How influencer Alix Earle's wild mechanical bull ride led to a misguided STD scare
In a recent revelation on The Hot Mess podcast, popular influencer Alix Earle, who is dating Miami Dolphins' Braxton Berrios, recounted an amusing yet cringe-worthy story from her college days.
The 22-year-old TikToker opened up about how a wild encounter with a mechanical bull at a college tailgate led her to jump to some rather uncomfortable conclusions.
Mechanical bull ride gone wrong
During her freshman year at the University of Miami, Earle attended a tailgate event that featured a mechanical bull.
She described how the lively atmosphere and a few too many drinks led to a mechanical bull-riding frenzy.
In her own words, "I rode that bull not once, not twice, probably 20 times thinking it was the coolest thing anyone's ever seen."
However, the excitement quickly turned to distress the following day when she discovered several bumps on her leg while taking a shower.
Earle's STD scare
Earle's mind instantly jumped to a rather alarming conclusion: she believed she had contracted a "bull riding STD."
Earle shared that she had heard a story in high school about a girl who rode a mechanical bull at a bar and ended up with an STD-like condition on her legs.
Panicking, Earle sought the help of her friend Hannah Knight, who happened to be studying nursing at the time.
In reality, Knight was still taking introductory biology and math courses.
They took to WebMD to investigate the issue.
Eventually, they discovered that Earle's condition wasn't an STD but rather "bull burn" from the previous day's mechanical bull adventure.
This humorous tale resurfaced just a day after Alix Earle was playfully roasted by social media users for joking about wearing heels while picking up her future kids from school, adding another layer of light-hearted amusement to her online presence.
