The social media influencer recently sat down for an interview with Interview magazine, where she admitted that she hasn’t read an entire book or novel from start to finish. After her comments about her reading experiences were shared, social media immediately began buzzing, with some NFL fans even noting that there have been rumors about her dating Tom Brady circulating on the internet, adding to the backlash.

Alix Earle Admits She’s Never Read A Full Adult Book In A New Interview

If you’re unfamiliar with who she is, Alix Earle is a 25-year-old social media influencer who rose to fame on TikTok with her candid “get ready with me” videos and relatable posts about beauty, dating, and her everyday life. She has since built a massive following, was a notable competitor on Dancing With The Stars, launched the Hot Mess podcast, and stars in her own Netflix reality series, Earle Meets World.

In a recent Q&A with Interview magazine editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg, Alix was asked what the last book she read was, and her response quickly went viral.

“I’ve never read a book,” she admitted, adding, “Like maybe Dr. Seuss.”

The candid confession sparked a wave of reactions online, with some people questioning how she could have graduated from college without reading a full book.

Social Media Users Slam Alix's Interview Amid Tom Brady Dating Rumors

The viral comment also sent some people back to the TV dancer's much-discussed dating life, particularly the romance rumors surrounding her and NFL legend Tom Brady.

 

The speculation began after the pair were spotted getting cozy at a New Year's Eve party in St. Barts shortly after her breakup with NFL player Braxton Berrios, with the two later being spotted together again during Super Bowl weekend.

 

Alix's admission also sparked plenty of backlash on social media, with users criticizing the influencer for saying she had never read a full book. Her comment quickly went viral, prompting reactions from people who were shocked by the confession.

 

"How do you graduate college without having read a book?" asked an Instagram user. "Is this really what the US education system is like?"

 

"I would take that secret to my grave," commented another, with one user adding, "I cannot imagine admitting such a thing."

 

"That's really sad," they continued.

 

"What a great role model for our young women," a sarcastic user commented.
