Alix Earle vulnerably opened up about her recent mental health struggles and suffering from a panic attack as a result of online scrutiny.
“I know I haven’t posted anything on here in the past few days,” the internet personality shared via a TikTok video Sunday.
“Honestly, I just sort of took some time for myself and tried to not be online as much because I was getting into not the best place.”
Earle, 25, explained that she’s “always been fine with reading” the online commentary about herself, explaining, “That’s what you subject yourself to when you post yourself online.”
“But recently, I don’t know. It’s felt more negative,” she admitted.
“Obviously it’s gonna get to you or make you overthink when you’re constantly reading about what you’re doing, the way you look, who you’re hanging out with, what you’re saying.”
The “Dancing With the Stars” alum shared that she reached a breaking point and “just broke down in tears” while doing her makeup routine last week.
“I was on the plane and I had a panic attack,” Earle said. “I’ve just been struggling a bit. It’s my happy place to come on here and talk and share things.”
However, recently, she has felt as if “every time” she posts something, critics try to find a problem or try to “figure out what [she’s] talking about.”
“It just turns into something bigger,” the TikToker said. “I’m just trying to share my human experiences.”
Earle stated there was a “double standard,” explaining that viewers think they can comment the “nastiest things” under her videos, but she would be labeled the “biggest bitch ever” if the tables were turned.
To unwind, Earle spent quality time with her friends in Miami, and opted out of posting a vlog after “overthinking everything about [herself].”
The model clarified that she loves her job as a content creator, but it “shouldn’t result in hating” herself.
“I’ve actually recorded a video like this a few times, but the other times I was recording it I was crying and I was like, let me just collect myself a little more,” she added, sharing that she was starting to feel better.
Several fans gave their heartwarming support to Earle, with one commenting, “Take care of yourself busy queen.”
“It’s jealousy! You’re my queen,” another added, as a third chimed in, “People throw rocks at things that shine 💎.”
Earle is often open and vulnerable with viewers about her life, including her December 2025 breakup with Braxton Berrios, though she shies away from saying his name.
Additionally, Earle has also subtly referenced her feud with “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper after the latter requested that she air their beef instead of continuing with “passive-aggressive re-posts and likes.”
The duo used to work together on Cooper’s media company, Unwell Network. However, the company dropped Earle’s “Hot Mess” podcast last year, sparking fallout rumors.
