Alix Earle has criticized Sophia Culpo for “talking” online after she accused NFL player Braxton Berrios of cheating on her with the TikTok star during the Super Bowl.
Berrios and Earle started dating earlier this year following the Miami Dolphins receiver's bitter divorce from model Culpo in March after two years together.
However, they didn't have the best start to a relationship, with some speculating that Earle and Berrios got involved while the recipient was still dating Culpo.
During a recent YouTube video documenting her 2023, Earle revealed that she met Berrios at the beginning of the year before they met again at a Drake party before the Super Bowl in February.
She insists that nothing happened between the pair during their time together in Arizona and that they were just talking and dancing.

Earle also claimed that Berrios did not go to the Super Bowl because he flew to Los Angeles to see an unhappy Culpo, after social media speculation suggested he and Earle had been in Arizona together.
Despite Berrios — who calls Earle “NFL guy” — trying to clear things up, Culpo insisted he had been unfaithful to Earle and that her side of events gained traction on social media.
It also previously revealed what Culpo, whose older sister Olivia is the fiancée of NFL star running back Christian McCaffrey, said to her in a message sent at the height of the scandal.
Talked about the drama on her YouTube channelEarle said, “The NFL guy's ex actually comes out and starts talking about her online, going along with the narrative that I was a homewrecker in the relationship.
“Listen, if you want to broadcast your stuff online, go for it. Obviously I do that myself, but this was the first time I felt like I had been dragged into this huge scandal. It's all over my TikTok, all over the gossip pages, the entire press is picking up on this.
“I've been through this a million times with NFL guys. I won't be with you if this is what happened, but I know nothing happened. I didn't get you at the Super Bowl.

'She went along with this story online. I guess I feel bad at this point because I think she really thinks this happened, and I was upset because I at least contacted me offline.
'This had become such a big problem online. She posted things, story after story, TikTok after TikTok. This feels so strange. If there is a problem, please message me and we will sort it out offline. This feels very cryptic and strange.
“It really sent me to a bad place. As much as it wasn't true, I don't like all this drama surrounding me and the NFL guy. I don't need to be in a relationship. Maybe we should take a break.
“So then I get this DM from Braxton's ex on Instagram. She's basically saying, “Sorry this is all online.” I'm like “it's okay” but in my head I think we've obviously been doing this for months so I don't know why this wasn't purposeful.
“She says things about the Super Bowl and she knew what happened. I said back, “I appreciate you reaching out to me. It's hard for me to be blamed for something I didn't do. I hope we can just move on.”
'That's all I said. I haven't done anything so I don't know what to do. I asked my mother what I should send back. She didn't answer that. She just liked it and we moved on.”
Culpo revealed in September that she used a spy on the Jets to find out Berrios was cheating on her.
Earle also accused Culpo of purposely appearing on a podcast at the same time her episode of “Call Her Daddy” — another hit show — was set to air.

She continued, “Braxton's ex then went on a podcast online and started talking about him and hinting that he cheated on her with me.
'At that moment I was so fed up. I knew this was pre-calculated because it was announced that I was going to Call Her Daddy and it was going to be released this day, and there's no way it could be a coincidence.
'I woke up thinking it was going to be the best day and I see another big story has appeared online referring to this lie. I just wanted to scream and hit someone.
“In this episode she said he was sexy and she said a lot of things about him that aren't the same guy I know, so maybe he was sexy to her, I can't talk about that. He tells me it's a lie, but what should I say?
“I hear her talking about how he cheated on her with me and she sent me a DM and we agreed to just move on from it. When I heard this I almost broke my phone in half.
“No, that's not what happened. Here you go again, trying to say this online, while I tell you this didn't happen. At least give me the respect to have a conversation about it.
“When I launched my podcast, I thought it would just be wrong of me not to address this or tell the truth about what happened. Calling someone a homewrecker is not a light thing to call someone and it is so disheartening to say so.
'We haven't dealt with anything since then. Hopefully that's all, because it wasn't a fun one.'
