I was in high school at this time and it cannot be stated enough just how much “celebrity lifestyle” was marketed directly to us. Paris was everywhere, Lindsey was everywhere, logos, luxury goods, etc. I knew people who were actively trying to live that lifestyle. It wasn’t just these kids, our whole age group was obsessed. They were just the ones that took that obsession overboard.
the new generation is obsessed with youtubers...the very old one with singers and bands... there is no excuse for what they did and no one, but them are guilty for their behaviour.
Absolutely! And we don’t even realize that we’re obsessing. As a child, I felt like looking like Britney Spears and Linsey Lohan. And that that the “image” that if you didn’t have it, you were a nobody, you weren’t attractive
I was in high school at this time. I never felt the need to be as vapid as Paris, as destructive as Lindsey. I never felt the need for designer anything. It's called strength of self.
Same. I'm 35 now and this celebrity lifestyle was very much marketed towards us. I felt poor since wasn't wearing designer threads, and then all of sudden my mom remarried and I had access to things I didn't before. We had money and all of a sudden I looked like it. Looking back now, I can't believe I even cared about such stupid and material things. I feel so free not caring about such things anymore. And those things are fleeting. I havnt had a designer anything in years.

Yes exactly, there's always some kind of form of it with every generation, flappers of the 20s, pinup culture in the 40/50s, hippies of the 60/70s, club kids in the 90s, and now social media influencers. Every generation's youth has its own version of it.
Ten years later, this really is so disgusting. These kids had these gross misconceptions of what it was like to be a celebrity and thought that if they rob them, that the same attention would be brought to them. I really hope they all got themselves the help they needed
if you do more research you’ll find out that this narrative was pushed by the media and NOT a true depiction of why they did what they did. Alexis was in severe active addiction and needed money, and also only participated in one of the robberies. Y’all just feed into whatever the talking heads say
I promise you if they were anything but white they would be on A & E with everyone in orange telling their stories void of the smiles and giggles while reminiscing…..
Nick Prugo went on to terrorize a Hollywood makeup artist getting get put in jail. He would later serve some jail time for it. He's a real piece of work.
Dang that sucks for Alexis. She was only involved in one burglary and yet Courtney and Diana were involved in a majority of them and they get off with probation.
Hollywood celebrities should be more extra careful about their things. Stuff does not just go missing around their mansions, houses, homes, condos, penthouses.
I love the camera man “ johnny how did u meet these kinds , when did you start receiving goods man” trying to sound all cool hoping johnny will respond
I worked for a celeb for 6 years and lived next door to him in the la arts district-he would leave his door wide open all the time and even would forget to close the doors to his freakin Tesla parked right on the st. Celebs jus careless. I also bummed a cig off paris at an Oscar’s party so I feel really cool rn lol. She’s VERY sweet
Honestly that time period was an exciting time period for teens and young kids growing up.. you just wanted to be seen as cool if you were a kid who had always been tuned into celeb culture. They must’ve had fun times during that period, I bet they get heavy nostalgia thinking back
@@ashleymckenna2808 its actually revealed now she was in depths of black tar heroin, like for real, during the time Pretty Wild was about to go live and all of the robberies began.... she was truly in an abusive household and some interviews she's done recently explain what lead to her behavior really well
They told people about the burglaries,,,,,they posted pics online wearing stolen property and nick confessed everything to cops (even stuff they didnt know about) …..none of them are that smart!! 😂😂
These kids were entitled spoiled brats. I don’t believe they didn’t have money Lindsey Lohan couldn’t go back in her home after they invaded it. No excuses for that, they should be ashamed. Money doesn’t buy everything, especially a piece of mind
@@kaitlynhall2112 I've heard that a lot of Armenians live in this city. Then, I've also heard, a lot of rappers live there too. It's just what I've read tho. I've never been to CA.
maybe it should be said that at the time, 2008 and 2009, Calabasas wasn't as affluent as it was now. They were well-off but when it was first constructed, many people actually didn't want to live there because of all the amenities in the city and how far away it was. Now, there is a lot more infrastructure and businesses around the community
Funniest thing is that Alexis was stupid enough to snitch on herself, oh Btw don’t believe what she said about Tess & her calling it in because it was only Alexis and she’s dragging Tess down. I feel like that family dynamic was so messy that they have flawed visions of life, Tess on the other hand got clean, moved away from the city & is now living a healthy happy life with her baby, Yes she’s a mom now! And a great one! Let’s all say sorry to Tess because she’s been put into this situation when she wasn’t involved in it, even tho she was friends with Nick, she wouldn’t have snitched on a friend, but Alexis clearly would
I can't believe nick prugo ratted all his friends out. That's so so low. And he didn't even secure a deal before he did that? So he's not smart either.
Hi iv never seen the film.everytime i put in the name of the film it just brings me to videos about it.hows that were can i watch the film if u could tell me
The movie is terrible and Emma Watson's performance is cringeworthy.. the movie is not "clever" (or anything else that it's trying to be) and has nothing interesting to say about our culture
Honestly if you were of the right age at that time you probably would have gone to Paris house too and definitely would have taken something. These it girls in Hollywood were all the media talked about... especially to younger people. It was inescapable.
She lied lol she just said that to try not accepting accountability for her part in the crime to try to get her prison/jail sentence as low as possible
@@BryceChillis earning and deserving is different. They are lucky to have money so they can get whatever they want but poor people work hard too and should be able to have decent things but not by stealing. These teenagers were selfish and stupid.

You picked great examples, since both of them were always in trouble.
Years later, it's interesting to see that this was the precursor to the Influencer Era. Right at the cross of celebrity obsession and narcissism.
I wouldn’t call it a precursor. If you think about it, influencing was always a thing. It’s just now done through different mediums.
This was the BEST short doc on this case!!
“EVERY TIME YOU FCKING YELL I HAVE TO RE-RECORD IT!!!”

“Four inch little brown Bebe shoes! 29 dollars!!”
Literally exactly what I was thinking when I saw Nancy’s name pop up on the screen 😂.
🙌🤣
“That was beautiful honey you did such a good job expressing yourself 😭” that whole scene was filled with icon behavior 😂
God, it kills me.

Reminds me of the club kid era. Pre influencers who desperately wanted to be "it" people.

problem with this is u guys failed to mention the major drug abuse and addiction they were all going through as well
True they were all heavily strung out on drugs, Heroin , Cocaine.
So!? It's their own FAULT they were on DRUGS... Idiots SMDH 🤬👎

He was gay but was in love with her in a platonic way but yet went on to marry a woman. Ok
I admit their reality show made me laugh because they were so unhinged but also there a lot of drugs involved and that was very serious and sad.
