Real Housewives of Orange County star Lynne Curtin’s daughter Alexa shared what life is like now she’s living on the streets addicted to drugs
A reality TV star’s daughter has been left with missing fingers and teeth due to her addiction to drugs.
Real Housewives of Orange County star Lynne Curtin’s daughter Alexa appeared to have fallen on hard times following her addiction to heroin and then Fentanyl – 80 times more potent than morphine – which she said she was introduced to by a friend, who has since died.
In a shocking new video, believed to be taken in a rough California neighbourhood, the 33-year-old appeared to be missing some teeth as she spoke about her battle with drugs, which she said had been going on for about “six or seven years”.
She shared: “My life kinda just went downhill [after becoming addicted to Fentanyl]. I started smoking speed, hanging out with the wrong people I guess.” Though she says she is “doing a lot less” now, Alexa – who prefers to be called Lexi – is still using and says she’s been cut off by her family until she gets clean.
Speaking to YouTube channel LA to You Interviews, Lexi also detailed how she’d lost two of her fingers in a “bad car accident” due to her drug addiction.
Holding her hand up to show where her fingers once were, she said: “I was in a bad car accident and I’m missing two fingers, as a result of the drug use and s***. So that kinda sucks.”
She went on to say that some “really bad things” had happened to her since living on the streets, including being sexually assaulted.
“I put myself in a really bad situation and the guy handcuffed me. I tried to crack the window with my head but I couldn’t. He ****ing covered my mouth, covered my nose, I couldn’t breathe,” she said.
Unflinching, she continued: “He raped me for like two hours. Then he threatened to kill me. He let me go eventually. But during that time, I really thought that was going to be it for me.”
Talking about the future, Lexi added: “A lot of bad things have happened to me since I moved here. It’s not really a safe place. I’m probably gonna move back to Orange County eventually – I hope I make it there… I hear of girls getting raped all the time. So you just have to protect yourself and stay focused on you.”
Asked if her parents, who live in San Diego, have her back, Lexi looked upset as she replied: “I’m kinda cut off right now until maybe I get sober. Then they might support me with money again. But right now they don’t want anything really to do with me.”
Giving advice to young girls who might be heading the same way she has, Lexi – who doesn’t even have a phone at the moment – said: “Stay in the net of your friends and family. Don’t isolate yourself. Try to stay involved.
“Because if you don’t get involved, you’re going to most likely get depressed and turn to either making bad choices or bad friends and end up at the wrong places at the wrong time. Then you could develop a drug habit or alcohol habit, and it could really ruin your life.”
