Alix Earle shares insights on coping with public criticism with stepmom Ashley Dupre's advice
FLORIDA, MIAMI: TikTok Sensation Alix Earle has reportedly received guidance from her stepmom, Ashley Dupre, amid her rising fame.
Earle continues to grapple with her meteoric rise to fame. In just a matter of months, she has gone from crossing the one million follower milestone to now boasting an impressive 5.7 million TikTok followers.
Her journey to stardom has been nothing short of a whirlwind, marked by globetrotting adventures, appearances at high-profile events like the ESPYs, and even a notable presence at Drake's birthday celebration.
As Earle's fame continues to skyrocket, she has discovered a valuable source of support in an unlikely mentor, Dupre.
While Earle has garnered fame on the popular social media platform, Dupre experienced a completely different type of notoriety as a former escort embroiled in the 2008 scandal involving former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer.

"We've gotten to such a good point," Earle told Elle of Dupre, who married her father, Thomas, in 2013.
"Whatever's happened in the past, we've all gotten past it as a family," Earle added.
In fact, Earle, who considers Dupre to be "super close," said that she had even approached her stepmother for advice.
"One time I was overwhelmed about something of mine and I called my dad," the 22-year-old recalled.
She continued, "He was like, ‘You should really talk to Ashley about this. She has dealt with this before, stuff in the media.' It's brought us closer because she's able to guide me through it."
Alix Earle dives into the 'Alix Earle Effect' and addresses online hate
Earle stands out as more than just a "pretty face." The 22-year-old dynamo, often dubbed the "It Girl," has made her mark on the platform.
In 2023, Earle earned a marketing degree from the University of Miami's Herbert Business School.
While she initially gained recognition for her past relationship with Yankees player Tyler Wade, Earle skyrocketed to fame on TikTok due to her refreshingly unfiltered and humorous content.
Earle let her audience into her world, showcasing her messy room, discussing her situations during 'Get Ready With Me' sessions.
The 'Alix Earle Effect' is a phenomenon that encapsulates her authenticity and relatability, setting her apart from the crowd.
Her content feels genuine and down-to-earth, which resonates deeply with her growing fanbase.
Earle maintains a pragmatic approach to criticism. She values constructive feedback but remains unfazed by hate. "I care about their constructive criticism, but not so much the hate," she asserted.
She added, "I’m putting myself out there, so people are allowed to have their own opinions....I care about their constructive criticism, but not so much the hate."
She explained, "A lot of my followers were saying that they knew I didn’t like the outfits I was promoting, and they could tell because they know me."
She continued, "I realized that you can’t just be taking things as a money grab. I don’t like to promote anything unless it’s something I like, or that I think my followers would like."
She added, "That was a big turning point in how I looked at things business-wise."
