Alex from Target fired? Alex from Target became a teen sensation after a picture of the young Target employee went viral online. A video of the young teen was posted by a young teenage girl and the young kid went from a store employee to an overnight sensation because of his good looks. Amazing what a female demographic can do.

Alex from Target fired rumors kicked off after a rumor mill was set up spreading the false rumor. Target has confirmed that Alex is still an employee of the retail chain. So why would anyone spread such false allegations?

According to the Huzlers website, Alex was fired from his position at Target when he went on to be extremely famous and the store was worried that his fame would impact the store in a negative way. Think of all the teen girls lining up outside the store just to check out Alex piling boxes of cereal. Quite possible if you remember Justin Beiber.

According to the rumors, Alex's supervisor stated, Alex is a good kid and all but this is ridiculous, I mean, can we really trust teenage girls? They brought fame to Justin Bieber for Christ's sake. We do not need negative attention and thousands of teenage girls coming to my store and creating havoc over Alex."

However, it has recently been brought to light that Alex was not fired and is still employed at Target. The Alex from Target fired headlines are all a hoax.

 It turns out that the rumors were simply a marketing trick employed by Breakr to incite the female fans and see how much of a trend the whole fiasco would blow into.

We wanted to see how powerful the fangirl demographic was by taking a unknown good-looking kid and Target employee from Texas to overnight viral internet sensation," states CEO of Breakr, Dil Domine Jacobe Leonares. There you have it teen girls, don't believe the Alex from Target fired rumors, your crush is still employed.
