Alix Earle clapped back at haters claiming she didn’t “deserve” to be included in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl 2026 halftime show.
When the influencer posted a behind-the-scenes look on Monday of her time “in the casita” on San Francisco’s Levi’s Stadium field, her TikTok followers railed against her cameo.
“You’ve never once used your platform and voice for the messages Bad Bunny sends,” one commented. “This is unbelievable and undeserved.”
Earle, per Us Weekly, replied, “I have 💗 and being invited to do this was such an incredible experience and so special.”
Earle’s rep has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
As for her connection to Bad Bunny, the duo were both in “Happy Gilmore 2.”
Additionally, they both know David Grutman, the producer for her upcoming reality show and the co-owner of Bad Bunny’s Gekko restaurant in Miami.
Grutman was spotted near Earle during Sunday’s show — and he opened up to Page Six on Monday about Bad Bunny’s decision to feature the “face of Gen Z.”
He explained, “[Bad Bunny] wanted to be inclusive of all. … Especially for the casita. He wanted to show a little bit of everything. And I think having her be the face of Gen Z and so much of America, I just think it’s a great thing.”
Jessica Alba, Cardi B and Pedro Pascal were among the other A-listers included.
Among the negative comments, some of Earle’s followers raved over her making “it to the Super Bowl before Braxton [Berrios].”
The “Dancing With the Stars” alum, notably, dated the Houston Texans player, 30, for two years.
The pair split in December 2025, with Earle later blaming their breakup on the “guilt” she felt over not being “there for him 24/7 and support[ing] him.”
She has since been linked to Tom Brady, first making headlines with the NFL legend, 48, at a New Year’s Eve party in St. Barts.
They cozied up again at a star-studded Super Bowl LX bash on Saturday, and People revealed their relationship status on Monday.
Earle and Brady are reportedly “hooking up.”
