Alix Earle BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Alix Earle has dominated headlines and social media feeds in the past few days with a flurry of dramatic developments in her career and personal brand. The most talked-about story has been her run on season 34 of Dancing with the Stars. Rumor mills exploded early in the week after Page Six and the Daily Mail reported tension between Alix and her pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy, including claims that Val was “miserable” and “jealous” of contestants with better attitudes. However, Alix shot down these feud rumors in an interview with Us Weekly following their Wicked-themed jazz routine, insisting publicly that “there’s no bad blood” and describing Val as a friend. She doubled down on TikTok, telling fans, “It’s so funny, because I feel like we’re becoming besties … we both just have sarcastic personalities and maybe we need to chill that out, because it does make us look like we hate each other.” Val himself responded online calling her “an absolute pleasure to work with.” According to Cosmopolitan and AOL, the speculation was nothing more than online drama and the two appear to be working just fine.
Shifting to her business moves, Alix was back in the news after launching a $1 million lawsuit against UK fitness giant Gymshark, accusing them of yanking a big-ticket sponsorship deal last minute. Outlets like AOL report she alleges Gymshark pulled out because her public profile was “too controversial”—a claim Gymshark firmly denies, saying the contract negotiations simply fell through. The outcome of this legal showdown could set a precedent for influencer–brand relations as top-tier personalities become powerful corporate entities.
On the media and finance front, CEO Today Magazine and The Hollywood Reporter have been touting Alix Earle as a prime example of the new influencer–empire model. Alix is represented by powerhouse attorneys like Kevin Yorn, who have brokered brand deals and helped evolve her model from “influencer” to genuine business mogul. They underscore the value of “authenticity as a hard asset,” referencing how Alix can move products at scale in what has been dubbed “the Alix Earle effect.” Discussions of a reported offer to license a top creator’s video library for $200 million put Alix on the map of creators negotiating mega-deals for equity, IP, and long-term business power.
From a personal branding aspect, Alix’s rapid response to rumors, her ongoing podcast Hot Mess, and her high-visibility appearances continue to feed her loyal online base. Most major headlines frame her not just as a viral star but as a newly-minted corporate asset at the frontline of a creator economy now forecast to surpass $480 billion by 2027. As the media blurs with business, Alix Earle is setting new precedents for what it means to be a 21st-century celebrity.
