An 18-year-old woman who pursued fame on a cable TV reality show after being prosecuted for her role in the “bling ring” celebrity burglary case agreed Monday to plead no contest to felony residential burglary and was sentenced to six months in jail.
Alexis Neiers was a relatively minor player in the burglary ring but took on an outsized role when her arrest and prosecution coincided with production of the E! Entertainment reality show “Pretty Wild,” about her and her two sisters growing up in the fast lane in suburban Los Angeles as an aspiring Hollywood starlet.
Under the deal with prosecutors, Neiers will be placed on three years probation in addition to the six months in county jail. She also will receive a two-year suspended sentence and must pay restitution to “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Orlando Bloom, whose home was burglarized by Neiers and several others, authorities said.
