She posted her first TikTok in February 2020.

However, Earle went viral thanks to her “Get Ready With Me” videos, particularly the videos she made showing her unfiltered skin with imperfections.

During an interview on “The Howard Stern Show” in 2023, Earle spoke about his rise to fame.

“When I first started, I had no idea, and I was trying to be perfect and I thought that was the way to go. Then, honestly, it was the summer where I was probably — at my lowest. I was dealing with a bunch of acne and I started posting about my acne,” she said on the show.

“It’s crazy, because I tried the opposite for three years and then the second I stopped trying to be the sexy, pretty, perfect girl, that’s when things started to take off,” she added.

Earle said the “followers started pouring in” after she posted about her acne.

She also shared with her followers about the nightlife as a student in Miami, as well as the frat parties she attended and the work it took to earn her degree.

After graduating, she shared her feelings about the accomplishment: “The day has finally come… 4 years ago, I cried when I found out I was accepted into my dream school. Little did I know those years would be the best years of my life. I gained lifelong friends, created memories I will never forget, and learned life lessons in and out of class,” she wrote on her Instagram.

“I can confidently say that the University of Miami has made me the person I am today and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to attend such an incredible school,” she added.

Expand your empire

In September 2023, Earle’s podcast, titled “Hot Mess with Alix Earle”, was announced.

The podcast, produced by The Unwell Network – led by “Call Her Daddy” host Alexandra Cooper, featured Earle sharing his life behind the camera.

In early 2025, Unwell Network dropped Earle’s podcast and returned the rights to Earle.

“Hot Mess with Alix Earle” returned in June 2025 with a new format, what the star called a “vlogcast.”

Earle gave more details on his YouTube page about his new format: “It’s not going to be a traditional podcast anymore. It’s going to be very video-based. I keep calling it a vlogcast. I’m not even sure that’s a thing. And then maybe it’s just a hot mess, the show.”

Appearance in “Dancing with the Stars”

Earle appeared on season 34 of “Dancing With The Stars,” with partner Val Chmerkovskiy, cementing her star status.

The star placed second, with compatriot Robert Irwin taking home the Mirrorball trophy.

During her time on the hit series, Earle suffered a bruised collarbone and a missing fingernail, which she documented on her social media.
