He posted his first TikTok in February 2020.
However, Earle went viral through his “Get Ready With Me” videos, specifically the videos he made showing off his unfiltered skin that included blemishes.
During an interview on “The Howard Stern Show” in 2023, Earle spoke about his rise to fame.
“When I 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 when I was probably at my lowest point. I was dealing with a lot of acne and I started posting about my acne,” she said on the show.
“It's crazy, because I was trying the opposite for three years and then the moment I stopped trying to be the attractive, pretty, perfect girl, that's when things started to take off,” she added.
Earle said “the followers started coming in” after posting about her acne.
She also shared with her followers about the nightlife as a college student in Miami, as well as the frat parties she attended and the work it took to earn her degree.

Upon graduation, she shared her feelings about the achievement: “The day has finally come… 4 years ago I cried when I found out I had been accepted to my dream school. Little did I know that these years would be the best years of my life. I have gained lifelong friends, created memories I will never forget, and learned life lessons in and out of the classroom,” 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 to have had the opportunity to attend such a wonderful school,” she added.

Expanding 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 her life behind the camera.
In early 2025, Unwell Network dropped Earle's podcast and returned the rights to it.
“Hot Mess with Alix Earle” returned in June 2025 with a new format, something the star called a “vlogcast.”
Earle gave more details on his YouTube page about his new format: “This is not going to be a traditional podcast anymore. It's going to be very video-forward. I still call it a vlogcast. I'm not even sure if that exists. And then maybe it'll just be a disaster, the show.”
Appearance of 'Dancing with the Stars'
Earle appeared on season 34 of “Dancing With The Stars” with partner Val Chmerkovskiy, furthering his star status.
The star came second, with fellow contestant Robert Irwin winning the Mirrorball trophy.
During his run on the hit series, Earle suffered a bruise on his collarbone and a missing toenail, which he documented on his social media.
