Full Story
TikToker Alix Earle recently shared a personal and difficult experience from her past. On the Call Her Daddy podcast, she opened up about the day in 2008 when she discovered her father’s affair with her now-stepmom, Ashley Dupré. At the time, Ashley had gained notoriety for her involvement in a sex scandal with then-New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. Alix recalled the day paparazzi swarmed her family’s New Jersey home, and her mother quickly took her and her sister to their cousins’ house for safety. She was unaware of the paparazzi’s presence and believed that news broadcasters were interviewing the neighbors.
As time went on, Alix, who was in fourth grade at the time, began hearing commentary from others and decided to Google her family. What she discovered shattered her world. She learned about her father’s affair with someone known for her involvement with high-profile individuals, including the governor. The affair became a highly publicized situation, leaving Alix feeling devastated. She credits her mom for shielding her and her sister from much of the tension within the family during that time. Her mother was mature about the situation and did not burden them with her own stress.
Eventually, Alix’s parents separated, and her father pursued a relationship with Ashley. Alix found it strange and difficult to accept her stepmom’s presence in their lives, especially at a young age. She recalls being told to be respectful and nice to Ashley, which she found challenging. The fallout from the affair continued, with some kids not being allowed to visit Alix’s house because of it. Alix felt humiliated when her connection to Ashley and Spitzer’s scandal was discussed in her high school class. Her teacher discussed the affair and looked at her while doing so, which made her classmates laugh and caused Alix to leave school crying.
Despite the hardships, Alix’s family has now blended together well. She has a positive relationship with her stepmom and her step-siblings. Alix has discussed their past issues openly and emphasized that their family has moved forward and grown closer.
