Alexis Neiers is a former reality television star who rose to stardom on the show “Pretty Wild.” However, long before ‘Pretty Wild,’ Neiers made headlines when she was convicted of burglary as a member of the ‘Bling Ring’ gang. The crew has carried out robberies at the residences of celebrities, stealing valuable jewelry and valuables. She first denied her involvement, but eventually admitted to the allegations. And before the rumors of Neiers being a Bling Ring burglar could be put to rest, she was arrested for heroin possession. Neiers has indicated that she has had a lot of troubles as an adult as a result of being sexually molested as a youngster. Her drug problems were exacerbated by the assault, which also had an impact on her personality. Neiers admits to being addicted to heroin, Xanax, alcohol, and OxyContin in an episode of Nik Richie radio.

Alexis Neiers may now be known as a television personality, but she first made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Neiers was originally noticed in the media for her role in the ‘Bling Ring’ burglaries, as implausible as it may appear. Paul Oakenfold, Orlando Bloom, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson, Paris Hilton, Ashley Tisdale, and Audrina Patridge were among the celebrities targeted by the robbers. She originally denied her role in the robberies, but she eventually admitted her guilt.

Meanwhile, Neiers’ reality program, ‘Pretty Wild,’ launched on E! Network on March 14, 2010, while she was pleading not guilty to the felony charges. Alexis, her unofficially adopted’sister’ Tess Taylor, her younger biological sister Gabby Neiers, and their mother Andrea Arlington were all featured in the episode. The show gave viewers an insight inside their modeling careers as well as their way of life. Neiers was arrested for burglary shortly after filming the pilot episode of the show. The show then followed her life, including her arrest, trial, pleading guilty, and subsequent imprisonment.
Alexis Neiers entered a plea of no contest to a felony charge in May 2010. Instead, she was sentenced to 180 days in county jail, three years of probation, and a $600,000 fine. She started her sentence on June 24, 2010, but was released after serving one month.
