Alix Earle says she “immediately regretted” her decision to get veneers.
The influencer, 24, got real about her faux teeth in a Wednesday, July 2, TikTok video that explained why she did not acknowledge the cosmetic treatment after graduating college.
“I never wanted to post about it, “ she revealed, “because I immediately felt like I regretted it. And I never want to, like, influence people to do something that I don’t think they should do.”
She added that she never had braces growing up and in her senior year of high school, wore Invisalign devices to straighten her teeth. However, she recalled the treatment causing two of her front teeth to appear “shorter” than the rest. “So I did composite bonding,” she said, which added length to the teeth, but also made them fragile.
“So, like I’m an anxious person, and sometimes if I have a bad dream, I’ll bite my teeth in my sleep — and they would, like, crack off,” she explained. “It happened a lot, honestly.”
In Earle’s senior year of college, she grew a large TikTok following and decided that it would be a good time to get veneers. She had wanted only two — to fix those problem teeth — but a dentist persuaded her to get 10 new teeth.
“I don’t know, honestly, kind of emotional for me,” she admitted while holding back tears, recalling that she followed the dentist’s advice and “really regretted it. Like, right away. And I think it was really scary for me, and I was like, ‘What did I just do? 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.’”
Earle said her veneers look “really similar to my normal teeth, so I’m like, ‘Why did I even do that in the first place?’”
She confessed, “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.”
Earle also revealed that she recently cracked a tooth while talking to Kate Hudson at a social event on the Ritz-Carlton cruise line. She was sipping a margarita out of a straw when the accident happened.
Earle recalled that Hudson was “so, so sweet” about the mishap, adding, “Thank God for her, because otherwise I would’ve been alone, crying about my tooth.”
In the TikTok, Earle showed herself filing down the tooth to make it smoother.
The internet personality rose to fame through the platform in 2022. Us Weekly confirmed last month that she has a reality show in the works that will feature her and her relatives. “It will explore Alix traveling around the world for work and her family dynamic,” a source told Us at the time.
Jurassic World Rebirth could be setting up an entirely new chapter for the iconic franchise.
The film, which hit theaters on Wednesday, July 2, takes place five years after the events of 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion. Scarlett Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, a cover operations specialist who is contracted to lead a secret mission to obtain life-saving genetic material from the three biggest living creatures on earth (that are, you guessed it, dinosaurs). The mission ends up even more complicated than expected when she and her team encounter the Delgado’s, a civilian family who have been stranded on the island of dinosaur rejects.
The other main players in Zora’s squad? Mahershala Ali’s’ Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s old friend looking for a new sense of purpose, and Jonathan Bailey’sDr. Henry Loomis, a paleontologist and former student of the legendary Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill). Rupert Friend also makes the journey as Martin Krebs, a rep for pharmaceutical giant ParkerGenix looking to cure heart disease with the help of dino-DNA.
Screenwriter David Koepp, who penned the original Jurassic Park screenplay — as well as 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park — returned to write the script for Rebirth after previously declining to write the first Jurassic World film.
No, there are no post credits scenes in the film. But you should still stay until all the credits roll. It’s proper etiquette!
Does ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Set Up for a Sequel?
Rebirth does not directly set up for a sequel and could potentially stand on its own, but there are a few hints that another movie is on its way. All three leads — Johansson, Bailey and Ali — survive the film. Johansson’s Zora also reveals her plans to open-source the DNA samples her team has acquired from three dinos (one by land, one by sea, one by sky) to “everyone.” Anyone who has ever seen a Jurassic movie can immediately understand how this (terrible) decision could set up the next film’s main disaster.
Not anyone important, really, which is good news. Zora, Henry and Duncan all make it out alive (somehow), as does the second major group of the film, the Delgado family (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo,Luna Blaise, Audrina Miranda and David Iacono.)
However, while Zora makes it to the end, some of her supporting team is not so lucky. Bobby (Ed Skrein) faces death by boat trip, Nina (Philippine Velge) loses her fight to a Spinosaurus on the beach and Leclerc (Bechir Sylvain) gets swallowed whole.
Don’t worry, bad guys die too. Mr. Krebs gets so brutally chomped by the D-rex (a.k.a Diabolus Rex, a monstrously genetically altered dino of your nightmares) after turning on our group of heros, only his arm is left behind. Luckily, it’s the arm that was holding the briefcase filled with DNA!

During the Wednesday, July 2, episode of the Bravo series, the reality star expressed remorse for throwing a drink on Guerdy Abraira during a heated conversation at Marysol Patton’s wedding celebration.
“Guerdy, I just want to apologize for throwing water,” Julia, 53, said while reading a text message she sent her costar. “I’m coming to you with an open heart. I want to clear the air and resolve any conflict between us as soon as possible.”
Cameras briefly captured Julia’s entire text message, which showed her desire to move forward in a more peaceful manner.
Although Russell was not present at the event, he was disappointed that other costars and supposed friends didn’t show more support for his wife.
“It’s amazing to me that not one of them had the common sense to be like, ‘This might not be a good idea. This woman is coming out of recovery,’” he said.
In September 2023, Guerdy completed her last round of chemotherapy. She later confirmed to Us Weekly that she is cancer-free after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
“I am actually sick to my stomach just thinking about it because it was a physical, symbolic act to degrade me to a level as if I was nothing,” Guerdy said in her confessional when recalling Julia’s actions. “I’ve never felt that way before.”
As an olive branch, Julia asked costar Adriana de Moura to extend an invite to Guerdy for her baby shower. She ultimately didn’t show because she was out of town in New York.
“Thank you all so much for the support — truly. Your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed.” Guerdy wrote via Instagram on Friday, June 27. “I also want to give a special thank you to these ladies who checked in on me after episode 3 aired. It’s one thing to live through a situation. … It’s another thing entirely to watch it all back on screen. Whew.”
Guerdy thanked Adriana, 59, Lisa Hochstein, Stephanie Shojaee and Dr. Nicole Martin for checking in off camera and being good friends.
“Sometimes stepping back gives you a whole new perspective — on dynamics, on people,” she continued. “That said, I’m still standing, still growing and still grateful just to be healthy. My focus? Good vibes only. Keep watching as I continue to share my navigation through my ‘new normal’ post recovery and continue my mission in becoming GUERDY 2.0.”
