Alix Earle Cracks Under Pressure: Panic Attack Sparks Emotional Breakdown
Alix Earle shattered the facade of social media perfection, revealing a panic attack that left her in tears, all thanks to the toxic online scrutiny she faces daily.
In a raw TikTok video, she admitted to taking a break from posting, stating, “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.”
The 25-year-old influencer has always claimed to handle online commentary well, but recently, the negativity has become unbearable. “It’s felt more negative,” she confessed, acknowledging the toll it takes on her mental state.
Constantly bombarded with opinions about her looks, lifestyle, and choices, Earle said, “Obviously it’s gonna get to you or make you overthink.”
On a plane, she experienced a panic attack, admitting, “I’ve just been struggling a bit.” She described her social media presence as her happy place but feels that every post invites criticism. “Every time I post something, critics try to find a problem,” she lamented.
Earle pointed out a glaring double standard: viewers can hurl the “nastiest things” at her without consequence, while she would be labeled a “biggest bitch ever” if roles were reversed.
To cope, she sought solace with friends in Miami and decided against vlogging after spiraling into self-doubt. Despite her love for content creation, she emphasized that it “shouldn’t result in hating” herself.
She recorded multiple videos expressing her feelings but held back tears each time. “Let me just collect myself a little more,” she said, indicating she was beginning to feel better.
Support flooded in from fans, with one urging her to “take care of yourself busy queen,” while another declared, “It’s jealousy! You’re my queen.”
Earle has been candid about her life, including her breakup with Braxton Berrios in December 2025, though she avoids mentioning his name directly.
She has also hinted at a feud with “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper after Cooper called for a public airing of their issues instead of passive-aggressive social media interactions.
The two previously collaborated on Cooper's media company, Unwell Network, which dropped Earle's “Hot Mess” podcast last year, igniting rumors of fallout.
