The Internet never forgets.
The past is catching up with TikTik phenomenon Alix Earle, again.
The University of Miami grad, 23, came under fire this week for a series of alarming posts from a decade ago.
Someone with the Reddit handle Ok_Buy6511 apparently dusted off some blurry screenshots of Earle allegedly using the N-word back in 2014 on ASKfm, a random dating site.
It’s unclear why the four posts, from when Earle was just a teenager and originally appeared on a subreddit called r/Alixearlesnark in 2022, reared their ugly head again, but here we are.
A scan of Earle’s most recent activities on TikTok shows the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model playing DJ with remixing king John Summit somewhere, looking like she doesn’t have a care in the world.
“Learning from the best,” said the caption.
But many of her 7 million plus followers weren’t letting her off so easily. In the comments, the New Jersey native was asked to address the matter immediately:
“No response is a response.”
“Time to explain, Alix!”
“We’re waiting gf.”
But a good number of other people supported her, and even helped fend off the haters.
“Wait away, she was a child.”
“Get over it.”
“Nah, she good.”
Gen Z lifestyle site Her Campus reached out to the influencer’s camp but did not hear back.
