Influencer Alix Earle, who has a marketing degree and nearly 9 million TikTok followers, told Interview magazine she has never read a book, offering Dr. Seuss as a possible exception. The remark came during a Q&A that quickly pivoted to her hair color preferences.

Commenters online pushed back, with one calling the admission embarrassing rather than charming. Earle previously donated to her alma mater's business school, a detail some used to question whether her claim was literal.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
A marketing degree and nearly 9 million followers, and the one title she can half remember has a cat in a hat in it. Maybe that's the most honest thing anybody's said about what it takes to get famous these days. Then again, plenty of people have bragged about the one that got away when they never had a line in the water, and this could be more of the same.
