Alix Earle thought she contracted an STD after riding a mechanical bull

Alix Earle once thought she contracted a “bull riding STD” after mounting a mechanical bull at a college party.

The influencer, 22, recalled the incident which took place at a tailgate during her freshman year at the University of Miami on Thursday’s episode of the Hot Mess podcast.

“This tailgate had a mechanical bull which is obviously so fun,” she began, noting the “drunk girls were eating that s–t up.”

“I’m flying around, I had my little game day outfit on … I rode that bull not once, not twice, probably 20 times thinking it was the coolest thing anyone’s ever seen.”

The following day, Earle was bathing in her dorm’s communal showers when she noticed several bumps on her leg.

“I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I have the bull riding STD,'” she said.

“My mind immediately flashes to an STD,” the TikToker said.

She explained that when she was in high school, a friend had told her about “a girl she knew [who] went to a bar [and] rode a mechanical bull” while wearing shorts.

“She got an STD situation all over her legs,” Earle remembered her pal telling her. “So I look at my legs and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I have the bull riding STD.'”

Earle said she was wearing a mini skirt while riding the bull at the tailgate.

The blond beauty was “freaking out, shaking, with tears in [her] eyes” as she walked to her friend Hannah Knight’s room.

“Hannah was a nursing major,” Earle explained, before her Knight jumped into the podcast to note that she was only taking biology and first year math classes at the time.

“I was looking on web MD,” Knight told the podcast listeners.

The New Jersey-born influencer, who is rumored to be dating NFL player Braxton Berrios, eventually revealed she had simply suffered “bull burn from the tailgate.”

The story came one day after the social media star was dragged for joking about wearing heels to pick up her future kids from school.

Dozens of parents took to the platform to comment, or share their own videos, highlighting the very casual ensembles they were rocking for the school pickup.

“I thought I’d look like that too when I picked up my kids from school. However I look like Adam Sandler,” one mother joked.

Another follower chimed in, “Thank you for giving us moms so much credit haha but we barely wear proper clothes much less any sort of heels.”
