But of course, I was definitely brought to the end of my rope, or the end of my leg so to speak."

I just wanna have fun.”

Part of the infamous Bling Ring (a group of teens who stole from celebrities’ homes in Hollywood from 2008 until 2009), Alexis Neiers appeared on E!’s Pretty Wild in 2010 when an article about her participation in the crime circle was published in Vanity Fair. She freaked out on camera because the writer said she wore Louboutins to court, though she had worn much more modest shoes to stand in front of the judge. “You’re saying that I wore six-inch Louboutins to court with my tweed skirt,” she screamed, “when I wore four-inch, little brown Bebe shoes!”
