TikTok Star Alix Earle Is Giving An Update After Getting Scammed By A Housing Rental Company And Stuck At An Italian Airport

    "The girls trip took a turn!"

    TikTok star Alix Earle is living her best life on a postgraduation trip to Europe — but things took a turn last night.

    After Alix and 10 of her gal pals spent a few days in Ibiza, Spain, the group headed to Italy to stay in a villa in Positano.

    Things started to go wrong after they landed in Naples and discovered the villa they booked didn't actually exist.

    "We're stranded in Italy. The house we were supposed to stay at doesn't exist, our car service canceled, it's midnight, we literally don't know where to go," Alix shared in a TikTok.

    Alix later posted that it got even worse when they accidentally exited the airport without their bags and security wouldn't let them reenter.

    After somehow convincing security to get their bags, they embarked on an hourlong taxi ride to Positano and were able to book a hotel room in the middle of the night.

    "We somehow got our bags. We got in a random taxi. We booked a random hotel room for the night," Alix explained in a recap video. "It's like 2 in the morning and we have nowhere to stay for the rest of the trip."

    For the time being, it appears the entire group squeezed into just a few cots in their tiny hotel room:

    In an update the following morning, Alix admitted that they still had no idea where they were going to stay and the whole experience had actually been kind of scary.

    "Last night was a little hectic. I thought we were being kidnapped. I was so scared the whole time," she said.

    Despite the uncertainty, Alix says they're going to make the best of the situation — and it already looks as if they're having a blast.

    Fingers crossed they can find somewhere else to stay!
