Alix Earle, one of the biggest influencers of the moment, was accidentally punched in the face while trying to leave a party in Monaco last weekend.
The incident occurred amidst the lively parties leading up to the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, an event that turns the region into one of the most popular spots on the international social calendar.
Man tries to help and ends up hitting the influencer
The 25-year-old American was with a group of friends when a man, in an attempt to attract the attention of security to make it easier to leave the place, ended up accidentally hitting her. Earle described the moment as his “first punch in the face.”
Video on TikTok goes viral with humorous reenactment
In a video published on Sunday on TikTok, the influencer arrived home at 6am and, still in the spirit of the night, reenacted the episode for her followers while doing a GRWM (get ready with me). “I just got punched in the face. The last thing I saw was a fist,” she said, laughing without stopping.
The light and authentic tone of the narrative caught the attention of fans. Instead of complaining about the incident, Earle turned the stumble into light-hearted content, reinforcing the style that has made her one of the most followed content creators in the world.
Earle’s presence in Monaco adds to that of other celebrities and influencers who flocked to the French Riviera for the GP, such as Kim Kardashian and other names from the international jet set. Exclusive parties on yachts, clubs and rooftops usually last until dawn, with busy schedules of events parallel to the circuit.
