Alix Earle is speaking out after fans speculated she and Bachelor Nation’s Kelsey Anderson had a tiff at Coachella.
“I was talking about like an older woman everyone keeps trying to pin this against other influencers 😭,” Earle, 24, commented on a Monday, April 21, TikTok of a content creator breaking down the rumor between the pair.
The drama began when Earle shared in an April 12 TikTok that she “got into a little altercation” with a woman who complained about her dancing during Lady Gaga’s set the night before.
“We got there and it was so, so, so packed. And no one was dancing, so I was jumping up and down,” Earle explained. “And there was this woman behind me and she kind of yelled at me. I don’t know if she said, like, ‘You realize there’s other people here, right?’ … I snapped a little bit. … I was like, ‘I’m trying to have fun, bitch.’”

Earle explained that her boyfriend, Braxton Berrios, positioned himself between her and the woman.
“We had beef the whole night. But then they left, like, 10 minutes later,” she said. “So, I was like, ‘Well, clearly, they don’t care that much about Lady Gaga.’ So, I was upsetting the Karens.”
Eagle-eyed fans noticed similarities between Earle’s story and Anderson’s version of her own experience during Gaga’s performance.
“This girl ran into me, straight up ran into me, and then screamed at me, like, ‘Don’t shove me, bitch!” Anderson, 27, shared in an April 13 TikTok. “And I was like, ‘Oh, my God. You ran into me!’ I wish that I knew who she was. She was definitely an influencer, but she was so mean.”
Anderson did not name who she was referring to and alleged that the incident appeared to be an accident.
“You might not have seen me. I didn’t see you. Sometimes that happens. We’re in crowded spaces. Let’s chill the hell out,” she said. “I think that people just think that they are bigger than things and just think that they can treat people like that.”
In the comments section of the post, Anderson replied to a fan asking if she was referring to Earle. “No I didn’t know who the person was I just am assuming they were an influencer haha,” Anderson responded. (Us Weekly reached out to Earle’s reps for comment at the time.)
Anderson, for her part, enjoyed the music festival with fiancé Joey Graziadei. While sharing a series of snaps from their outing, Anderson captioned an Instagram post, “🌵Coachella, please be nicer to my feet next year.”
