Just when we thought the internet couldn’t get any weirder, Alix Earle started her most recent TikTok by filing down her front tooth. “I bit it off a little bit at dinner last night, so I want to see if I could smooth it out a little bit,” she said before jokingly quipping, “Veneer reveal!”
The Hot Mess podcast host shared that she had the dental procedure done during her senior year of college in order to straighten her smile, as her two front teeth had shortened from her Invisalign treatment. While she only wanted two veneers, she said her dentist at the time convinced her to get 10.
She admitted that she “immediately regretted” the decision and that she refrained from posting about it because she “never wants to influence people to do something that I don’t think they should do.”
Alix then held back tears as she reflected on her regretful decision. “I think it was really scary for me, and I was like, ‘What did I just do?’” she said. “And I had such good teeth and, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I have to keep up with this for the rest of my life.’”
She continued, “I will say I don’t regret a lot, but it is something I really regret doing. At the end of the day, whatever. It was my decision, but I feel like it was kind of one of those decisions that was made pretty fast. And I just didn’t think it all the way through or, I think, talk to enough people.”
Fans flooded Alix’s comments section with love, praising her for her vulnerability. “This was humanizing, honestly. I appreciate this transparency,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Regretting things that are irreversible is a different type of pain.”
The multihyphenate—who was recently featured on the June cover of Sports Illustrated, nbd—also shared a recent encounter when her tooth chipped in front of Kate Hudson. It fell out as she sipped on a margarita during a party on the Ritz-Carlton cruise line, and Alix said that the Running Point star was “so, so sweet” about the situation.
“Thank God for her because otherwise I would’ve been alone, crying about my tooth,” said Alix. Honestly, same.
