Alix Earle admits she cried herself to sleep after her Dancing with the Stars performance this week — but not for the reason you’d think. The 24-year-old influencer took to TikTok after the show on Tuesday night (Nov. 4), sharing an emotional video where she could be seen looking distraught while lying in bed with a bag of popcorn. While fans may think she was upset about one of her dances or a score she received from the judges, Earle explained that she was so upset because she was thinking about how soon the DWTS experience will be over. “Crying myself to sleep bc I know this experience is coming to an end soon,” she wrote on the video. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 In the caption, Earle went on to reflect on her time on the show and how much it’s completely changed her life. “I cry every time I think about DWTS coming to an end. This experience has by far been the most fulfilling, nerve wrecking, and self reflective time of my life,” Earle wrote. She continued, “I wake up everyday so excited to dance, learn, & challenge myself mentally and physically. I couldn’t be happier getting to do this.” Earle went on to thank all of her followers and fans that have been voting and keeping her in the competition for the past eight weeks, writing that they “have no idea how much it means” to her. “I will cherish this forever & ever,” she added. “Beyond just dancing I feel like I’ve grown as a person and really getting to know myself. I can’t even begin to imagine this not being a part of my everyday life going forward. Ik I sound so cheesy but I mean it. Taking in every last second of this.” In the comments, past DWTS competitors showed their support for Earle, writing that they completely understand what she’s going through. “It’s gonna be hard but you’ll have this the rest of your life. Truly unforgettable,” Ilona Maher wrote, while Jenn Tran added, “It was some of the best memories of my life 😭😭🥳🥳 enjoy every second!!!!! 🥰” With just three more weeks of this season, only time will tell if Earle takes home the Mirrorball trophy!
