From Reality TV to Redemption: The Journey of the Pretty Wild Cast Members
A reality TV series called Pretty Wild took a different direction when it delved into Alexis Neiers' involvement with the Bling Ring burglaries. Alexis, along with her sisters Gabrielle Neiers and Tess Taylor, was initially set to star in a show about their Hollywood aspirations. However, the focus shifted to Alexis' connection to the burglaries that targeted celebrities' homes, resulting in her arrest and subsequent legal issues.
The series aired nine episodes in 2010 but did not return for a second season after Alexis pleaded no contest to felony burglary. Nearly a decade later, the trio reunited on Alexis' podcast to discuss their personal journeys since the show ended. They reflected on their growth and recovery, emphasizing the importance of sharing their stories to inspire others.
Despite a rift in their friendship due to their involvement in a Netflix documentary about the Bling Ring, the former costars have moved on with their lives. Alexis has transitioned into a career as a counselor and is expecting a child with her fiancé. Tess, now known as Tess Amber, lives a sober life with her family in Wisconsin. Gabrielle, now Gabrielle Hames, is married with two children.
Arlington, another cast member from Pretty Wild, has become a certified life coach specializing in family recovery and relationships. She founded Families United For Recovery to support those affected by addiction. The former reality stars have each found their own paths post-show, focusing on personal growth and family.
