Alix Earle is fiercely slammed after dressing 12-year-old sister for concert: 'She's a kid'
Alix Earle has taken heat after dressing her 12-year-old sister for a concert... with many viewers branding the influencer's outfit choice for the pre-teen as way too mature.
The blonde beauty, 24, shared a Get Ready With Me video to TikTok which showed her helping her little sister Izabel get ready for a The Weeknd concert.
The New Jersey native explained that she was going to assist Izabel in picking out her ensemble for the show.
Alix shared a bunch of different options for her sister to wear... including a slew of tiny crop tops and mini skirts.
At one point, the Dancing With The Stars member started to cut a black jean skirt shorter than it already was.
'I hope I'm not making this too short,' she acknowledged in the video, while ripping at the fabric.
Meanwhile, Izabel sat on the floor in her room wearing a Djerf Avenue bathrobe - which costs a whopping $140 - doing her makeup.
Afterwards, pre-teen tried on the skirt and was happy with the results, as she announced, 'I don't think it's [too] short because I can't feel my butt in the back.'
The duo then started looking at more tops to complete the look.
'I think this one's really cute, but might be too much,' Alix said as she held up a red, strapless, corset.
She then held up a tiny grey tank top with red trim, a black bow, and four black cherries across the chest.
'I think this is giving The Weeknd vibes,' she told her sister.
Alix suggested Izabel try it on, but the youngster said it was 'too casual' and 'ugly.'
She later suggested a cheetah-print tank top, but Izabel said she didn't want to wear it because 'it was see-through.'
The video cut-off before a decision on Izabel's concert outfit was made, but Alix wrote at the end, 'She completely abandoned my skirt and went in her own direction.'
In addition, a user asked what her sister ended up wearing in another video, and Alix said she didn't want to share because she was 'scared of the haters.'
Dozens of shocked viewers raced to the comment section of the video and urged Alix to help retain her sister's youth for as long as she could.
'She is 12, she needs to stay a kid,' one user wrote.
'Alix, I love you, but we gotta protect our little siblings and let them be kids. C'mon girlfriend,' someone else said.
'All of those options a 25-year-old old can wear…' another person wrote.
'None of those options are good for a 12-year-old,' agreed a different outraged viewers.
'This was a hard watch… also why are you making the skirt shorter? She's 12...' read a fifth comment.
'My daughter just turned 11... I couldn't imagine. They are kids, let them be kids,' a sixth said.
'All these outfits are WAY too inappropriate for a child. I would never ever let my little 13-year-old sister walk out of the house dressed in any of those,' announced someone else.
In June 2024, Alix shared an adorable moment on stage at Miami Swim Week with her younger siblings
'Also a Weeknd concert at 12? Let kids just be kids please,' they begged.
'Wow this kind of makes me sad,' another comment read.
Others, however, defended Alix and her outfit suggestions.
'"Let her be a kid" - when I was her age literally all I wanted was all this stuff. She's probably having so much fun as she should,' someone said.
'Y'all didn't have an older sister when you were 12 and it shows,' another user wrote.
A different person commented: 'Guys, she's in my middle school, why are you acting like she's six-years-old. Alix is fine.
'Also, Alix is her cool older sister, not her mom. Obviously, mom would have the final say if she didn't like something Alix picked.'
In June 2024, Alix shared an adorable moment on stage at Miami Swim Week with her younger siblings.
The influencer walked with her sister Ashtin, 22, and half-sisters Izabel and Penelope, eight, during the show.
Alix and Ashtin sported black and white sets, while the younger sisters twinned in bright one-pieces.

Josh Allen breaks his silence on wedding to Hailee Steinfeld and shows off his ring to reporters
Josh Allen has broken his silence on his wedding to Hailee Steinfeld, telling reporters at Bills practice that it was 'the most important decision' of his life. Allen and Steinfeld tied the knot late last month with a beautiful ceremony at the San Ysidro ranch in Montecito, California. And Allen returned to Bills minicamp on Tuesday showing off a black wedding band as he spoke about a huge offseason which has also seen him win the MVP and sign a record-setting contract with $250million guaranteed. 'They've all been big, none other than marrying my best friend, and she makes everything easier,' he told reporters of the accomplishments. 'So I don't really focus on the other stuff. That was the most important decision I'll make in my life, and I made the right one.' Allen was in good spirits during the press conference but was otherwise hesitant to talk too much about his wedding day, which he and Steinfeld largely kept under wraps beforehand. Nonetheless, he proudly flashed his wedding band as he took to the field for Bills minicamp in Orchard Park, New York. Allen's lavish wedding took place at the celebrity favorite San Ysidro ranch, which has previously seen Chris Pratt, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Simpson marry on its grounds. Along with Steinfeld's dad Peter, her mom Cheri and brother Griffin were among the guests looking on, as were Allen's parents Joel and LaVonne, and his siblings Jason, Nicala and Makenna. The couple were seen celebrating saying 'I do' with a kiss in front of a clapping crowd of guests, with a dark suit-clad Allen seen looking proud as he made his way back down the aisle. Allen and Steinfeld were engaged during the Bills bye week in November, when the quarterback proposed on a California cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The two were first linked in the spring of 2023, when they were photographed dining together in New York City. Steinfeld has since begun attending Bills home games, and the couple hosted a Halloween party. The couple also walked the red carpet together at the NFL Honors ceremony in February, when Allen credited Steinfeld upon accepting the league's MVP award. While the couple did their best to keep details of their special day private, Allen's teammate Dion Dawkins previously revealed the date in an on-air TV slip-up. Allen's black band was visible as he practiced for the Bills on Tuesday at minicamp Speaking on Good Morning Football back in March, Dawkins was asked about the wedding and immediately began to share more details than perhaps the bride and groom would have liked. 'Josh Allen is one of those guys and he sealed that deal,' Dawkins told presenter Kyle Brandt, before adding: 'Soon to come, May 31st.' The budding presenter - who is good friends with Allen himself - then looked back in shock at the announcement of the date. After Buffalo's mandatory minicamp wraps up on Thursday, Allen will be able to enjoy some time off with Steinfeld before training camp begins on July 24.

Daughter of accused Gilgo Beach killer believes her father ‘most likely' did it, new film says
The daughter of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann believes he 'most likely' committed the infamous killings in New York even as her mother steadfastly defends her ex-husband's innocence in a new documentary released Tuesday. The admission from Victoria Heuermann isn't made on camera but through a statement from producers near the end of 'The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets,' a three-part documentary on NBC's streaming service Peacock. 'A week before the series release, Victoria Heuermann told the producers that based on publicly available facts that have been presented and explained to her, she now believes her father is most likely the Gilgo Beach killer,' reads a statement at the close of the final episode of the documentary, which was produced by musician 50 Cent's production company, G-Unit Film and Television. Bob Macedonio, an attorney for Heuermann's now ex-wife, Asa Ellerup, said in a statement after the documentary's release that 'time will only tell' whether his client will ever accept that her husband may have been a serial killer. Heuermann's lawyer didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The Manhattan architect has been charged with killing seven women, most of them sex workers, and dumping their bodies on a desolate parkway not far from Gilgo Beach on Long Island, some 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Manhattan. He has pleaded not guilty and is due back in Riverhead court June 17 as a judge continues to weigh whether to allow key DNA evidence into the trial. In the documentary, Victoria Heuermann struggles to reconcile her childhood memories with the portrait of the killer described by authorities. She says her father was around the family '90% of the time' and was never violent toward any of them. At the same time, Victoria Heuermann acknowledged there were times when he stayed home while the family went on vacation and that she was around 10 to 13 years old when the killings happened. Prosecutors say Heuerman committed some of the killings in the basement while his family was out of town. 'Whether or not I believe my dad did it or not, I'm on the fence about that,' said the now 28-year-old. 'Part of me thinks he didn't do it, but at the same time, I don't know, he could have just totally had a double life.' Ellerup, for her part, maintained she saw no 'abnormal behavior' in their nearly three decades of marriage. She dismissed a computer file prosecutors claim is a 'blueprint' of his crimes as 'absurd.' The document features a series of checklists for before, during and after a killing, such as a 'body prep' checklist that includes among other items a note to 'remove head and hands.' Ellerup also shrugged off other evidence prosecutors have enumerated in court documents, including a vast collection of bondage and torture pornography found on electronic devices seized from their home, and hairs linked to Heuermann that were recovered on most of the victims' bodies. At the same time, she revealed that in July 2009, around the time one of his alleged victims went missing, Heuermann suddenly renovated a bathroom while she and their two children were on vacation for weeks to visit her family in Iceland. But she noted her former husband eventually joined the family for their final week of their trip. 'My husband, he's a family man. He's my hero,' Ellerup said. 'What I want to say to him is, 'I love you, no matter what.'' Ellerup divorced Heuermann after his arrest in 2023. But in the documentary, Victoria Heuermann says the separation was for financial reasons to protect the family's assets. Indeed, the mother and daughter have been regularly attending court hearings with their attorney. The filmmakers even captured them speaking to Heuermann by phone from jail. A Peacock spokesperson said Ellerup was paid a location fee and a licensing fee for use of family archive materials, although the payments cannot go toward the defendant or his defense funds. The family, which also includes Ellerup's adult son from a prior marriage, is planning to put up its notoriously ramshackle house in well-to-do Massapequa Park for sale as they look to move to a property they own in South Carolina. ___ Follow Philip Marcelo on X: @philmarcelo.

Top entertainment execs lash out at Warner Bros CEO: 'He's done a terrible job'
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has been ripped by top entertainment executives over the massive 'waste of time' caused by his decision to cleave the company in two. In a move to 'maximize its potential', Zaslav announced on Monday a plan to split Warner Bros. Discovery into two companies to separate streaming services from cable. HBO and HBO Max would lead one of the new companies while Turner-Discovery channels would be in the other, according to Warner Bros. Discovery. 'By operating as two distinct and optimized companies in the future, we are empowering these iconic brands with the sharper focus and strategic flexibility they need to compete most effectively in today's evolving media landscape,' Zaslav said in a statement. The Warner Bros. split will, according to Zaslav, 'invigorate each company by enabling them to leverage their strengths and specific financial profiles.' Yet, it has seen an almost 60 percent drop in shares over five years, including during its attempt to compete in streaming with Netflix and Disney+ in 2022. Its latest move has received further backlash from fellow entertainment insiders. 'This whole thing was a waste of time,' an executive anonymously told WaxWord. 'They lost tremendous shareholder value. It was a failure. It's a deal that never had a shot and shouldn't have been done. But they've also done a terrible job running the company.' Another added that 'the cable bundle has been rotting the business for the past eight years'. They claimed the move was made by Zaslav and shareholder John Malone in an attempt to exit Discovery at the expense of employees, who have already faced waves of layoffs and increased uncertainty, The Wrap reported. A third executive, however, said that the cable channel spin off 'is a huge problem off [Zaslav's] plate. It gives it to Gunnar [Wiedenfels, the company's CFO]. Everyone is doing it - Lionsgate, Comcast, now Warner Bros. and the last person who'll figure it out is [Disney CEO] Bog Iger.' They also pointed out that another deal in 2022 with AT&T - which merged WarnerMedia and Discovery and cost the company $43 billion - might not have been beneficial for the company but that it ultimately helped Zaslav. 'He's still at the table. If he hadn't done the deal, he'd own Scripps and Discovery, and those things are the great disappearing act. So he paid way too much, but he's still at the table,' they said. 'In the end, for him, it was great. For the shareholders, it's a disaster.' The question now, however, is how the move will drag the company out of its $37 billion debt, especially considering it is requiring a $17.5 billion short-term loan to buy back debt from bondholders, the New York Times reported. Warner's whopping debt is said to be divided between the two separated companies, the release said. 'It's safe to assume that the majority of the debt is going to live with global networks and a smaller portion, but not insignificant portion on streaming and studios as well,' said CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels, CNBC reported. One former HBO executive labeled the move as 'another [sad] attempt to salvage a sinking ship.' 'I have spoken with a few of my former surviving colleagues from the "glory" days and they are quite concerned that this is another nothing-burger that gets press and does not move the needle as a long-term strategy,' the exec continued, citing current employees concerns of cuts and 'devaluation of their work.' But another executive believes the move is setting the company up for an inevitable future. 'Anyone who thinks that Warner-HBO thing is going to continue as an independent company is missing what's going on here,' they said. 'That thing is extremely attractive. It's small enough in net value for any of those [streamers] - Netflix, Amazon, Disney - to buy it. Which they will.' Rich Greenfield, an analyst at LightShed Partners, told the NYT that the split could entice a technology buyer with TV and movies that aren't tied to cable networks. Greenfield added, however, that the split should have happened 'years ago,' and the move will likely cost Warner many employees in its cable business to make it more profitable. All three executives agreed, that the move announced on Monday was inevitable and the company failed to head the warnings years ago. Greenfield referred to Robert Iger, CEO of Disney, who warned of declining ESPN subscribers.
