Popular social media influencer Alix Earle, known widely as TikTok‘s “hot best friend,” is embroiled in controversy after an alleged racist post made by her approximately ten years ago resurfaced online. The post, which has sparked significant backlash, reportedly contains offensive language directed towards a specific community and was made on the social media platform Ask.fm in 2014.
Screenshots circulating online show an account with the name “Alixxxxx” – believed to belong to Earle – using the N-word in response to questions on the platform. Ask.fm, which was founded in 2010, allows users to ask and answer questions anonymously, making it difficult to verify the authenticity of the posts.
Earle, now 23, has become a prominent figure on social media, particularly on TikTok and Instagram, where she has amassed millions of followers who tune in for her lifestyle content. Despite the growing controversy, Earle has yet to publicly address the allegations or clarify whether the account in question was indeed hers.
The resurfacing of the post has led to widespread criticism from followers and the broader social media community, with many expressing disappointment and calling for accountability. The incident has also reignited discussions about the impact of past online behavior on current public figures, particularly in the age of social media, where old posts can quickly resurface and go viral.
As the situation continues to develop, it remains to be seen how Earle will respond to the controversy and what impact it may have on her career and social media presence.
