Alexis and Gabrielle Neiers are confronted by Rachel Bilson. The Biggest Revelations More Than a Decade After Bling Ring Robberies
In the episode, Alexis and Gabby implicated Tess in the robbery at Bilson's home.
"We have a third sister who took [Gabby] to Rachel's house that night because she was friends with Nick. She is four years older than me. Nick has this loyalty to her to the death of it. But when we got the opportunity to do the documentary I told Tess, 'I am coming forward. It is not fair. I don't want to harbor my secrets and your secrets anymore,'" Alexis alleged. "And she flipped out and went to Nick allegedly."
According to the siblings, Tess allegedly contacted Prugo who went on to lie about Alexis being involved instead. Gabby also broke down her memories of the incident which involved Tess allegedly inviting her. The former reality star said she was "pushed through a kitchen window" to open the front door for the other. She also recalled giving away the items she stole from Bilson's home to a homeless shelter.
Tess, for her part, previously denied any involvement in a statement to Us.
"I do believe the reason why you were targeted is solely because you were the same size and an idol of Rachel's. I think she was really in it for the clothes and things," Alexis claimed. "Some of the items they kept. Rachel allegedly took a lot of the items with her to Las Vegas when the arrests started to happen."
Alexis recalled running into Lee at a salon in Los Angeles where the Bling Ring co-leader works. "I told her, 'It is OK. I am not going to say anything. Let's talk after all of this is done.' I go through the whole haircut and I pretend I have never met her," she said about her appointment, which turned into Alexis and Lee having a conversation.
The TV personality continued: "She went to school and she is trying to rebuild her life. She is staying on the straight and narrow. Then this Netflix opportunity came up and it was originally meant to be me sitting down with Rachel to have a heart-to-heart about what happened. I got a call from Rachel and she was in tears saying, 'I just don't know how you do it Alexis. I just don't know how you face it or how you let the weight of all that [hit you]. I don't think I can do this. I don't think I am ready.'"
During her appearance, Gabby revealed that her confession about being involved in the robbery was cut from the Netflix doc because Prugo's version of events differed from hers.
"Gabby has clearly struggled with this secret that she has kept for many years. All I wanted to do was comfort her," Bilson admitted filming the episode, adding that she attempted to have "boundaries" with the guests. "Gabby had her baby here and for us to not meet a baby that took everything in me. It so goes against my nature. Those were very forced boundaries."
