyrocketed to fame in 2022 through her popular “Get Ready With Me” (GRWM) videos and daily vlogs, is now facing backlash after followers shared what they claim are screenshots from her ASKfm account. The screenshots purportedly show Earle using racial slurs directed at Black people and other people of color.
The controversy centers around posts allegedly dating back to 2014, where Earle is accused of using offensive language, including the ‘N-word,’ in response to anonymous questions on the ASKfm platform. Although the authenticity of these screenshots has not been independently verified, they have nonetheless ignited a firestorm of criticism across social media. The 23-year-old influencer has yet to publicly address the situation, leaving many of her fans and followers in disbelief.
The reaction online has been swift and severe. On Reddit, the subreddit r/Alixearlesnark has been particularly active, with users claiming to have unearthed these controversial posts. One user, reacting to the alleged screenshots, expressed shock by writing, “Please tell me Alix Earle did not say the N-word.” Others took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to voice their disappointment, with one user stating, “Being racist is sooooo embarrassing. Like genuinely, get a life.” Another person chimed in, “I can say that I never liked Alix Earle, and now that she’s getting exposed, I’m not surprised.”
This isn’t the first time Earle has faced controversy. In 2023, she was criticized for partying with Ivanka Trump, the daughter of former President Donald Trump. Fans accused Earle of aligning herself with the Republican figure, though the TikToker chose not to comment on the matter at the time. Additionally, Earle found herself in hot water in 2022 after a photo surfaced of her posing with a Trump flag on a boat in 2019. Addressing the backlash during an Instagram Live session, Earle distanced herself from the former president, stating, “I think that Trump is an idiot. I don’t even think the same way I did six months ago about things. I was, like, crazy and psycho last year. And, like, the year before, I was probably a little more psycho.”
As the current situation unfolds, many are left wondering how Earle will respond, if at all, to these serious allegations. For now, the TikTok star remains silent, but the controversy continues to grow as fans and critics alike await her next move.
