SAEDNEWS: Alix Earle apologizes for racist social media posts from her teenage years, admitting her responsibility for the hurt caused by her words.
According to SAEDNEWS, Alix Earle, a popular beauty and lifestyle influencer, has expressed her regret over racist posts she made when she was just 13 years old. These comments, which first came to light two years ago, have resurfaced recently on various social media platforms, prompting fans to urge her to address them.
On Instagram Stories on August 26, Earle took responsibility for her past actions. She specifically mentioned her use of an offensive slur in posts from her old ASKfm account.
Earle stated, “I am taking accountability and want to make it clear that I was 13 years old and did not understand the deeply offensive meaning behind that word. However, that is no excuse for using that word in any context or at any age.” She emphasized that such language is not representative of who she is today.
She went on to apologize to those she offended, saying, “I am deeply sorry that my words have hurt many and have led people to believe that I have any prejudice in my heart. I promise you that could not be further from the truth.”
Earle also admitted that she regrets not addressing the situation sooner, explaining, “I wasn’t sure how to handle it, and unfortunately the advice I was given, although well-intended, was wrong.” She concluded by asserting, “There is no one to blame but myself for not standing my ground and going with my gut to speak out right away.”
Fans and followers alike have expressed their support for Earle as she navigates this important conversation about accountability and growth.
