SINGAPORE: A 17-year-old girl, who was promised a monthly payment of S$200, opened a bank account in 2021, despite knowing that it would be used to transfer “dirty money”.
Gen Z influencer sensation Alix Earle, 23, started her content-creation career on TikTok in 2020 as a college freshman at the University of Miami.
Starting Aug 8, Reddit users published alleged screenshots of posts Earle had allegedly made in 2014, which repeatedly include racial slurs. In screenshots of ASKfm posts, a user by the name of “Alixxxxxx” with a profile picture that appears to be Earle responded to several posts using the N-word. Earle has not made any public statements denying or affirming the accusations or authenticity of the posts. She and her team also did not respond toEarle is somewhat of an anomaly. While there are plenty of Instagram and TikTok influencers out there, there’s no one else who quite matches the level of stardom and attention Earle has received in the past several years.
“In today’s interconnected world, audiences demand accountability, and a single misstep can snowball into widespread backlash,” Toni Ferrara, founder of Ferrara Media, a talent management and public-relations firm, told. “When trust is broken, followers often disengage, reducing the influencer’s ability to impact and inspire their audience.”
Schofield, though, has issued three apologies for the posts she made as a teenager. But from Earle, it’s been crickets – a move public-relations and communications experts say is a mistake.
