  • Alexis Haines (formerly Neiers) was the star of "Pretty Wild", a one season hit reality show on E! that premiered in 2010. She is also the face of the Bling Ring, which was a group of Calabasas young adults who raided and stole from celebrities homes. Some of the celebrities that were targets are Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, and Audrina Patridge. I sit down with her today to talk about it all, from her reality past to her inspiring, sober, and beautiful present.

    you can tell she's done A LOT of work to get to the point she's at. tons of insight into her addiction and the dysfunction of her family. a lot of the language she's using makes it clear she's been to therapy, she's been to AA-like support groups, she's done and continues to do the work on herself to stay sober. props to her for the incredible growth!!

      a sex hungry pu%$y eater, using her own words?? i feel bad for her children having such a horribly selfish mother!! now her kids are going to have to deal with their own trauma and deep confusion of what love and sexuality is. shame on her husband for having kids with such a depraved soul and allowing the mother of his children to bring various sexual partners into their home!! pathetic excuse of a man he is. is he not supposed to protect his offspring?? NO, he has allowed himself to experiment along with her!! demonic shit is what this stuff is 100%!!

    She sounds like shes not there all the way. I think her husband probably of course is open to sleeping with other women but has loose morals on involving their children into her trauma and how she acts out because of it.
    Its one thing to be gay but its another thing to seek comfort in same sex relations because of trauma and it doesn’t seem like shes fully over it and her family will be suffering the same way her mom has put her around questionable “progressive” ideas and actions.

    You know how Alexis' mother's "Just do drugs at home where you're safe" is cringe now and clearly damaging? In 10-15 years it will be the same with the polysexual and open marriage stuff.
    I've seen this cycle already, it happened the 1970s with "key parties", and we just ended up being disgusted with our parents, and completely creeped out by our neighbors. It was like an energetic slime that stuck to us children.
    There is nothing new under the sun. I feel sorry for her children 😢🙏

    She seems very intelligent, healthy, and open minded.

    she talks about being traumatized growing up but that's exactly what she is doing to her kids by not teaching them morals. i would go as far as interpreting that as psychological child abuse. being so reckless with sexuality really screws up a person but to bring kids into your immoral lifestyle is truly depraved. i don't get why everyone is congratulating her on her progress and maturity. seems to me that she's replaced drugs with sex to ease her tendency of getting bored and going for cheap thrills!! she needs to work on her past trauma in order to stop that destructive cycle with her own children, who now to top it all off must contend with their parents splitting up. one abomination inevitably leads to another and so on. there's no escape from it!!

    I agree a lot of addicts experience trauma but not everyone. There's a lot of addicts out there who really haven't had much trauma at all. I'm one of them and I know quite a few of them which proves that addiction can happen to literally anyone. I will say though if you do have past trauma it definitely makes you more likely to have addiction issues compared to someone who hasn't
